Noir Desir

[yertle-the-turtle]

France's greatest rock band, and now, with youtube, I can share some of the love.

Some of my favourites:

'Le Vent Nous Portera'

THE best song to listen to on a sunny afternoon. Featuring the great Manu Chao as well.

'Aux Sombres Heros de L'amer'

Haunting number with some lovely harmonica on it.

'Ici Paris (live)'

Heavy, growly, shouty rock. Good stuff.

I know this band! In French class, we would watch taped segments of French MTV (or some equivalent), and we watched one of their videos. I can't believe I still remember their name.

Now that I watch the videos, I'm certain we saw "Aux Sombres Heros de L'amer." I really like it, along with "Le Vent Nous Portera." Thanks so much for posting about this band, yertle. I wonder if I can even find one of their albums here...
