J’etaime
Serge & Destroy re-create the sleazy sophistication of French singer/songwriter and provocateur Serge Gainsbourg – an incorrigible debaucher with a voracious appetite for alcohol, cigarettes and women.
The band plays French pop of the 60s and 70s and their repertoire includes Gainsbourg’s notoriously sexy “Je t’aime moi non plus” (written for Brigitte Bardot) as well as other classics of French chanson such as the duets ‘Bonnie & Clyde’ and ‘Ford Mustang’.
Fronted by Tim Best and the gorgeous Antoinette Dillon the other members of Serge & Destroy are:
Jen Hawley on guitar (Great Chefs of Europe and The Clares);
Paul Richards on drums (New World Soul, Bitchy Boy, Kelly Auty);
Steven J. Lindsay on keyboards (Barefoot, Club Tropical, Kalide Kaliba); and
David Krycer on bass guitar (Klezmania).
Serge & Destroy’s penchant for sartorial style and humour have earned them a unique place in Melbourne’s music scene and the band has a devoted following having performed monthly residencies at the Black Cat in Brunswick Street and the city’s Kitten Club. Although the songs are performed entirely in French there is no need for translation – just light up another Gitane and order a Pernod – c’est bon!
