La STPO:
La Société des Timides à la Parade des Oiseaux (roughly translated to Shy Society at the Bird Parade). This society (from Rennes, Bretagne, France) was born in may 1984 on the ashes of the band Sarajevo, which played an impossible compromise between Pere Ubu, Wire and such bands. Among the members who founded the band, are : Jim B (Guitar) and Pascal Godjikian (vocals, lyrics). Patrice Babin (drums, percussion) joined in the beginning of 85. A 4 track-EP was released in 1986 on Illusion Produktion, the label of the band Deficit des Années Antérieures (D.D.A.A.), then an LP in 1990 ; on this one could be found no less than 12 musicians : except the founder members, trumpet, clarinet, saxophone, synthesizer, cello and three bass guitar players could be heard!
La STPO fights against anyone defining them. Dadaism, avant-prog, punk, RIO, jazz, zeuhl or no-wave will be some of the experts opinion about this society, but they will twist and turn it to fit into the surreal La STPO world. Evidently inspired by avant-prog bands like Henry Cow or krautrockers Faust. Vocalist Godjikian describes the music as "musique explositionniste". He explains smilingly this french expression: music that induces explosions in the head of its listeners.
Today La STPO is:
JimB : Guitar
Patrice Babin : Drums, Percussions
Benoît Delaune : Bass, Cello
Christophe Gautheur : synthesizer, Clarinet, sax
Pascal Godjikian : Vocals
Johann Mazé : Trumpet
