about
Les Garçons Bouchers Formed in 1985 by François Hadji-Lazaro (also in Pigalle, Los Carayos and now a solo artist) and signed on his very own label (Boucherie Productions) they were the emblematic band of the label as well as one of the most renown of the mid to late 80's alternative french rock scene explosion. Mixing punk with chanson, the band refined its sound as time passed and the line-up changed. DISCOGRAPHY This first album is also the rawest of Les Garçons Bouchers' discography. As for the two following albums there is a drum machine doing the rhythm creating a unique sound together with the simple punk bass, the riffy guitar, the punk voice and the occasional horns thrown in the mix. The opening track, La Bière, soon became an audience's favourite and a great singalong. As for the rest of the album, there are a few punkified cover versions of know artists such as Viens (Charles Aznavour) or Marche de Ménilmontant (Maurice Chevalier) together with classics of their repertoire (Punkifiée, SKAGB, Fortes Têtes, etc...). Raw and cool! What are you waiting for? Oh, yes, there's plenty more to come! Tome 2, obviously, was their second album. Released about a year after their self-titled it shows a band evolving towards a more varied music (including a mock rap which became one of their better know song). Je Ne Regrette Rien is a cool cover of one of Edith Piaf's biggest hit while Rock'n Roll is a Gary Glitter cover with new lyrics by Mr Hadji-Lazaro. But that's not real
