La brune et moi

If you like french new wave from 1980, don't miss La Brune Et Moi, there are a lot of these french groups more or less well known : Marquis de Sade, Edith Nylon, les Lou's, les Privés (excellent), Ici Paris (who are coming back since a few years with the wonderful daughter of the former singer Anicée Alvina with a great five titles record, have a look at their clips on youtube) and others.

The group I prefer are The Dogs from Rouen, dealing with American electric rock since 1973. The first part of their career was very electric and energetic and when they recorded with a new line-up in 1978,they got less electric, but we can still hear some furious titles like "Nineteen" or "Poisoned Town". And in that movie, we can see and hear "Algomania", a version much more furious than on the lp and brilliantly shot. Essential. Some unpublished furious electric Dogs titles from their early career could get released one day, but we're still waiting for the man : "unpublished Dogs? yes, there's sound" said one of their first manager. Come on now, action.
