Sophie Cappere LIVE in the Shed
June 27, 2009 by sheddj
Filed under In the shed, Shows
Sophie Cappere joined us live in the Paris Shed just after the New Year to play three songs live, and chat with hosts Jonny Sly and Gareth Cartman.
Very little was known about Sophie back then – and very little is known about her even now. The elusive Ms Cappere, however, turns out to be one of the most accomplished recording artists who have ever come through the Shed doors.
Her first album, Parenthese Enchantee, is available for download on Jamendo.com in its entirity – free of charge. Sophie wrote all of the songs herself, and entered a studio to record them, with a resulting album that is as well produced and professional as any you’ll find in your local record store.
What’s even more amazing is that Sophie funded and oversaw the whole album herself. When she came into the Shed, she played throughout with a cold, and even agreed to be interviewed (almost) exclusively in English.
In the second part of this podcast, we also talk to Paris-based American actor Mike Stromme, who talks about life in the French capital, how he wound up in Paris, and what it’s like to be an American actor in France. Mike also takes us back to his days in LA, and Sophie stuck around for this second half of this fascinating podcast.
The Sophie / Mike podcasts will be running throughout the week on Shed.fm, from 19:00 BST every evening.
New on rotation this week: Carrie Haber, Bidgie Reef, and Marmaduke Dando
Carrie Haber
Carrie Haber
London-based Carrie Haber won Paris Link magazine’s EuroVirtual song contest back in 2007, and has come on leaps and bounds since. From pop princess, she has matured into a singer of huge potential, along the lines of Fiona Apple, Bjork and Tori Amos.
Carrie’s latest song, “These 3 Words” is currently on rotation on Shed.fm, and if you want to see Carrie live in concert, then get yourself to London, or any of these venues:
|
The Bedford | Balham, London | ||
|
The Regal Room | Hammersmith, London | ||
|
The Source Below | Soho, London | ||
|
Wavelength @ the Regal Room | Hammersmith, London | ||
|
Summer Fest @ The Tabernacle | Notting Hill, London | ||
|
Cavendish Arms | Cavendish, London | ||
|
Harpus Cellar Bar | Bedford | ||
|
Blag Club | Notting Hill, London |
Marmaduke Dando
There’s a hint of the Neil Hannons about Marmaduke Dando, but that would be simplifying things – he’s a performer, a crooner, and a baritone with pirate heritage. “Odessa” is currently on the Shed.fm playlist, and it’s a great introduction to the world of Marmaduke and his band.
See him live here:
|
The Swan at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre | Southbank, London and South East | ||
|
The Camden Head w/ Andrew Clarke | Camden | ||

The Camden Head w/ Andrew Clarke | Camden |
Bidgie Reef & The Gas
Bidgie Reef & The Gas
Ultra-cool Bidgie Reef & The Gas hail from Reading, which is not their fault. They’ve attracted the attention of the BBC, and the Guardian confirmed their ascendancy by claiming that they are “bidding for rock immortality”.
We agree – and we’ve put three of their songs on rotation here on Shed.fm, including the brilliant, epic “Umbrellas”.
If ever you have the fortune to be in Reading, make sure you catch them here:

The Big Day Out, South Hill Park Arts Centre | Bracknell | ||
|
The Big Untidy | Reading | ||
|
Rising Sun Arts Centre | Reading, London and South East |

Shed Radio… going live
We’re about to go live here on Shed.fm – over the next few days, you’ll hear nothing but non-stop music that we’ve hand-picked ourselves, with some great unsigned bands, indie acts you may not have heard of, and everything that we like.
These include the likes of Rosemary, Marmaduke Dando, Radiohead, Fit and the Conniptions, Dazie Mae, Amelie, Headphone, Loudog, Theou Mounoukou, The Sway, Robin Grey, Le Galago and many, many more… It’s a bit of a mish-mash at the moment – with pop, rock, jazz, dance and everything mixed in, but it’ll give you an idea of what we’ve got coming up here over the new few months!
On Monday, we’ll kick off the live sessions with Dave and Marjolaine’s brilliant podcast throughout the week, as well as spoken word, 30 Minutes (as advertised in previous posts), and much more. Heck, we’ll even throw in a few jingles.
So tune in to the Shed, kick your shoes off and enjoy what we enjoy. Awesome.
