They have been friends for more than 30 years and have always been associated with French pop rock.We find them again in the mid seventies as initiators of the punk movement in France called "The Dentist", then in 1979 they were at the origin of the sixties garage revival, like their American friends "The Fleshtones". Henceforward immortalized by the Rock Dictionary which consecrates them a full page, they are regarded as "one of the best of this kind". Today after 5 LPs and 4 EPs which alternate covers (from British Beat to American garage, surf...)and their own French composing in Ronnie Bird or Dutronc spirit (their name is refering to), they remain above all an energic scenic band whose sound is always incredibly faithfull to the sixties.
