Offenbach is a Canadian blues rock band formed in Quebec in 1969 by Gerry Boulet, Michael Lamonthe, Jr., and Wezo. The band signed with the independent Barclay label in 1972 and released the French album Offenbach Soap Opera. Four years later, A&M provided a record deal and released the band's self-titled album in 1977. Also released that year was Never Too Tender and another self-titled LP. Lamonthe and Wezo left around that time and were replaced by Pierre Lavoie and Norman Kerr (though Kerr left soon after). In 1979, Offenbach recorded Traversion and added more new members, Breen LeBoeuf and John McVale. Four more studio albums followed — En Fusion (1980), Tonnedebrick (1983), Live a Fond D'Train (1984) and Rockorama (1985) — before the band split up in 1986. Recorded live in Montreal, the Offenbach album, Le Dernier Show, appeared in 1986. Gerry Boulet recorded two solo albums, Presque 40s in 1984 and Rendezvous Doux in 1988.
n 1996, McGale, Gravel and Leboeuf reunited as Offenbach Inc. for a reunion tour. Due to Boulet's death, they selected Martin Deschamps, who had recently won Quebec's L'Empire des futures stars competition, as the band's new vocalist. They toured extensively for two years, and released a greatest hits compilation in 1999. A second volume of hits followed in 2002.
In 2005, the band released Nature, which consisted of acoustic versions of their classic hits. It also includes one new song "L'amour est cruel" (Love is cruel). The music was written by Gravel in the 1980s and the words were later added by Deschamps. A concert at Montrteal's Bell Center on April 1, 2005, marked the 25th anniversary of Offenbach's first Forum show.
In 2018, Offenbach released Renaissance the first disc of new material in 33 years.

Offenbach Lyrics
C'est un autre samedi soir
La rue est chaude sous nos pieds
Une nuit d'?t? humide
Pis j'men irai pas m'coucher
Y a ton corps qui me damne
Y a le mien qui se p?me
Y a la ville qui r?clame
Du monde pour la brasser
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
J'ai une semaine de salaire
Dans mes poches que j'veux d?penser
J'ai une semaine de mis?re
Su'l coeur que j'veux rattraper
Y a ton corps qui me damne
Y a le mien qui s'enflamme
Y a la ville qui r?clame
Du monde pour la brasser
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
(solo)
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll pis to?
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
J'ai l'rock n'roll
La rue est chaude sous nos pieds
Une nuit d'?t? humide
Pis j'men irai pas m'coucher
Y a ton corps qui me damne
Y a le mien qui se p?me
Y a la ville qui r?clame
Du monde pour la brasser
A soir faut qu'?a brasse
