carte blanche - gong
le 2 novembre 2009

Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage et Didier Malherben membres du groupe Gong, sont les invitée de Fip, le lundi 2 novembre à partir de 21h, pour leur carte blanche.
Quarante ans d'existence, plus d'une dizaine d'albums, un parcours jalonné de rencontres, Gong est l'un des groupes mythiques des années 70, représentatif des courants planants et des idéaux des années soixante-dix. Fondé par Daevid Allen et Gilli Smyth après mai 68, le groupe fut l'un des premiers à comprendre que la musique n'avait pas de barrière et que les mélanges ne pouvaient que l'enrichir.
Pilier de la scène rock alternative Gong, c'est reformé en novembre 2006 pour une série de concerts, notamment à Londres en 2008, invités par Massive Attack au Meltdown Festival.

L'énergie retrouvée et le plaisir de jouer à nouveau ensemble a ramené Gong vers le chemin des studios… Le groupe a sorti un tout dernier album studio, " 2032 ", sélection Fip d' octobre.

Cet album sonne le retour de Gong et le début d'une grande série de concerts.

Lundi 2 novembre de 21h à 23h, la veille de cette tournée, Fip accueille Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage et Didier Malherbe pour une carte blanche. Un rendez-vous unique pour mieux faire connaissance avec Gong : son histoire, ses influences, ses inspirations...une belle soirée à vivre sur Fip !

Gong on my favourite radio station FIP 105,5 FM up from 9PM with Daevid Allen, Steve Hillage et Didier Malherbe as guests, it's a Carte Blanche, so they will bring along their own playlist....a good aperitivo for the concert the 4th of november

Thanks for the link. very helpful.

I would love to hear more about about continental circus but the focus will most likely be on the albums released post-1969.

Yep I liked Captain Beefheart.  And the joke about Bloomdido Bad De Gras or Bloomdido Coup de gras!

 
No need for a translation but an idea of what they were talking about some time might be nice. 
 
Enjoying the music though!

Was only able to catch part of the show but at least I caught a few things here and there. I am assuming it will be archived online.

I mentioned Continental Circus earlier in this thread and so I went ahead and prepared a post on the album and the film.  You can find it http://machinemusic.org/2009/12/01/continental-circus-gong-daevid-allen/ - here if interested.
