Bio
.. ..Generate Your Layout at ..MySpaceRocks.com....For in some degree a complete bio (EN FRANCAIS) go to: http://www.qim.com/artistes/biographie.asp------- Their 1976 effort, Le Cauchemar Americain (The american nightmare) was post-punk when punk was coming out, shy, in America! They released two LP prior that, in 1975, Prends une chance avec moé (Take a chance with me - it spawned two BIG hits: Hey you woman and Ch't'aime pis ch't'en veux) and Une nuit comme une autre (A night just like the others - hits: Nancy Beaudoin (now a rock classic in Quebec), Blue jeans sur la plage and Sexe-fiction). The band split-up in 1977 and Francoeur went on a successful solo career in pop and rock music and also, as an award winning writer and an actor (5 films/2 documentary on him, to credit). He went to teaching in 1981 and still is a teacher. He reformed Aut'Chose in 2001, released a CD called Dans la jungle des villes (In the jungle of the cities), who went nowhere because of a serious problems with the distribution and the record company, Disques Star. Slowly, Aut'Chose was going down the drain... At the end of 2004, Ronald Mc Gregor (http://www.myspace.com/ronaldmcgregor) reformed the band with Francoeur and Racine - original members, Michel Langevin and Denis D'Amour from Voïvod, Vincent Peake from Groovy Aardvark and Floating Widget, plus Joe Evil, the man from Grimskunk and Colectivo. They had a phenemonal reception on April 7th, 2005, the first concert of Aut'Chose in 30 years, and the first with this line-up. Hailed as the first supergroup of Quebec, two days later, they were in the Multisons studio, recording live, the CD Chansons d'epouvante (Terrifying songs). It came out on May 17th to an already receptive critics. More than 30 positive critics as of today! Then, as you all know, legendary Denis D'Amour died on August 26... The band ask Martin Dupuis, from Groovy Aardvark (already an influential band in Quebec), to fill his shoes. He said yes. Denis was one of his major influences as a guitar player. Then, after a few months, feeling uncomfortable in Denis' shoes, Martin quit the band and they asked Alex Crowe from Tricky Woo, Xavier Caféine and Kosmos fame to fill the void. -

Influences
Francoeur's lyrics (he's one of the greatest/award winning poet in Quebec since 1972) are influenced by Lou Reed, Jim Morrison and Arthur Rimbaud. In Aut'Chose, he relates his own life's experience of hard drugs, sexe, and living like a bum in the nasty part of a city. His words are a fine mix of french, slang quebecois and english. In 1974, that was a unique way to express yourself! NOBODY was talking over hard rock music. Be it french or english. Aut'Chose's music is also unique. It's basically... well, Aut'Chose ("something else" in english. A mix of 70's american hard rock, 70's english progessive rock, psychedelic rock and post punk (what we call today, stoner metal). -
Sounds Like
The band has its own sound. It's stoner rock some say, psychedelic, hard rock, metal, progressive... nobody can put a label on the band. One thing for sure, their sound kick ass! Deeply. So I guess it's STONER METAL!
