The band Formerly Known as SacreBleu!

Tuesday Night Agathe, Benjamin and I played guitar on a radio show for our campus radio station, 99.9 Wired FM.

Agathe and our friend Jonathan have a 30 min radio show about french music on tuesday evenings at half five. So this week we decided to do live music.

After polling our friends for a name for a group, Juan from Spain decided on the title SacreBleu. We then had the idea to keep the number of people who knew it was us to be playing on Tuesday to a minimum, and thus we fabricated a story about how the band was an up and coming group from France. We told the majority of our friends to tune into Agathe's radio show on tuesday to check out this new band who would be reallt great.

To fill time on the show Agathe and I had written a short history of the band, how we met etc. so Jonathan could interview us on the air. Jonathan announced over the air that Agathe could not be present for the show that day as she was on the road seraching for new music, leaving her free to play the part of Girly from SacreBleu. The band members were Curly (myself) , Girly (Agathe), and Gotee [goaty] (Ben) *Ben has a large black gotee.

We played a four song set beginning with two well known French songs sung in French, Champs Elysees and Aicha.
Then two popular modern french songs sung in English, New Soul by Yael Naïm and On my Way by Cocoon.

Our plan worked fine except for no one really listens to our school radio station anyway, so it was more for or own fun, but also we actually had intentions to be a real 'band' afterwards.

However the following morning we were struck with terrible news, and really just lack of research on our part, but it turns out there are already several bands named SacreBleu or Sacre Bleu, so alas, our band dissolved.

We are tenatively reformed under the name by Jove! which is a loose translation of Sacrebleu into english. We went to a local open mic night at white house pub to see if it would be worth playing sometime. It was there we realized we needed our own music. Luckily, Agathe to the rescue, Agathe has a brilliant mastery of language and poetry. So we took some of her poetry and lyrics she had previously written and put them to tune for the first time. We now have one original song ready to play (ready in a loose sense of the word) called Williamites.
