Beau Dommage was a rock band from Montreal, Quebec, who achieved success in Quebec and France in the 1970s.[1] The group's style included rich vocal harmonies and elements borrowed from folk and country music.

History[edit]

Beau Dommage started in 1972 as an offshoot of the theatrical group "La Quenouille Bleue". Founders Pierre Huet, Robert Léger and Michel Rivard were joined by Pierre Bertrand, Réal Desrosiers and Marie Michèle Desrosiers (no relation).

The group's first album, Beau Dommage, was released in 1974 and broke sales records at the time.[2] The next year, Où est passée la noce? reached Platinum (as awarded by the CRIA before May 1, 2008, 100,000 units) on its first day of sales.[3] The group met with considerable success on its yearly tours of Europe between 1975 and 1978, and also performed on numerous occasions in Quebec and the rest of Canada.

The group disbanded in 1978[4] and reunited in 1984 to perform twice at the Montreal Forum[5] and, from those concerts, produce two live albums.[6] They reunited one last time in 1994 to produce a second self-titled album Beau Dommage and tour Quebec in 1995. They showed up during the 2005 Francofolies in Montreal and were honoured by the other artists.[7]

On 19 July 2013, Canada Post issued an undenominated permanent commemorative postage stamp depicting the seven members of Beau Dommage. It was sold in booklets of 10, or as part of a souvenir sheet of four alongside Rush, the Guess Who, and the Tragically Hip.[8]
