The band's name comes from the word used in Quebec for wet snow. It is an English word, 'slush', but is written so as to sound the same in French.[2]
History
Sloche was formed in about 1971. The band went through a number of personnel changes before recording their first album, J'Un Oeil, in 1975.[3] The tracks received some radio play in parts of Quebec.[4]
In 1976 the band released their second and final album, Stadaconé; the sound was a mixture of rock and funk.[5][6]
In 2009 the two albums were remastered and re-released.[7]

gollark: Someone already *realized* the sheer value of lace.
gollark: The obvious explanation is (anti)memetics.
