Thursday Live Sessions – Bande À Part
Thursday Live Sessions continue with a Bande À Part concert on Thursday 18 June 2026 at 8.30 pm in Espace Indigo of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco.
The most important quality of a cover version is to break away from the original and transcend it. Bande à Part plays on multiple registers, combining humour, energy and technical mastery with an uninhibited and terribly refreshing freedom.
The trio, originally from Ajaccio, is known for its cover versions and lively live performances. Alexandre, aka Benny Love, the singer and guitarist; Christian, aka Danny Vargas, the drummer; and Xavier, aka Tuco Toreraz, the bassist – friends for 25 years – formed the band in 2009 (following an earlier project called Blague à Part). Although Tuco is now often replaced on stage by Antonin, aka Lino Rover, he contributed to the band’s latest surprise album.
