The Inspector Cluzo is French ‘funk’n’roll’ duo Laurent Lacrouts and Mathieu Jourdain. Since forming in 2007, TIC have earned raves for their vibrant blend of rock, jazz, funk and soul music. Their self-titled debut LP, recorded in Belgium with renowned producer Stephan Kraemer, became sleeper hit selling 20,000 copies around the world, in part due to the infectious single, “Fuck the Bass Player.”
In 2009, TIC played 185 shows in 23 countries around the world, including the Fuji Rock festival in Japan, Springscream in Taiwan, and Eurockéeenes in France. Back in France, the duo recorded their second album, ‘The French Bastards,’ showcasing a richer, more developed sound in beautiful handmade packaging that reminds us that The Inspector Cluzo is a bona fide indie band, handling their own management, recording and booking through their own company, Ter a Terre. ‘The French Bastards’ will be released worldwide in April 2010, including releases in Europe, Japan , China and U.S.A (by Red/Sony). The Inspector Cluzo will then embark on a new worldwide tour, including their first visit to China , where they’ll play Beijing ’s Strawberry Festival, plus additional dates in Beijing , Tianjin , Wuhan, and Shanghai.
Don’t miss the China Tour of funkiest rock band in the world (or is it the hardest-rocking funk band in the world?).

The Inspector Cluzo由来自法国的放克摇滚兄弟Laurent Lacrouts和Mathieu Jourdain于2007年组建。首张同名专辑融合了摇滚、爵士、放克和灵魂音乐，在世界范围内悄然售出2万张。2009年，TIC在世界上超过23个国家表演了超过185场疯狂的演出，包括日本的富士摇滚音乐节、台湾的垦丁春呐音乐祭和法国的Eurockéeenes摇滚音乐节，其疯狂的行为包括时不时的摔鼓秀，到和可怜工作人员的斗牛表演，怪不得被很多人称为“音乐节最佳现场表演乐队”。
回到法国稍作休整，第二张专辑The French Bastards（澳大利亚媒体在看完他们的演出之后这么称呼他们）诞生了。这张在Mathieu比利时的厨房（后被命名为“厨房录音室”）里录制的专辑，融合了摇滚、爵士、放克和灵魂音乐，配上了上等的葡萄酒和香气扑鼻的鸭胸肉，更是加上了著名制作人Stephan Kraemer的绝妙混音。TIC是一支如此真诚而又独立的乐队，纯手工的专辑封套，台湾画家Chaos绘制的专辑封面，Fishbone乐队主脑Angelo Moore的隐藏彩蛋，乃至管理、录制唱片、预订演出，全由他们自己创建的公司包办。
The French Bastards将于2010年4月在世界范围内发行，首发地包括欧洲、日本、中国和美国（由Red/Sony发行）。随即而来的便是The Inspector Cluzo新一轮的世界巡演，其中就包括了他们在中国的处子之旅。其间，TIC不仅将在中国最酷的北京草莓音乐节奉献精彩演出，其足迹更将遍及北京、天津、武汉和上海。这支世界上摇滚圈最放克，放克界最摇滚的乐队，即将开展精彩而疯狂的中国巡演，不容错过！
