Edith Nylon is a French group formed in 1977 and composed of Mylène Khaski, Christophe Boutin, Isaac Khaski aka "Zako Khaski", Laurent Perez called "Karl Mormet" and Albert Tauby.
The name, Edith Nylon, would be a contraction in reference to Edith Piaf and the muse of the New York punk movement namely Judy Nylon.
A group that first stood out in 1978 by rock show hosts Alain Maneval when they took part in a springboard organized at Golf Drouot. Highlight that allows them to sign at CBS.
They released a first title of the name of the group in 1979, which enjoyed great esteem. Followed by few "Femmes sous cellophane". Two Singles which do not go unnoticed and which allow the group to figure among the phenomena of the moment.
Unfortunately, the bellows will fall as quickly as it is mounted and the two albums which will be released thereafter, "Johnny, Johnny" in 1980 and "Echo, Bravo" in 1982, will meet only with meager success.
While we thought we would never see them again, they will reappear as if by magic at the start of the 2020 decade, a return that is unexpected to say the least and which will greatly delight core fans...

Tracks :
1979 ... the beginnings of a small group which will pass like a shooting star in the French musical landscape of the 80s. And yet this group could have, and should have, done great things given what they offer us already in 1st title !
1979 ... a group which will know its hour of glory - ephemeral - with this title. A group that really should have continued the adventure further but fate will have judged otherwise ...
1979 ... the sound is trendy, even if the style is particularly punchy, the style is inspired. Everything you needed to do great things ...
1980 ... they will attempt the transition to the 1980s. Unfortunately, an attempt will quickly end. Pity...
1980 ... an exit through the front door. They unquestionably sign one of their best titles here, proving once again that there was talent in this group ...
1980...come on, the adventure won't quite end there but it's clear that the rest will go much more unnoticed...
1980...competition will become formidable at the start of the decade and the group will not be able to find a place in the sun as he should have...
1980...they just missed the little nudge from destiny that could have changed everything. A little help that will never happen unfortunately...
1982...they will continue to believe in it, regardless of whether it is successful or not. A desire to believe in it until the end which is nice to see in any case...
1982...the last title of the decade and the last title in short. This time the group has decided to throw in the towel and nothing and no one will change that...
2023...at least that's what everyone thought at the time but it was a shame to know them because here they are again ! Who would've believed that possible...
2023...it will have taken them 40 years to come back but they are definitely here, to the delight of the core fans who still can't believe it...
2023...so will this new opus mark the rebirth of the group or a simple, furtive last stand ? The future will tell us...
Top Bonus : 2020...that's what we call having beautiful leftovers ! The group is back and it shows, above all it can be heard !
Top Bonus : 2022...the herald of the group's rebirth. Let's hope it's not just a damp squib...
