Release Notes:
Led by Bordeaux-born Thomas Boulard, Luke (named after the
legendary Paul Newman film Cool Hand Luke) was a French
rock band that, from the late nineties onward, had great
success and were a formidable live act. Formed after
Boulard's time in previous band Spring had come to an end,
Luke convened in 1998, and went into the studio the
following year to work on demos. The resulting 7 track
offering was good enough to attract indie label attention,
and the band signed up with Le Village Vert. The original
line-up of the band (it would go through some pretty
drastic changes over the years) consisted of Boulard
(vocals), Stephane Bouvier (bass), Cyril Guillaneuf
(keyboards), Ludovic Morillon (drums), and Christophe
Plantier (guitars), and would record Luke's debut album,
La Vie Presque, in October of 2001. 2002 was a busy year
for the band, which saw three single releases, as well as
Boulard's preparations for the next album. The follow-up
had to be created without the services of three of Luke's
members, however, as Bouvier, Morillon, and Plantier had
decided to leave the fold. New members were recruited
(Damien Lefevre on bass and Romain Viallon on drums) and
recordings commenced on La TΩte En ArriΦre, which hit
shelves in April of 2004. The band embarked on a long tour
(with Bayrem Benamor taking up guitar duties) and made
appearances at many of the season's rock festivals. To
celebrate the success of their live shows, Luke released a
DVD from the tour, but was followed with the departure of
guitarist Benamor and Guillaneuf. Jean-Pierre Ensuque was
recruited, and after a break, Luke got back on the road,
and spent much of 2005 and 2006 there. The extensive
touring allowed Luke to write on the road, and when the
band entered the studio in 2007 to work on album number
three, the process was fairly speedy. The first single,
"La Terre Ferme," was released in June of that year, and
the album, Les Enfants de Saturne, followed in September.
Now officially a foursome, Luke embarked on yet another
tour, that was continued into 2008.
