L'Étranger (''The Stranger'' or ''The Outsider'') was a Canadian punk rock band formed in 1980 in Toronto.〔("Andrew Cash: From punk to politics" ). ''Toronto Star'', May 7, 2011.〕 Named for the novel ''L'Étranger'' by Albert Camus,〔("Punks in the House of Commons" ). ''The Globe and Mail'', May 7, 2011.〕 the band played a politically minded brand of punk music that drew on both Clash influences and the band members' social justice-oriented Roman Catholic faith.〔 The band was best known for their anti-apartheid single "One People", one of the first independent videos ever to gain airplay on the then-new MuchMusic.〔 The band originally consisted of Andrew Cash, Charlie Angus and Peter Duffin.〔(L'Étranger ) at canoe.ca's Canadian Pop Encyclopedia.〕 That lineup released one EP, ''Innocent Hands'' in 1982. Bruce Meikle, under the stage name "Bruce P.M.", was added to the line-up in time for the second EP, 1984's ''Running Out of Funtown''. Subsequently, Angus left the band to form Grievous Angels,〔 and was replaced by Tim Vesely for the band's final EP, ''Sticks and Stones'' in 1986.〔 Angus is still mentioned in the EP liner notes as a group member, although it is acknowledged in those same notes that he did not participate in the EP's actual recording. Following the band's breakup, Cash began performing as a solo artist.〔 His first solo release was a reissue of ''Sticks and Stones''.〔 He went on to record several albums as a solo singer-songwriter and as a member of The Cash Brothers,〔 and also worked as a freelance journalist. Duffin later co-founded the acoustic pop band Barnhouse Static with Canadian songwriter Kathy Evans. As of 2011, Angus and Cash are both in politics, sitting in the Canadian House of Commons as members of the New Democratic Party caucus.〔 ==Discography== *1982: ''Innocent Hands'' EP *1983: ''Running Out of Funtown'' EP *1986: ''Sticks and Stones'' 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「L'Étranger (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
