Rod BARTHET Biographie

Rod a 3 ans quand il assiste à son premier concert rock.

A 14 ans, il crée son premier groupe Final Blast (tendance hardcore) et crie son indignation face à la société bourgeoise de consommation.

A 20 ans, Rod suit pendant un an les cours du CMCN (une école de musique de Nancy) et décide de devenir professionnel. Il apprend l'harmonie, le chant, la lecture et la composition.

Ils jamment avec tous ces nouveaux amis et font circuler dans la ville une démo du groupe qui arrive chez John Lee Hooker lui-même qui les appelle pour leur proposer de faire sa première partie (qu'ils foirent complètement à cause de la pression). Mais Rod, invité dans la maison du maître, a pu, ébloui, discuter deux heures avec « Mr Boom Boom ».
