Two boys, one girl. This is a very nice folk trio from Nantes, France, with an English female singer and two French guitar/ukulele players. Beautiful soft voice, good delightful songs. Great surprise. And I love the art cover of their album "We Could Be Pirates", as I enjoy origami. It was released 10 days ago on Waterhouse Records. They're now on tour in France and in Spain. Give the band support!

"Eux Autres". They kindly showed you on their website how to pronounce these two French words. There are a few amazing facts about them. I heard about this garage pop band from San Francisco in the past (maybe last year) when the American singer Anya Marina mentioned the band many times on Twitter and said how much she loves it (I discovered Anya, one of the numberless musicians, friends of Jason Mraz, when I was following him in 2006-2008). The beautiful Heather of Eux Autres and Anya Marina are actually very close friends, it's a small world! The members of this band are kind of special: the siblings and original members Heather and Nicholas, Yoshi from the bands The Aislers Set and Still Flyin’, and Ethan from the excellent band Math and Physics Club. By the way, Oliver told me that it was their first Paris show! He looked very excited and that made me smile and feel happy for him when he introduced the band to the audience by saying that Yoshi is the first musician he welcomed in his living room who played a session for the legendary John Peel since the beginning of the Oliver Peel Sessions, it was in 2001 in the band The Aislers Set. They played a great set with old and new songs from their last album "Broken Bow" released in November 2010 on Bons Mots Music. They are now touring in Italy. It would be great if they'll play in a Paris venue soon.

Very nice persons, give them support! ;-)
