Les Trois Accords - Toujours les vacances

Les Trois Accords bring their Toujours les vacances show to Centre Vidéotron in Québec on April 17, 2027. Formed in Drummondville in the late 1990s, the band carved out a place on the francophone rock scene with a blend of pop rock, a light punk streak and lyrics that turn everyday scenes into sharp, offbeat sketches. Fronted by singer-songwriter Simon Proulx, their songs rely on clear melodies, tight hooks and playful turns of phrase that work as well onstage as they do on record.

Live, the group keeps things lean and rhythmic: guitars with a pop bite, drums that drive, and choruses built for the room to sing along. The set winds through early staples from the Gros mammouth album (and its Turbo reissue) and Grand champion international de course, then moves into En beau country and J’aime ta grand-mère, before touching on the more recent Joie d’être gai, Beaucoup de plaisir and Présence d’esprit. Toujours les vacances frames this repertoire in a relaxed, sunny spirit without losing its edge, shifting from the mundane to the absurd with a steady groove and memorable choruses. A straightforward rock show with a wink, anchored in melody, timing and a taste for everyday poetry.
