Les Goths étaient de Normandie.
Fils d'immigrés italiens débarqués à Gisors dans l'Eure au début des années 50 Bruno et Gino Frascone ont monté le groupe avec Bernard Faucher (bassiste) et Philippe Sauteur (batterie) très vite remplacé par Yves Journiaux, spectateur d'un de leur pemier concert alors qu'ils s'appelaient les Welkins, et producteur.
Écouter "I remember" :
Ce dernier leur offre des places pour Jimi Hendrix à l'Olympia le 9 Octobre 1967, c'est ce qui va sceller leur carrière ! Ils changent alors leur nom en Goths, tels les barbares venus de l'est.
Ils sont au programme du Golf Drouot les 18 et 19 Janvier 1968.
En Mai ils enregistrent leur premier simple (I remember/Turn over) à Paris sur huit pistes dans les studios Europasonor, dans le 14eme.
Pour la première fois l'effet de phasing est utilisé sur la batterie.
Pour "I remember" la face B, trois choristes de Nicole Croisille sont engagées.
Le deuxième 45 t est enregistré quelques semaines plus tard dans les studios Pathé à Boulogne Billancourt avec "Out of the sun" et "Le jour était gris". Un test pressing équivalent à un 33 t aurait même été gravé à l'époque !!! (...)
Début 1969 les deux disques sont à disposition du public.
Ecouter : "Out of the sun" :
Les Goths, un groupe exceptionnel, et deux 45 t très rares.
ps : on peut trouver les deux titres proposés içi sur la compilation plus ou moins bootleg : Beat it, killertracks from the roaring 60's.
Le reste à lire dans le Club des années soixante n°22. (Oct. 96) Merci à Jean Philippe Bidaine et Eric Terral, auteurs de l'article dont est tiré cet extrait. Merci à 45tdurockfrançais.net pour les deux scans. Maj du 11/01/2014 : Depuis, une interview supplémentaire a été menée sur le web sur le site : http://fuzzine.over-blog.com/
By demand and demand and demand... and the two minutes passed away. (private joke)
So here it is , in the comments : (Re)-post of the great demo from this fabulous but undercovered 90's French surf band :
As a promise is a promise, and to thank the anonymous guy who answered to my demand on the Stilettos : here is another time these great songs by this great dutch band.
Great track, superb song... (and we all need more week-end !)
Week-end
Just to remember this superb artist , go to : eddiecochran.info (Today i'd just like to talk about Eddie Cochran, one of my favorite singer/songwriter.)

This 03rd of July, I haven't the idea to see live this great band. I just known the name, its reputation, and I have already had the chance to see them on stage, but unfortunaltely, arriving at Macon some weeks ago, a member was ill, and the band had been remplaced by another.
So this week-end, I was visiting a friend of mine, near Chambéry, and in the middle of the afternoon, around the table, with a good wine in hand, we look for the cultural manifestations. What a surprise to read in the newspaper that the Bogeymen were programmed by the Larsen label, not far from here with the Squares and two other bands !
So we went to the Parc du buisson rond.
Notice : This is a fan document, not intended for a bootleg (for shit people). If you listen voices and sound's variations during the tracks, it's normal. It's just because I was so excited that I run in all the directions, combining the recording of the set with my walkman and the shooting of the scene with my photograph. It's fan bootleg in its true reality, with no consideration of making money with it. Just sharing.
Anyway, you will admit it's a great document, considering there is nothing else around about the band. Am I alone to have documents ? I don't think so. But you're so square...
Track listing of the set (almost complete) 1 You are on my mind (1st ending) 0:18 2 I'll get to you 2:02 3 She let me down 2:12 4 Backward child 2:06 5 I just need somebody 2:21 6 She's not mine 1:54 7 You're my candy 2:16 9 I've got nobody (ending) 1:08 10 Don't be afraid of me 2:44 11 Don't try to put me down 1:38 12 Roaming child 2:19 13 We'll feel allright 2:46 14 I feel well 2:31 15 Action time 2:48 16 You are on my mind (encore) 2:38 (missing "8 Electrocution" : end of k7)
