ABOUT

     Out of nowhere and everywhere, here come the Rhum Runners!

 

     These cosmopolitan jet-setters from the continent have been sampling the lo-ball beverages in airport lounges and burlesque parlors from Mexico City to Saigon, in order to serve you these refreshing exotic sounds.

 

     It’s all about the groove here - so get up! - Then get down with these six swinging sailors who will rock your boat and soak your throat with rum cocktails.

​

     Hosted by the prestigious label Doghouse & Bone, on which the band has released several LP's and SP's, the Rhum Runners keep rallying clubs and festivals around Europe, rocking crowds with flavor and over-proof spirit...

​

     Hop aboard !

     De nulle part et d’ailleurs, arrivent les Rhum Runners !


     Ces globe-trotteurs du Rock’n’Roll collectionnent les pépites sonores qu’ils vont chercher aux quatre coins du monde, bande-son technicolor de film de contrebande ou de strip-tease.
 

     Le décor : de Saïgon à Caracas, Islamabad
ou encore Trinidad...

 

     Entre la France et la Belgique, leurs ports d'attache, l'équipage se prépare à mettre les voiles pour la Russie, l'Italie, l'Angleterre, puis, le reste du monde.
    

     A terre, ils expérimentent de nouveaux cocktails,
ou enregistrent leurs aventures.

​

     Espoir à bord !
