Like. More Action Less Tears? Microphones in the Trees? That was some next level shit.

did you ever listen to Oiseaux Tempete? They're like a hybrid between both bands. Jessica plays on their latest album and toured with them this year. Here's a couple of live vids:
OISEAUX-TEMPETE «He is Afraid and so am I », LP «From Somewhere Invisible» (2019-10-18)
OISEAUX-TEMPETE «Weird Dancing In All-Night I », LP «From Somewhere Invisible» (2019-10-18)
Oiseaux-Tempête & friends, 31/10/2019 Tourcoing (F)
Oiseaux Tempête & Friends - He is afraid and so am I @ Le Guess Who 2019 Utrecht (1/2)
Oiseaux Tempête & Friends - Carnaval @ Le Guess Who 2019 Utrecht (2/2)
the ones from Utrecht are probable the best choice if you want to hear the most violin, in the others she's a bit buried in the mix
I now regret a bit that I've never seen the early stages of SMZ live. Didn't really like those first albums when they were released. But now I do and would have loved to hear those songs live. Regarding Microphones In The Trees, I don't like the
recorded version (it sounds a bit sterile) as much as when they play it
live.
Here's my audio recording of the first time I saw them in 2008, one of the funniest concerts I ever went to, the banter in between songs was so hilarious. Also saw them the
next night, which was less great probably because somebody had decided to put wooden chairs in the venue. Both are not the greatest quality in recording, but their great memories
Shameless plugs I know, but
this one from 2010 in Brussels is great, in quality, in banter and performance. Oddly enough, it looks like I also recorded their
last live show, in Germany in 2014. At least on setlist.fm there are no other dates listed after it. Damn, that last album was so great, and those songs live as well.
