The band's most prominent show to-date was in September, 2005, when they were an opening act for The Rolling Stones in Moncton, New Brunswick. The concert drew an estimated 85,000 spectators. That time as they finished up their set, one of them slyly asked the crowd not to leave the stadium because there was going to be some more good music later…
In 2006, they released their second 'official album' called Grand Champion International de Course, including Tout Nu Sur La Plage , Grand Champion and Youri. This record was in the top charts in Québec, selling over 50,000 copies.
Les Trois Accords toured also in France, Belgium and all over Canada since 2006.
In 2008 they released a CD/DVD special 'country' called En Beau Country including their best songs and three new ones. It was recorded unplugged, in front of families and fans.
Their latest album is called Dans Mon Corps and was released in october 2009.
Originally formed in 1997 by Olivier Benoit and Simon Proulx, the band's current formation is:
* Pierre-Luc Boisvert (bass/basse)
* Charles Dubreuil (drum/batterie)
* Alexandre Parr (guitars, vocals/guitare et backvocals)
* Simon Proulx (vocals, guitars/chanteur principal et guitare)

Les Trois Accords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Et tes souliers ne sont pas finis
Tu… tu vois de l'herbe drue… drue
Dans les fissures du pavé uni
Tu… tu regardes la cru… cru
D'une fontaine à très très haut débit
Toutes ces choses qui n'ont pas de fin
Toutes ces joies qui n'ont pas de prix
Toutes ces joies que tu ne m'as pas reprises
Tu… tu remarques plus
qu'à chaque coin un nouvel édifice
Tu… tu fais le pied de grue
Les yeux remplis par les feux d'artifice
The lyrics to Les Trois Accords's song Tu describe a person walking down the street, noticing small details that others might overlook. The singer observes that the person's shoes are not finished and they are looking at the weeds growing through the pavement. They also watch a fountain with water gushing out at a high rate. The singer reflects on the fact that there are so many things that have no end, with so many things that are kept for tomorrow. They also mention the joys that the other person did not take from them.
As the person continues to walk, they notice the new buildings erected at every corner. They stand and wait in anticipation for the fireworks and watch their eyes become filled with light. The song describes a person who takes note of the little things in life, finding joy in the present moment, and finding contentment in simple pleasures. Perhaps, the song's message is that we don't need to have everything that we want in life but finding happiness in small moments is just as significant.
