Kas Product

Kas Product made some of the most rigid and needling electronic music of the post-punk era. Based out of Nancy, France, the U.S.-born Mona Soyoc (vocals, guitar, piano) and Frenchman Daniel "Spatsz" Favre (synthesizer, drum programming) debuted in 1980 with a pair of 7" releases for the independent Punk label. Later signed to RCA France, they recorded the LPs Try Out (1982) and By Pass (1983) for the major-label. Soyoc and Favre reappeared on Disc'Az a few years later with the less abrasive Ego Eye (1986). By the time New Rose subsidiary Fan Club compiled early material for Black & Noir (1990), Kas Product were inactive, but they re-formed during the 2000s. Various 2010s reissues recirculated the studio recordings. ~ Andy Kellman
