EN CONCERT (1989)

After Tome 2, Les Garçons Bouchers made an appearance on the big scene of La Fête de L'Humanité (the annual French Communist Party feast where many popular artists have played including The Who). They decided to make this event special by inviting a string quartet (!), the famous percussion ensemble Les Tambours Du Bronx and a bunch of friends to sing the background vocals (including their soon to be singer Piéro Sapu). They recorded the event and released it for the great pleasure of those who were here and their other fans as it included their early classics in reworked versions and the only known recording of their Petula Clark Cover (Chariot) which the band used at every concert as their introduction. A fun if not too well recorded live album...

ON A MAL VIEILLI (1990)
320 KBPS

A new singer joins the band, Piéro Sapu (translating into Pete Itstinks) from BB Doc fame. As Piéro has a more melodic voice than his predecessor Eric, Les Garçons Bouchers became then a more melodic act. Sale Gueule was another crowd favourite together with L'Histoire Mélodramatique de Momo Farid et le Grand, Les Vieux à la Poubelle or La Fête La Joie. As usually, there are covers on On A Mal Vieilli: Je Ne Suis Pas Bien Portant (an old tune of 1932 originally sung by Gaston Ouvrard), Je M'Eclate Au Sénégal (from famous rock/pop late 60's/70's act Martin Circus) but also what was to become their biggest hit, a cover of La Lambada with new lyrics criticizing the greed of major companies stealing music from Third World musicians to make a hit. A good album!

1. Sale Gueule
2. Punk En Culottes Courtes
3. Haiti
4. Je Ne Suis Pas Bien Portant (j'ai Le Rap Qui Dérape)
