Les Fatals Picards

Les Fatals Picards are a French band that, since the early 2000s, has cultivated a distinctive style mixing alternative rock, absurd humour and social engagement. Driven by satirical songwriting and a marked taste for self-mockery, they have built a world where bittersweet critiques of everyday life, unleashed fantasy and unifying choruses coexist. They reached a wider public at Eurovision 2007 with L’amour à la française and have since cemented their place through a prolific discography — including Pamplemousse mécanique, Coming Out, Le sens de la gravité and Country Club — and a live energy that defines them. Always evolving, Les Fatals Picards continue to champion an offbeat, festive and mischievously clear-sighted form of rock song.
