Lou Champagne System is the one-man-band brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Lou Chamgagne whose 1984 LP 'No Visible Means' was a unique guitar/synth dominated pop style a la Nash The Slash.
Later he would play with the act Wild Abandon (Russ Watson and Tony Wachnuick) as well as The Scientists (Brian Docherty and Tony Wachnuick) in the Hamilton and Southern Ontario region.
Recently, there has been a resurgence of interest in his music in Europe thanks to some devoted fans and the inclusion on 'Reminscent' a German compilation of popular 80s indie synth bands. Sealed copies of 'No Visible Means' can fetch up to $200 on Ebay.
Champagne currently runs the Lou Champagne Systems Inc. technologies company out of Oakville, Ontario.
