THE GROUP
Lulled by song, bottle-fed on rock and nourished by world music, these Parisians, fans of partying, poetry and the dance floor, have been rocking the stages since 2008.
With over 1,000 concerts and 12 countries to their credit, LES YEUX DLA TETE offers music that is finely energetic and wildly sweet, festive and subtle, vintage and modern. The lyrics are polished, committed and edged with uncompromising humor, the melodies are beautiful, danceable and catchy... The talented sextet likes to indulge itself by making us feel good. On record, a delight, on stage, it's a feast!
They have been able to conquer and establish themselves in the musical landscape of France but also in Germany where they have achieved remarkable national success.
THE NEW ALBUM - LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL
Composed on the road during the last two years of touring, this album exudes the living, the live and the sharing, very specific to LES YEUX DLA TETE. Danceable pieces that will delight the biggest fans of the group for a feeling of being on stage together. Raw and contagious energy. Incisive, virtuoso and precise music to carry messages always full of hope ("it will be better tomorrow"), with a sharp and ironic look at a world in fusion ("fuck off"). LES YEUX also always know how to make social messages resonate ("no means no" - on consent or "I don't like people" on the difficulties of social ties..). We also discover more intimate pieces, on the fatherhood to come ("when you open your eyes") or on this much neglected virtue: "only love". And always, with delicacy and lightness, this crazy desire to enjoy the moment, the desires and pleasures of life, loved ones, experiences... ("life is beautiful" or "carpe diem".
Musically, the band remains faithful to its childhood loves: gypsy swing, world music, and the rock 'n' roll spirit. We sway, we mosh, we laugh, we cry, we happily get our heads and hearts moving...

THE STORY
Paris, Pigalle, 2008, at the foot of Montmartre, the story begins...
After a few months of touring concert cafés, streets, bars, and the Parisian metro, LES YEUX DLA TETE entered the studio for their first album DANSER SUR LES TOITS, which benefited from national distribution and a warm welcome upon its release. As the concerts went by, the public became more and more present, the professionals more and more curious... They were even spotted by a German booking agency, which has since opened the doors to a success across the Rhine that is only growing.
Album after album, LES YEUX DLA TETE continue their journey and their ascent, faithful to their original values of acoustic song while following contemporary, current desires. Thus we can hear some rock sounds on MADONES, the 2m album recorded in 2012, with the brass section of Babylon Circus. LIBERTÉ CHÉRIE, recorded in 2015 reveals some electro detours and MURCIELAGO (2019) ventures into world and Latin accents. Post Covid, the group evolves, one of the singers leaves for other adventures and the atmosphere gathers towards the youthful loves of French song and swing, always keeping the modernity of the latest sounds. BONNE NOUVELLE is released in 2021 and is a great success. Then in 2023 the group releases PARIS BERLIN, the live album long awaited by fans for years.
