EVARISTE

" Often regarded as the French Kim Fowley, Evariste is a well-kept secret needing to get out there NOW. Genius, creative and with a very poisoned language in the lyrics of his songs. A mix between ye ye, garage and hallucinated experimental rock. Evariste is probably one of the most interesting musicians from the French 60s rock scene, though maybe too weird to have really had that recognition from the public and media at the time! And Michel Colombier is involved in these recordings too! This first time ever reissue of his works includes his complete discography, thats two Eps and one single. Remastered sound, and limited to 500 copies. "
A portuguese label (no smoke records) released this LP a few days ago. Shame on the french record industry!

évariste

Another obscure french screaming artist from the sixties: Evariste (Joël Sternheimer), a 23 years old scientist, who decided to sing in order to pay his own research in theoretical physics as the U.S. had cut off the credits because of the Vietnam War.
His songs are always cynical and hilarious. "La Révolution" is a perfect exemple, i love him as much as Hector (see previous post)
