Diary of the Rock Cunts

The Year 2002

2009-09-29T11:57:00.003+02:00

The Year 2002 after J.C.

April : Spring of a legend
Gig in the City of HOUYET (Fente/Slit), Stationbar, Etron is managed by an old rockbitch with a nice ass of a girl of fifteen.
Recordings of the Pink Turds album, 7 rocksongs, featuring Sir Octopussy on drums. In a studio located in the middle of the Belgian nowhere, Etron endures the presence of nonsense silent, blond and scrawny Scandinavian heavy metal shitface. During one of the singing sessions Etron pronounces the magic words “Bloody pussy”, and the sleepy brains of the viking suddenly awake. Strange.

May : King for a day
Broadcast of the ETRON-song "Poupoup" on ROCK-A-GOGO, Radio 21, during 4 full weeks.
Gig in the DNA, a (s)low activity concertbar in Brussels.
2 gigs in bar ARTOMANIE, Brussels, with braindammaged managers.
Review in the flamish (fascist) ROCK TRIBUNE by journalist BRAMSKi, who would actually later become wingcommander of the Etron-tours. Mister BRAMSKi has also activities in private pornmovies.

June : Marketing is everything
Mister PONPON, boss of ROCK-A-GOGO, invites Etron for a live interview. A violent quarrel brakes up live between Etron’s members when it appears that interpretations of Etron’s goals are diversified. Everything is almost finished for the band, when the stupid beard-face of Jérome Colin appears. Common enemies makes strong alliances and the band goes on!

July with the Iguane
Gig at the SUGARFESTIVAL of the city Tienen, with Iggypop. After a poor performance on the small stage in the afternoon, Etron shows up at the security with their instruments, pretending to be Iggy’s musicians. They get escorted to the backstage VIP area for a drink at the bar. The arrival of the genuine musicians after a while spoils the magic.
JULES BERNS, Master of Propaganda, directs the video clip for “Ambulance” song.

September : Death of a Clown
After months of humiliating agony, Octopussy dies of brains cancer.Despite the pain, Etron goes on and gives birth of the NEO-ETRON SHOW.

October : Rock & (ugly) Folk
Gig at BEARROCK (Sclayn-Namur), in the frame of a rock contest. First presentation of the Neo-Etron. Etron doesn’t know what competition means. Competitors are insignificant.
An egghead guy, kind of a bold screaming womb, appears to be the singer of a band named “Moron Carnival Cream” (or something like that). He is obviously nervous and pushing the members of Etron in the back with little animal groans. He feels small, stuck in an unfair situation.
There is also a guy called “Redboy”, leading a lowlife band. What the fuck is that?!
Broadcast of the songs Joy and Bitch (radio 21).

November : Rise & Fall
Gig in the CABARET VOLTAIRE (Binche). This gig is combined with the legendary Etron photo session with star photographer G. Van Bellinghen.
Gig in The PALACE (La Louvière) in the frame of the above mentioned rock contest.
Feeling they had no chances to impress in a huge empty hall, Etron try to corrupt the members of the jury (as successfully done with a piece of pizza in Sclayn), but with no success.
Etron’s gig is an inscrutable failure; the band crashes like an old Lada in fire in the gutter.
Later on in the evening, a band, don’t remember the name (a nigger behind the drums), plays a song called “je ne veux pas aller à l’hopital”. What the fuck is that?!

The Year 2003

2009-09-28T12:02:00.003+02:00

The Year 2003 after J.C.

January
Recording of the BLACK BITCH album, 9 songs.
At a gig of the Libertines in Brussels, Etron meets the little sodomit-bassist of FLEXA LYNDO. He’s so cute. Etron's first gay feeling! Actually, Child Focus is looking for him.
About the gig of the Libertines (tour-exhausted young guys), Flemish press made an echo to Etron’s altercation with them, calling Etron hooligans (“soort zoekt sort”) for that little story of stage invasion... The manager of the cool lechers told Etron to get the fuck away and to let his “protégés” with rest. So they got it.

