Despite the French name, these guys are Japanese and famously never released an official album in the 40-odd years they were playing, garnering their legendary reputation instead off the back of a series of bootleg live recordings of variable quality. Oh, and the original bass player hijacked a plane and defected to North Korea.

Damn. Gary did just drum - he owned the studio where Pavement recorded their early EPs and first album, some of the best music made in the 90s. #noistr

This clip of Vanilla Fudge on the Ed Sullivan show is so insane you'd almost think it was a parody of they weren't so damn good. #noistr
