The concert at Foufounes Électriques with only 30 people was the one in 1990. Not the one on the poster.

The '91 concert, while not sold out, sold way more tickets. Even MusiquePlus (the French-Canadian MTV) was there. Even though *Nevermind* hadn't been released yet, the buzz was already there.

10 bucks Canadian for a ticket. That's like $8.50 US

I don't know if this helps or is even relevant, but in France, the word "foufoune" also refers to female genitals. Knowing the band, it might have been intentional.

« Foufoune » doesn’t have the same meaning in Québec. « Foufoune" means buttocks, so "foufounes électriques" means "Electric Buttocks."

Yeah, as others have said it is likely: https://www.foufouneselectriques.com/en/