February
Gig at the KINKYSTAR (Gent). No comment, see pictures on http://www.kinkystar.com/.

March
Gig at the Youthhouse of Bertem (Leuven). Carried away by their music, Etron are fighting and rolling. The teens love it, but sadly Etron has to leave stage for a band of shit-old fellows with accordions (Vloem heil!).
In the meanwhile Radio 21 holds his daily radioshow at the Passage 44 in the frame of a moviefestival, when suddenly Etron jumps in to scream like hell in the mics. Fucking ponpon, so pissed! But the old man is not resentful.
In the same month Etron is told by Mister CARLO DI ANTONIO 's organisation (Trempolino de Dourfestival) that they cannot enter the contest because of their ethnical origin.

Chère Delphine,
ETRON ignorait que le Tremplin était un programme d'aide sociale financé par la mafia locale.Votre politesse élégante nous touche profondément.

Un premier tremplin accessible a été organisé en collaboration avecCourt-Circuit, il s'agissait du concours circuit qui a permis de qualifier trois groupes pour jouer à Dour en 2003.Nous organisons maintenant un deuxième tremplin pour les groupes du Hainaut.C'est une manière de faire participer les groupes de la région Ã leur festival.Ces explications pour votre information et au cas où vous n'auriez pas tous les éléments.Pour le reste si vous trouvez que notre stratégie n'est pas bonne nous aimerions que vous nous en informiez de manière un peu plus polie et respectueuse.Venant d'un groupe Bruxellois, considérer qu'aider les groupes du Hainaut est une opération sociale démontre un mépris et une suffisance remarquables.Quant à l'allusion à la mafia locale, elle montre l'estime que vous portez pour ce que nous faisons.Mais si vous n'aimez ni notre région, ni notre organisation que viendriez vous faire à Dour ?Dites moi.Bien à vous

On a visit in Liège, the Burning City, Etron is hoping to find some gigs in this fucking lazy country. They meet the so-called REDBOY again (but what the fuck is that shit?). Despite the name of his cover band, the man doesn’t like sex shows and wants Etron to leave his lair, refusing their offer of a good fresh beer to cool down. Etron discovered on that day that REDBOY is kind of the fancy chief of a thing called “COLLECTIF JAUNE ORANGE”. But what the fuck is that?

April
Gig in the CHARLATAN (Gent), with live recording. The boss is a kind of pirate, a nice one.
A reincarnation of Elvis burns down one of Etron'st amps. Funny scene.

Opening of Etron Website.

November rain
Etron’s clockwork is in malfunction because of a fucking landlord who’s a fucking liar, a fucking thief Judgefucker!Gay-neighbour complains about the noisy heterosexual life of the band oblige Etron to move their recording studio-loft. They find shelter in the niggerhood and build a place known as The Cube. Quickly, the engine starts again, more powerful than ever.

Gig at the B52 (Eernegem, Flandria). The boss is Mister Franky. Damn, he is a good guy. There is a girl, not pretty, not skinny, smoking a lot of joints. She’s pissed on Etron, because she can't get the sex she wants.
Birth of the video clip for "Broken Leg" by J.B.

March : More Mondanités
Willing for a record contract Etron is visiting some Majors like EMI, BMG, PIAS…Guys over there are either arrogant and treat people like beggars, or completely dumb. Fuck them man, fuck them all, except one guy from BMG who’s a nice guy.
Etron visits the “Boutique Rock” (a yearly belgo-rock-who”s-who wankers meeting) at “The Botanique”. Discussion with Mister SUSHI from a band called GHINSUSHI. The poor guy can’t accept that his music is considered boring and uninspired by Etron. John Starmiasme is vexed to the bone. Excellent.
Etron also meets the guy from a band called Mudflow. He is nicely drunk and funny. He admits that his music is not over the top. We all agree.
Etron meets Mister DECOSTER, a miserable tasteless producer, failed musician style. Bad communication.
Etron performs great in the MANOIR (Namur) along with American band FUCK. Despite a heavy altercation between the two, because Etron interrupted the "magician-show" of FUCK.
Mister DECOSTER is present, rage-green man unplugging Etron's amp during the performance!Journalist POTKOL made an article about this event. Some people said afterwards the attitude of Etron might be not a rock attitude. Strange damn, what a weird feeling.

