LA BASTON

I entered a Battle Of The Bands competition here in Paris and was chosen as one of 60 bands to perform over a series of nights at La Bellevilloise. Each night has four or five bands perform, the audience chooses one winner and a jury chooses the other to continue on to the next phase. As far as I know, I am the only foreigner in the competition. And as most indie rock bands here sing in unintelligible English, I thought "DUH, I got this wrapped UP. My English is WAY more awesomer than YOURS is, Fraaaaaance." Last week I got the line up for my night and was surprised at the curve ball. They booked me on the only night the other three bands all sing in French....La Chanson Française.

(eyes narrow)
Fine.
Be that way, France.
I'll fight a battle on foreign turf.
On your terms.
And I will WIN.

I'm not scared of your chanson.
I got my OWN chanson and it's got BROOKLYN NINJA written all over it.
Bring it.
