Temples was in Paris at the Elysée Montmartre on Monday, April 24, as part of their European tour, for a sold-out concert!
Temples are a British psychedelic rock band consisting of James Edward Bagshaw (vocals, guitar), Thomas Edison Warmsley (bass), Sam Toms (drums) and Adam Smith (keyboards, guitar). They recently released their second album Volcano, on this occasion they undertook a European tour that stopped in Paris to take possession of a sold-out Elysée Montmartre ! We were there, here is the postponement!
Temples: a magical concert!
On the evening of Monday, April 24, it was an Elysée Montmartre that we found with a diverse audience eager to find Temples ! Suddenly the lights go out, the audience is impatient and lets out screams until they show their true enthusiasm by seeing the members of the band on stage ! They started their set with All Join In and Colours to Life. Before starting Roman God Like Man, bassist Thomas Edison Warmsley will speak in French "Bonsoir Paris! All right?" then add that the next track is from their new album Volcano !
Temples continued his concert with Sun Structures which was then highly acclaimed by the audience present that evening, which elicited a huge thank you from singer James Edward Bagshaw. Then Temples continued with Certainty as well as (I Want to Be Your) Mirror where James Edward Bagshaw greeted the crowd and thanked Paris several times !
Before starting Keep in the Dark, the singer will say that it is a sexy title. The first notes reasoned, the audience recognized their hit and had fun like never before to cheer Temples ! For Move With the Season, James Edward Bagshaw approached the pit to better return to osmosis with his audience.Before performing their next song, James Edward Bagshaw stared at his drummer Sam Toms and then gave him the start to start Mystery of Pop ! At the end Thomas Edison Warmsley thanked the audience !
Suddenly, James Edward Bagshaw abandoned his guitar for How Would You Like to Go?, the singer hit his chest several times as a sign of thanks but also testimony of the emotion felt by the band tonight who is clearly having fun! The concert continued with Open Air which ended with a shy thank you from the singer but especially once again many cheers !
James Edward Bagshaw then took the floor saying that tonight it was sold out and suddenly he wanted to thank us for coming to see them, it touched them enormously before continuing with their title Mesmerise where he encouraged the audience to applaud. At the end, the bassist thanked the audience and it was time for the sad news: the singer said that the next song was the last followed by a "Thanks, cool!». The concert ended with Strange Or Be Forgotten and a huge "Thank you Paris! Thank You!».
Temples left the stage but the audience that night began to stamp their feet, to shout: they wanted the band back on stage! When the members arrived on stage, those present that night cheered Temples more loudly! The concert ended with A Question Isn't Answered and Shelter Song to our delight.
If at first glance Temples seemed very shy to us being uncommunicative with its audience, we could especially notice that the group delivered us an excellent concert where all the people present, this Monday, April 23 at the Elysée Montmartre, let themselves be transported by their psychedelic rock. In addition, we could see that Temples had a real pleasure to play for us tonight, while being really moved by the love that their audience offered them. It was a magical concert!