The year 2005

2009-09-26T14:32:00.006+02:00

The Year 2005 after J.C.

January : Illusion vs. Reality
Dark Dog Records signs Etron for NECRODOGS, their first official release.
Billy Jr. slowly builds friendship with Mr. J. Delvaux, head of famous music webmagazine pop-rock.com. After a first encounter at D'Hiver Rock Festival in Tournai the guy invites Etron to Boutik Rock for an on-the-spot interview. Insights of the band, along with clarifications of public rumours, are to be brought to light on the poprock site.
Meanwhile, Alex STEVENS from a thing called 'Nameless', and to whom Etron politely asked a critic :
"Chers Etron,C'est bien de s'amuser avec les gosses (read : pop-rock.com) mais moi j'ai mieux à faire que de rentrer dans vos jeux. Et puis je me fous bien de tes considérations. Je me fous bien aussi de tout lobbyiste m'envoyant des e-mails. Félicitations par ailleurs pour le beau français comme on en voit rarement par "courriel".Alex"
Does this guy suffer from dysmenorhia?

February : Angels in hell
"The rats, the cats. The animal taste of sand. Demise".
Violent psychopaths, seen lurking around dark private SM clubs, Nazi chicken head-choppers, Etron shows up at Boutik Rock again. They are welcomed by J. Delvaux who informs them on how terrifically bad their reputation in the "milieu" is : on top of having heard of the above mentioned description, he has been urged by his "friends" not to talk to the band, and above all not to mention them at all (to avoid giving them the publicity they desperately look for). Showing independence and integrity, the interested good guy nevertheless leads the interview, nicely drunk and nervous - yet pertinent as usual. On the next day he sends a request for Etron's lyrics to illustrate the interview.

A few hours later Etron receives a second mail :
"Je viens de visionner vos vidéos... C'est encore pire que ce que jepensais. Il n'y a pas de mots.Comment se fait-il que vous n'ayez pas encore eu d'ennuis avec la Justice ?Il n'est plus nécessaire de m'envoyer la pochette ou les paroles de"Necrodogs". Au vu de ceci, je ne peux rien faire pour vous. Je nepeux décemment pas envoyer les gens visionner de telles atrocités.C'est dommage car la musique est bonne.Au revoir,
Jérôme DelvauxPop-rock.beResponsable du site "

Showing independence and integrity, Mr. Delvaux decides not to talk to/mention Etron anymore. Previous references to the band are removed from the rock site.

Etron meets DADAVO (neon judgment). Deception.

March : Back to the Egg
Release of NECRODOG album, for sale online, in shops in Brussels (Fnac) and in Ghent.
Etron removes "Stephany" video from etron.be for a determined period.
Gig at "Bouli Boulo" blue bar, Brussels.
Etron is back in The Cube for the writing of their next album to be published in July.
Etron meets DOPE MASSACRE, a nice hawker descended from a decadent Elvislike lost rockworld. People should be inspired by this man.
Etron meets the BULLOCK BROZ. at their gig in Brussels, stage invasion, fucking and screaming.
The keyboard operator of the band, a kind of Jaba the Hutt with a long dark cape of Batman, has to intervene with silkiness.

