An Opportunity to Promote Alizée: Yelle's US Tour

[NarutoSoul]

The French artist Yelle has a US tour coming up this fall. These shows are a great opportunity for the US fans to get more people interested in Alizée, and to have fun while doing it! Wear something Lili-related, drop Alizée materials, have fun! The tour's success would also be something to show Sony/BMG that promoting a French artist in the US is a viable business venture.

Yelle's Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/iloveyelle
See if she'll be performing near you!

Thanks for the sticky!

[Idéaliser]

Good idea! Let's show RCA that Lili would be awesome in america :)

[ggin]

I'll be in Paris seeing Alizée when they are in Chicago!

Lucky... Thanks for telling me... *runs to the bathroom to cry and slash his wrists*

I wasn't bragging. I wanted to promote her at the concert. Now I can't do both.

[NarutoSoul]

I know... I'm just very sore about Mexico still... I was so close to being able to go, and then my bad luck reared it's ugly head. But thanks for at least being interested.

[Ruroshen]

Dammit, they're going to Vancouver, but not coming to Toronto? What the hell?

If either the Chicago or Milwaukee shows were on a weekend, I could swing it--I actually have family in Milwaukee--but going in the middle of the week is gonna be a no-no.

[Ben]

This is a great idea. Not that I particularly like Yelle, but it's an absolutely perfect target audience! LTNY will definitely be present at the New York date (October 14th). Setting it up now and will post details soon.

[Fish]

I do like Yelle, but she's not coming anywhere near the southeast.

[Idéaliser]

I'll try and see if I can go to the New York one on the 14th, not completely sure though...dunno how early parents want to leave for the 23rd in France :x

[Sir Wood]

Thanks for the info. I've never heard of this artist, but I noticed she will be performing in Denver at the Odgen Theatre (http://www.ogdentheater.net/) on Oct. 24 (unfortunately I will be in Paris). I did check out the venue's official site and noticed that they had a "Contact Us" link. So, I went ahead and sent them a message about getting Alizée here and what I need to do to make it happen. :D I hope they respond with some good information.

I also read in the "Alizée and America" posts (wow, talk about catching up on my reading) about how Ciara dreamt that Alizée performed in Denver and things didn't turn out so well, and some folks may think that to be a bad omen or Denver is not a good spot, just think it's fairly centralized and if it's good enough for the DNC why not Lili? Heck, even Madonna will finally be performing here in November. So all you Denver haters can just sit at your computer desk in awe if/when I manage to get her here! :p

BTW, maybe some of you folks can help with this promotion initiative and message their MySpace:

Yelle already came to Toronto during her Québec tour. A shame, too, because I missed the performance, and I'm a fan.

Bleah, the 14th is a Tuesday...again, the middle of the week. If it had been on a weekend, I was seriously thinking of making my way out to help. Oh, well...let me know if I can assist with material costs, or whatnot.

Boo-urns! How dare they not wait until we were ready to use their show as a platform to promote another artist! Fie on them, I say! :mad:

[NarutoSoul]

Haha, I'm glad that there is interest outside of Snatcher and I.

[Tchaikovsky]

Who the hell is Yelle? :cool:

[NarutoSoul]

Who the hell is Yelle? :cool:
Click the link to her Myspace, and find out!

[Tchaikovsky]

Hmph...well she's no Alizée :cool:

[espire]

It's worth going to see Yelle just to see Yelle, not just to promote Alizée. Either is a good reason, though :)

*Applause* Yep! I'll have my ticket for Oct. 11th soon enough. I took a look at how far she's going over such a short period... Such a busy lady!

[Ruroshen]

Haha, I'm glad that there is interest outside of Snatcher and I.

The Operation Disque Drop (http://disquedrop.blogspot.com/2008/08/op-drop-and-alize-shine-batsignal.html) guy is also paying attention:

So this is where you come in, folks--if you're an Alizée fan who'd be interested in being a remote operative for Op Drop at one of these shows, please leave me a comment here on the blog, or email me at disquedrop@gmail.com. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to distribute as many disques as possible in and around your venue, in the method of your choosing. I'll supply the disques you need to do the job, and ship them to you absolutely free of charge, if you can supply the manpower and legwork to get it done.

It's worth going to see Yelle just to see Yelle, not just to promote Alizée. Either is a good reason, though :)

Y'know, I've been streaming the songs from her MySpace in the background as I've been doing other stuff, and actually quite enjoyed them. Now I'm doubly ticked I missed her when she was here. :(

[TheBarrett]

42's a great reason, the answer, but what is the question?

[lefty12357]

I've heard Yelle on a local radio station here, so I started requesting Alizée on Saturday nights which is "all request night". The station is part of Minnesota Public radio, its programming is done locally and generally has a reputation for being open minded. I had no luck so I sent the station the Psychédélices CD and continued requesting, but still they haven't played her. It sure is frustrating.

