Movement - Let's hit the road

Your Movement hosts, Spencer and Martin, take to the road and head for Paris in search of the best in new French music.

A long first day at the wheel ends with a chilly night camped in a dodgy Parisian side street. Whoever said rock and roll was all about swanky hotels? In the morning, it'll be time to meet some of the hottest new French bands around.

Amongst the headstones and tombs of the Montmartre Cemetery, while visiting Jim Morrison's grave, Spencer and Martin run into the first band on their shortlist: the funky electronic trio Minitel Rose.

Two videos from Minitel Rose - Continue, an addictive track you might be hearing in your favourite club soon, and Be With You, a happy tune all about a schoolboy's first love affair - with his Walkman! - are available to download from PLAYSTATION Store now.

Spence and Martin's spirits are dampened though when electro-rockers Pravda fail to keep their rendezvous... Making up for their poor time keeping are two great performances available to download - Je Suis French, a song that plays upon the English perception of French girls, and Tu Es A L'Ouest, inspired by a Russian newspaper and the Cold War.

Download exclusive band performances, interviews and road trip episodes by signing into PLAYSTATION Store on your PLAYSTATION 3 or, for PSP owners, by downloading the videos at PLAYSTATION Store (PC).

To access both the PS3 and PSP versions of PLAYSTATION Store you will need a PLAYSTATION Network account.
