It is hard to tear a stylish crowd away from shows in the middle of Paris fashion week, but if anyone can grab their attention it is Jamie Bochert. Saturday night at Le Carmen, Bochert and boyfriend Michael Pitt staged an intimate performance of their band, Francis Wolf. With Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, Isabeli Fontana, Viktor & Rolf, Natasha Poly and many more in the audience, the duo rocked out with a series of haunting songs complete with a string section and video installation. Not exactly dance music, as Bouchert, quipped during the playful performance, but certainly mesmerizing and soulful tunes that kept the audience enthralled all through the night up to the intense Michael Pitt guitar and amplifier smashing finale.
