Timeless anthems, a sound as sharp as ever.
Formed in Paris in 1977 by four high-schoolers, Edith Nylon became the first band of the French New Wave. Mylène Khaski on vocals, Zaco Khaski and Laurent Perez on guitar and bass, Albert Tauby on drums: drawing on The Clash, Magazine and The Cure as much as Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, they signed to CBS in 1979 and sold out the Palace with their very first album.
The adventure carried on to London, at Wessex Studio, while The Clash were recording Sandinista in the room next door: Mick Jones dropped by to sing Johnny Johnny, and Topper Headon lent his percussion. In 1981, the band opened for Police at the Bataclan, ahead of the album Echo Bravo and one last French tour. Visionary lyrics, razor-sharp hooks, outspoken convictions: the Edith Nylon signature was set.
Reunited in 2019, the band reworked its classics and released La fin de la vie sauvage in late 2021, distributed by Believe. Trabendo, the Zénith de Nancy opening for Placebo, Retro C Trop, the Francofolies de La Rochelle: the stage keeps calling them back, carried by the spellbinding voice of Mylène Khaski covering Non, je ne regrette rien. A festival tour is on the way.
