History

Vian had gained some prominence as a guitar player[1] with Red Noise (which was associated with Ame Son); the band formed at the Sorbonne in 1968, and played its first show during the occupation of the university.[2] According to Vian, these were exciting times: he later commented that in Red Noise's early days, "their concerts wouldn't end until the cops came."[3]

The band released its only album, Sarcelles – Lochères, in 1970. The group broke up after being arrested in the Netherlands for possession of hash.[4] Given the revolutionary times, the band split rather appropriately into a socialist and a Trotskyist section, the latter of which continued under the name Komintern.[2]

Sarcelles – Lochères was released on LP in 1970, and re-released on CD by Futura Records in 1996.[5]

gollark: Oh yes.
gollark: What's "quantum-death"?
gollark: If you exist and perceive things, you clearly aren't dead, so you only observe worlds where things somehow resulted in you not being dead.
gollark: The fact that you exist means that (assuming there are in fact multiple universes in some way, via MWI or whatever) some universes are more likely (for you) than others.
gollark: It's annoying to explain, so hold on.
