Fills Monkey

Fills Monkey, the duo of virtuoso drummers, returns to the Olympia for a performance where electro meets percussion in a unique and captivating show.

Fills Monkey is the story of Yann Coste and Sébastien Rambaud, two drummers who managed to transform their instrument into a full orchestra. Since their meeting, they have developed an original concept where the drum kit is no longer mere accompaniment, but the beating heart of a complete show. Their journey is marked by diverse collaborations and noted performances, which forged their reputation as bold sonic creators. They notably explored the boundaries between music and the visual, integrating elements of juggling and choreography into their performances, which clearly distinguishes them in today's musical landscape.

Their musical style, often described as electro-percussive, is an intelligent and energetic fusion. They use a multitude of elements, from electronic pads to acoustic barrels, to create rich and dynamic sonic landscapes. Their compositions are often built around complex and engaging rhythms, where one perceives influences ranging from rock to electronic music, through jazz. This approach allows them to offer a varied repertoire, capable of surprising and delighting a broad audience, well beyond drum enthusiasts alone. Their technical mastery is undeniable, but it's their ability to put it at the service of playful and inventive artistic expression that makes all the difference.

On stage, Fills Monkey is reputed for contagious energy and interaction with the audience. Their shows are designed as genuine sonic and visual journeys, where humor and virtuosity meet. Each strike, each movement is choreographed with precision, transforming the concert into an immersive experience. The Olympia, a mythical venue inaugurated in 1893, is an ideal setting to host their performance. Its history and acoustics reinforce the impact of their music, offering particular resonance to their creations. This Paris stop is an opportunity to discover or rediscover the ingenuity of Fills Monkey, a duo that continues to push the boundaries of instrumental performance and stage expression.
