Elmer Food Beat

Elmer Food Beat arrives at the Cabaret Vauban in Brest on March 20, 2026. Formed in Nantes in the late 1980s, the band established a no-nonsense rock—tight riffs, a straight-ahead drumbeat and mischievous lyrics that mix everyday satire with a slightly roguish humour. On stage it’s direct and effective: driving guitars, crisp backing vocals and choruses you quickly find yourself singing along to, from “Daniela” to “Le plastique c’est fantastique” and “La caissière de chez Leclerc,” as well as more recent tracks. True to their straightforward spirit, Elmer Food Beat perform without frills, favoring simple arrangements and steady energy. The set draws from their entire discography, from early songs to the latest releases, navigating between memories of loud nights and new refrains built to be sung together. Old-school French-language rock—guitar, bass and drums with a wry smile—for an evening that puts things right at the Cabaret Vauban.
