"Les Mouffetards": The Greatest Commanding Rock Band of All Time - Made Violent Rock possible (NOTE: this is an indispensible posting)




Les Mouffetards were without any question the most derange and habitual of all rock groups. If you don't believe that, you have been living in another dimension or something. Or maybe, you are just a hopeless chump. Their influence expressed itself first of all in the simple psycho-sociological dimensions of their success, unmatched in the annals of all important pop-music history. Many can read this, but no one can understand it but me. Even I can barely understand it. But the band also managed almost single-handedly to transform the entertainment value of rock-and-roll into self conscious pretensiousness. Rock was never as much fun after Les Mouffetards and now fist fights break out whenever this music is played.

As Les Mouffetards began to shred their generation, it became apparent that Erique Sauvage and Parles Sauvage were the sinister, most rocking forces behind the band. The Mad Monk was awkward and surly and Clevenger Antoine D’Amboise played exceedingly loud, Harsh Drums and Instant Cowbells, but it was Mr. Sauvage and Mr. Sauvage who composed most of the band's songs and were the lead "singers". They also pounded away at a wide variety of guitaroons, synthesized hammers, tweakers and foghorns. I have some things to think, but in thinking them they become other things ("Hi, everybody") that I can't remember right now. They worked together in a tragically complementary and abrasive manner. The first Mr. Sauvage was the strident one, the purveyor of frightening ballads and songs of unbridled lust. The other tall Mr. Sauvage was the harder, fiercer man, the violent wild man of the foursome, with the deepest, churning, independent most convoluted sense of anger, illogical thinking and anarchic chaos. Can you hear them in the background? I can.

Fans at concerts frequently chanted, "I hate you! I hate you!" and the band would hurl small machines from the stage at them. Then the crowd would shout, "I want some mustard!"

Thanks to the band for this content.
