Le Skeleton Band are Bruno Jacob, (bass, banjo), Salsky Jr (drums, guitar) and Alexandre Jacob (vocals, guitar). This seedy south of France trio play a brand of scratchy vaudeville gypsy blues earthier than Zach Condon’s romantic Gallic reveries, bashed out on acoustic guitars, melodica and pots and pans liberated from a local soup kitchen. Frontman Jacob is actually easier to understand when he sings in his native tongue than in the weird, heavily-accented English he adopts for the majority of their songs.
