Between these guys and Angel Face, I wonder exactly how much of Detroit got into French musical consciousness in the 1970's/80's? "Waiting For the War". Posted to Black To Comm.

BRIAN! I'm pissed! I was gonna post this video today! I guess this is what I get for falling behind schedule... I guess this is better than wanting to post something that you posted like a year beforehand (I'm still pissed about all the times that has happened too). Awesome vid, of course

I don't know how much more Detroit crept into France during that era either, but there was a glam band called the Frenchies a little bit before Soggy's time who had an LP featuring a song called "Detroit Palm Trees." A couple of the songs were decent enough, one was really good, and the cover photo is pretty tremendous.

Actually the Frenchies album is called Lola-Cola. Detroit Palm Trees was a track on this album.. Its very good, kinda a mix of Iggy Pop meets the New Yourk Dolls...
