Music like Kain

Kaïn is a folk rock group from Drummondville, Quebec, Canada. The group of four is made up of Steve Veilleux (vocals, electric and acoustic guitar), Yanick Blanchette (drums and vocals), Patrick Lemieux (electric and acoustic guitar, banjo, harmonica and vocals) and Éric Maheu (bass guitar). Their style is a blend of rock and roll with Quebec folk music.

The group formed in 1999. The founding members were Veilleux, Planchette, Lemieux and guitarist Pascal Tessier. They first signed a contract with Les Disques Passeport in 2003. They released their first album, Pop Culture, in 2004 from the recording company Les Disques Passeport, a small company in Montreal, Quebec.

The band's second album, Nulle part ailleurs, was released in 2005. Tessier left the band at about this time and bassist Éric Maheu joined. The album spent over 100 weeks in the top twenty in the francophone top 100 chart.
