HAPPY DRIVERSATTENTION AUX INDIENS 1985-93
Heading from France (Angers), this 3 piece changed a lot in its short career. the five (short) albums the Happy Drivers released from 1987 to 1994 saw them starting as a rockabilly band (the first two albums) then moving to some sort of metallized psychobilly (the third) to, finally, include medieval influences to their sound! All those years, they toured, toured and toured some more establishing themselves as one of the finest live-acts of the french alternative blossoming at that time. Here's a 20 songs/50 minutes compilation spanning their whole discography and including two very sweet covers that became essentials of their live-show. Enjoy!
Samples:
La Isla Bonita (Madonna cover)

Thumbs up for this wonderful collection of yours mate!!! As a Frenchman who's been living for about 12 years, I've enjoyed dipping back into some good old French rock, dans le genre d'OTH (j'suis de Montpellier), de la Mano ou encore des Happy Drivers que j'ai si souvent vu en concert par le passé. Entre les artworks et les sélections, y a pas à dire vos choix sont judicieux ! Un grand bravo et meilleurs voeux 2009 from Sam da Musselman...
