It must have been around 1983\/1984 when the <em>Chaos Productions<\/em> records, first the compilations then the records by <em>Reich Orgasm<\/em>, <em>Komintern Sect<\/em>, <em>Les Collabos<\/em> and others hit us and boy did they hit us.<\/p>\n<p>On top we discovered other stuff like <em>Sub Kids<\/em> (&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=lpHmDHAD4R8\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Kids of Glory<\/em><\/a>&#8221; remains one of my hit singles), <em>Camera Silens<\/em> and <em>Oberkampf<\/em>. See a great snippet from back then and <em>Camera Silens<\/em> storming into their \u00fcber hit &#8220;<em>Pour La Gloire<\/em>&#8221; in front of a very 80s audience:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Camera Silens &quot;Les enfants du rock&quot; (1983)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pJeHq-55feA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The most strange thing: They did rarely sing in English and even if they did it was with a heavy accent &#8211; we did not understand a single word. But the sounds where utmost catchy and the visuals where a great mix of punk&#8217;n&#8217;skins&#8217;n&#8217;herberts &#8211; something that in Hamburg did not mix at all.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately US H\/C then took over full time and i somehow lost sight of how bands developed in France, though great stuff like Les Thugs did catch my eye every once in a while. And &nbsp;by today some great bands are in full view and have placed France back again with me (and today, do i have to name <em>Syndrome 81<\/em> or <em>Lion&#8217;s Law<\/em>?)<\/p>\n<p>So it was a definite date for me when Komintern Sect and R.A.S. where to play in me stadium, just a couple of floors down where i have my season ticket. And on top it was a neat DIY show by the St. Pauli Skinheads, just another worthy reason.<\/p>\n<p>First on Haddocks from Jena and as much as i do love seeing bands and discovering new bands their sing-a-long Oi! Punk did not really stick with me &#8211; though they were both firm on their attitude and well mannered.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7192\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7192\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7192 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Die-Haddocks-Fanr\u00e4ume-Hamburg-25.03.2017-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Haddocks (Fanr\u00e4ume, Hamburg, 25.03.2017 (c) gehkacken.de)\" width=\"660\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Die-Haddocks-Fanr\u00e4ume-Hamburg-25.03.2017-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Die-Haddocks-Fanr\u00e4ume-Hamburg-25.03.2017-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Die-Haddocks-Fanr\u00e4ume-Hamburg-25.03.2017-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gehkacken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Die-Haddocks-Fanr\u00e4ume-Hamburg-25.03.2017.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 660px) 100vw, 660px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7192\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Haddocks (Fanr\u00e4ume, Hamburg, 25.03.2017 (c) gehkacken.de)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And that gave way to them French who seemed to be out there in Hamburg in numbers.
