Les Jupes

Les Jupes are a four-piece rock band from Winnipeg, Canada. Dynamic, tightly arranged, slightly frantic and combining the collective talents of four of Winnipeg's most adventurous songwriters into a fireball of energy circling in on itself, trying to eat its own tail.
Soundscapes and songs about long-dead Russian prime ministers, ghosts, spiritual rebellion, your brother, and broken promises. Raise your flutes. Raise your lyres. These are Les Jupes.
Each one of these guys has already put out records and toured as solo artists. Patrick has been writing songs to the ENTIRE Michael Ondaatje poetry book "The Collected Works of Billy The Kid". Mike started up some hairbrained project called the Record Of The Week Club and also plays in The Liptonians. Ian's got a rad new solo record coming out too. They're all trying to make their lives as impossibly busy as possible. What the hell else are they supposed to do? They live in Winnipeg after all. Its in the water.
Oh yeah, and they're recording their debut album in 2009 with their friend Marcus Paquin. He lives in Montreal. He's really really tall. He's worked with The Arcade Fire, Stars, Torngat, Dr. No and more. And he plays in a fantastic new band called Silver Starling.
