Wheels and Waves had all the ingredients I want from a bike show, including a good mix of music. The Saturday night party was at an open-air bar/restaurant. The drinks were an arm and a leg, but the setting was worth it. I was upstairs eating foie gras and drinking wine when I heard the band come on. I made my excuses and left for the stage.
Magnetix are a French duo, originally from the Biarritz area, I think. They put on a great show at the back of the open-air cliff-top area. Behind them was the ocean, you could just see the white waves rolling in. Look to the right and the lights of Biarritz could be seen. The most memorable gig I've been to in years and that it was part of a classic and custom bike show made it even more amazing. G
Magnetix, not to be confused with a three-piece of the same name. Lady drummer, geezer vocals/guitar. That's it. The singer had a very strange, but endearing delivery. When singing, he'd contort his face till he looked like the Bug from Men in Black (below). He didn't look like that normally.
Cool jacket, tattooed face.
Paul Vintagent was on a table wigging out in his cardigan.

Fantastic verbiage, mood inducing totally.
At least he's a healthy drunk...can of beer, several sit-ups...repeat...
Cool video. Like the white stripes' alcoholic dad just out of the scrubs. Love it..
I loved this live too, perfect with the atmosphere of the event
If Howlin' Wolf was still around today. And was 30-something. And French...
A kind of duo that you'd likely find at Warhol's Factory, plus the wall behind their stage was made of dark moving waves and that was absolutely stunning.
