The band was born in late 1985 on the ashes of underground acts
Tonton est mort and
Abject. They play a mix of 60's influenced rock and
funk with the addition of
brass instruments. The lyrics are resolutely humoristic and careless. In 1986, they started touring with then popular alternative French bands
Bérurier Noir,
Ludwig von 88,
Les Wampas and
Mano Negra and played on stage dressed as
cosmonauts. They gained an important success with their second album
Riches et célèbres (Rich and famous) that allowed them to play in some of
Paris's biggest
concert halls such as the
Olympia hall.
Reggae influences appear on the third album
Pied Orange (Orange foot) and a 4 tracks
EP is recorded in 1993 with the
raggamuffin artist
Saï Saï. The musicians decide to disband in 1994 after the promotion tour for the fourth album "4". Singer
Polo started a solo career. ==Band members==
