The New Music

By Kenia Pena

Last night I had the opportunity to witness Sebastien Tellier in the flesh, at the MOD club. I was so excited to see him, especially since I was on my 10 day marathon of only listening to his music.

When he got on stage you couldn’t help but notice his very European style, his full beard, long hair and signature black sunglasses. This look made it very hard to believe that he’s only 34.
He didn’t say anything when he first got on stage. He just picked up his electric guitar and started playing his catchy electro song “Kilometer”. The crowd quickly responded with a loud cheer. We were all so excited to begin the Sebastien Tellier sultry ride.
He eventually greeted the crowd, started telling us jokes (He’s very funny) and went straight to his bottle of white wine, that was sitting on his keyboard and poured himself a glass, which he would repeatedly go back to after each song. He loves his wine!

His performance was excellent! He would wale out on his electric guitar, go off on some crazy solos and then create a smooth sultry symphony on his keyboard. He played a lot of his electro hits at the beginning of the show, while thrusting at his guitar, seducing the mic stand and waving his fingers in the air, as though he was touching long flowing hair.
Towards the end he played “La Ritournelle”, one of the most beautiful love songs and “Lamour et La Violence”, which caused a tear to run down my face. There’s something about his French voice that I love. Maybe it’s his accent…I’m a sucker for accents.
Over all, he made me feel sexy, he made me feel happy, he made me feel sad, he just made me feel!
Check out his latest album Sexuality, which was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk.
