Dandelion was a French psychedelic folk band.
The story of Dandelion can be traced back to 1976 when Jean Christophe Graf formed together with Serge Cuenot (future member of the French progressive rock band Ange) the band Ode. This band split after two gigs and Jean Christophe formed Dandelion in 1979 in the French town of Belfort. It consisted of Jean Christophe Graf (guitars, bass guitar and voice), Thierry Weibel (drums and percussion) and Olivier Richardot (keyboards).
Their first album, Dandelion was released in 1979 on the label Le Kiosque D'Orphée and recorded on the Cultural Center of Giromagny with a minimal budget. This album has been reissued by Spanish reissue label Guerssen.
By the 1980s they decided to update their musical style and started playing new wave music, totally different from the style of their first and eponymous album. Their second album, L'Amour Et La Haine, was released in 1981.
The band disbanded on 1983.
