There were bands like CAN in Germany, NURSE WITH WOUND in UK, THE RESIDENTS in USA, and there were DEFICIT DES ANNEES ANTERIEURES in France. Formed in 1979 by 3 artists from the Beaux-Arts of Caen : Jean-Luc André, Sylvie Martineau-Fée, Jean-Philippe Fée ; DDAA is one of the leader of all the independent, experimental, industrial 80’s French scene and also with their highly artistic, peculiar and thoughtful vision which is brilliantly illustrated by their own label ILLUSION PRODUCTION (more than 40 references published). This undoubtedly makes DDAA as one of the most outstanding band of the French underground since the last thirty years ! Behind this radical and utopian group are three self-taught musicians of high creativity with a surprising and rich discography, around thirty titles released under all formats : vinyls LP, singles, 10 inch, tapes, CDs and many compilations (some deleted titles are still very collectable today). From a post-punk/avant-garde/surrealistic music made by improvisations and collages, DDAA created an odd and captivating world, somehow naive but truly emotional.
