Housse de Racket

"Winners of runs, losers in love" is the leitmotiv of Housse de Racket. It is first and foremost a smart, sport concept, a musical match between two childhood friends devoted to love and sport. Not sufficiently heavy weight to become high-level sportsmen, Pierre and Victor opted for high flying pop music. Goodbye loneliness and heartache, hello polos, rackets and guitars - because rackets are also instruments with strings. Flashmatchs
