Having opened for artists such as Charlie Hunter, the Jimmy Swift Band, Groovy Aardvark, Soul Jazz Orchestra and Kermit Ruffins, les Païens have been perfected the blend of jazz and rock into a sound that is their own. Their influences : Miles Davis, Érik Truffaz, Tortoise, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Jagga Jazzist.

Les Païens distillent une musique instrumentale où de multiples influences se mêlent. Le jazz et le rock bien-sûr, mais aussi le funk et le dub. Leur dernier album Pyramyd : Épiphonde 3, qui clôt une trilogie baptisée « Épiphondes », marque 15 ans de complicité musicale entre les 4 membres du groupe et met plus que jamais en évidence leur plaisir de l’exploration musicale. Leurs influences : Miles Davis, Érik Truffaz, Tortoise, Medeski, Martin and Wood, Jagga Jazzist.
