Les Respectables

Quebec rock band founded in 1991 in Cap-Rouge (Canada), made up of Pascal Dufour, Sébastien Plante, Stéphane Beaudin and Stéphane Dussault. The inspiration for the band's name comes from a Rolling Stones song, " Respectable ", from the 1978 album Some Girls . In 1992, the band won first place in the L'Esprit contest organized by Montreal radio station CHOM-FM. They took their first show across Canada, and released their first English-language album, No Dogs, No Band, in the spring of 1993. In 1996, they launched their second English-language album, Full Regalaia, and a new show simultaneously. In September 1999, they released their first French-language album, $=Bonheur. Eight songs from this album were played on Quebec radio stations, and three reached number 1: " Holà décadence " (6 weeks), " L'Argent fait le bonheur " (9 weeks) and " Plaisir " (4 weeks). In 2001 and 2002, they win back-to-back Félix awards for Group of the Year at the ADISQ gala. In fall 2002, Les Respectables release the album QuadroSonic , which propels two songs to number one on the radio charts: " Ma Vie à l'heure " (1 week) and " On fait c'qu'on aime " (15 weeks). On January 8, 2003, they open for the Rolling Stones at the Bell Centre in Montreal. In 2005, the band released their third French-language album, Le Monde À l'Envers. The following year, they present a show at the Bell Centre to celebrate their fifteen-year career. In 2007, they released Les Respectables - Live Au Centre Bell . In 2008, guitarist Pascal Dufour left the band to pursue solo projects, and was replaced by Jean-Sébastien Chouinard. 2010 brings the band's tenth career album, Guacamole , where they take a reggae approach with the song " La Vie c't'une job ". In 2015, they produce a self-titled opus that is produced by Canadian Gordie Johnson of the band Big Sugar. The tracks " As-tu assez d'amour pour en donner? " and " Cette fille " are making a name for themselves on Quebec radio charts.
