.:: We are Enfant Terrible : electro, punk, rock with 8bit music ::.

We first met the Parisian band I Am Un Chien in 2007 in Lille (at the first LED Party) and the tons of alcohol we drunk that night didn’t stop us from having fond memories of their excellent live performance. In last december, we were really happy to share the stage with them at the Forum of Charleville Mézières (French Ardennes).

What’s your favourite dog breed?
David: black poodle
Doug: golden retriever
Baptiste: beauceron

I heard the name of your band comes from a song by the Pixies.
David: Yes. In Debaser’s chorus, Franck Black sings I am un chien Andalousia. We liked the sound of it and thought it was a good joke to pay a tribute to the Pixies by playing electro.

Tell me about your influences: electro, indie rock…?
David: Rock’n'roll, indie rock, the 90’s! We love At the Drive In, Rage against the Machine, Fu Manchu, Sloy, Primus… And more recently, Ratatat and ****!!!***

What do you like most about music?
D&D: Playing live / being on stage
C: What do you hate the most?
D&D: The wait before we get on stage

Now a controversial question! Do you mind if I talk about the brother of one of you, who plays in Stuck in the Sound?
D&D: Absolutely not!
C: Ok then, that’s over and done with.

What’s your goal with your music?
Da: We’d like to release a really good LP, but first we’ll work on a new EP. And we’d really like to play many lives over the next few months, years, and why not, over the next century!

Which track from your EP would you like our readers to listen to?
Da: Any track you want really. You & I is quite successful at the moment. We even have a videoclip I directed with our manager PezLo.
Cyril: Ok, I’ll upload the videoclip and another track on the website then. Unless I don’t like it!
