notes

excerpt from the Los Angeles Weekly - -Libby Molyneaux

Les French - why are they so very très enchanté ?Je ne sais pas , but ici est un spirited sept -member ensemble from l'arrondisement known as Brooklyn (pronounced "Bruke-leen"), which we couldn't locate on a map but must be the Silver Lake of Paris, judging by the band's mismatched old clothes and smoky aura that's both alluring and repulsive. Named for the "ill-clad and ill-equipped volunteers of the French Revolutionary army," Les Sans Culottes (meaning "without underpants") take on the '60s French pop sound of Serge Gainsbourg and add arrangements à la the 5th Dimension to ridiculously groovy effect.

San Diego

The love-child of Serge Gainsbourg and Combustible Edison, Les Sans Culottes delivers a cheeky homage to '60s-era French pop replete with clever lyrics, ridiculous aliases and spot-on vocals and instrumentation that could've been lifted from the "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" soundtrack.
The band's upcoming CD... was produced by local hitmaker Mike Andrews (of Gary Jules/"Donnie Darko"/"Mad World" fame).
