French Tour, Autumn 2009
"Peter Walsh, of The Apartments" played three shows in France in November 2009. Peter Walsh played with Eliot Fish (and also two French musicians on some of the songs) in Chinon, Paris (L'Européen) and Clermont Ferrand, to critical acclaim (many articles in the French press to celebrate this come-back). The band was supported by French act 49 Swimming Pools, whose members are fans of The Apartments and helped to organize the small tour.

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or autumn:
“Justice has its anger, my lord Bishop, and the wrath of justice is an element of progress. Whatever else may be said of it, the French Revolution was the greatest step forward by mankind since the coming of Christ. It was unfinished, I agree, but still it was sublime. It released the untapped springs of society; it softened hearts, appeased, tranquilized, enlightened, and set flowing through the world the tides of civilization. It was good. The French Revolution was the anointing of humanity.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“They may bring their fattest cattle and richest fruits to the fair, but they are all eclipsed by the show of men. These are stirring autumn days, when men sweep by in crowds, amid the rustle of leaves like migrating finches; this is the true harvest of the year, when the air is but the breath of men, and the rustling of leaves is as the trampling of the crowd.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
