Sometimes fate can be a great provider. Take a little bar in Poitiers, a chance meeting between three fans of pop & folk, and the band Meringue Alcohol and Us were born on an autumn evening in 2006.

Playful, the band swiftly decided to inject a whole battery of less conventional instruments into their traditional folk, like the xylophone or the mandolin, highlighting their gentle yet lively melodies, similar to the exemplary Holden or Cocorosie.

Chez Meringue Alcohol and Us, everybody sings , even if Amandine handles the lead vocal as well as playing the cello & the glockenspiel. As for the two boys , Bruce is on guitars & mandolin & Judicaël on guitars , ukelele & toy piano.

The sweetness of the meringue and the warmth of the alcohol: rarely has a band name better evoked their musical style. Excessive consumption of these exquisite little gateaux will most emphatically not, for once, damage your health.
