Les Sans Culottes, Sorrows

French-by-way-of Brooklyn, Les Sans Culottes borrowed their name from the ill-clad (i.e., long-trousered) citizen-soldiers of the French Revolution. Inspired by French 1960’s ye-ye pop, their sound is equal parts Serge Gainsbourg, the Kinks, and 1960’s girl group pop. Their live shows are raucous, high energy, non-stop, go-go affairs. The band has released seven recordings: “Les Sans Culottes"; “The Ennui and the Ecstasy"; “Faux Realism"; Full Frontal Crudite- Live in Paris"; “Fixation Orale"; “Le Weekender"; and “Pataphysical Graffiti."
