Noir Désir is a French rock band from Bordeaux. They were the most successful French rock band of the 1990s and early 2000s, having two albums certified double platinum and three certified gold in France. They have been an influence on numerous French musicians including Cali, Louise Attaque and Miossec. The band currently consists of Bertrand Cantat (vocals, guitar), Serge Teyssot-Gay (guitar), Jean-Paul Roy (bass guitar) and Denis Barthe (drums). Bertrand Cantat and Serge Teyssot-Gay met in 1980 at secondary school after Cantat moved to Bordeaux from his hometown in Normandy; Teyssot-Gay was 17 and Cantat was 16 at the time. The two teenagers shared a love of music, particularly Led Zeppelin, The Who, and AC/DC and so they decided to form a band. Teyssot-Gay had a strong musical background, with a decade of classical guitar training under his belt, however Cantat could not play any instrument at the time, and so became the singer for their band. They met Denis Barthe, during the summer vacation who shared a similar passion for music and he agreed to play drums for the band, although he had never played them before.
