Frou Frou

The song 'Let Go' by Frou Frou has caught the imagination of thousands of movie goers after seeing Garden State. What the band has to say about their name:

“In the Folies Bergeres when the women were dancing ‘frou frou’ was meant to be the sound of the swishing skirt,” explains Guy. “There’s meant to be a poem of Baudelaire’s where he’d taken opium and was tripping out on the skirts swishing and getting delirious, and there’s this old French song called Frou Frou which is the sound that drives men mad. And I suppose when I was getting this together with Imogen, not just because she’s a girl, but I was conscious of there being a kind of femininity to things. The delirious guy looking at the women is probably like I am, listening to them singing down the microphone.”

The Music - 'Breakin'

A fantastic band that defies categorization. The BBC describes them as "rock music you want to leap about and dance to minus any cynical crossover contrivance".
