Formed by multi instrumentalists Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand & Pedro Resende, Tahiti 80’s adventure began in the French cities of Rouen and Paris in the mid ‘90s. Taking their name from a souvenir T-shirt given to Boyer’s father in 1980, Tahiti 80 – with the additions of Raphaël Léger on drums and Hadrien Grange on keys - has released 8 acclaimed albums. Their full-length debut Puzzle,went gold and featured the international hit “Heartbeat” that established the band throughout Europe and Asia. The band has fused what MOJO called a “glorious entente of old and new technology” (including singles like Easy, 1000 Times, Hurts, Crush!, and Big Day,), while collaborating with Richard Swift, Andy Chase, Richard Hewson, Tore Johansson. In 2019, the band released Fear of an Acoustic Planet, a stripped-down reimagining of their best-loved tracks from the previous 20 years. In 2020, Tahiti 80 recorded new material: new single "Hot" will be out on November 26th, 2021.
