The Les Clöchards

The show band „The Les Clöchards“ – that’s fife part-time hoboes bubbling with musicality, charm, folly, daring dance performances, facial and instrumental acrobatics, a drum kit made of trash, granny’s home organ, a dented metal guitar, a contrabass with holes in it and an outrageous dress sense when it comes to suits.

The band is originally from a small island close to Corsica. In 1949 the parttime hoboes left their French home country and declared their categorical will to succeed as a world-famous rock band. Is this really a true story? Well, we can at least safely say that they have not reached international fame so far.

So this is how the story continues: after several years as street musicians on boulevards in the South of France and selling an estimated 50,000 records, these five lousy boys exchanged the street for a stage and have already given countless concerts all over the world.

“No, this is by no means one of these bog standard cover bands. These boys have created their own myth with the intention of taking advantage of some of their favourite hits.”
