Legs

About Me



Legs is a rock (it means folk & punk vision of melodic rhytm'n blues) band founded in Paris in 2008.
Original compositions for a minimal line-up, lyrics only in english.
Guitar, Bass, sometimes Keyboards or machines on a few songs.
Possibly playing with a drummer, let's say the exact middle between Mo and Max.

Rémi : I live in Paris. My "other" and "older" music band (electro) is called Electromenager :
Gwen, Macdara and me.
I released a lot of tracks (vinyle, CD compilations) with this band, since 2000.
I'm also DJ, and artistic director of a label called "date".
