Les Hurlements d'Léo is an alternative rock band from Bordeaux in France. Currently an eight-piece, they have been influenced by the likes of Les Négresses Vertes and combine traditional French sounds (complete with accordion) with sounds of gypsy, Latin, ska, punk and energetic rock.
History
- The story began in Bordeaux in 1995, where a band of 4 friends pillaged bars and stages there. The group constantly evolved until it stabilized at its current membership. The group then toured festivals throughout France (Bourges, La Rochelle, Rennes).
- In 1998, HDL recorded their first album, Le café des jours heureux.
- Meeting Les Ogres de Barback led to buying a big tent, "Latcho Drom", which travelled the roads of France and elsewhere.
- In 2000, HDL finished up their second album La belle affaire.
- In 2001, HDL and the Ogres united for a tour, which give birth to the famous album Live.
- At the start of 2003, their third album, Ouest terne, was released, and the group set out again, this time in the company of the Germans 17 Hippies.
- At the start of 2004, this Franco-German collaboration recorded a 6-track EP, Hardcore Trobadors.
- In 2005, HDL released a live album of their last tour.
- On 13 March 2006, they released the album Temps suspendu.
- On 20 April 2009, they released a double album 13 ans de caravaning, a combined "best of" and unreleased tracks.
