PARADE GROUND was formed in 1982 (A time when lots of bands were popping up, and disturbing rock music with a fresh and daring electro sound) by the brothers Pierre and Jean-Marc PAULY starting with more cold wave inspired songs and evolving towards an intelligent electro pop sound avant la lettre.
Their first release came in 1983 under the wings of Daniel B. and Patrick CODENYS from FRONT 242, aware of PARADE GROUNDs talent and potential; they did collaborate to almost all PARADE GROUNDs records and even released some material on MASK Records (FRONT 242s own label in the early days).
