Biography
During the winter of 1984-85, Franz Treichler and Cesare Pizzi redefined the grammar of
rock using rudimentary machines. They were inhabited by an uncompromising, raw and
poetic vision. Joined by drummer Frank Bagnoud, they fine-tuned the formula of the
Young Gods. Their first concerts were like electroshocks. They featured voice, drums and
sampler... and walls of guitar sounds, but without guitars: their music was unheard of.
When the first eponymous album appeared in 1987, the British press heralded the
phenomenon: "The Young Gods are the New Thing, they are what happens next ..." In the
early 1990s, with Al Comet replacing Cesare Pizzi on samplers, the trio surfed the wave
of alternative rock. The album “T.V. Sky”, with its single "Skinflowers" rotating on MTV,
opened the doors of the United States. David Bowie, U2 and Nine Inch Nails began citing
them as inspirations. Things accelerated at a frantic pace. So much so that it all became
too much. In the early 2000s, the trio regrouped in Geneva, redefined its priorities, and
moved closer to the effervescent electro / techno scene. Bernard Trontin replaced Üse
Hiestand on drums.
