More Info
• Plastic Bertrand was the alias of new wave prankster Roger Jouret, a native of Belgium who scored several European hits in the process.
• ‘CA PLANE POUR MOI’ was their first single release from ‘AN 1' and is widely regarded as a New Wave classic for its gleefully deranged stupidity.
• The song was a smash hit in Europe and became a cult favourite in America (#39 Billboard Hot 100) and peaked at #8 in the UK charts.
Jouret began his musical career as a drummer for the Belgian punk trio Hubble Bubble, which recorded one unsuccessful album. When Jouret met producer / songwriter Lou Deprijck, the two struck up a recording partnership.
Plastic Bertrand continued to release records in Europe, including a U.K. top 40 hit remake of the Small Faces' ‘SHA LA LA LA LEE’.
