Hanni El Khatib | Dead Wrong | A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.
No need to reiterate the raison d’ etre of the Takeaway Sessions. The intent is obvious from watching these videos. Hanni el Khatib, whose Will the Guns Come out dropped two weeks ago, sojourns to the land of Sarkozy to kick some acoustic rockabilly blues. Or so it manifests itself in stripped down fashion. As always, these videos benefit from the Gallic charm and the freestyle feel. The question with these shows is the same as when you watch a cipher — can they hold their own without punch-ins and professional studios. The answer is yes.
More videos below the jump. And for these baffled by what those words just meant, there is also my recent review of Hanni’s album release show. Judging from the number of Hollywood agents that trekked to Echo Park, you will be hearing Hanni on terrestrial radio within the next half year.
