The Afternoons. That would be the translation of the band Les Après-Midi from France.

I continue trying to find out more about that great French indiepop scene of the early 90s where there were so many great bands but that sadly have been lost in time.

I suspect that today’s band would be very obscure. That I won’t find much information. The band’s name is not easy to google and I don’t have many clues about band members or anything.

The only information I have is that they released one song. It was called “Défauts” and was included in the legendary 1990 cassette compilation “Heol” (KAREN 02) that Karen Records released. The English translation for the name of the song would be defects.

This compilation has been mentioned in the blog many times. I have featured many bands including Les Freluquets,  The Spindle Berries, Bachelor Pad, Jane from Occupied Europe or Change of Seasons. It was a true international compilation.

My suspicion is correct. I google and google and can’t find any details about the band. Who were behind the band? Did they release any records? Whereabouts in France where they from?

Anyone has any clue?
