Chinatown is a francophone pop rock band based in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

The story behind Chinatown is linked, not so much to the movie of the same name starring Jack Nicholson, but to the The Stills, an anglophone band from Montreal that contributed to the formation of the reputation of Montreal as a mecca of alternative music with the release of their first album in 2003, Logic Will Break Your Heart. Félix Dyotte, the guitarist, was in fact a member of the ska ancestors of The Stills, The Undercovers. Furthermore, it was Chinatown that wrote Retour à Vega, a song that serves as a financier to the band thanks to its song-writing money.

Félix Dyotte first joined Pierre-Alain Faucon (piano) and then Julien Manaud (guitar and vocals). Since then, the band has released two mini-albums: Mes Long Beach and a self-titled disc.^[1]
