French Cowboy 成立于2006年，前身是法国独立音乐界的翘楚级乐队The Little Rabbits,在乐队成立的15年中共发行了6张专辑，乐队解散后，主唱Federico Pellegrini开始寻求个人发展，组建了French Cowboy，并建立了自己的独立厂牌Havalina Records，并在接下来的三年间发行了3张专辑，今年的同名新专辑获得了法国媒体的大力追捧，包括法国的两大报纸媒体《费加罗报》和《世界报》都有推荐。 French Cowboy & The One是French Cowboy的现场名字，风格涵盖迪斯科朋克，另类民谣，摇滚乐甚至是drum & bass。时而以三人阵容演出，时而以二人阵容演出，乐队鼓手非常具有特点，演出中始终保持站立打鼓，这样的形式甚至在世界范围都堪称罕见。http://www.frenchcowboyandtheone.com/French Cowboy is like good pizza : no matter the topping - and there's a fair choice of them -, it's good. It all began in 1991 with The Little Rabbits, a milestone of french indie rock. Fifteen years and six albums later, the band splitted ... to regroup around Federico Pellegrini's (the leader / songwriter) new project : French Cowboy, and their own label : havalina records.Between 2007 and 2010, they released three albums under the name French Cowboy, listed below.Live, French Cowboy comes in different line ups (hence the pizza). French Cowboy itself, a.k.a. Federico Pellegrini (guitar, vocals), Stéphane Louvain (guitar, vocals), Gaëtan Chataigner (bass, vocals), Eric Pifeteau (drums, vocals).Lonesome French Cowboy, a.k.a. Federico Pellegrini all by himself.French Cowboy trio, a.k.a. Federico Pellegrini, Rubin Steiner and Caroline.French Cowboy & The One started as another live version of French Cowboy. It's a duet (Federico Pellegrini and drummer Éric Pifeteau) playing some sort of garage disco punk, with a lot of fuzz guitars, drums, loops, claps, delays and voices stacked on one another.One of the best description of what french Cowboy & The One is on stage comes from french music blog Green Cats Babies : "The more French Cowboy reduces its staff, the more its intensity explodes. Remarquable fact : French Cowboy now uses a Gibson SG to make the distorsions scream. A fat sound we didn't know he had but it furiously answers to the crazy rythmics by The One, ditched as well from swing, rock'n'roll, techno or other drum'n'bass follies, and pop. French Cowboy & The One is brilliant fun."The pleasure the musicians (and the audiences !) had with this new thing lead quite naturally to an album, recorded by long time friend Jim Waters in Tucson, AZ and to be released on april 29th 2013.
