Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Bouton Rouge started in November 2004 as an entertaining rock/blues/jazz band playing in bars and animating private parties. Quickly the holy mission of Bouton Rouge got defined and members found their "raison d'être": song writing and composing. This happened when co-founding member Bassel joined effort with the other co-founding member Rony to start writing, composing, recording and producing their own songs.
In 2005, new blood incarnated in drummer Ramsey and bassist Nohad joined the adventure believing in the potential of Bouton Rouge.
In late 2005 - early 2006, 11 songs were ready to be recorded, Bouton Rouge recorded "Plein de trous" (the title which was suggested later after the recording sessions) in a record number of 5 sessions in about 6 months.
Bouton Rouge now under its present form is still oriented towards song writing and composing and is still having gigs in bars and festivals.
