Biography
The band was founded in 1981 by brothers (born 1972) and Guillaume Ledoux (born 1970), their cousin Anne-Sophie Bolender (born 1970) who provided vocals, along with their friend Franck Leblanc (born 1970). Their early talent attracted the attention of agent Bernard Batzen, which led to their appearance at the 1983 Printemps de Bourges festival, where they performed between the ages of 11 and 13. They served as opening acts for groups such as The Gun Club and The Clash, embarked on a tour in Canada, and played at the inaugural concert of the Zénith Paris in 1984, performing before then-President François Mitterrand.
Their body of work includes five singles—highlighted by their most successful track Je suis mort and a rendition of France Gall's Sucettes—as well as a self-titled album released in 1988.
Following the tragic death of Franck Leblanc in a car accident at age 18 in 1988, the group disbanded that same year. Subsequently, the Ledoux brothers went on to create the band Blankass in 1991.
