Têtes Raides
Têtes Raides is a French folk rock group. Group history The group was founded in Paris during the 1980s. Originally, they played music heavily influenced by the punk movement and depended on electric instruments. Their third album featured Anne-Gaëlle, a classically trained cellist, and marked a turning point in the group's music toward a more acoustic sound.

Listeners find the influence of classic French musicians like Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens and the Négresses Vertes in the later work. Group members * Christian Olivier : Voice, accordion, acoustic guitar, graphics * Grégoire Simon (a.k.a. "Iso") : Saxophone, flute, accordion, voice * Pascal Olivier (a.k.a.
