Biography

Les Blousons Noirs, a short-lived French rock group from Bordeaux, emerged in the early 1960s. The band was composed of four anonymous members: Clod on lead guitar, Jo on rhythm guitar, Did on drums, and Sammy on vocals. They released two 45 rpm records in 1961, featuring covers such as "Depuis que ma môme" by Johnny Hallyday and "Hey Pony" by Les Chaussettes Noires. Their raw and unpolished sound, characterized by a guitarist repeating the same chord, a drummer lacking tempo, and a vocalist singing off-key, is considered a precursor to punk rock. The group's music was released under the Guilain label, with their 45 rpm record reissued in 2006 as an album titled Special Rock. This compilation was highlighted in Philippe Manœuvre’s book "Rock français, de Johnny à BB Brunes, 123 albums essentiels".
