History
Bündock was formed in 1979 in Grand-Mère, Quebec (later in Shawinigan).[2] The band moved to Montreal in 1983 and soon began writing songs in English. The band released an EP, Mauve, in 1986.[3] It scored a minor hit in Canada in 1987 with "American Singer," a tribute to Jim Morrison, which peaked at #72 in the RPM100.[4] The EP also featured the song "Come On (Baby Tonight)," a duet with Sass Jordan.
In 1988, the single "Season for Love" appeared on the RPM CanCon charts.[5] That year, it also released the album Société Anonyme,[1] and toured to support the album as an opening act for The Box.[6] The album was a Prix Félix finalist for English Album of the Year in 1988.[7]
It followed up with the French-language album Cinéma in 1989.[8]
Bündock disbanded in 1989. Marc Gendron became a record producer, musical director and bass player for many artists including French Star Natasha St-Pier, Cindy Bédard and Orloge Simard. Roussel went on to teach high school French at École secondaire Monseigneur-Richard, in Verdun, Montreal. Pierre Bundock became a multimedia instructor in the Collège Édouard-Montpetit, in Longueuil.[9]
