FRENCH PUNK



....dedicated to Bekka, my roommate and the biggest francophile I know.

Pavillon 36 by Bérurier Noir

Amputé by Bérurier Noir

Bérurier Noir is a French punk band formed in Paris in 1983 by Loran (guitar), François (vocals) and Dédé (drum machine). They called themselves "noir" (black) for the color of mourning (because their first concert was planned to be also their last) and for anarchy and "Bérurier" after the character from the novels of Frédéric Dard. Instead of being an end, the success of their first show inspired them to continue. A cult band, Bérurier Noir were loved by a generation of youth and feared by concert organizers for the riots that followed their shows.
