Soundcheck rehearsal in Tuebingen Germany 1985
Vietnam Veterans, a psychedelic group from Chalon, France. Only a few film-shorts survived them.
See them here, since most of you missed them live.
The Viet Vets were one of the main attractions of the Neo-Psych movement and a major event in the psych scene of the mid 80s (what was rather small, sadly), with every new record. Today it seems they are lost in time. There are no reissues known by me. Their sound are at first rooting in the 60s Garage sound evolved into a very uniqe mix of Psychedelia through their records.
Hans has a lot of old video stuff! Some have a bad sound and it's a pity but most of it is yet to be seen. I have all of it on VHS but Hans is the boss! Check his "local footage" channel. Some of the stuff can be seen on MySpace too...

Ditto! I'll quote myself, if you may - "The Vets and the Plasticland are the benchmark for post-60s psychedelia. Not only were they truly mind altering but they were magnificent tunesmiths - the classic french songwriting meeting the best of 60s westcoast psych rock!
