Compilation – Rock A Limoges

The album Rock à Limoges (1986) is a compilation that brings together various artists from the local rock scene, this project was designed to highlight the musical dynamism in Limoges

This type of project is essential to preserve the musical heritage of a region, and encourage new generations of artists to express themselves through music. Then I wanted you to know about this one, which is what we call a « collector », really. While its sounds punk rock and electro avant garde, it was produced in 1986 by a Limoges (France) local radio station, RTF (Radio Trouble Fête),which was more into cultural projects, and deeper radio show topics, at the time ; the record features local artists that were rocking the city !

Few more words about the record

Not many copies were made at that time ! How do I know this ? Well, I worked for this radio station from 2001 to ending 2011, and I’ve found some copies in old shelves… I was lucky enough to get my own copy. Some of the musicians are still in the place making music, even if names and styles have changed… For instance, after Medikao ’s break, our favorite Dr Leopard created a new character, La Veuve Electro ! Alongside another musical figure from this region, he performED under the name of Diamants Éternels. From another structure, Stef Tej is keeping alive his band with Les Ejectes, other musicians from this compilation are still on the scene, with electro or rock, and even punk bands ! The show must go on…
