LES SAUTERELLES
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
A Swiss ’60s band that have sometimes been mistakenly identified as a British group due to their 1968 single “Dream Machine,” a quite catchy and enjoyable facsimile of British flower-pop with high harmonies, psychedelic lyrics, and driving guitars. The band had actually been recording since 1965, and established themselves as one of Switzerland’s best and most popular groups. That’s a status that doesn’t confer all that much, Switzerland being a small country, and much of their first LP (1966) was filled with covers of popular rock hits. These were interpreted, however, with a brash energy that makes the record stand out above the scores of similar cover-oriented albums produced around the globe during the era. Les Sauterelles continued recording all the way into the early ’70s, and several of their songs surfaced on collector-oriented reissues in the 1980s. When in summer 1968 Les Sauterelles ruled the Swiss charts with their hit "Heavenly Club", this success marked both their climax and end. Often referred as the "Swiss Beatles", Les Sauterelles had been the undisputed kings of the scene for years. Their breakup heralded a similar fate for most other Swiss "beat bands" who had for years been cruising along in the slipstream of their Anglo-American models, albeit with varying degrees of success.
