Who are Les BOF! ?
Taking the likes of Jacques Dutronc and Ronnie Bird as a rough starting point, Les BOF! play raw R’n’B and Garage Beat with a French bent. Formed in early 2006 by two members of The Thanes, they set about finding the perfect front man with a handle on the language.
‘BOF!’ literally translates as `don’t care!' or `not interested!' but do not see there a group for which one would not have to be interested, but rather a group universally rejected by the established order - a situation, we are sure, you all know too well and with which you can only sympathize.
The band now play regularly at the Suite 69 club in their home town of Edinburgh, a club almost tailor made for them, playing exclusively French 60’s Ye-ye and beat music.
Their first EP appeared on vinyl on the CopaseDisques label and featured covers of Benny Spellman’s “Fortune Teller”, Them’s “I Can Only Give You Everything” and Bobby Parker’s “Watch Your Step” plus an original track and gives just a taste of their high octane live set.
First 4 titles 7" EP out now! 'LES BOF!' on copaseDisques. Available at any gig or online from the label web site:copasetic.de
The band can also be heard trying out their new material across Europe this Year. After the famous Primitive Festival last June as well as two successful gigs in Danmark and a show the Gutterball Fest in Oslo, the band will be playing in Spain for the first time. Check them out at the Purple WeekendFestival and there is more to comme...
