Biography

Formed by multi instrumentalists Xavier Boyer, Médéric Gontier, Sylvain Marchand & Pedro Resende, Tahiti 80's adventure began in the French cities of Rouen and Paris in the mid '90s. Taking their name from a souvenir T-shirt given to Boyer's father in 1980, Tahiti 80 - with the additions of Raphaël Léger on drums and Hadrien Grange on keys - has released 9 acclaimed albums. Their full-length debut, @Puzzle , went gold and featured the international hit "Heartbeat"which established the band throughout Europe and Asia. The band has fused what MOJO called a "glorious entente of old and new technology" (including singles like Easy, 1000 Times, Hurts, Crush!, and Big Day.), while collaborating with Richard Swift, Andy Chase, Tore Johansson. Wallpaper For The Soul, Fosbury, @Activity Center, The Past, The Present & The Possible, Ballroom, The Sunshine Beat, Vol. 1, @Fear of an Acoustic Planet were all journeys through pop music through the prism of Tahiti 80. In 2020, Tahiti 80 had a plan to start recording their new album in the studio. That plan, of course, along with everything else in the world, got derailed. But the five-piece group was resilient and resourceful and released in 2022 the buoyant Here With You, a collection of eleven upbeat songs that unfold like a prescription for a post-pandemic panacea, quickly followed by Lipstick Stains EP.
