Polémil Bazaar

Polémil Bazar is a musical group of Quebec.

History

Since its beginnings in the small bars of the Old Capital in 1999, the group presented more than 300 concerts to Quebec and in France, making each time the demonstration of its inopportune and impetuous nature. The public and the press are intended besides to say " that one does not know Polémil completely as long as one did not see them on scene! ". And indeed, it is mainly by the scene that these six musicians forged their reputation of merry urban troubadours, sowing the festival and good mood everywhere on their passage.

During the year 2006, the group loses its double bass player, Thierry Gâteau. This one is effectively replaced by Alexis Dumais, but the adventure Polémil Bazar draws from the wing. With the great sadness of its many fans, the group announces his separation on March 14th, 2007. Each member will continue a musical career.
