François Pandolfi, known professionally as Frandol, born on November 27, 1964, in Granville, Manche, France, is a French singer, songwriter, and guitarist. At age 15, he founded the rock band Roadrunners in Évreux, serving as the lead singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter for their English-language music inspired by the Kinks and the Who. The group signed with Boucherie Productions, performed over 1,500 concerts across Europe and the United States, and released their final album, $ales Figures (1995), which featured French-language tracks and yielded the singles “L.A. Party” and “Macadam River”. After the group disbanded in 1996, he pursued a solo career, releasing the electronic and French-language albums Démodémodesmots (2000), Oulipop (2002), which yielded the singles “L'Un Contre L'Autre” and “Décomposition En Ré Mineur”, and Double Fond (2004). He subsequently founded the 1960s-inspired garage rock group Kitchenmen in 2008, releasing the album What's Cookin'? (2011), and formed the power-pop quintet François Premiers in 2017. In November 2025, Roadrunners temporarily reunited for a series of three concerts in Le Havre and Paris.
