A few photos from the Rotterdam performance of Fol Chen, the Los Angeles-based art rock slash electro-pop band fronted by Noah's Arc director Patrik Ian Polk. The band's European tour ends tomorrow in Rennes, France and included Dijon, Paris, Amsterdam, and Antwerp.
Patrik has been Tweeting from the road such as this update earlier today: "In Nantes, France...performing at the University here tonite. Should be a fun show. 3 other bands opening 4 us #FolChenEuroTour09."
Fol Chen's Janet Jackson-inspired "Cable TV" was one of the breakout tracks of the Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack. The band also covered Prince's "The Beautiful Ones" on SPIN's Prince Tribute CD Purplish Rain. Patrik Ian can be heard on lead vocals. The free download is HERE. The trivia answer is KEYBOARDIST.

The song "Home to me" from the movie Punks (and also used in the series) and "The Idiot" from the movie were pretty good- multi talented, indeed!

I'm envious. I want to be touring Holland, Belgium, and France in a band.

I hope his music is better than his television and film making. Yeah, bring on the boos, I don't care. "Noah's Arc" was just painful