April
Broadcast of a Necrodog song on PURE FM by Ponpon.
Gig in a strange hidden dark place in Brussels. Some people ask if Etron has a problem with girls.
Gig at the B52 (Eernegem). Etron realize they forgot their drum-machine home. The gig is about to start when a magic drummer appears to save the show. HAZY is a man from a band called DEAD POETS. ETRON performs great with him and JULES BERNS makes a short propaganda movie about it.
Chronicle about the NECRODOG album on the websites adecouvrirabsolument.com (contents some false information) on 6bears.com, on Backstage and on a webzine called Muziczine.net (chronicle by Enzo Porta which makes you think the band is racist). Etron asked stupid Enzo the right to answer, but received no piece of news from these craven fuckers.
Jérôme Delvaux once again performs a brilliant U-turn in opinion about Etron, and finally publishes a review of Necrodogs on his controversial site.
Etron receives critics from monsieur Roland LETHEM, an old engaged provocateur and moviemaker from the 70’s. About Etron videoclips (abstract) :
"Là , ça m'amuse encore moins. C'est tout à fait gratuit et d'un machisme quejamais, je ne cautionnerai.Dans les deux cas, ce sont les faibles qui encaissent les coups. Unepoulette, parce que c'est une poulette ; une bonne femme parce que c'est unebonne femme et, accessoirement, une pute. Désolé, mais je n'ai rien contreles putes ni contre les faibles, bien au contraire".

May
ETRON distributes Necrodogs album at the Nuits Botaniques in Brussels. People are like beggars, happy to receive a free thing. Shit. Etron meets DOPE MASSACRE again who gives a one-hour lesson : “how to be an insane rocker”. Cool, the man ends up wrapped in toilet paper. Etron meets a guy from a band called MONTEVIDEO. He has a strange face damn.

June: Meeting eggheads
Gig in Mechelen.
Etron drinks a beer.
Etron is beaten up by a pack of 20 neo-Nazis in Flandria. The brainless children of Little Mustache are still alive.

July : Inside the Silence of the Cube
Etron works and drinks like hell.
DELVAUX publishes an article about Etron, announcing the next album (abstract) :
"Interrogés sur les raisons de leur mise à l'écart par l'ensemble de la profession locale (qui a poussé Etron à créer son propre label, Dark Dog Records), Billy Jr. est catégorique : " Nous ne sommes pas médiatisés parce que d'une part nous faisons peu d'effort pour l'être, et de l'autre parce que les médias sont frileux et incohérents, à l'image de la grande masse populaire". Au sujet des groupes belges qui percent en ce moment, son avis est plus tranché encore : " La musique de Ghinzu est nulle et le 'charismatique' Stargasm a une tête à claques. Le succès de son groupe, mais aussi de Girls in Hawaii ou Hollywood Porn Stars, reste pour nous un mystère existentiel tant leurs compositions manquent d'imagination et d'intégrité ". Plus encore que ces formations phares, c'est l'ensemble de la scène belge qu'il se plait à décrire dans son habituel style fleuri : " le rock belge francophone est minable, petit, timide, banal. Pas un poil d'originalité, d'aventure, d'émotion ou d'audace. Le sang est pourri. Il faut regarder une autre réalité en face : personne n'aime cette musique, et personne n'en a rien Ã foutre, à part cette pitoyable clique constituée par les musiciens eux-mêmes, leurs familles et leurs amis qui s'auto-congratulent et se font de belles pipes mutuelles parce qu'il faut bien un peu de réconfort quand on produit de la fiente et qu'on le sait ". Il poursuit en prenant un air dégouté : " Ce sont les germes de la décadence. L'ennui les tue. Leur existence est un crachat sur la joie. Ces asticots maladifs ont un petit trou dans le bide, comme une petite plaie infectée de laquelle ils sortent, s'aidant de leur petite pine, une espèce de filament nauséabond." Au sein d'une scène aussi aseptisée, le franc-parler coloré d'Etron est rafraîchissant. Leur nouvel album sera disponible Ã la mi-aout. On espère qu'il sera aussi percutant que le discours de ses auteurs..." (31/07/05)

