Champollion – Festival Improbable
Concert
08 June 2025
Champollion is a post-punk rock band formed in 2012 in Antibes.
After various experiences in the late 1980s (notably with the Border Boys, a duo signed to Les Disques du Crépuscule and produced by Andy Paley [Ramones, Plastic Bertrand]), Champollion toured bars in the 1990s with his all-rock and blues combo before finally stepping behind the microphone to sing his vision of the world and arriving in the 21st century with the current post-punk style, with two albums to his credit.
The songs are mostly in French, with clear influences such as HF Thiéfaine, Rita Mitsouko, and La Mano Negra for French rock, and The Clash and The Undertones for English influences. The band loves interacting with the audience, and they reciprocate!
Festivals (Eze, Tende, Cip Rock), beautiful venues (Arts d’Azur-Le Broc, Laure Ecard-Nic), legendary local venues (Le Volume, La Hacienda, L’Oreille qui gratte, l’Althérax, Monster’s Art). Champollion also collaborates with the La Vida Music collective for the promotion of local groups and the Sonic Studio (sound recording, mixing).
