Bio:

First The Bolinos,we learned to play guitar listerning to Poison Ivy and Brian Gregory,then The spanish Meatballs and their rendez-vous with Spider X lead by the mysterious Borom Xam,Dalton's,Soucoupes violentes et autres ...
episode Wampas,à repetition,
Le Baron,Flesh,Baron Jive,Theo Hakola,Pilar Stupa,,Manifesto,and some recordings with David J that turned into recording some bass on Love&Rockets's Sweet FA
then, this project, influenced by the late night sessions in the Hills of Silver Lake and the smell of the Magnolia,...i had just finished the Pilar Stupa recordings for the 2nd album and i needed to change my mind... Just then,my friend Naka came from Japan with his longboard to surf in Malibu...i always loved his drumming so that's how it started we just played,the songs came after ....as we lived in a huge house including the studio,everything was easy,we shared the time and the sessions between Paul Wallfish,Le Baron ,Denis Bortek,Jon Brion ect...then Naka returned to Demi semi Quaver in Tokyo and i stayed in LA recording with Betsy Palmer an EP for Sympathy for the record industry before returning to my home town,Paris...;Yvonne who sang with me a few tracks went back to Canada...
Back in Paris,i recorded the soundtrack of a short feature movie called "Le Garde du Corps" by Sandrine Dumas (2003 Berlin Festival Special jury prize for Short feature),played with Loene Carmen from Australia on her french tour dates and a new project now;"Youpi Youpi Yeah": with Joe Hell,Jean Zundel ,Do Caillerez et Dimi Dero,based in Paris,the town we all live in!
