The Fake Nick Weil and I attended one of the better live shows I've seen in recent times last night at the Highline Ballroom. YELLE might be the biggest thing to come out of France since baguettes and Gerard Depardieu. The energy that lead singer Julie Budet riled up from the crowd was quite impressive, considering I didn't have too many expectations going into the show. My biggest question prior to the show, was what type of crowd would be in attendance. It was definitely an interesting mix of little hipster girls, French/euro weirdos, and the weird Lupe Fiasco sub-culture. YELLE, which is a "feminized acronym for 'You enjoy life'", gained notoriety and popularity via the pages of Myspace (www.myspace.com/iloveyelle). Recently, YELLE performed at the Coachella Festival, and other various dates across the US and Canada. YELLE's quick rise to fame proves how vital and important a tool the internet continues to be in the success of young and upcoming musicians. For all you aspiring musicians, keep plugging away...
Things you KNOW were spotted at the show:
Lot of gold, silver, and neon spandex
Tons of stretched out tank tops
Gold plated casio watches (courtesy of The Fake)
LOT of American Apparel gear
Black and white stripped shirts EVERYWHERE
Smelly euro weirdos
Underage hipster girls wearing moo-moo's or t-shirts as dresses
