12°5 - s/t LP 1980

12°5 were formed 1978 in Paris and had shaken bodies and minds. The band: one girl, Joss (vocals) and four guys, Olivier and Bud (guitars), Jean-Luc (bass) and Frank (drums), an astonishing complicity, lyrics that struck the heart and the stomach, who were not afraid of anyone and who wanted to be heard despite the hell the noise removers were making all around. It didn' take long for the publisher, Philippe (the one who had ears), got involved and accompanied them to their 7Inch J'ai Envie and the debut album in 1980. It's their tours… and they flooded France and all the festivals. They shared the stages with all the rock groups of the time and their meeting with the English punx The Ruts is overwhelming and their second album Entre-Temps was produced in 1982 in Seattle and London with producer John Brand and drummer Dave Ruffy from the famous Ruts. On their return, they set off again on the roads with Starshooter for the TORA, TORA, TORA tour. After these four years of intensive rock, they separate in 1982 smoothly and not even angry and each goes on new adventures. They meet again in 2003. This gives an exceptional concert on January 13, 2004 at the Maroquinerie in a full house. As this concert was an exceptional moment, they decided to do it again on April 17, 2005, again at the Maroquinerie with many guests as well. Solid rock with ten catchy tunes, the weekend is knocking.
