Les Megatones

Canadian band from Québec city. First performing in extracurricular activities at the "Collège Des Jésuites" in Québec City, they made their real debut at the "Centre de loisirs Saint-Sacrement". This venue then hosted, every Saturday afternoon, "Le Cabaret Des Jeunes" radio program, broadcast on CHRC 80. Then bearing the name "Thunderbirds", they were renamed "Atomic" by the show's host, Jacques Boulanger. This is how the name of "Les Mégatones" first made itself known on the radio before becoming famous on records. The name refers to the atomic bomb in addition to being bilingual, in case they would make an American career.
Michel Verreault (saxophone, vocals (1963-1966)) was also a member of the band.
