Bérurier Noir

Bérurier noir is a French punk band formed in Paris in 1983 by Laurent "Loran" Katrakazos (guitar), François Guillemot (vocals) and Dédé (drum machine).They called themselves "noir" (black) for the color of mourning (because their first concert was planned to be also their last) and for anarchy and "Bérurier" after the character from the novels of Frédéric Dard.Instead of being an end, the success of their first show inspired them to continue.A cult band, Bérurier Noir were loved by a generation of youth and feared by concert organisers for the riots that followed their shows.