[NarutoSoul]

Hehe, I ordered my ticket! :D

[TheBarrett]

Hehe, I ordered my ticket! :D

Congratulatories are in order! :D

[puffyrock2]

Yelle isn't coming anywhere near my neck of the woods, which isn't surprising. Not many big acts visit Louisiana anymore. Anyhow I have Yelle's "Pop Up" album and like it quite a bit. Has an 80's dance vibe to it and some pretty explicit lyrics at times (didn't know til I read translations):)

[Tchaikovsky]

Not coming around Indiana either :/

Congrats! I've been listening to her songs on MySpace and they are really growing on my. Another one to put on my buy list. :cool:

Maybe she'll do an encore tour and swing back through the US since I would like to see her in concert too. :D

[mavsluver41]

I was in photography class today, and to my great surprise, someone started blasting one of her songs (the "talk to the hand" one)! It would have been a great moment to introduce my compatriots to Lili...had nearly all of them not immediately protested and requested that "French sh*t" to be turned off :(. Damned xenophobic American ego.

Yeah... But that's why the tour's such a great promotion opportunity. The people that actually go to the show obviously aren't francophobes.

[NarutoSoul]

Five days... The Orlando show approacheth! So, can we maybe have a roll call on those who are going to a show? Only say if you are going, please... No more "I would, but I'll be in France lolololololololol..." type posts. My heart can't take the pain... :(

Okay, I'll start off the list!

To swing back on topic, here's an article I found in the Dallas Morning News today:

"Yell for Yelle"

French electro-pop songstress Julie Budet, whose stage name Yelle is a feminized version of the acronym YEL ("You Enjoy Life!"), first made her claim to fame on MySpace. She'll point her cupid's arrow at Dallas hearts tonight at 8 (doors at 7) at House of Blues' White Swan Building, 2200 N. Lamar St. $15-$35...

Wish I could have gone.

Yeah, I hear that, sir. I'm really bummed that I didn't discover her until well after they'd been and gone from Toronto. Hopefully they'll come back at some point in the not-too-distant future. :(

[Chommpers]

Anyhow I have Yelle's "Pop Up" album and like it quite a bit. Has an 80's dance vibe to it and some pretty explicit lyrics at times (didn't know til I read translations):)

I gave it a listen as well, and I have to agree. Ce Jeu is really really addictive too. There are some great tracks on the album, I am going to have to pay some more attention to her. I hope you guys have a great time at the concert.

[Youpidou1]

Not only promoting at this concert. But even if Alizée websites don't have a store to buy shirts from...there are a dozen places by me that create shirts. Cheap prices too. You should make shirts and maybe banners for homes or even lawn signs(so long as the copyright laws are taken into consideration before making any). I would put decals on my car but I am getting rid of my car now and getting a dodge charger. So there are various ways to promote her also. Whynot when your at this concert open a table with information about Alizée. Little booklets and brochures. But yeah I think it's a great idea trying to promote her there while listening to other music artists. Also. Make sure you promote Alizée America aswell so we can all give out information to the new comers if we didn't go. I am sure we would always love to see new faces here.

Tell them also she is a Jedi...Look at my signature...she leads the clones fearlessly into battle against the separatists and there allies.

Oh okay, thanks Snatcher. Yelle seems like a real humble and talented artist, not affected by glitz and fame. I'm starting to wonder if this "spoiled diva syndrome" is a predominantly American concept :(. Enjoy the show, tomorrow!

Did you fill out the form for a chance to get interviewed for her American tour video and the mask for an after show kiss from her? I think I might have enjoyed her show too.

Thanks for the links Snatcher, I really enjoyed the videos MM thanks for recording it. Yelle is one crazy girl lol, she looks like she is having fun and enjoys what she does though. Then she comes off stage and still interacts with her fans, class act! Looks like a really fun concert, AIR GUITAR!. Have fun at the NY show Snatcher.

Kiss?...:blink:

[mavsluver41]

Kiss?...:blink:

On her myspace, there's a little mask you can print, cut out, and construct. Supposedly, anyone who makes one gets a kiss from Yelle after the show!

As awesome as it would be, Lili should not do something of this sort. Because without a doubt, everyone in the audience would be wearing one, riots would break loose, sharp objects would fly, etc., etc., etc. ;)

If Yelle can tour in the US, there is no excuse for Alizée not to tour the US too.

