Laetitia's St.Petersburg show review

So, it started with me, tired after 8 hours of train trip, having breakfast and reading St.Petersburg Times when I came across the article about the forthcoming show,I made photos,so please enjoy, it's quite interesting, sorry if the pix are too small:

The show was amazing, but kinda short. Some songs (the new ones) were played with Seva Gakkel, Laetitia's local friend, playing on a cello. The guitar she was given was kinda broken, but it was fixed in the middle of the show with a piece of sticky tape. Laetita was sweet, often joking in russian, which she spoke quite well)
The venue was small, about 50 people came, so it was quite intimate. So I had a chance to speak to Laetitia. She was gentle and polite as always, signed some 7" for me. We spoke about 10 minutes, mostly about life things. But I asked some stuff about The Groop and the new Laetitia's album. Not much info there. Stereolab seems to be ok, still rocking..and hiatus is just hiatus. Tim is at studio now, working on the soundtrack. The new album will be quite the same as Monade. That's it

Also, the guy who arranged the show, the representative of British Council, noticed my Broadcast t-shirt and we spoke a bit, he gave me the setlist:

He said they recorded the whole show and it will be avaliable soon on monade's myspace

I videotaped about 6-7 songs in a great quality, just need time to upload them, so stay tuned
