They toured from the 22 December 1972 to mid-1973 to promote their album (wich was given to spectators during shows) and the French ''Underground'' music.

They joined Les Jeunes Artistes Associés wich their goal was to promote the young ''Underground'' bands from Quebec.

They were among the first bands to promote the French ''Underground'' music with Le Match, Sex, Jude 3, Dionysos and many more.
