Sarcelles – Lochères is the only album from the progressive rock/protopunk French band Red Noise, of whom Patrick Vian was the most notable member.

History

Vian had gained some prominence as a guitar player[1] with Red Noise (which was associated with Ame Son); the band formed at the Sorbonne in 1968, and played its first show during the occupation of the university.[2] According to Vian, these were exciting times: he later commented that in Red Noise's early days, "their concerts wouldn't end until the cops came."[3]

The band released its only album, Sarcelles – Lochères, in 1970. The group broke up after being arrested in the Netherlands for possession of hash.[4] Given the revolutionary times, the band split rather appropriately into a socialist and a Trotskyist section, the latter of which continued under the name Komintern.[2]

Sarcelles – Lochères was released on LP in 1970, and re-released on CD by Futura Records in 1996.[5]
