 Chiens d'mer |
I first met this band of French musicians at last years Sweeps, again in the POW.
Their music I suppose, could only be described as Nautical French Punk!
They played a mixture of French sea shanties with old classics like "The Wild Rover" and "The Drunken Sailor", all sang in French, thrown in for good measure.
A very talented and focused band - excellent! Going by the amount of cheering and clapping from the pub audience, a very entertaining band. I suppose the fact that I had seen them play before aided my enjoyment because I knew what to expect from chien d'mer, and I was not disappointed. They were GREAT! Last year I spent a night in the same digs as the band and had a great night in their company drinking beer, smoking Disque Bleu and chatting about their music. I can remember having breakfast with them the next morning. By breakfast I don't mean croissants, I mean a can or three of Belgium lager! This was at about 8 AM ! Cant wait to see them again at Rochester Sweeps 2007! Photos of the band can be found on www.tedcanthearya.homecall.co.uk/tedcant.htm |
