Triangle

Made up of musicians already experienced in various bands in the 1960s, the French progressive rock band Triangle enjoyed success during its brief existence. Originally - as their name suggests - a trio made up in 1967 of Gérard Fournier dit "Papillon" (bass and vocals, ex-member of Les Lionceaux with Herbert Léonard), Pierre Fanen (guitarist, ex-Les Kelton) and Jean-Pierre Prévotat (drums, ex-Les Players), the group hired a new guitarist, Alain Renaud, for the recording of their first single, "Listen People", released in 1969 on the Odeon label (EMI). The following single, "Élégie à Gabriel" (1970), saw the band evolve with the arrival of François Jeanneau (keyboards, saxophone, flute) and Paul Farges (guitar). The latter was quickly replaced by Marius "Mimi" Lorenzini for the recording of a debut album that reached a wide audience with the success of the single "Peut-être demain", which the group performed in Claude Zidi's comedy film Les Bidasses en folie, with the Charlots. Triangle (1970), awarded the Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles-Cros, is a blend of French pop, jazz rock and progressive rock inspired by the British Canterbury school. Featuring contributions from Jean-Michel Jarre (synthesizer), Aldo Romano, Henri Texier and François "Faton" Cohen, the second album, driven by the single "Viens avec nous", was very well received in 1972, between the releases of the singles not included, "Les Brumes de Chatou" (1971), "Le Temps des tams-tams" (1972) and "L'Arbre de juin " (1973), with backing vocals by Daniel Balavoine (then a member of the group Présence). Despite a strong audience, which led to Triangle opening for Robert Charlebois at the Olympia, artistic differences led to the departure of Gérard Fournier, who was replaced by René Devaux on bass and Denis Duhazé, also a guitarist, on vocals. The new line-up, which included Jean-Pierre Prévotat, François Jeanneau and Marius Lorenzini, recorded the farewell album Homonymie (1973) at London's Abbey Road studios, a more jazz-oriented album featuring violinist Stéphane Grappelli. A final 45-tour, "Un Ticket pour...", was released in 1974 shortly before the group's dissolution. On January 3, 1989, Gérard Fournier died of septicemia at the age of 42. The compilations L'Intégrale 1969/1973 (1997), Viens Avec Nous (1997) and Anthologie 1969/1974 (2003) are released before the deaths of Jean-Pierre Prévotat on January 27, 2011 at the age of 65, and Marius Lorenzini on December 12, 2014 at the same age.
