Sympathy for the Devil with 'Band of Skulls'


we're in Paris!
On monday we recorded a french TV show called 'Taratata' with 'Band of Skulls'.

The idea of the Tv show was to cover a 'Gold' track with another band. 'Band of Skulls' chose the Rolling Stones' song 'Sympathy for the Devil'. Our next album is called "Time for the Devil" so we thought it was a good sign.

and indeed, it went really well! 'Band os Skulls' are a very good band, and brilliant musicians. The track was very suited to their music and voice. we also realised we know so many people in common. we had an excellent time!!

John played guitar and I played the piano. Band of Skulls , Emma, Matt and Russell, played the bass, drums and guitar.
So all day we rehearsed the "woo uuu"s backstage -there was not much else planned for untertainment there anyway!

Check their website:
and Myspace

the tv show will be broadcasted in March... pfiou! that's a long time to wait.
but I promise it's worth it :)

lots of love

CHANEL HAUTE COUTURE / JOHN AND JEHN



Months ago , chanel picked a song for one of their little promotional video . They chose the first version of our song 'make your mum be proud' , it is very old for us , it s been recorded in our bedroom and john sings quite high ... We find it amusing , and we do love chanel creations, it 's just beautiful .
We just found it on you tube , enjoy!
