Background notes

Archive material and source history

Watcha came out of New York in the early 1980s, mixing punk with reggae and funk. They followed it with 'The Speed of Life' in 1983 and 'Four of a Kind' in 1985.

Johnny Genz sang and played guitar, Jeff McAvoy was on drums, and Ric Ocasek handled guitar and vocals too. The band's sound was rough and direct, heard on tracks like 'Concrete Lie' and 'Doc'. Their lyrics often pushed boundaries, a trait clear in songs such as 'Elle dort' and 'Méchant Flou'.

Internal tensions and personal struggles, particularly around drug use, were part of their story. They recorded 'Même L'amour N'évite Pas La Mort' and 'Narrow Minded', leaving behind a small catalog that captured a specific moment in the city's underground.