OMG does she put on an amazing show! I walked out of the club dripping in sweat, my feet were in pain from all the dancing, jumping and just plain rocking out

And the crowd COULD NOT WAIT for her to appear onstage. She brings an energy to her shows that you would not believe unless you see it with your own eyes, Ill never forget this performance

Oh Lili take notes... learn from someone who knows how to grab an american audience... IN FRENCH! :eek: :wub:

Hey Amigo, did you mention, promote, or see any other Lili fans btw? Just wondering how feasible it would be to promote Alizee, you know.

or where was the concert?

He saw her in San Francisco. She should be playing in San Diego and LA this weekend.

Yes I did, and it was awesome :wub:

And well, considering the size of the venue and crowd, I'm not sure how well promoting Lili would have worked, it's a little hard to explain really :blink:
I wouldn't have gotten the chance, because of certain circumstances :(

But different cities offer more chances.

If any of you happen to be awake at 1:35 am (ET), Yelle is performing on Last Call with Carson Daly on NBC. If you can't get to a concert, here's your chance to see her perform live (on TV anyway).

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

^yes everyone who is up should watch it for sure

[mavsluver41]

Whoa, that was awesome!

So I'm watching the performance, right, and suddenly my dad shouts from downstairs "Hey, she's singing just like Alizée!" :D:D

Jung, do you know the name of that song, it's quite catchy.

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

A Cause Des Garcons (because of the boys)

it was truly amazing that she was able to make it on live TV in the US

she even got some of the crowd of people who never heard of her into it

I'm not gonna lie it wasn't near what the live performance in concert was but that is cause you are right next to fellow fans that are really into it

only thing I was hoping for that wasn't on there was the budweiser pants she had on in the concert:D:p

thanks Carson Daily for having Yelle on your show and thanks Yelle for coming to the US

Thanks for posting that video, Jung. I'm happy for Yelle and I am glad she had the courage to be the one to "break the ice" so to speak. I hope it pays off for her and that she goes on to prove that people in the USA can be accepting of French music. The audience sure seemed to enjoy it.

But I can't help but to think that Alizée could have been the one to do it, if only she had the will or desire. I hope Alizée is aware of what Yelle is accomplishing here and comes to realize that she may have possibilities here as well. As always, I guess it's up to her.

no problem she did amazing and the fact that she has had sold out concerts in the US is a huge accomplishment

and the fact she was on a major US TV channel is huge

I am positive that she will be back in the near future and I greatly anticipate it

and I believe that Alizée is aware of Yelle's accomplishments here hopefully it rings a bell and she can do some venues around here or maybe a just a late night show anything would be very helpful

Cool I was waiting to see it. The crowd surprised me, seems they really liked it, was a lot of cheering before he even announced her. Good to see a group of open minded people, hopefully paves the wave for not only french artist but international artist in general to have more of a market here. Anyway thanks for posting up the video here Jung, love Julie's high energy performances. Also thanks to those who recorded it, AC Mix, I'm guessing. Wish Carson or someone would have interviewed Yelle while they are here.

Of daydreaming

Wish Carson or someone would have interviewed Yelle while they are here.

it was Actually Mon Maquis who recorded it

Thanks jung. I'm sure seeing the performance live and in person is way better than some vid. Nice to see her breaking through the US music barrier.



yes the live performance is much better

video and pictures just don't do her justice I think
it is a completely different experience once you have gone to a live show

and they apparently didn't let her where the Budweiser pants:( made me unhappy

WTF was that? It SUCKS!!

it is much better when seen live

and to each their own I seemed to hooked right away for some reason

Aye, wait until you get to experience Alizée's live performances. :wub:

/holy rays of light falls upon the stage... ahhhhhhh

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

^hehe one of these days i shall

[Rocket]

The music stunk on ice. And for her clothes....don't get me started. I guess her style is anti-style.

[JCC]

Its a big thing for her...a FRENCH performer/band...to play on US TV. Too bad Moi Lolita didn't debut in 2001 or so. Alizee would HUGE here in the USA w/Moi Lolita..or even JEAM and JPVA. For her current album, 50/60 is perfect!!!

Thats said...although this is a milestone...the song did kinda suck!...didn't really care for it. But i hope Alizee is watching...and know that YES, it is possible to perform in the USA. :):)

Well her music may not be your style but, if you see her perform in person, (especially when she starts drumming ;) ) believe me you will never forget how awesome it is :wub: Just read my post back from halloween night. ;)

[Toc De Mac]

Wow, how great! :)

I loved pretty much everything about the performance: the song, the crowd, the inclusion of the remix, the crowd, the perfect outfit for her first performance in the U.S. (one which is perhaps poking fun at our overbearing sense of patriotism)...

:D

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

I saw your picture with her (Julie, is it?). Did you get a chance to ask her if she and Alizée have ever met?

well she knows of Alizée that is all I can say on that

Wow, how great! :)

she was supposed to have Budweiser pants on but obviously they didn't want her to wear them I guess:(

and she does know how to work a crowd that's for sure

[lefty12357]

I don’t mean to hound you, but is it because that’s all you know about it? Or is there more to it and you’d rather not elaborate on it.

