Les Sans Culottes is a French-language rock band from Brooklyn, New York. The group performs primarily original material and some covers of French rock songs and French-language reworkings of some classic American rock songs. Their name is a reference to the citizen soldiers of the French Revolution and also the more contemporary slang term for "no underpants."
