Plastiscines - Barcelona

I first saw the Plastiscines at a show in Boston in 2009 and I was beguiled by them from the very first chord. A all-girl French rock band from just outside of Paris, I remember their beauty and stage presence sucked me in completely, a welcome feminine distraction from the grimey punk band on just before.

Catchy, glam and full of power, the music video for Barcelona has a distinct French feel to it, made more accessible with rock music. A pretty simple video, the band playing in front of a white backdrop, it still works, the split screens, dress, the colours and the way the video is shot evokes feelings of the 60s and 70s and pretty girls definitely make it alot more enjoyable. Pretty French girls who play their musical instruments well and hold a great camera presence definitely help. Their full-length album, About Love has some gems in French and in English, like Camera and Bitch, more great catchy girl rock.