[Paulina]

The song Yelle is singing was originally sung by Lio right? It's an 80's song I think.

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

^of that I am not sure of

and there is more lefty

[YesterdaysAirRace]

Wow, that was pretty cool for a TV performance. She even worked in the Tepr remix (if only she'd have busted out some Tecktonik moves ;)) Does she do that mix in concert?
The song Yelle is singing was originally sung by Lio right? It's an 80's song I think.I'm pretty sure it's a remake from the 80's yes, although I didn't know who did it.

The music stunk on ice.Well you've said you despise techno in general, and that was pretty techno.

I wonder if she knows those smart-alecks at FND films used Ce Jeu in one of their videos:

well, wikipedia says "is a song first released by the French duo of the same name comprising Laurence Heller and Hélène Bérard on their 1987 self-titled album." ;)

that is pretty much exactly how it was in the concert

I believe that is how it went not quite sure what show it was:p

[ImRawdg]

How do I get my hands on the good versions of Ce Jeu and A Cause Des Garcons? All I can download are really crappy ones that sound like incomplete mixes.

If you are not desperate enough to buy the album, then you are not desperate enough to listen to it.

Yelle seems to be getting attention.

This was back in March of this year.

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

^ No credit for the one who found it? My my :p
oh Barrett is the one who found it for me:p

[mavsluver41]

Yelle seems to be getting attention.

No kidding. And she's becoming rather popular with kids my age particularly; there have been five or six instances over the past few months where I've heard people talking about her and her music. Almost everyone who is in a French club/class at school has heard of Yelle, but almost no one has heard of Alizée (no use being sad about it, it's to be expected considering the latter's lack of exposure/promotion/interest in the American market). But the popularity is well-deserved, her style is definitely unique and, if I may add, is really starting to grow on me :).

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

^glad to hear that she has some popularity in Texas too

Have you told any of these people that like Yelle about Alizée?

if not just let them know sometime

[ImRawdg]

I would be very very amazed if anybody around me ever talked about Yelle or her music, or if I would ever hear it in public. Not here in Iowa. My two best friends hate the French, one hates them because of their military history, the other just hates them because the first one hates them...but if anyone ever speaks French in a game server he will tell them off very forcefully. But perhaps Yelle's and Alizee's futures are very bright for the US market. It seems to be the direction we're headed, and Yelle could change the entire view on foreign music in this country. (There could possibly be some other foreign artists that are similar and are breaking through, I just don't know about them)

Your friends make me angry. Military lackluster shouldn't be a reason to hate on a beautiful national identity that has shaped the American identity so much.
But for breaking music markets, I would love that indeed, I would love to see more Americans hear a lot more Finnish musics, amongst others!
Oh, and other artists growing a more popular American fanbase is this:

^well ND is basically the same but I do tend to blast both of them while driving my car

as far as other foreign bands the only one I can think of that is main stream in the US is Rammstien

there are others who have made appearances that I know of, but I can't think of any that have had major tours with as much success as Rammstien has you can even find there albums in many stores around here which says something

Yelle on the other hand is very unheard of around here and when I asked the guy at a local Music shop (the one that would be the only one that would possibly order anything) if he could get Alizée in he checked his suppliers and none of them even sold her stuff in the US so in short I have to either order online or get it from Barnes and Noble (as they can probably get it only at an insane price)

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

the original by ones by the names of Laurence and Hélène

[jung_adore_ALIZEE]

she also did Acoustics performing Les Femmes

3 weeks prior to Alizée's performance on there

[lefty12357]

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but it's my understanding that the song "À Cause Des Garçons" was written by Alain Chamfort and Pierre Grillet. The same Alain Chamfort that wrote "Adélaïde" which he, as you all know, performed with Alizée a while back.

an official remix there

[Edcognito]

I dunno, I rather like it. It's pure late-80's pop...maybe you had to be there :cool:


Yeah, pretty sure you had to be there! ;)

DAM! That was first done back when MTV actually played MUSIC ON TELEVISION! What a concept! Too bad they didn't stick with it... ;)

Ed:cool:

[Tomtentp]

I dunno, I rather like it. It's pure late-80's pop...maybe you had to be there :cool:

I like how they split it into two parts, girls vs guys... Guess they couldn't do that with Yelle. Also like the ending where it sort of builds up with everyone singing and finish off with a guitar solo.

And yeah, I really miss the old MTV aswell. Althou I only remember it from the 90s they still were tons better and had much more 'music' in thier playlist. Now days I just watch VH1 or ZTV, MTV is just a bunch of bs...
