Does anyone know anything about them? I know they last reunited near the beginning of the millenium, have they done anything since then? Or what about members on their own?

In 2012, three members (guitarist Pascal Jordan, drummer Francis Poulet and organist Michel Grandet) have created Robber's Soul, a rock'n'roll band covering the Rolling Stones, Creedance Clearwater Revival and that kind of music:

Here's a link to an interview of Francis Poulet by the French TV channel France 3 (all in French): http://france3-regions.francetvinfo.fr/centre/loiret/le-journal-de-la-semaine-du-lundi-12-au-dimanche-18-janvier-1976-902067.html |

Interesting thanks. What about Dominique LeGuennec? He seemed like a centrepiece to them. He's retired now?

I'll chime in here to say that Le Petite Violon is the pick of the bunch, but the only other LP's I have of theirs is this and 'Grimaces'. Both I've enjoyed over the years, (and still do) but when it come to French Prog, Ange is my pick (maybe equal with Magma).

Ange and Mona Lisa are my joint favourites, Magma a close third.

Thanks! Looking for any info regarding their frontman if anyone has any. Don't even know why I'm fascinated by him-them so much, it's not like I understand any of the lyrics. Tunes are awesome though

About other members, I have no ideas or informations about their current activities (I must add that I never made any search about this band, never even having listened to any song from them!) |
