L'Étranger (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

L'Étranger was a Canadian punk rock band in the early 1980s.

The band originally consisted of Andrew Cash, Charlie Angus and Peter Duffin. That lineup released two EPs, Innocent Hands in 1982 and Running Out of Funtown in 1984. Subsequently, Angus left the band to form Grievous Angels with drummer Duffin, and was replaced by Bruce PM and Tim Vesely for the band's final EP, Sticks and Stones in 1986.

Following the band's breakup, Cash began performing as a solo artist. His first solo release was a reissue of Sticks and Stones.

Former band member Charlie Angus is the current New Democratic Party Member of Parliament for the Ontario federal riding of Timmins—James Bay. Peter Duffin co-founded acoustic pop band "Barnhouse Static" with Canadian songwriter Kathy Evans.
