WE WILL NEVER SLEEP
Posted on Monday May 11th, 2009 at 19:06 in DEAR DIARY



ENGLISH TRANSLATION: NO NEED FOR INTRODUCTIONS. Since tuesday, I spent almost 15 hours in the train, went to 4 gigs (Blackrain in Annecy, The Sunders, Lyre, and Markize in Nantes), slept less than 10 hours, lived pure rock'n roll nights, the best one being the one of friday with the after we planned with Scread and one of our friends, Simon, to welcome our friends from Lyre in our hometown !! Check the video above ! IT WAS WRITTEN IN BLOOD. Thursday. Woke up at 5:00am. Breakfast, hair, train at 7:30am. Annecy, 3:00pm. Happy to see my friends of Blackrain and to introduce them to people who were here for their gig, the mic in the hand, screaming before they get on stage :D Nothing to say, they're still awesome. White night, train again. Friday, 6:00am. Nantes, 2:00pm. Only a hour and a half to have a shower and get dressed before Scread come to bring me at the Ferrailleur where our friends from Lyre play tonight. Perfect gig from them, the Sunders and Markize. Big after in Simon's house with fans, Lyre and The Sunders guys, and some other people we invited to come. Rock'n roll night with alcohol, laughs, interesting conversations between musician, and some other kinds of things. Saturday was a more peaceful night but it was cool too.. speakin with friends, drinking a bit, and watching the amazing Max dressed in Joker ha ha :) Those days made me feel really happy and alive !! :)

NO NEED FOR INTRODUCTIONS
Depuis jeudi, j'ai passé environ 15h dans le train, assisté à 4 concerts (Blackrain à Annecy, The Sunders, Lyre et Markize à Nantes), ai dormi moins de 10h, passé des soirées de pure folie, la meilleure restant celle de vendredi soir lors de l'after que nous avons organisé Scread, Simon (un ami à Scread qui nous a filé un coup de main plus d'une fois durant nos lives et opérations flying), et moi-même pour les Lyre :) Je vous invite d'ailleurs à checker la vidéo ci-dessus qui retrace ce long week-end sur une musique dont les paroles nous sont chères à Scread et moi-même, Diamonds aren't forever de Bring me the Horizon.

IT WAS WRITTEN IN BLOOD
JEUDI. Levé 5h. Petit dej', coiffure, train à 7h30. Arrivée à Annecy > 15h. Quel plaisir que de revoir les Blackrain, être désigné pour présenter leur concert en hurlant au micro avant qu'ils n'entrent sur scène, parler avec eux et leurs amies, assister à leur performance au Brise-Glace d'Annecy. Rien à redire, ils sont toujours aussi bons. Nuit blanche, reprise du train VENDREDI à 6h. Arrivée à Nantes à 14h. Une heure trente à peine pour me doucher / changer que c'est reparti avec un Scread qui débarque chez moi afin de m'emmener au Ferrailleur où nos potos de Lyre jouent le soir même. Excellent concert entre les Sunders, un groupe de rock nantais qui dépotte sérieusement, les Lyre qui ne sont plus à présenter et avec qui je chantais ce soir-là sur leur reprise metal de Maniac, BO du film Flashdance, et les Markize, groupe de goth metal mélodique dirigé par la voix enchanteresse d'Alina ! :) Par la suite, gros after chez Simon avec beaucoup d'alcool et de gens sympathiques (les zikos de Sunders, Lyre, Scread et moi-même, ainsi que quelques fans et gens invités lorsque nous étions au ferrailleur). Une nuit rock'n roll comme il se doit, des coups de poing pris dans les épaules et le postérieur par Kaz' et Ayrton, pour le fun (paie ton Simply en mode fight club), des verres de sky, vodka, et OASIS TROPICAL (Simon, le mec qui gère :D). Bref, des émotions fortes, de l'entertainement, des discussions intéressantes et enrichissantes entre musiciens, une soirée et une nuit parfaite qui se finirent par le départ des Lyre le lendemain (étant actuellement en tournée avec Markize partout en France), après un copieux petit dej' servi d'une main de maître par Simon. SAMEDI. Une autre soirée, bien plus posée, à discuter avec Scread et quelques un des ses amis, je pense notamment à Peech, Vincent, Julia et le génialissime Max déguisé en Joker. Bref, ces derniers jours m'ont fait un bien fou.

