French anti-folk quartet Les Ogres de Barback are comprised of the four Burguière siblings: singer/accordionist/guitarist Fred, violinist/trumpeter Sam, cellist/double bassist Alice, and her twin, pianist/reedist Mathilde. Fred and Sam first collaborated in 1992 as members of the alternative rock group Les Minoritaires. After the band split, the brothers continued playing as a duo, largely abandoning their guitars in favor of accordion and violin. With the 1994 additions of Alice and Mathilde, the Burguières officially launched Les Ogres de Barback, channeling influences ranging from the French chanson tradition to Eastern European folk to post-punk. After several recordings beginning in 1997, they scored their biggest hit to date with 2004's concept album Terrain Vague. The live Avril et Vous appeared in 2006. ~ Jason Ankeny
