The Treacherous French

The Treacherous French are an eclectic rock band hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area. The songs they write are catchy yet complex, while staying true to their indie, blues, country, and alt-rock roots. All four members have played in various other bands in the past, from punk rock to folk rock to dance rock to Celtic jazz folk fusion, and this blend of styles and instrumentation is what makes The Treacherous French what it is.

The lineup consists of a group of four multi-instrumentalists from differing backgrounds and who like to add differing sounds to the songs. There are three guys (Phil, Olivier, and Charlie) and a girl (Cara). Charlie plays guitar (electric and acoustic), harmonica, mandolin, and sings. Cara plays drums, assorted percussion, and sings. Phil plays bass (electric and upright), ukulele, and sings. Olivier plays accordion and other keyed instruments, and really anything else the rest of the band puts in front of him.
