2c:T493,French dance-pop group Yelle were founded in 2005 when Julie Budet (who took the stage name Yelle) and Jean-François Perrier (known as GrandMarnier) decided it was time to start a band. Their first single, "Je veux te voir" was posted on MySpace in 2005 and became a banger! After adding Tanguy Destable, also known as Tepr, the trio began work on its debut album. Pop Up was released in 2007. The band then spent time touring before work on its second album began. They also found time to work with Robyn and Crookers, and to remix Katy Perry's "Hot & Cold." After working virtually nonstop for two years on album number two, Safari Disco Club was released in the spring of 2011 on Recreation Center, their own label. On their third album, Yelle slimmed down to the duo of Budet and Perrier. Though it was a little more focused than previous efforts, 2014's Complètement Fou was still imbued with a fun-loving, anything-goes left-field pop outlook. Before 2020 and the release of their masterpiece album "L'Ere du Verseau", Yelle had time to drop a few exciting singles, "Romeo" for example. 2025 will be their 20th anniversary, is there something cooking?2d:T52d,Louisiana singer/songwriter Benjy Davis formed the Benjy Davis Project as a folk-rock duo in Baton Rouge in 2001. Originally, the group members were Davis and drummer Mic Capdevielle. Eventually, the outfit expanded into a six-piece with the addition of Anthony Rushing (violin, mandolin, vocals), Jonathan Lawhun (guitar, banjo), Brett Bolden (bass) (later replaced by Matt Rusnak), and Michael Galasso (harmonica, keyboards, vocals). The Benjy Davis Project built up a following while touring nationally as a support act to John Mayer, Better Than Ezra, and the North Mississippi Allstars, as well as playing such prominent local shows as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The group self-released its first album, More Than Local (April 20, 2002), and an EP, The Practice Sessions (May 4, 2004). Bogalusa issued their second full-length album, The Angie House, on September 27, 2005, and Real Records stepped in to handle their third, Dust, which appeared on September 18, 2007. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
