Téléphone
Téléphone () was a French rock band formed in 1976. Their first, self-titled album was released in 1977; by the end of the decade they were one of the biggest French rock bands around, opening shows for The Rolling Stones in Paris, Quebec, the United States and Japan. The band split in 1986 for personal reasons. They have sold around 10 million albums to date, a record still unbeaten for a French rock band. Among their best-known songs are "Hygiaphone", "Métro c'est trop" ("Metro's Too Much"), "La bombe humaine" ("Human bomb"), "Argent trop cher" ("Money Too Expensive ), Ça c'est vraiment toi" ("That Is So You"), "Cendrillon" ("Cinderella"), "New York avec toi" ("New York City With You") and "Un autre Monde" ("Another World"). Reformation as "Les Insus" (2015-2017). The band reunited briefly for a concert at the Point Éphémère on 11 September 2015 under the name "Les Insus" (; "insupportables", meaning insufferable. The elided name also suggests the word "portable", meaning "cellphone" in French, thus implying an upgrade to modern times). Les Insus were composed of Aubert, Bertignac and Kolinka but with the bassist Corine Marienneau replaced on the bass guitar by Aleksander Angelov (hence the reason they  were not able to use the name "Téléphone"). Another concert was given in Lille on September 15. Les Insus also gave a concert in Lyon, at Le Transbordeur, on 6 October 2015. On November 29, 2015, the new group announced a real tour in France (in which Corine Marienneau would not participate) for 2016. The tour was scheduled from 27 April to 11 November in several major cities and several festivals. On 12 November, they announced a tour of the festivals in summer 2017 and a final gig at the "Stade de France" on 15 September. The live album "Les  Insus Live" was released on 8 September. Awards. Album "Un autre monde" won French awards "Victoire de la musique Album Rock" in 1985.
