A.k.a. A 3 Dans Les WC
Another underrated french band, at least so cursed as Taxi girl. Their music, a mix between Stranglers and Marquis de Sade, in a personal manner (with french singing vocals), was instinctive, rough and thoroughbred. They began as many french new wave bands, (with plenty of difficulties to be heard from the audience and fights of the audience during gigs, Sham 69 syndrom) but the story was a bit different, they did early sign with a major (CBS) for 3 LPs. The fairytale turned quickly to nightmare : although WC3 proposed something new in the french rock land, with a powerfull production, the records didn't sale enough, so CBS decided not to promote the band. WC3 was trapped, it was impossible to leave CBS to be driven by another label that would invest more in promotion. The band recorded distressfully the 3 records (a first 6 tracks mini LP + 2 LPS), and Janine, keyboardist and guitarist, did commit a suicide. Standing K.O., WC3 disbanded. Such a waste !
