Mickey 3D

French pop group Mickey 3d's lead singer Mickey grew up loving rock & roll. Meeting drummer Jojo in the mid-'90s, the two formed Mickey 3d and started playing bars around southern France. Their debut album, Mistigri Tordure, hit the streets in 1999, with La Trêve following two years later. Their quirky and boisterous version of alternative rock earned them a loyal following in France. The attacks of September 11, 2001 and the fear that surrounded the world inspired their third album, Tu Vas Pas Mourir de Rire. The album won positive reviews in their homeland and raised the band's profile throughout Europe. ~ David Jeffries