August : The Little Boots' agony
The above-quoted text has a direct effect on the minibrains of the actors of the Walloon 'rock' scene. Example, on sacrésbelges.be :
"c'est votre avis... - 17/08/2005par sergio "gendarme" anorak (sergio@anoraksupersport.com)
...et je le respecte ! Toutefois, je vous conseille malgré tout de retourner bosser dans votre beau local de répète et d'arrêter de croire à toutes ces conneries du style "protection des médias" pour certains groupes... C'est totalement absurde ! Je pense que bon nombre de groupes pensent qu'ils font la meilleure musique du monde et que les labels qui ne les signent pas sont tous des pourris à la solde de je ne sais quoi et/ou qui, des enculés et des batards de leur mère ! Je me permet simplement de préciser qu'en ce qui concerne anorak supersport, il s'agit avant tout d'une aventure où le côté "humain" est aussi important que le côté artistique et le talent (subjectif, je vous l'accorde). Toutefois, vu la tournure de vos messages, anorak supersport ne pourrait jamais travailler (et faudrait d'abord aussi qu'on soit fans de votre musique) avec etron. Ce ramassis de mauvaise foi et de provoc' à 10 cents me casse un peu les couilles Ã vrai dire ! (vous remarquerez au passage que moi aussi je sais ajouter par-ci, par-là de jolis mots grossiers afin de faire plus rock'n'roll et/ou plus djeun). Pour conclure, je dirais simplement que si vous ne supportez pas qu'il existe d'autres groupes (signés ou pas) que le vôtre, foutez simplement la paix à ceux qui y trouve leur compte. Et surtout, comme je le disais plus haut, retournez bosser vos compos qui, à vrai dire, ne volent pas très haut ! ps : je vous emmerde"sergio - 17/08/2005
par jimmyalors là totalement d'accord avec l'ami sergio. Etron est jaloux de voir que eux n'arrivent pas aux baskets de nos sacrés belges. C'est tout. Alors pour tenter de se faire connaitre, il lache un ramassis de conn***** et ils se font connaitre. Or c'est en mal qu'on parle d'eux. Donc d'un côté ils auraient mieux fait de la fermer. En tout cas sergio on est tous derrière toi.le lien de Greg - 04/08/2005
par un sacré belgeA bannir de notre pays : le groupe Etron. Leur album sort à la mi aout. Il ne faut en aucun cas l'acheté. Son discours à propos des groupes belges est un discours de jalousie. ETRON AU BUCHER
Damn, what a strange feeling to be hated by unknown people for no reason…
PS : all these texts have been erased from the site by the fat and humanlover Sergio Anorak. He's a straight man.

September
Release of the album DECADENCE OF THE FURIANS, 12 new songs. Etron offers it for free download on their website.An overview of the album can be found on www.pop-rock.com.After 7 months, previous album Necrodogs is still to be listened in the Fnac. Is it a curse? Other albums of the listening-device are broken. Strange.

Propaganda movie about Etron Baltic Tour, by J.B.
After having their instruments healed, Etron hides in the Cube again in to prepare their next album.
Inviting an “alternative” new Belgian label (Stilll) to discover their universe, Etron receivesa prompt answer :
"Hi, As i am a hard defenser of animal rights, I will denounce your stupid videowith the chicken to Gaya and make sure they'll ban it. It's a perfect imageof non creative process...By the way, your music sucks, I have been listening to a lot of crappydemos lately but I think yours is definitly the winner of the most shittyone. Cheers".

