Best known for his decade-long tenure fronting the
influential French rock band Telephone, Jean-Louis Aubert
subsequently forged a successful solo career that tackled
more personal themes and more complex musical ideas than
his previous efforts foreshadowed. Born April 12, 1955, in
Nantua, Aubert was the son of a sub-prefect, and raised
largely by his parents' servants. A difficult and
rebellious teenage period followed, and at 16 he
hitchhiked across the U.S., busking on city streets and
singing Rolling Stones covers to survive. Upon returning
to Paris, Aubert befriended bassist Daniel Roux and
drummer Richard Kolinka, with whom he co-founded the band
SΘmolina -- their lone WEA single, "Et J'y Vais DΘjα,"
vanished upon release, however, and the trio quickly
split.
Aubert next entered the musicology program at Paris
University, but remained dedicated to a performing career,
regularly jamming with Kolinka in the cellar of their
home. In late autumn of 1976, Kolinka secured a gig at
Paris' American Centre, but when his steady band was
unable to commit to the date, he and Aubert recruited
guitarist Louis Bertignac and bassist Corine Marienneau to
assemble a set list comprised of classic rock hits and
Aubert's first original compositions. On November 12,
Telephone made their debut performance, playing a largely
improvised set to a few hundred patrons. Loud, snotty, and
defiantly primitive, the band effectively reinvigorated
French rock in one fell swoop. Though by no means the
classic frontman, Aubert nevertheless transcended his
limits as a vocalist and guitarist with sheer aggressive
energy, becoming the poster boy for a new generation of
French rock icons. After a famously raucous March 1977
appearance at the Paris Metro, Telephone toured in support
of British act Eddie & the Hot Rods, followed by a date
opening for the seminal American band Television. A June
8th performance at Paris' Bus Palladium yielded
Telephone's debut single, "Hygiaphone." Six weeks later,
the quartet signed to PathΘ-Marconi, teaming with producer
Mike Thorne for its self-titled debut LP, issued in
November. With the 1979 follow-up, Crache Ton Venin,
Telephone rocketed to superstardom -- the single "La Bombe
Humaine" emerged as a generational anthem, and the album
sold in excess of 600,000 copies, capped off by a
performance at the annual FΩte de l'HumanitΘ in front of
an audience of more than 100,000 people.
Tours of Italy, Spain, and North America followed, and
while in New York, Telephone began work on their third
album, 1981's Au Coeur de la Nuit. After signing to
Virgin, the group released Dure Limite in conjunction with
their June 14, 1982, Paris concert in support of the
Rolling Stones. Another American tour followed, but
creative dissension began to grow, and breakup rumors
reached a fever pitch in the wake of 1984's Un Autre
Monde, as all four members of Telephone began to pursue
solo projects; Aubert contributed to an Ethiopian benefit
LP recorded by the all-star Chanteurs sans FrontiΘres.
Finally, in April 1986 he announced the band's demise -- a
subsequent live LP proved a bestseller around the same
time Aubert and Kolinka reunited with SΘmolina bassist
Daniel Roux under the name Aubert 'n' Ko, releasing the
funk-inspired album Platre et Ciment in 1987. Aubert
launched his solo career in full with 1989's self-produced
Bleu Blanc Vert, an intimate and often pastoral album in
sharp contrast with his work in Telephone. Its 1992
follow-up, H, proved even more idiosyncratic, while a
subsequent tour with Kolinka was documented via the live
effort Une Page de TournΘe. After guesting on a session
headlined by chanson legend Barbara, Aubert returned to
work on his next project, 1997's Stockholm, which featured
cameos by artists as far-ranging as Nigerian percussion
legend Tony Allen and Swedish pop producer Gordon Cyrus.
While the thematic and stylistic changes of each
successive solo record gradually diminished Aubert's fan
base, he nevertheless continued to experiment with sounds
and personnel, and with 2001's Comme un Accord, he made
the first record of his career without contributions from
Richard Kolinka. After a series of self-produced efforts,
Aubert handed the reins to Renaud Letang, previously known
for helming sessions by Manu Chao and Alain Souchon. Upon
topping the French charts in 2003 with "Sur la Route," a
duet with singer Raphael, Aubert resumed work on his next
solo release, 2005's Ideal Standard, recorded in part with
Canadian electroclash producer Gonzales.
