After years as a musical enemy number one of the town council of Marseilles, Laurent Mombel estimated that his talents were ignored and wrongfully punished. In exile in the United Kingdom, Laurent put himself about to find the musicians of Garage that were most endowed within their neighbourhoods - unfortunately they all were occupied and thus decided to make do with a few old tearaways met in the wild regions of Scotland (including two members of THE THANES)- Thus Les BOF! were formed and after that, a series of concerts left them in the not very enviable, but very unique, situation of premier garage rockers of French language in Great Britain. We love their raw 60's British Beat and Garage Rock with a French Twist, like the rogue offspring of Jacques Dutronc or Ronnie Bird. ‘BOF!’ literally translates as ..don’t care!' or ..not interested!' but do not see there a group for which one would not have to be interested, but rather a group universally rejected by the established order - a situation, we are sure, you all know too well and with which we can only sympathize. They also share their name with the initials of our festival! Vive Les Bof! Check them out, here!
