Fatals Picards continues to give concerts all around France

esctoday.com reports:

Their (bad) Eurovision experience has not affected the Fatals Picards' career at all, and the group continues to give concerts all around France.

According to their website, the group already have 37 concerts to give by May 2008, the biggest of them all being "La Fête de l'Humanité" on 14th September, near Paris. On 15th August, they will perform in Luxey (on the Atlantic coast) and will meet the group MAP there, one of this year's French contenders. They will also meet les Wampas on 19th August at the Festival Euryth'mix, in Brussels, Belgium.

Proud to share placing with UK

On the news page of their site, Les Fatals state clearly that they "nearly got the last place" in Finland. They also write : "we did what can be done, we were not first... but not last either, and proud to share that placing with the British representatives".

They also thank their supporters.

The band's fourth CD album, "Pamplemousse mécanique", which was released last February, had a second pressing including the Eurovision entry, "L'amour à la Française", and a special sticker on the case. Regarding its sales, "Pamplemousse" is still placed at number 114 (out of 200, in the official French sales list), its best place being 24th.
