John Peel Session - 16 November 87
Bulgarian Blues / Little Kiddy / Dead Dreams / Instrumental / About Your Life
Northern American Indian song called "Nightdance"; About your life is still unreleased
Les Thugs (Nineteen #25) :
these guys make perhaps three sessions a week. They know how to make a band sound
with saturated amplifiers. More appreciable, from the start, they're at your disposal :
they do everything you ask them, they follow your suggestions ... when we listened to
the result, it was sounding almost like the album, we wondered why Peel was keeping
on doing these sessions.

Christophe (British Connection/LDJ HS Fev. 88) :
(The TV or radio programs which broadcast things about the alternative scene)
Not only they are very rare, but there is almost none. There was, Décibels
which faced many problems, which schedule was changed, and which broadcast
now less interesting things. On TV, everything is based on the number of people
who listen, it's a process to lower the level by the base, it's the majority
who decides what you should listen.

Played live
Christophe (Ouest France March, 14 1996) :
this TV program is interesting for us ... In fact if this TV program works,
it's especially because the team of "Nulle part ailleurs" is constituted by
technicians and journalists of our age and with references in common, who
make Gildas (the speaker) take risks for the choice of the musical guests.

Les Héros du peuple sont immortels (Nov. 84) :
They're coming from Angers to offer us one of the wildest rock. The tape lacks energy
compared to the one they're giving live, but we discover a band full of agressiveness,
between Cramps and Gun Club colored with a sixties touch. Something to decide the
most fervent rocker. To be heard to wait before the ep.
