Stinky Toys

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stinky Toys were a punk band from Rennes, France which started in 1976 and featured:

  • Elli Medeiros,
  • Denis Quilliard, alias Jacno,
  • Hervé Zénouda,
  • Bruno Carone
  • Albin Dériat

One of the first French new wave bands, Stinky Toys are notable for their influence in the history of punk music, having directly inspired Malcolm Maclaren. In 1976 the band took part in the 100 Club Punk Festival in London, sharing the bill with such bands as Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned and Buzzcocks. A single was released in a picture cover on Polydor Records in 1977, "Boozy Creed", with "Driver Blues" on the B-side. After two albums together with little success in 1979 the band split. Elli Medeiros and Jacno then formed the duo, Elli et Jacno.
