Pyromanes

BB Brunes (French pronunciation: [be be bʁyn]) is a French pop rock band. In 2000, Adrien Gallo, Karim Réveillé and Raphaël Delorme, childhood friends, formed the band "Hangover" with songs exclusively in English. Some years later, Raphaël left the band while they were negociating their first contract. Félix Hemmen, who enjoyed their music, joined the band’s lineup followed by bassist Bérald Crambes in 2007. In 2005 they participated in the Emergenza music festival in Paris and were able to reach the final. The band took on the name BB Brunes, inspired by Serge Gainsbourg’s “Initials B.B.” and by Paris's boulevard Brune, where the band’s rehearsals then took place. Their musical influences are punk and rock artists from the 1960s and 1970s as well as current bands such as The Strokes, Amy Winehouse, The Clash, David Bowie, Ray Charles and singers like Serge Gainsbourg, Jacques Dutronc, Herbert Léonard, etc. Their lyrics are mostly in French. In 2009, the group won a Victoires de la musique in the category 'Stage band revelation of the year'. They went on hiatus in 2014, Gallo released his debut solo album that year and they reunited in 2017 when they released their fourth studio album, Puzzle.
