Petit Cheval South Africa
Biography
Petit Cheval was a New Romantics from Pretoria, South Africa. Their name is French for 'little horse'. The group was founded in Pretoria in 1982 by singer/songwriter Jon Selby and soon after recorded a demo, which landed them a deal with Warner Bros. Records in 1984. Their 1985 debut album was a great success in South Africa, but the increased publicity also led to internal disputes, and bassist Johan Griesel left the group shortly after the album's release.
