Dennis Comeau (born 1965, New Haven, CT) is a shoe designer and former new wave vocalist and guitarist. Musically he is best remembered for his short-lived band Hormones〔"Footwear Plus", January 2010, http://www.footwearplusmagazine.com/articles/op-ped/2010/01/sandals-rock〕 with Stiv Bators and Andre Siva, his band Flustercunk, and collaborations with members of Pere Ubu, and DNA. Flustercunk notoriously opened for Blondie at CBGB in 1978, and were kicked out and asked not to return after a fight broke out in the crowd and Comeau was hit in the face with a bottle and hospitalized. The band was accused of "inciting a riot", though band members refuted the accusation.〔"Beat Instrumental Monthly", September 1978〕 After leaving the music industry, Comeau became an assistant to shoe designer Enzo Angiolini, now owned by Jones New York. Moving to Florence, Italy in the mid-1980s, Comeau launched both a couture line of ladies shoes, and followed up a few years later with a bridge line under the Comeaution label.〔"Footwear News" July 29, 1991.Infantino, Vivian〕 In 2001 Comeau acquired the then-defunct Bernardo Sandals label along with his business partner Roy Smith of Houston, TX.〔"Paper City Magazine", April 28, 2011. http://www.papercitymag.com/Article/3063/Bernardo-is-Back!/〕 A higher-priced line under the label "Bernardo Vintage Couture" was launched worldwide in 2011,〔"New York Times", February 16, 2011. http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/16/moon-walk-bernardo/〕 consisting mostly of re-issued sandals designed by Bernard Rudofsky and Eva Sonino. Bernardo was sold in 2011, and Comeau and wife Lynne resigned from their design position with the brand in March 2013.〔WWD, March 12, 2013. http://www.wwd.com/footwear-news/people/comeau-duo-departs-bernardo-6840664〕 The Herbert Levine line was also briefly designed and owned by Comeau.〔"WSA Today", August 2008. http://www.wsatoday.com/latest-news/latest-news/herbert-levine-makes-a-comeback.html〕 Comeau and wife Lynne relocated to Tesuque, NM, in 2006, where they jointly own and operate a shoe design studio along with the studio in Florence, Italy〔"Albuquerque Journal", September 25, 2007.http://www.abqjournal.com/north/597093north_news09-25-07.htm〕 ==Discography== 7" Singles *What's Under Your Genes? - Sire Records 1978 *21 and Dead - Revenge 1977 (Import/France) *I Know You are but What am I? - Apex Records 1978 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dennis Comeau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
