On Thursday night we went to see Hocus Pocus…again! It was a concert at “La Maroquinerie” to introduce their new album that’s coming out in September. And wow, what a good concert! I’m not ashamed to say it…I love Hocus Pocus! They sang a few songs from their last album, 73 Touches, and a few new ones, including the new single Vocab that came out the same day. They were cool as usual, wearing colours to match the cover of Vocab!. 20syl was wearing a black polo with turquoise and yellow stripes, and the others were in black shirts with either a turquoise tie, or side pocket. So co-ordinated! And just in case you can’t make out exactly what they’re saying, the message behind the song is that they’re NOT fans of the style of hip hop that uses vulgar language, like the words you hear them say. They say “Je veux pas de tes beep!” which otherwise translates as “I don’t want your beep!“. Positive message, as usual. Near the end they sang On and On, the song that made me discover the group in 2003. That made me so happy! J’adore that song!

On the way out, I got myself a T-shirt to go with the button I bought the second time we went to see them in concert. I think this is the 5th time we’ve gone to see them, and we’re going to see them again in October for their new album. So I guess you can officially say that I’m a Hocus Pocus groupie…and proud of it!
