French Version

At the end of the eighties, performing on narrow stages with managers more or less inspired, this band from south of France (Avignon) starts in the musicbusiness using their young but unbeliveable sense of writing simple and amazing songs.

It is important to notice that The Generals had, at that time, a little warmy Ford Transit truck where the musicians lived, playing several games like Couenche (kind of Belote played in the south of France) or Tarot, and made a delicious french cooking during the hours of driving from gigs to gigs.

At the end of 1992 Rock’n’Roll their (real!) second album was released.

In 1993, the band is on the road again, and in the studio too. The Generals recorded new songs that will unfortunately never be available, because of their split off in 1994.
