🎸 HexaBones – Official Project Announcement

HexaBones, the first tAKiDA tribute project in France, was officially announced in Montpellier (34) on September 23, 2025.

🎸 Style: Hard Rock, Rock and Pop, with an alternative rock sound inspired by the Scandinavian rock scene.

We are currently looking for a guitarist. A 26-track setlist has already been defined and can be adapted according to the artistic direction of the project.

🌐 The official website is online: hexabones.fr

📱 Follow HexaBones on social media: @hexabonesofficiel on Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

🎤 The goal is to develop regular rehearsals in Montpellier and perform live in rock bars, SMAC venues and tribute festivals.

Since tAKiDA is still relatively little known in France, HexaBones aims to introduce their music to a wider French audience, with plans to record an EP and a double album.

What does HexaBones mean?

“If an idea does not at first seem absurd, then there is no hope it will ever become something.”

HexaBones is a name with many meanings.

A nod to the Hexagon — France, with its familiar shape, its contradictions, its energy and its passion.

There is also a discreet echo of Renaud and of those artists who use simple words to express what hurts beneath the surface and what we would like to change.

And then there is another, quieter meaning: a thought for those who are too often forgotten at the bottom of staircases, outside venues and on poorly designed streets.

Since 2005, the promise of accessibility has existed… but sometimes the ramp is still missing.

I also like the image of a six-sided wheel: a hexagon trying to keep its balance.

You never know whether it will move forward, backward… or suddenly crush your foot.

A little like life with a disability: you think you're moving forward and then — BAM!

A 10-centimetre curb. Backwards again.

Not because we lack motivation. Simply because there is always another obstacle.

Sometimes there is a bone. Literally, metaphorically, in the ground, in the system, everywhere.

HexaBones is about making music accessible to everyone and creating a project where everyone has a place, while keeping a thought for those whose voices are not heard often enough.

No lessons. No pretence. Just guitars, stories, imperfections and choruses that hit like evidence.

Through the Flames
the story of Gillou

Music is often said to have the power to heal — to transcend the limits of body and mind. For me, that is not simply a poetic idea. It is my reality.

In 1989, an accident left me a C5-C6 quadriplegic. From that moment on, many people might have expected me to turn away from my dreams. Instead, my passion for music became stronger than ever.

Karaoke nights, singing lessons, theatre and comedy shows with “Cha et Gillou se marrent” — every performance and every improvised moment felt like home. The stage became my natural environment.

Where others saw limitations, I saw challenges. Where some held back, I moved forward — driven by something stronger than fear: a love for music that refused to disappear.

I have drawn strength from artists who dare to embrace vulnerability, including tAKiDA.

Through every melody, I found the courage to keep pushing forward.

• To breathe.
• To sing.
• To feel.
• To fight.

Music is no longer just a passion — it is my declaration of existence.
