Marcel Kanche, Phil Gaz and Bruno Tollard create Un Département in 1980. They are quickly adopted by the indie scene, the one of squats and Belleville's loft. They meet and play with Rita Mitsouko, Pere Ubu, Fred Frith, getting the sympathetic of the experimental and free scene. Journalists, critics and musicians are their main audience. Un Département, very underground combo counts five releases as records or tapes, then sent
with Marcel Kanche drawings. Je serai Clément en tant que Dictateur, Aimer l'Eunuque avant de Glauquer, Le Album, are significant titles. After Bruno Tollard left the sophisticated
punk duet with suits and ties takes the road to try its concept further to the west: New York. Their electro-acoustic improvisations on Marcel's poems or Antonin Artaud's texts gets them astonishment and sometimes non understanding. They'll play at the mythic CBGB's, as opening for Lounge Lizards, The Cure, jamming with Stray Cats drummer, and stealing for a night the stardom to Alan Vega. They'll share in the New York night with him a "moule-frite" in a sepulchral silence...
