Les Trois Accords

This is an example of a band that when you first hear them you ask "why aren't they more well known"? Les Trois Accords were formed back in 1997 in Quebec, Canada. For a good part of half a decade they released demos in and around their home province. Finally in 2003, their debut album, Gros Mammouth Album, came out. A year later it was re-released with two new songs. By September, 2005, they opened up for The Rolling Stones in New Brunswick to an audience of almost 85,000 people. A year later there was a second album, Grand Champion International De Course, and by this time everything had changed. They were no longer just this punk band but proved to be accepted into other genres. If you listen to Les Trois Accords music you can heard traces of indie, jazz, blues and even country. I your were to see them live you would also be treated to burlesque versions of song by Bryan Adams and Weezer. Two years later another record was released and so was fourth in 2009. The band in now touring around Canada and will make a few stops in Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
