Bündock is a musical group originating from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, known for their activity mainly during the 1980s and for producing tracks in both French and English.
History
Established in 1979 in Grand-Mère, Quebec—which later became part of Shawinigan—Bündock moved to Montreal in 1983 and shifted to composing songs in English. Their 1986 EP Mauve featured "American Singer," a homage to Jim Morrison that achieved modest success by reaching #72 on the RPM100 chart. This EP also included "Come On (Baby Tonight)," a collaborative duet with Sass Jordan.
In 1988, Bündock's single "Season for Love" appeared on the RPM CanCon charts. That same year, they issued the album Société Anonyme and supported The Box on tour as an opening act. The album earned a nomination for the Prix Félix award in the English Album of the Year category. The band followed up with a French-language release titled Cinéma in 1989.
The group dissolved in 1989. Afterward, Marc Gendron pursued a career as a record producer and musical director for artists such as Natasha St-Pier and Cindy Bédard. Alain Roussel became a French teacher at École secondaire Monseigneur-Richard in Montreal, while Pierre Bundock took on the role of multimedia educator at Collège Édouard-Montpetit located in Longueuil.
On November 11, 2009, Bündock reunited to issue a Christmas-themed album called Joyeux Noël, which featured original band members alongside violinist Mara Tremblay, Marie Bernard, and Elle.
