Eiffel
Humeau was a member of the band Oobik and the Pucks, that formed in 1995. It was after serious differences with their record label that the band reformed to become Eiffel in 1998. Eiffel saw success in France with their 2006 album Tandoori which peaked at 36 in the France Albums Top 150, spending 5 weeks on the charts. In 2009 Eiffel released À tout moment. They recorded the song Le Temps des cerises in collaboration with Serge Teyssot-Gay and Bertrand Cantat, from the group Noir Désir to promote the album's release. The album peaked at 16 on the France Albums Top 150. The group launched itself on a tour, starting 29 October 2009 in Saint-Étienne. Their most successful album Foule Monstre (2012) peaked at number 9 on the France Albums Top 150 and reached 78 on Swiss Albums Top 100. The Foule Monstre tour saw the band tour in France, Belgium and Switzerland. • Illustration — Romain Humeau in concert in Maignelay-Montigny June 2017.
