Chéri Chéri

Chéri Chéri is a family affair, well, chosen family that is. Formed two years ago on a warm Parisian night, frontwoman Celia Marie Chéri taped an audition poster inspired by School of Rock to a street pole near Notre-Dame, closed her eyes, and whispered a wish to the river Seine. The universe responded above and beyond her wildest expectations, bringing together a supergroup ready to redefine this generation of rock.

All five members are equals in sound and appearance - exuding an electric synergy when performing and recording live that leads the audience wanting more. They’ve become so close that now 3/5th of the band even lives in the same Parisian apartment building - songwriting and shenanigans spill between apartments like an episode of Friends. After writing, rehearsing, and performing night and day over the last year, Chéri Chéri has finally recorded their debut EP in Leeds with producer Gordon Raphael of The Strokes and is ready to share their voice with the world. Their sound recalls the structured riffs of Led Zeppelin, the punk poetry of Patti Smith, and that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ we could only hope for from a Franco-American band.