Gig in Mouscron at El BarAbout this gig, on the net :

BOYCOTT
Ce samedi 10 décembre 2005, le groupe bruxellois ETRON sera sur la scène du El BAR à Mouscron (Rue R. Salengro n2) dans le cadre de la Gothikk night party organisée par le kollectif kokalane VS Class X to a BLC release.
Nous menons une campagne visant l'annulation de ce concert et cela au vu de vidéos de tortures animales présentes sur leur site www.etron.be
Soutenez le combat !!!"
Great gig. ETRON meets ARISTOTE, a kind of noisy look-old-except-the-blink ecolo punk-dreamer with Tati-trowsers.
Billy & Suzy receive vegan-food. The next day, they are completely sick. Shit man!
Read the interview

The Year 2006

2009-09-25T14:33:00.001+02:00

The Year 2006 after J.C.
“The JOE BALL YEAR”

January : Vegan - attack
Release of the album Decadence of Furians
Etron goes to Charleroi to see 'MASSACRES BELGES"
Full of compassion, Etron takes away the 'mannequin-mascotte' of this poor organisation during the 'rock'-performance of the incredible bands. They wanted to give it a better life. The boss of this organisation writes :
"Le vol de mannequin est punissable, comme n'importe quel vol du reste, nous ne sommes deja pas riches, si en plus des gens mal intentionnés nous prennent nos deniers, où va-t-on. Ouvre la poche du pull seyant le mannequin et tu comprendras de quoi je veux parler. A te voir très rapidement. Etienne (GOUROU)"
It appears there was nothing in the above mentioned pocket. Strange damn.

Meanwhile, Vegans throughout the world (USA, Austria, Scandinavia, Germany…) are worrying and sending e-mails to Etron. Examples :

Natascha, from Switzerland :"F*CK YOU!!AS*HOOOOOLES MURDERSANIMAL LIBERATION!"
Adrian, from Poland :"just want to let you know that i think you are sicki saw part of your video, maybe you think this if funny or you want to provoke by treat the way you do that chicken, in my eyes you dont have respect for life, you dont have the empathy - just try to emagine how that animal felt haven been connected to the battery , please think about it and next time when you came up with another briliant idea , try not to use innocent animals and plug in yourself insted, maybe you will understand how stiupid you are."
From Sweden :How fucking stupid are u guys?Animal cruelty is trhe worst fucking thing i know. I so hope u come to Sweden and play for us. Then i will stp batterys up your asses and take a fucking huge knife i cut your ugly gay head of. Ill hope you all die a slow and painful death, you and all of your familly. If not will take both of you gayheads out. Do you think you are cool while doing those things to animals? A guess u guys where bullied when u where kids. And so i also hope. I also hope youre fat little fat kids also gets bullied. I hope u all die.Burn in hell stupid ass motherfuckers.Why am i even writing this? U fucking assholes dont understand english i suppose.Fuck you and DIE!
Example of a comment on the net, about Stephany videoclip, in a forum :“I know it's possible to do a fake picture, but for a video it could be very hard, and it seems the animal are really alive...so I don't trust them, I really think it's not a fake, and I'm ashamed that guys are from Belgium”.

Etron wonders if these guys ever heard of the concept of 'movie'.

The Year 2007

2009-09-24T14:34:00.001+02:00

The Year 2007 after J.C.

January/February
Shooting of the videoclip "Maman ne reviendra pas" directed by Jules BERNS on his way back to the Australian Gay Porn Valley. The tremendous actor-playing of Billy and Suzy gives some shocks into the brain-cells of Jules BERNS who had lost all humanitty in the cunts of the australian ABOOS.
Boutik Rock : Etron drinks a few beers. Everything is quiet in Brussel's brave rock world, Suzy falls asleep, sucking his thumb like a rotten Bob l'Eponge, while Billy kindly smiles.
Photo session for Joe Ball 4 by Hank VAN BELLINGHEN.
Mixing and Mastering of Joe Ball starts.
Billy & Suzy, real groupies, are admiring ASSTROLAB playing at the Monk. Suzy offers a bench of roses to the bass-player. Mister Gay-singer goes vexed to the toilet.

March
Mixing and mastering of JOE BALL;
Etron Starts working on new songs they will never remember.

April
Due to the sunny weather, Etron drinks, plays, and loves.

