In the early 1980s, Gogol and his band "La Horde" first founded a punk group combining music and happenings, which propelled him into the premises of Hara Kiri under the eye of Professor Choron.
Later, the group was promoting alternative rock that advocated independence and self-production, giving more than 300 concerts throughout France and abroad. Gogol Premier produced a prolific amount of music accumulating larger sales of more than a dozen albums.
Group Influence
Gogol got noticed because of provocative lyrics such as "J’encule". His preferred themes are religion, like on his song "If God was not a Serious Topic"; and politics, like on songs such as "May 88". Gogol intends his concerts to be "anarcho-mystical happenings" where the public is invited to make any fantasies onstage between joy and madness become real.

Gogol Premier, often called the Master or Papunk, performs on stage with different groups:
"La Horde" from 1982, it includes Patrice Diaw (a.k.a. Crawa) with the guitar, and Catherine Machete

The group was composed by Gogol premier (Jacques Dezandre), Patrice Diaw, Denis Diaw and Richard Alexandre; the management was done by Anne-Marie Monville.
