July 2004

BRAIN EATERS, that's the story of 4 unbalanced psychotics, coming straight from outer-space. BRAIN EATERS, that's 3 musiciens who play a pretty good and powerfull Garage-Rock. BRAIN EATERS, that's an amazing stage-act singer, a kind of devastating hybrid between ROCHEE SARNO and LUX INTERIOR.

Well, BRAIN EATERS are a really good stuff ... except if you got a brain, of course!

We will work on it in September. It's just a problem of disponibility and a problem of studio.

The french rock 'n' roll, garage, surf ,punk and psych scene is very flourishing. There are some very good bands in all the places of the France (Marseille , Bordeaux, Rennes, Paris, Besancon, Metz ...etc).
Unfortunately the lack of structures and public slows down the concerts and obliges the bands to play outside France... snif....
