Parade Ground says this about this publication: “And now the book , an autobiography. 1981, the hidden life of the band Parade Ground. The cursed brothers of the scene. 42 years, more than 2000 concerts. Pierre and Jean-Marc Pauly speak to you: overwhelming. A dive into an era, a thousand encounters, never had a band witnessed so closely, so intimately, the process of creation and the rise of another band: Front 242. A style like scalpel blows. One doesn’t ask a corpse what it is doing in its coffin. End so on. You will never be able to forget them again.”
You can order your copy now via VUZ Records.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
