About Me


Rodolphe GUILLARD (bass guitar) and Renaud URCUN (Keyboards) met in 1994. Their First band, L'APOSTAT, influenced by Pink Floyd, lasted less than a year.
Their new band, MYRIADE, was formed in 1996 with the same guitar player but with a new singer (Lol) and a new drummer (Chris). They oriented their music to progressive rock. Nevertheless, this band lasted a short time too but there is still one material remaining, CONFIDENCE.
A few years later and after the in and outs of a few musicians, Arnaud DURIS joined Rodolphe & Renaud in February 2002. The name is at that time 'ALKOOLS'. Arnaud is the guitar player and also manipulates analog keyboards giving a more electronic touch to the music. This was our new direction...
Then in january 2004 Bernard THEPIN joined us with sticks in his pockets.
There came our new drummer !! He plays accoustic as well as electronic drums.
And there we are, ALCOOLS is complete.
Now we are recording a new album and will gig soon.
