'Cochon Bleu is Holland's best-kept Cajun secret' - Music Magazines
(...) Cochon Bleu is a band with a good sense of what makes a song fun and great to listen to. They have an almost expert grasp on what makes a good zydeco-style song with a modern twist. The vocals and instrumentation all come together to create a wonderful sound that makes you want to get up and dance. This band proves that you don’t have to be from the backwoods of Louisiana to know how to create great Cajun/Americana music! - Amped Sounds

Bio
Fifteen years of honing their craft, playing hundreds of gigs and releasing six well-received albums have made Cochon Bleu into what they are today - one of Hollands most sparkling bands. Accordion, guitars, mandolin - in fact, anything with strings on it, plus vigorous singing are their weapons of choice, backed by a steadily pulsating rhythm section.
Anyone who witnesses one of their energetic performances, will know that having fun and a great sense of humour are important to these guys. This has already caused a sensation at many a festival like Folkwoods, EuroSonic, Noorderzon,
De Parade or Oerol, and as? well on reputed stages like Paradiso. But Cochon Bleu feel just as much at home in their small favourite hangout?? ?Café Marleen as on big mega size stages.
The group's CDs take you from the starting point of pure cajun covers Changez les Guitares to recent albums filled with ?well executed? originals like It's All Coming Good and Not Blue.
