Here’s a clip of Bad Lieutenant — aka Bernard Sumner and a couple other guys on acoustic guitars — running through the New Order classic “Bizarre Love Triangle” at an in-store performance in Paris this past Wednesday. The band was in France for a performance at the Festival les Inrocks, one of its handful of debut European dates. Next up: A few gigs in the U.S., including a couple slots opening for the Pixies, and then a December run supporting the Pet Shop Boys in the U.K.
