(Aut'chose - It's not as dull up there as we thought)

Another band you've probably never heard of, unless you've spent a bunch of time in the 70's in Quebec. Aut'chose (pronounced "out-shows") were one of the better known exports of Rock Quebecois - although probably in Europe and not so much in the States (the French thing).

Some fan pages have been touting them as the precursor to rap, which is more than a bit of a stretch. Probably a bit more like Serge Gainsbourg with a rock band than L'NWA.

But anyway - they recorded three albums for CBS Canada from 1974-1976. This track Sexe-Fiction is off their second album "Une Nuit comme une Autre". From all indications, they were still gigging around as of 2006.

Not for all tastes - but it's good to expand your horizons every once in a while. And it goes well with Saturday night.
