French progressive and psychedelic rock band with folk influences, Alice was formed in 1970 by Alain Suzan (vocals, bass, organ), Claude Olmos (guitar, ex-5 Gentlemen and Alan Jack Civilization), Jean-Pierre Auffredo (saxophone, flute, violin), Sylvain Duplant (bass) and Jean Falissard (drums). Previously known for playing at the Amougies festival under the name We Free, the new line-up, which took the name Alice, signed with the libertarian jazz and rock label Byg Records and produced a first single entitled "De l'autre côté du miroir", before recording an untitled album featuring the following single " Le Nouveau monde", among other psychedelic-influenced folk and rock vocal and instrumental pieces. In 1971, after the single "Je voudrais habiter le soleil", there were a number of musician changes, with Claude Olmos and Jean-Pierre Auffredo moving on to other bands, and Jean Falissard going solo, making a name for himself with his own songs at the turn of the decade. Meanwhile, with British singer and guitarist Ian David Jelfs, Paul Scemama (guitar), Luc Bertin (keyboards) and Alain Weiss (drums), Alice set to work for the Polydor label on their second album, recorded in French under the title Arrêtez le Monde (1972) and in English under the title All Ice. When the group disbanded the following year, Alain Suzan collaborated with François Wertheimer, Emmanuel Booz, Gomina, Sabrina Lory, William Sheller, Yves Simon and, after a brief solo adventure, formed the Look de Paris quartet in 1980. Tetraplegic and mute after an overdose of alcohol and drugs in 1989, Ian David Jelfs shares his life with singer Valérie Lagrange, who dedicated the book Une vie pour une autre (2000) to him.
