Les Foufounes Électriques

Les Foufounes Électriques is a club and concert venue located at 87 Saint Catherine Street East in the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada in a neighbourhood known as the Quartier Latin , now part of the Quartier des spectacles entertainment district. It is a multi-level establishment with two concert spaces and a dance floor. The club opened in 1983 and became a centre for underground music, Underground art and culture in Montreal.
In 1983, Norman Boileau, François Gourd and Bernard Paquet, 3 friends from the same musical theatre group, decided to open a bar which would also serve as a place to showcase burgeoning alternative musicians and different types of art. Some of the more notable early art performances included applying paint to human canvasses as well as the walls of the club itself - these sessions were known as "Peinture en Direct" . The club's inner decor includes graffiti covered walls and strange sculptures. According to Gourd, the bar did not turn much of a profit and he sold his share in the club after 5 years. By the end of the 80s, Boileau was the only remaining owner.
