Hyperclean

Offbeat, provocative and reckless, this group will prove indispensable, if it isn't already, to fans of Philippe Katerine or Brigitte Fontaine. Created and led since 2001 by Frédéric Jean from Toulouse, a facetious songwriter with a theatrical background, Hyperclean released their first album of the same name in 2005 on the independent label Microbe, before being snapped up by Warner. But they've made a name for themselves above all with their crazy shows, spiced up with music described as "pop-trash", inspired by the Yéyés or the other groups to which their musicians belong.