May
Despite the uggly weather, Etron drinks, plays, and loves.
Double-dildo Gig in B52 : Etron's first gig after a year. The brainless sound engineer fucks up the New Sound Of Etron, so they replay the whole show again. Nice! FRANKY is pourring barrels of alcohol in the mouth of our heroes. Cops on the way back love the band and escort it a few meters.

June
Etron enjoy Motley Crue in the Ancienne Belgique concert hall. The guys are sick and rocking, the audience is old, ugly and has fun.
Gig in Cantada, Paris. Etron meets the boss, called MIKEY, a kind of guy who still has the envelope of a majestic Rocker-God, but who's spirit is out of breath. The man is so afraid of the police, wow!
Voting in the kingdom of Belgium : Etron place their faithful hearts in the hands of the King.

July
Recording of Etron's "Fascination of the Pussy", 5-songs album, in Brussels. Fascinating. ETRON's blood is merging. The world around is like a mirage. And the supernatural is affected. Sometimes, music changes your ethics. Damn.

August
Gig in B52 : Hurt, on fire, and lost again in the Galaxy of Sound. Amps are falling like leaves on the heads of B&S. B protects S.
Distribution contracts settled with Hysterias and Cod.

September : The Automn of Joe Ball
Official release of the Joe Ball Album (29 tracks, 4 cds). See review from the North.
As true members of ASSTROLAB's fanclub, Etron parties at their Walvis (Bxl) gig. A nice beauty bitch (she should not wear underwear) , a flemmish gay (he should wear underwear), a poor earning-money-guitarist with 4 guitars and a drummer no one in the band likes (le maillon faible - dixit Asstrolab) are proud to play before our heroes. These guys are great!

October : "No contest I am the best"
Etron throws a beer on SHARQUETTE's stage during a VW (tm) sponsored student happening gig. The guy looses his mind and wants etron dead. A vigilant sharquette-crew-member has to arrest him. After a discussion with him, it seems obvious he'll kill himself soon. Suzy is afraid when the BLOND ANGEL confirms him that violence and brutality are his attributes. Nevermind, B&S are enjoying his bottle of whiskey to assuage the situation.
Later on in the night Billy meets the gay singer of Asstrolab in a bar, the Asstropiet guy offers drinks. He's cool and deserves a deep kiss.Review of Joe Ball on musicinbelgium.net
Gig in Amsterdam (NL) : Killzone2 videogame pre-release private party - DJ Bramski's afterparty.

November
Mini-Cunt review of Joe-Ball on pop-rock.com : "A vrai dire, on ne s'ennuie pas une seconde à l'écoute de ce rock mi-démoniaque mi-farceur... Etron apparaît sur Joe Ball comme un groupe au sommet de son art. S'offrant même le luxe de quelques expérimentations déroutantes, il nous livre son album testament : tout à la fois original, profond et mature"."Album testament"? Damn, would Etron be dead without knowing it?
ETRON looks for gigs in BXL, but lans in a Gay-disco. Suzy is incarcerated by fascination in the blackroom where sodomizing gay- grapes are hyper-active. One guy is suspended on the wall, wanking his monkey on the gaping faces. Billy is locked outside because of his unacceptable erotic show.
Review in RifRaf (NL) : "Een fascinerende overdosis musiek". Fanx!

December
After a rehearsal Suzy spends some time in prison

DNA Party : Suzy is not allowed in, while Billy vexes the pop-rock team

August
Release of Fascination of The Pussy on etron.be - free download - web distribution only
Etron start recording their new album.

Autumn : Old leaves for a New Tree, Etron is doing very well thank you

1. The Fascination of the Pussy dirty album
Finally, the album Fascination of the Pussy is published on ETRON's website. A strange review is made by a French cunt on pop-rock.com. Something about vomit and fornication. France always had troubles. Anyway....

2. The Phomp beautiful album
ETRON records a new album, called 'PHOMP'. Billy Jr. works hard on it in order to beat TIMBALAND on its own ground. Suzy smiles and jumps with joy. Hihi.

