Les Yeux D'La Tête's musicians come from a wide variety of backgrounds: chanson, alternative rock, jazz, classical music, musette and Balkan folklore all feature in the musical patchwork offered by the group formed in Paris's Pigalle district in 2006. Singers and guitarists, Benoît Savard and Guillaume Jousselin play the capital's bars with saxophonist Eddy Lopez, bassist Seb Lawkyz and accordionist Antoine Allièse, replaced in 2016 by Eric Allard-Jacquin. Under the banner of the Fais et Ris association, after a year of concerts, the quintet recorded their first album, Danser Sur Les Toits, released in 2008. Double bassist Emilien Pottier and drummer Pierre Chatel (later replaced by ex-Yapa member Xavier Hamon) join them for a new tour featuring a host of opening acts. Winners of an award at Germany's Folkherbst festival in 2011, Les Yeux D'La Tête toured Europe, then recorded the Parisiennes EP and the Madones album (2012), featuring samples, electric guitars and analog keyboards. In 2014, the EP I Don't Speak English is released. After a new series of concerts, the band released their third album, Liberté Chérie, in 2016, which proved to be a great success, as it rocketed to the top of the best-seller charts.
