Les Fatals Picards

Les Fatals Picards, a French band founded in 1998, have made the stage their natural habitat. Their trademark: a very personal blend of rock and French chanson, humor and irony, with lyrics that lean toward engagement without preaching. On March 13, 2027, they take over La Laiterie in Strasbourg for a concert conceived as a balancing act: edgy guitars, melodies that weave their way in, mischievous backing vocals and lines that hit the mark, all in service of stories firmly rooted in everyday life. Each song moves between social commentary and embraced absurdity, without moralizing, aiming instead for winks and collective energy. On stage, the band likes to break the fourth wall, address the audience, improvise and swap roles, with an irony that can appear without warning. Here there are no unnecessary artifices: a tight set, effective lyrics and a true sense of live performance, to recapture the distinctive mix that made Les Fatals Picards’ reputation.
