It's French, Bitch!

God bless fluxblog for recently posting this track.
Nous Non Plus - Fille Atomique
To quote Stephen Colbert in reference to his lastname "It's French, Bitch!"
and so it applies to the pop dream Nous Non Plus. Nous Non Plus (former members of more established les sans coulet) recently played a gig at the echo along side Canadian leslie's band Pink Grenade. they promptly knocked out song after song of brilliant french pop. while this is by no means a complicated band, that's not to say they aren't sophisticated. silly, yes. stupid, no. look at the roster, and you get the picture real quick:
Celine Dijon, Jean Luc Retard, bonnie day, cal d'hommage, Prof. Harry Covert, Morris Chevrolet, francois hardonne
when i was introduced to Jean Luc (Dan) it was prefaced by the fact that he had just taken second place (and was robbed i'm told) in the US Nationals ... of the Air Guitar World Championships. Further research on that subject turned up details on a national victory by a shirtless, brown skinned young fella going by "Rockzilla"... Rock sure looked the part, i can't deny that.
at any rate, the band is a pure riot. if you re-shot rock and roll high school but had the whole movie take place in 3rd term french class in new haven, you would wind up with Nous Non Plus being named honorary students instead of the ramones.
