Crocodiles

California duo Crocodiles returns to Paris to defend their indie rock tinged with noise and pop melodies. Expect an energetic and captivating evening at Point Éphémère.

Formed in 2008 in San Diego by Brandon Welchez (vocals, guitar) and Charles Rowell (guitar, bass), Crocodiles quickly established itself on the independent scene with a formula blending post-punk urgency, garage rock energy and addictive pop melodies. The band takes its name from a Jesus and Mary Chain song, an acknowledged influence found in their approach to feedback and abrasive guitars. Their debut album, "Summer of Hate" (2009), laid the groundwork for their sound, characterized by hypnotic bass lines and often dark but always melodic atmosphere.

Throughout their discography, Crocodiles has explored different facets of their musical identity while maintaining their sonic signature. Albums like "Sleep Forever" (2010) and "Endless Flowers" (2013) solidified their reputation, allowing them to tour extensively and share stages with major bands. Their emblematic songs, such as "Neon Jesus" or "Mirrors," perfectly illustrate their ability to create anthems both raw and catchy, often carried by Brandon Welchez's distinctive voice and the sonic textures of Charles Rowell. Their music balances noise experimentation and undeniable pop sensitivity, which earned them a loyal fanbase across the world.

Known for their intense and immersive stage performances, Crocodiles delivers powerful live shows where raw guitar energy mingles with charismatic stage presence. Each concert is an opportunity to rediscover the depth of their compositions and the strength of their interpretation. This appearance in Paris is an opportunity to see them perform in an intimate venue like Point Éphémère, conducive to connection between band and audience. It is a chance to experience authentic rock, where the heritage of independent rock is reinterpreted with contemporary freshness.
