France: First live CD and DVD for Les Fatals Picards

A few days ago, a CD of Les Fatals Picards, last year’s French entrants, was released on label Warner Music France. Simply named Public, the record includes 21 tracks performed along their 2007 tour, as well as a DVD.

“L’amour à la française” can of course be found on the record. Also, the DVD has a special section entitled “In bed with Helsinki,” covering backstage of the Eurovision Song Contest 2007.

All in all, nearly 3 hours of images are offered, with clips, unreleased songs, several jokes and live performances shot by some of their fans, at a big French festival during Summer 2007. 

The band is still on the road at the moment. A grandtotal of 22 concerts (until next August) are already planned, including a date in the famous Parisian concert hall L’Olympia, on May 30th.

@mishan
Thats exactly what i appreciate in France, that they dont follow the "when in Rome" cliche endorsed by many countries lately. They just keep on their quality decisions and come up with fresh, but not degrading in any way, suggestions every year.

One of my favourites in 2007 contest! Shame they recieved so little points, but it doesn't really matter, most of songs that finished in top 10 last year I already don't remeber but L'amour a la francaise will always stay in my mind as very original and funny song!

Bon chance Les Fatals! Je vous aime beaucoup!

France should have done well last year, it was a good and original song. Maybe it will pay off this year (but to be honest, I doubt it).

The clothes and the choregraphy ruined the performance
And it was good to see that coutries like Estonia and Lithuania voted for us...

I voted for them last year. They were very good and funny. What a pity they didn;t do well.

I actually like les Fatals Picards, but there are not for ESC ... that's what the selection makers don't understand in France :( this year's selection is wrong too! Good luck to Sébastien anyway ;)
