Three years after the album "Oscar", THE TRUFFAUTS (meanwhile reduced to a trio line-up) now meet on "Chez Simon", the 13th album by the Nuremberg Chanson Friends, to loosen up their traditional indie rock with pop, garage and a dash of glam rock. THE TRUFFAUTS, named after the director FRANOIS TRUFFAUT, were founded in 1986 in Nuremberg and just one year after the band was founded, their debut album 'Fanny' was released in 1987, which in turn was named after the partner of their namesake. Even then, distorted guitars and lively beats dominated, creating perfect pop songs with seductive harmonies and beguiling melodies. The debut was followed by over ten albums and numerous EPs, which were highly praised by the press and critics from the start.
