Parade Ground are composed of two brothers Pierre and Jean-Marc Pauly who started performing live in 1981. They were pioneers of Cold Wave and Electronic Body Music. Their style has evolved during the eighties, passing from an icy and radical cold wave to a more dancing sound with noticeable rythmics and exclusively synthetic melodies mixed up with dreamy visual dadaism.
