Beau Dommage

Beau Dommage is a group of music Québécois, composed of Pierre Bertrand, Marie-Michele Desrosiers, Réal Desrosiers, Michel Hinton, Pierre Huet, Robert Leger and Michel Rivard. Formed in 1974, it dissolves in 1978. It is reformed episodically in 1984, 1992 and since 1994.

Their greater success remains “the lament of the seal in Alaska” (“cré moé, cré moé not, some share in Alaska… ”) in 1974 which was taken again, inter alia, by the French group Chanson Plus Bifluorée.

Their texts are impressed of daily realism not stripped of poetry, leading them to excuse itself regularly in concert near the streets and subway stations of Montreal which could not find place in these same texts.

At the time of the 30 years of the exit of Beau Dommage , the Capitol Discs republished the album, with a word of Pierre Huet in presentation. One mainly reproaches this republication for not offering nothing more than one simple remasterisation of the tracks, without true no-claims bonus.

In 2005, ten Québécois artists took again with their manner the songs of the album Beau Dommage , for the album Beau Of Homage . This one includes a recovery of each of the 11 original songs, except for “the lament of the seal in Alaska”, taken again by the sisters Anna and Kate McGarrigle, like by Felix Leclerc in 1974. One finds there also the recovery by Daniel Boucher of a song coming from their second album, Where passed the wedding? , “an incident with Wood-of-Slipped by”.
