The Inspector Cluzo is a French rock group from Mont-de-Marsan formed in 2007.
The group is composed of Laurent "Malcolm" Lacrouts, on the guitar and vocals and Mathieu "Phil" Jourdain, on the drums.
The name of the group was proposed by their friend Angelo Moore, singer in the group Fishbone, and references the character "Inspector Clouseau" that appears in the Pink Panther movies.
The duo runs a 15 hectare organic family farm in Gascony called "LOU CASSE" ('the oak' in the Gascon language). The farm, which they bought in 2013, is self-sustaining.
On the farm they produce organic wheat and organic corn with their own free seeds, raise gray geese and other plants and animals.
While they consider farming their focus, they split their time between the farm and their work as musician-composers, spending six months on each.
The magazine "Les Inrockuptibles" called their style a fusion between funk rock and heavy metal, with a note that the band does not have a bass player.
Crossbeat also noted that the band's style is a fusion, at moments reminiscent of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin.
In 2011, an article about the Art Rock festival described the duo's style as being funk'n'roll, somewhere between the Red Hot Chili Peppers and AC/DC.
Their live performances are characterized as energetic, lively, accomplishing with just two musicians a large sound that transforms between blues-rock and hard-rock.
The duo sings in English.
