Les Maitres

The start of the band came with two members, Laurent Nicolle (voice) and (Maurice Maréchal (Bass) helped in the compositions by Etienne Charry (Oui-Oui) playing guitar and Michel Gondry, whom is not to introduce anymore, playing drums. Laurent, Etienne and Michel were then students at the applied arts school "Olivier de Serres". Two members came to complete the band, Laurent Gabriel and Paulus, the first one as drummer and the second one as bass player, making this band particular with two basses, drums and voice. The meeting occured naturally, in Olivier de Serres parties and also in the Gondry house, where friends were gathering in several bands: Tsé-Tsé where Maurince was singing, Vietnam Rafale made of Etienne, Michel and his brother François. The Gondry house was overall the place of birth of almost all musical projects of the team. The era was rich of wild concerts (squatts, YMCA, etc...) making meetings easy between young musicians. Les Maîtres recorded, in several sessions, all their tracks between 1981 and 1984. Nothing has ever been published then, whm the particular interest of this release compilating all the tracks recorded thirty years ago. This release has been made possible with the work of a little indie label, "Infrastition".
