Fills Monkey

Fills Monkey, the duo of virtuoso drummers, returns to L'Olympia for a performance where electro meets percussion in a unique and captivating show.

Fills Monkey is the story of Yann Coste and Sébastien Rambaud, two drummers who have managed to transform their instrument into a veritable orchestra. Since meeting, they have developed an original concept where the drums are no longer just an accompaniment, but the beating heart of a complete show. Their journey is marked by diverse collaborations and notable performances, which have forged their reputation as audacious sound creators. They have notably explored the boundaries between music and visuals, integrating elements of juggling and choreography into their performances, which distinctly sets them apart in the current musical landscape.

Their musical style, often described as electro-percussive, is an intelligent and energetic fusion. They use a multitude of elements, from electronic pads to acoustic drums, to create rich and dynamic soundscapes. Their compositions are often built around complex and catchy rhythms, where influences ranging from rock to electronic music, via jazz, can be perceived. This approach allows them to offer a varied repertoire, capable of surprising and exciting a wide audience, far beyond just drum enthusiasts. Their technical mastery is undeniable, but it is their ability to put it at the service of playful and inventive artistic expression that makes all the difference.

On stage, Fills Monkey is renowned for its contagious energy and interaction with the audience. Their shows are designed as true sonic and visual journeys, where humour and virtuosity coexist. Every beat, every movement is precisely choreographed, transforming the concert into an immersive experience. L'Olympia, a legendary venue inaugurated in 1893, is an ideal setting to host their performance. Its history and acoustics enhance the impact of their music, offering a particular resonance to their creations. This stop in Paris is an opportunity to discover or rediscover the ingenuity of Fills Monkey, a duo that continues to push the boundaries of instrumental performance and stage expression.
