Etron Fou Leloublan (French for "Crazy Shit, The White Wolf" or "Mad Shit, the White Wolf"〕 The literal translation of the name is "a lump of excrement" (Etron) "mad" (Fou) "the White Wolf" (Leloublan, which is a contraction of Le Loup Blanc).|group="nb"}}), also known as EFL, were a French avant-garde rock band founded in 1973 by actor and saxophonist Chris Chanet. They recorded five studio albums between 1976 and 1985, and released a live album, ''En Public Aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique'' recorded during a tour of the United States in 1979. Etron Fou Leloublan were best known as one of the five original Rock in Opposition (RIO) bands that performed at the first RIO festival in London in March 1978. Etron Fou Leloublan's music has been described as a blend of punk rock, jazz, French music hall, comedy satire and "avant-garde mayhem". ==History== Etron Fou Leloublan were originally called Etron Fou,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Etron Fou Leloublan, ''Batelage'' )〕 a trio comprising vocalist and saxophonist Chris Chanet (real name Eulalie Ruynat), Ferdinand Richard (bass guitar) and Guigou Chenevier (drums, percussion). Their first concert was on 27 December 1973 when they opened for the French progressive rock band, Magma.〔〔Jones 1995, p.44〕 Etron Fou then went on to produce a "viable, musical alternative to both French rock'n'roll and French free jazz", which had stagnated at the time.〔 In November 1976 they changed their name to Etron Fou Leloublan and recorded their first album, ''Batelages'' (1977). Chanet left the band before the album was released. Towards the end of 1977 Francis Grand replaced Chanet on saxophone and the trio recorded their second album, ''Les Trois Fous Perdégagnent (Au Pays Des...)''. In March 1978, at the invitation of English avant-garde rock group Henry Cow, Etron Fou Leloublan joined Rock in Opposition (RIO) and performed at the first RIO festival in London with four other groups.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rock In Opposition )〕 They also played at the second RIO festival in Milan in April 1979, organised by RIO's Italian representative, Stormy Six. In November 1979 Etron Fou Leloublan toured the United States, and performances at the Squat Club in New York City and Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut were recorded and released on a live album, ''En Public aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique''. Etron Fou Leloublan became a quartet in 1980 with Bernard Mathieu replacing Grand on saxophone, and the addition of multi-instrumentalist and singer Jo Thirion. In mid-1980 the band recorded with former Henry Cow guitarist Fred Frith in France and Switzerland, and appeared on one side of Frith's 1981 solo LP, ''Speechless''. Frith produced Etron Fou Leloublan's next album, ''Les Poumons Gonflés'' (1982), on which he also guested on two of the tracks, playing violin and guitar. For their fifth album, ''Les Sillons de la Terre'' (1984) the saxophonist changed again with Bruno Meillier replacing Mathieu. Etron Fou Leloublan recorded their last album, ''Face Aux Éléments Déchaînés'' in August 1985 as a trio of Richard, Thirion and Chenevier, not bothering to fill the recurring vacant saxophone position. Frith produced the album and guested on four of the tracks. The band broke up in 1986. 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「Etron Fou Leloublan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
