Steph, Arnaud et Phil : "like it was 16 years ago !"
C'était ce Samedi soir, à Crémeaux (42), sur les hauteur de Roanne.
Didier et véronique fêtaient leur mariage célébré quelques mois plus tôt, lors d'une méga fête en plein air.
Didier avait eu l'excellente idée de réunir l'"ancien" groupe de son cousin Arnaud, dont le dernier concert datait de 1997 : The Out four bien sûr !
Didier rejoint Arnaud au chant
Franck, on drums
C'est donc avant la tempête qui suivit, qu'un bout improvisé du répertoire unique connu de quelques amateurs et de la famille des musiciens pu sortit des amplis et des enceintes : "It's all over now/Around & around/Drive me faster/Le responsable/Don't look back/I'm gone to realize", et ce avant que Didier lui-même assure la contrebasse dans son combo jazz funk complété par Thomas , Bastien, et emmené par Rob Lavels au sax.
...Quelques années de plus, quelques cheveux en moins... mais toujours une émotion intacte pour un Rhythm'nblues garage pêchu.
Merci Didier et Véronique pour ce moment magique !
Another time, and by request, the first ep by my own garage/Rnb band, on Cineux, but with our own references (OF for "Out Four", obviously !). And this time, in real "Mp3'orama" !
Listen to the traxs :
Drive me faster
Where the action is
I'm not sure
Go to Thee Cave for the complete disco and infos about the band, and if you like, to the official site (even if not updated) for more chronicles and pics. (More on the way here)
ps : I have the rights on this record, and even if I have no more copies of this one to sell, I do have some copies of the Blowback's ep on WTAI, plus some other cool 90's records (25 " Wild and groovy my dear Watson...), and more. Ask if you want a list.
À la demande générale : another time this rare ep by these two french garage bands : The Out Four and Pickpockets. This time the complete 6 tracks ep. See the previous note for details.

At last, the first (and last) ep by my late band.
This one should have been edited by Groovy Eyes at that time, (1995) and that never was.
So we did on a limited basis of 100 copies given free with our lp, in 1997.
4 songs from the first and last ep of this french Rnb/Garage band.
As it is pretty rare, I give today the opportunity to listen to :
And now ladies and gentlemen that you have been introduced to the Out Four and the ggrrrrrrreat Pickpockets,
let me please tell you about the famous split ep project of the center of France versus the south :
"Surf and Tiels*" , or more common : "Out Four contre Pickpockets" !!
This ep was made in 1997 just before the break of the two bands. The idea was to record some surf and garage tracks of each friends and to launch it on the market. But the technical productor (Lord Diabolik) forgot to tell about the fact the ep should only be edited at 100 copies ! (and numeroted !)
So once the thing done, what we have ? a record that went away in few days (weeks). Too sad.
But that's history, because today, bam ba baaaammmmm :
Here it is, in great lo-fi, like you all love, ain't you ? Out Four contre Pickpockets split ep

Face A
1 No Special time (Listen)
