Northbridge Piazza TV Guide

Each week Lablogotheque invites an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, filming the whole session. What makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectedly. Their goal is to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks.
