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. They have played in many mods rallies during the
last years :
Move on up (Paris) 1998 2000.& 2003.Castillon Rally (Spain) 1999,Riviera
Affair (Cannes)1998 and (Monaco) 2000, Maximum Weekend (Albisola, Italy)2000,
