Biography

With a first album released in 1973, Octobre (the name comes from the episode of terrorism Quebec lived through in October 1970) preceded by a few months the arrival of Beau Dommage and Harmonium on the Quebec music scene, becoming one of the first francophone groups of the province (with Offenbach) to leave its mark. More intellectual than any of these bands, they didn't reach the same popular success, but still remain an essential part of Quebec '70s rock. In 1969, singer/keyboardist Pierre Flynn, his cousin guitarist Jean Dorais, and his friend bassist Mario Légaré were teenagers playing songs by the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan in an undocumented band called Gladstone, which lasted over a year. Légaré, Flynn, and local drummer Pierre Hébert formed Maelstrom (also undocumented) in 1971, a group focusing on francophone rock.
