The first time the Jack o’ Lanternes made us waltz was in Saint Malo Street, for the “Folies Rennaises” in June, ‘94. Then, for the “Transmusicales” of Rennes, drunk with music, we demanded more. Then this merry-go-round took to the road in Paris and the provinces, in bars and festivals, with exalted bar-hopping companions like “Louise Attaque”, “Têtes Raides”, “Casse-Pipe”, “Les Clams”, “Jojo Triban”, and “Miossec”. In June, ‘96 came a series of concerts in Palestine, and there was “Penichtro”, the itinerant festival on barges navigating the canals of Brittany in’95, ‘96 and ‘97.
