Sloche were a 1970s progressive rock[1] band from Quebec, Canada.
The band's name comes from the word used in Quebec for wet snow. It is an English word, 'slush', but is written so as to sound the same in French.[2]
History[]
Sloche was formed in about 1971. The band went through a number of personnel changes before recording their first album, J'Un Oeil, in 1975.[3] The tracks received some radio play in parts of Quebec.[4]
In 1976 the band released their second and final album, Stadaconé; the sound was a mixture of rock and funk.[5][6]
In 2009 the two albums were remastered and re-released.[7]
