   About Les Jaguars
Interview with Lux from The Cramps in gravyzine.com. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
I don’t know if you collect. Obviously by what you’re interested in musically you can see that you’re interested in obscure records and horror toys, I’m sure. Have you ever on tour found really good finds in any thrift shops? ....................................................... Lux: Oh, all the time. We’re always out looking for stuff. It’s great because we go to a lot of weird places, we’ll stop on the bus, in-between here and there we’ll find amazing things. Fairly often, you know, the farther away you get from the 60s the harder it is to find things. Somebody just gave us two albums by the Jaguars in Montreal, amazing instrumental albums. Fans give us stuff sometimes and that’s really great. Right before we left we found a box with a bunch of jelly jars on top of it in a junk store and I piled all this stuff and looked in this box and something just made me want to see what’s in that box and I found just a stack of amazing 78s of all 50s, the real wild, obscure, crazy rock’n’roll stuff. Like Blues, R’n’B stuff, that was the latest thing that we found. But we find stuff all the time. Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Vitres baissées, manches courtes, guitares croustillantes en plein air, c'est l'été, le temps, l'espace.......................................................................... Dans ma bopite à écho, l'été 1994 résonne, formidable. Fin juin, je suis retourné à mes sources, au Saguenay, après une absence de quinze ans. Tout m'a paru beau. Vivant. Particulièrement Arvida, la ville de mon enfance. Quelques jours plus tard à Montréal, j'ai revu les Jaguars, héros de mon adolescence saguenayenne. Tout m'a paru beau.......................................... Au petit restaurant du coin, fin 1963, Supersonic Twist des Jaguars brassait le juke-boxe prendant que je tapochais la machines à boules. Le samedi soir, on allait danser. Timides dans notre habillement sobre, voir les Jag's entrer en habit fauves mouchetés de taches noires, ça commendait le respect!.................................................................................................... Mais il y a une faille. Les Jaguars eurent un succès immédiat avec Mer Morte. Pour leur malheur, c'était à peu près en même temps que les Beatles triomphaient. D'où rapidement un déficit esthétique: les rock ne se consevait plus sans le chant. Dès 1966, les Jaguars rentraient dans l'ombre................. Lors de diverses réincarnations antérieures du groupe, j'avais refusé de voir et d'entendre ces ''nouveaux Jaguars''....................................................... Le 2 juillet 1994, Sylvain Cormier signalait dans le devoir un spectacle des Jaguars au Quai des Brumes. Sa collègue Guylaine Maroist officiait dans cette nouvelle mouture. Une journaliste guitariste ? C'étais suffisant pour piquer ma curiosité.................................................................................... Ce soir-là au Quai, il n'y avait pas que de la brume dans mes yeux. Un miracle quelconque avait préservé Arthur Cossette. Il était là, imperturbable comme une cathédrale.Il ne s'est pas adapté, c'est la vie qui l'a finalememt reconnu................................................................................................. J'ai revu les Jaguars un soir d'été 1995, lors d'une vente de trottoir sur l'avenue Mont-Royal. Devant la station-service, on avait installé une scène rudimentaire. Avec les néons blancs et rouges en arrière-plan, le décor avait tout le bon goût moderne et early rock'n'roll qu'il fallait. Les Jaguars furent parfaits................................................................................................... Greg Shaws écrivait dans le Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock'n'Roll, en 1980: ''Je soupconne que le rock instrumental va revenir faire un ultime apparition avant que ne se termine l'histoire du rock'n'roll ''. Eh bien, il avait raison !..................................................................................................... Apparu en 1957, le rock instrumental a connu sa dernière heure de gloire avec la surf music en Californie, en 1963, l'année des Jaguars justement ! Ce qu'on appelle maintenant le surf rock, genre auquel s'identifient les Jaguars contemporains, connaît un net regain de popularité avec le succès de Pulp Fiction........................................................................................... Le rapprochement entre un groupe originaire d'Arvida et la surf music n'est hétéroclite qu'à première vue. Colonisée seulement à partir de 1838, la région du Saguenay Lac St-Jean est en quelque sorte une dernière frontière de l'Amérique, le versant Far Est de la Californie ! La confiance collective en soi est toujours forte. Et le Lac St-Jean en est la mer morte, lieur de repos pour ces gens à l'enthousiasme naturel....................................................... Le reste, c'est l'histoire qui se poursuit. C'est ce disque. C'est la victoire des fauves au fil du temps et de l'espace.......................................................... Robert Saucier

Catch That Rockabilly Fever

sheree homer



Jun 7 2009 6:53 PM

Catch That Rockabilly Fever by Sheree Homer is a candid account of life on the road and in the studio with '50s legends and today's talent. These are personal stories told by the artists themselves. It's a soft cover biography that will be published in October 2009 by McFarland Publishers and retail for $39.95. It will have never before seen photos (strictly 1950's photos of the legends) and rare stories from the artists themselves. Catch That Rockabilly Fever will be approximately 350 pages in length. It will be unlike any other rockabilly book on the market since it will include some of today's hottest young talent plus insightful stories from 1950's backing musicians and engineers for the first time, such as James Kirkland (Bob Luman, Ricky Nelson), Richie Frost (Ricky Nelson), Steve Handford (Bobby Lee Trammell), Tony Austin (Rock and Roll Trio), Stanley Walker (Ray Smith), Bobby Poe (Wanda Jackson), Vernon Sandusky (Big Al Downing) and Bob Sullivan (KWKH/Louisiana Hayride). Foreword by acclaimed writer Ken Burke.
    These forty-six artists will have individual profiles and one glamorous photo per musician: Glen Glenn, Lew Williams, Art Adams, Elvis Presley, Ricky Nelson, Bob Luman, Ed Bruce, Dickey Lee, Jack Earls, Hayden Thompson, Maddox Brothers and Rose, Sonny Burgess, Carl Mann, Ray Smith, Johnny Powers, Larry Donn, Pat Cupp, Ronnie Hawkins, Bobby Lee Trammell, Huelyn Duvall, Gene Summers, Sonny West, Buddy Holly, The Collins Kids, Wanda Jackson, Charlie Gracie, Big Al Downing, Laura Lee Perkins, The Rock and Roll Trio, Narvel Felts, The Dave and Deke Combo, Kim Lenz, Go Cat Go, High Noon, Larry Cole, Cari Lee Merritt, Josie Kreuzer, Eddie Clendening, Suzy and Buddy Dughi, The Casey Sisters, Carl Sonny Leyland, Dawn Shipley, Sue Moreno, Ruby Ann, and Tex Rubinowitz.
