La Place

Rock band based in Paris, France (1989-1997)

At 16, Julien Civange and school friend Louis Haeri created the rock band La Place. In its very first version the band sounds like a mix of punk energy and funk music.

David Bowie who wanted the "best beginners band of the moment" invited La Place as an opening band for his concert with Tin Machine at la Cigale (1989).

Following a Tour Sauvage and hundreds of live shows before various change of line-up and 4 years stuck in a basement, from which they emerge to make 7 concerts with the Simple Minds (april-may 1995). Two months after, they were invited by the Rolling Stones at the Olympia (July 1995).

After this concerts, the band who had never had a label until then signed with an indie one (La Bande Son Canal +) and recorded their first and last album. Their ultimate glimpse of the music industry they had often hijacked was the featuring of the multi-million record seller Guy-Manuel Homem de Christo from Daft Punk and DJ friends as the opening of their last concert at la Cigale (Paris) in 1997
