rdf:langString Bonjour Brumaire was a francophone indie pop band based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Its members were Youri Zaragoza (vocals, guitar), Nathan Howard (guitar, vocals), Francois Lessard (drums), Karine Novelle (keyboards, vocals), Béatrice Martin (keyboards, vocals), Patrick Brownson (keyboards, vocals), Mathieu Dumontier (bass guitar, vocals) and Jordan Larocque (bass guitar, vocals). Formed in January 2007, the band recorded its first demo with producer Ryan Battistuzzi (Malajube, Les Breastfeeders) only 3 months after the members first met. They played their first show in June and, in November, went into the studio for five months to record their album, De La Nature Des Foules. It was released on April 1, 2008, on Indica Records. The song Brooklyn premiered on the Anti-Hit List Podcast on April 19, 2008. After playing most summer festivals around Quebec in 2008 (Woodstock en Beauce, Osheaga Festival, Francofolies, and Festival d'Été de Québec) the band won the "Breakthrough artist" and "Indie pop album of the year" awards at the 2008 Gala de l'Alternative Musicale Indépendante du Québec (Quebec Indie Music Awards). The band posted photos of a 2009 European tour on its Facebook page, and commented that it would be producing another album, but appears to have broken up after that tour. As of 2021, the band's website was defunct; its last Facebook post was in 2010.
