Les Trois Accords is a rock/pop band from Drummondville, Quebec. The band launched its first album Gros Mammouth Album in 2003 to a very receptive public. Some of the notable songs, taken from that album, are probably "Hawaïenne" and "Saskatchewan" and " Lucille". Along with their videos, these songs received heavy exposure in Quebec. In 2004, Gros Mammouth Album Turbo was released with two extra tracks, Loin d'ici and Turbo sympathique. In 2006, they released their second album entitled Grand Champion International de Course.

The band's most prominent show to-date was in September, 2005, when they were an opening act for The Rolling Stones in Moncton, New Brunswick. The concert drew an estimated 85,000 spectators.

Originally formed in 1997 by Olivier Benoit and Simon Proulx, the band's current formation is:

  • Olivier Benoit (composer, vocalist)
  • Pierre-Luc Boisvert (bass, joined in 2001)
  • Charles Dubreuil (drums and percussion; joined in 2001)
  • Alexandre Parr (guitars, vocals; joined in 1999)
  • Simon Proulx (vocalist, guitars)
