Roken is Dodelijk is a French group from Lille, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, comprising of Jay in Space, on guitar/bass Lena Deluxe on keys/tambourine, Guiguit on bass/harmonica, Nico on drums/glockenspiel and Foux du Fafa on guitar. Explaining their bizarre name: "Roken is Dodelijk". Maybe it’s from an iron will that nobody ever remember what to call them, it means "smoking is dangerous", that’s it.

Part 1 of the video is "The Story" followed in part 2 with "Where have you been". Trading in a rich humor based on in-jokes that only they understand, the Rokens know how to make themselves likeable. A cool impression of levity, of not giving a damn. French bands may come across as sad and somewhat brooding, blasé about everything, singing only about their teary-eyed despair but the Rokens have an energy and this pure joy that belies that belief.
