Une Passante

Tonight 5 of us (Ed, Jeff, Francesca, Charlotte and I) ate at Pizza e Musica and then went to Loop because Saturday nights they always have live music. Saw a lovely band called Une Passante (French for “A passser-by”). They have a female lead vocalist who also plays guitar, a lead guitarist  who does back up vocals, double bassist/back up vocals and a drummer. All of them played the box accordion at least once except for the percussionist. They play quiet, quirky, slightly folky music.  They’re Italian but unfortunately really only do English songs (and a bit of French as well), which was a bit disappointing. We always enjoy deciphering Italian lyrics! One of my friends was particularly perturbed by her accent, especially when it came to the “th” sound. I just thought it was a bit cute. It’s not like our accents are much better when we speak Italian! But their music was great. Bands with double basses are usually winners!
