NeO Live from Paris, France (FULL SHOW) (Patreon)

Hey everyone! 

I write this from Dubai as we fly home after the end of our European tour. It was our longest ever tour (7 weeks all up), and we all had an absolute blast. We've filmed a bunch of other things in the past week which will be going up here soon but in the meantime here is a diary update from Benji for the shows in his home country of France, plus the video for our full sold out show from Le Divan Du Monde in Paris! We streamed this show live for our Master members but the wifi ended up being not as good as we hoped which affected the quality. Thankfully we doubled the show on Matt's camera which came out really well so everyone can watch is in much better quality start to finish now. We hope you enjoy the show! - Tim

Marseille : On October 29 I woke up to a familiar scenery, the Provence region of France ( south east ). We were playing in Italy the day before and were on our way to Marseille, I woke up when we were around Nice and enjoyed the rest of the ride. It's a beautiful drive and I am familiar with it. We pull up at the venue, Jas Rod, early afternoon and I'm immediately graced by a couple of locals with their distinct Marseillais accent. It s the beginning of November but the weather is great. It often is in this corner of the world. We get to play a great show, and I get to catch up with a bunch of friends from there.

After 3 days in Spain the route takes us to France once again, Toulouse this time, it's a first for the band. As soon as we arrive I went for a walk in the city center, Toulouse Is a very beautiful and chilled city with a laid back culture, which suits me perfectly. We get to play at the Metronum which is a new facility, government funded, that offers everything you want from a venue and more, the crowd was pumped and we met a lot of people after the show!

The next day took us to Brittany, north west of France, to the city of Rennes. We play a venue called Antipode, just north of the CBD. We enjoyed a beautiful 3 course dinner at the venue with all the bands and crew, it's always a great time of the day when we can all get together and chat around a nice meal, and we certainly always appreciate when the promoter/venue ensures no one goes hungry and feeds us good products.

Finally on Friday the 4th of November we arrive in the Pigalle district of Paris. That city being tiny and overcrowded we cannot park the bus, we must drop and go. The venue is called Le Divan Du Monde, just at the bottom of the Sacré Coeur Basilique. It used to be a theatre centuries ago and still has paintings all over the walls, it is gorgeous, and the show is sold out. We play a fantastic show, the crowd is filled with the familiar faces of friends and family and I'm feeling fantastic! Always a very special moment playing in my home country -
