We Wanna Party With The Bonaparte 2011

[sbessiso]

Best non-Prince set at Roskilde. No youtubes can be found of that particular show, maybe because everyone was one sweaty dancing mess in a packed tent at like 3 in the morning. Chiapet can back me up.

[sbessiso]

At least some US dates. C'MON!

[chiapet]

They reeeeeally need to play in the US. At Coachella would be fine.

These guys were so much fun and so weird. You should post a few pictures from their set.

[chiapet]

They've been busy.

Actual videos!






I still love the acoustic "My Horse Likes You".. with the horse in the background.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Wow, this is shit tons of fun

[iliketurtles]

Full support.

[chiapet]

Wow, this is shit tons of fun

You don't know the half of it! Salah should post his pictures from Roskilde...

[sbessiso]

Wow, this is shit tons of fun

Their set at Roskilde was completely off the wall mad bonkers. Never seen anything like it before really and the crowd was one non-stop dance moshpit.

You don't know the half of it! Salah should post his pictures from Roskilde...

I attempted to upload pictured the other day and my computer wasnt having it!

i want this....bad! holy crap, you guys weren't kidding when you told me about this band. can you imagine how much this would go off late night in the Gobi. fuck that...if/when they play here, it's going to be totally insane. it had just better be on a weekend night, because i see a massive bender happening around this show!

[darkjustice]

I'm really glad I decided to look at this thread.

[chiapet]

The videos don't even do justice to how fun, but weird and random, their performance is. It's hard to even describe, it's like circus animal burlesque. The part where they played "Computer in Love" and the girl in pasties started making out with a computer-head, for a second, I thought "NO... this is too cheesy." But the degree to which they commit to it actually makes the cheesy parts GREAT.

[chiapet]

I've had this song in my head all day



(Audio is kinda crappy/muted but I can't find any decent videos for this song)

[mistakenstrangers]

SUCH a good live act

read this before: if you book us you DON'T really get 21 people and 12 disturbed animals and a real elephant because you wouldn't be ready for that, we'd need a house, a chef de cuisine, a gardener, a horse whisperer, a doctor and a pool - in short an entire hotel ***** - and also a huge old rokoko theater to perform in. since you don't have all of that... what you DO get is: a show with plus/minus 9 people from the collective risking their private and public lifes for you, dressed as animals or wurst and a loud concert somewhere im grenzbereich and mucho fun fun fun! (btw. a hot pool would be cool nevertheless).

We need to figure out how to get these guys booked in the US

[sbessiso]

what is that from? They keep responding/teasing me on facebook

[chiapet]

From their website... they are not coming to the US. They're just teasing us.

[frizzlefry]

I kept getting more and more excited reading this thread and than I read that ^ That's what I get for trying new things

[PapaDill]

I'm Kinda loving this

[sbessiso]

how does that mean theyre not coming to the US?

[chiapet]

I think this is the clearest video I've seen of what's actually going on on stage while they perform

http://vimeo.com/22165009

[GeezrRckr]

we can embed Vimeo now. Let's see this.



EDIT: awesome. Must see them!

[chiapet]

Oh cool, thanks. Didn't know about the vimeo tags.

[GeezrRckr]

Little known secret.

No tears! You're so much cooler now that you're into a band that not many people are keen to, that no one in the states will be seeing locally... or you could go cry, realizing none of that helps the situation at all ='( On the other hand... it's a good excuse to dance like you can, when you know you can't =) I can't dance made my day
