Les Voleurs de Swing, a French group from Tours, formed in late 2005 with influences ranging from Gypsy jazz, Eastern European music, Balkan, hip-hop, and rock. The initial lineup included Gabriel Bonnin, Clément Royo, and Thomas (Vladimir) Lesigne. Their debut album Le Tour du monde en 80 manches was released in 2007, selling over 3,000 copies independently. In April 2008, Lesigne left the group, replaced by Youri on double bass. Subsequent albums include Anarchie en Syldavie (2009), Hôtel Molotov (2011), and Le Déconservatoire (2014). The band's success grew through extensive touring and collaborations with notable artists such as Sanseverino, Thomas Dutronc, Les Ogres de Barback, La Ruda, and Titi Robin.
