BB DOC (ABO #025)


BB DOC
FURYA

This much overlooked french band mixed punk, ska, rock, metal, chanson, fun and many more styles. Formed by Piéro Sapu (vocals, also singer with Les Garçons Bouchers and Docteur Destroy) and Drunk D'Alençon soon joined by Dominique "Moby Dick" Rivière (both on guitars, Mobydick later played in Les Garçons Bouchers and Pigalle) and various rythm sections, they released three albums on François Hadji-Lazaro's Boucherie Productions. This label also brought us bands such as La Mano Negra (featuring Manu Chao), Los Carayos (an all star folk band formed by musicians of the 80's french independant scene and, once again, featuring Manu Chao and the label's boss from Les Garçons Bouchers & Pigalle's fame), Les Tétines Noires (an indie dadaist industrial band I once posted on this blog) and many more great bands. BB DOC, though, has a special place in my heart. First, I was friend with them but mostly they were a terrific live act (one you don't meet too often) with Piéro doing the charismatic (yet funny and prompt to disguise) frontman. They started as a punk/oi band in the early/mid eighties, something that is not too obvious on their albums... "Jazz" (1989), their debut album, still has a few punk tunes but otherwise the only punk remains in the band's routine was the attitude and revolt which never stopped inhabting them. All albums are good, "Desintegraal" (1992, their second opus) is a bit more refined than "Jazz" was and "Rage de Raison" (1997) shows but little marks of what the band once was. They never got the success they deserved and called it quits a few months after this third and final album. Now it's time for you to catch up on a bit of french 90's alternative music, one too few are aware of. Have fun with BB DOC in this hour long selection of their finest cuts!

  1. Stefan,

    what about posting a selection of Jacques Brel's songs? You posted a huge collection of Brel's records on Moodswings some time ago, so there's no one better than you to ask... :-)

    Thanks. Nick

  4. These are the lyrics for "Ohé les Copains". It was originally a Frehel song which BB DOC covered for a tribute album.

    Ça faisait rudement longtemps
    Qu'on était tous les deux
    Moi j'avais dix-huit ans
    Et lui dans les vingt-deux
    Il m'a tout fait quitter
    Mon père et puis ma mère
    C'était pour me faire goûter
    À toutes les misères

    (Refrain:)
    Ohé les copains
    Venez vous rincer la gueule
    Ce soir je suis toute seule
    Il est mort ce matin

    C'était un beau salaud
    Qu'en foutait pas une rame
    Pour un verre de pernaud
    L'aurait vendu son âme
    Quand il était bien saoul
    Il me tapait comme une brute
    Il connaissait de ces coups
    On aurait dit de la lutte

    (Refrain-

    Des fois il me trompait
    Ces choses là ça m'écœure
    Et quand il revenait
    Il ronflait vingt-quatre heures
    Pourtant y'avait des jours
    Ça c'était une merveille
    Il me parlait d'amour
    Quand je rapportais ma paie

    (Refrain)

    Mais je ne sais pas ce qu'il y a
    C'est pourtant pas normal
    Rien que de parler de tout ça
    J'ai le cœur qui me fait mal
    Ça c'est vraiment marrant
    Y'a quelque chose qui cloche
    C'est que quand j'ai eu vingt ans
    Il m'a donné cette broche

    (Dernier refrain:)
    Aller les copains
    Ce soir je suis toute seule
    Je reverrai plus sa gueule
    Il est mort ce matin

  7. The author of baistophe.blogspot.com has written an excellent article. You have made your point and there is not much to argue about. It is like the following universal truth that you can not argue with: When you're not high, people who are, are never as entertaining as they think they are. Thanks for the info.
