Dionysos (French band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dionysos is a French rock band formed in 1993 in Valence. The band consists of five members known as Babet, Guillaume, Mathias, Miky Biky and Rico. Mathias is the main songwriter and fronts the band. Their latest studio album is Monsters in Love. Their first release, Happening Songs, was entirely in English. In 1999 they released Haïku which brought the band in to the public eye, mainly thanks to the success of the single Coccinelle.

Almost all Dionysos songs evoke a surreal world, in part due to the influence of Tim Burton on the group. The song La Métamorphose de Mister Chat tells the story of a ladys' man transformed into a cat, and the story of the group's biggest hit (Song for Jedi) is encapsulated in the English chorus, "When I was a child, I was a Jedi".
