Formed in 1980 and disbanded twelve years later, Les Avions represented the idea of French-style new wave pop, tinged with funk and rock. Their 1986 hit "Nuit sauvage" stayed in the Top 50 for nineteen weeks. This single from their second album Fanfare followed the enthusiastic press response to its predecessor, Les Avions (Underdog, 1982, whose master tapes perished in a fire). The band tried in vain to replicate this success with the albums Loin (1989, with "Tous ces visages") and 4 (1992), which sounded the death knell for the adventure. Guitarist and singer Jean-Pierre Morgand then embarked on a solo career.