YOU WERE AMAZING
It was two fucking powerful days spent in gigs between Nantes on friday with BLISS and Lille on saturday with our friends of LYRE :) Can't write everything I'd like cuz it would never be enough to tell you how good it was !!! We've been astonished by our fans from Nantes who, in spite of the lack of bus and tramways this day, came only with their feet to see us playin' ! o___O Thank you so much, you can't imagine how it was great to see you there ! I didn't expect that for this night, and really, you got me ! :) Nantes, my hometown, the place where we like to be with Scread.. to share our energy with persons like you.. it's beyond imagination. Thank you. One and a half hour of sleeping later becuz of an insomnia, I was waking up, having breakfast with Scread and then, we were taking the train for Lille ! :o The night was awesome too cuz we played with our freaky friends from LYRE and cuz fans from north of France are probably the craziest and most energistic I have ever seen ha ha ! You rock ! :D Well, it was really a perfect week-end to me !

SICKNESS, TIREDNESS, HAPPINESS ANYWAY !
I'm ill. After one week breaking my voice, get my body tired and acting beyond my own limits, I'm so sick and tired but amazingly happy :) It was a great moment, sharing this whole week with my undead bro and zombie drummer, Scread Seventh, working hand into hand, sharing the same blood for this album which gonna be fucking kickass, and for "No escape" videoclip :) I'm curing myself with a lot of medical stuff, but that's ok. I just sleep a lot (and you know how I hate this, being inactive > _ <) That why I wasn't here a lot those last day, too much busy and now ill grrr... Well, we don't care, the important is that things go in a good way ! :D Each week, don't hesitate to check the NO ESCAPE VIDEOCLIP gallery on myspace, I will regularly update new pics from the videoclip recording ! :)

CURSED
Sometimes I think I'm just good at creating and do what I do in my work + music, and that I can't fall in love or have someone for me. There is no girl to make that piece of cold flesh beating in my chest, and when it's the case, something happens and it fails before getting started. Ever. It's like I was cursed. I don't really care now cuz my job and creations take a lot of my time. Moreover, I use to live with that.. but that's strange anyway , don't you think ?

GIGS OF THE WEEK
This week we have two gigs in France. One in Nantes, on friday, at Le Ferrailleur, and another one in Lilles, on saturday, at La Chimère. Can't wait for this even if I'm still sick ! But as always, I'd be ok for getting on stage !!!! :)

LET'S RECORD !!!
Five days to record drums and vocals for our first album with Scread, two for No Escape's videoclip recording in a huge mansion with about 30 persons to play in, this week was totally awesome ! Broken voices, hurt fingers, aching bodies, but smiling faces at the end cuz we were born for this and this was joyful ! A lot of pictures are to come about the videoclip recording. We think make the videoclip available in june / july and the cd in september. Stay simplyd4rknetized, follow the news here, stay active and get ready cuz this album will be different and fucking better than everything made till now by my own from my little room ha ha ;) It gonna sounds professionnal, me and Scread gave the best of ourselves while recording, and there will be new songs like Fight World ! :)

SHOCKER X
Posted on Thursday April 09th, 2009 at 11:14 in CULTURE / LEISURE


ENGLISH TRANSLATION: SHOCKER X is a four members band from Argentina who plays a melodic and powerful music with rock"n hardcore rythms on metal guitars, surrounded by the sensual and/or aggressive voice of Ban Lesage (we feel death / hardcore influences ^^), singer / screamer of the band who has a great style. I don't use to have often music crushes, but that's the case here with that visual core band ! Some links to discover them : THEIR OFFICIAL MYSPACE | DOWNLOAD THEIR E.P "SHOCK THIS"

SHOCKER X est un quatuor argentin qui offre une musique puissante et mélodique, aux rythmes rock et hardcore sur fonds de grosses grattes bien métal, le tout couvert par la voix tantôt sensuelle, tantôt enragée (et bien imprègnée de la culture death / hardcore) de Ban Lesage, chanteuse et screameuse au look bien affirmé. Je n'ai que rarement des coups de coeur musicaux, mais là j'ai totalement accroché à ce groupe de visual core ! Quelques liens ci-dessous pour les découvrir :
