Le Villejuif Underground

Nathan Roche is a poet and musician from Townsville, Australia. He is now based in France - Villejuif in the south-eastern suburb of Paris to be precise - and formed a new band with local musicians, aptly called LE VILLEJUIF UNDERGROUND. Roche is a versatile artist and his music brings to minds Lou Reed, Kevin Ayers or early Brian Eno. It does not sound pretentious or uptight. On the contratry, there is a loose and warm feeling to most of his songs.