A project of song titles is submitted for approval to the powerful DARK DOG RECORDS label:

1. My girls are getting aids in Hawaii
1.bis Stacy transmits her virus in Malibu
2. We vomit sushis
3. Dirty Ewok-Porn in Bollywood
4. I'm a Sluggy Poof in Montevideo
5. A Blonde Angel breaking ears with tears
6. Ho Man! Your bearded ass is so Cozy

None of these titles were accepted.
Expected Phomp release date somewhere in 2009

3. Sociological intermezzo
ETRON drinks a beer and wonders if bars in the capital of the UE will resist to the eco-polotico-repressive behaviour of our social system. Anyway, the layout of cans is very attractive too. Fanx.

4. The next Shot
ETRON writes some new songs, to be recorded soon after the PHOMP is finished. Damn, isn’t this too much shit for a normal band?
Billy&Suzy enjoy the idea of a gig.

5. « …un Artiste de la Communauté Française © ! »
Billy&Suzy are lucky enough to watch a superb documentary on the belgian national television.
The purpose of this thing is to give a national contour to 'rockmusic' by debating about Walloon-Flandrian opposition, public money pumping and collectivisation. The picture is given some intellectual flavour thanks to some brilliant oral interventions of Belgian music ‘journalists’ and ‘actors’. We are all very proud. Nationalism is a very good thing for every one of us. Emotion reaches the eye.

Thanks for your attention, see you in 2009! Kisses, Etron.

The year 2009

2009-09-22T15:07:00.004+02:00

The Year 2009 after J.C

January
Etron drinks a beer.

February
Shooting of the Videoclip “Popoland”.

March
Attending a concert at AB in Brussels, Billy meets Delphine (from a band called MonSoon) again. Despite obvious differences in the way their brains are functioning, they fall in love again. Rock life can be so romantic sometimes…

Re-recording of the Promise song for the Phomp album, with a special nigga-guest.

Etron is working on new songs for the May studio session.

April
Suzy admits his problem with the music, and reveals his will to improve as a human being :

“je dois améliorer mon approche de la musique en général. Je ne fais que critiquer la musique. Je dois faire une démarche positive, être ouvert. Je dois aimer la musique. Je dois dire que c'est chouette. Je dois lui dire : mais que c'est super que tu sois là!
J'vais essayer, j'vais essayer de changer. Du pro-actif, voilà ce que dit le bon sens. Apprécier, encourager tous ces artistes, ces noirs à la voix divine, ces petits cris de joie, les petites inventions rigolotes. Oui, et l'humain! reconnaître toute l'humanité qui habite les chansons! Ho oui, j'aime la musique mec. Soyez le bienvenu dans mon cœur. Bienvenue chez moi ».

Gig at the B52. Etron present some of the new songs. Drunk people over there seem satisfied. Late in the night, Billy and Suzy try their best to get invited by some girls to stay sleeping, but they fail.

May
Recording of “A World of Nerds” new album in Electrical Audio, Chicago. The album is engineered by good old Steve Albini. The guy may be a poker fan and watch Discovery Channel, he also knows how to handle Etron’s sound.
In the small quiet city of Chicago, Etron discover 3 things :

there are absolutely no beautiful girls over there (probably all gone to LA dreaming of a Hollywood career and ending up in cheap p*rns);
you can walk for 3 hours in the centre without finding any bar;
total prohibition of smoking inside combined with total prohibition of drinking outside makes it physically impossible to enjoy a good bourbon with your favourite cigarette. Luckily, these human laws do not apply to Steve’s Electrical Heaven where you can do whatever you want wherever you want (except visiting Albini’s personal apartments at night - he hates it).

June
Mastering of the Chicago album. To be noted that only one machine in the whole Kingdom can read Albini’s stupid ½” mix tapes.
24th June : Suzy insults Billy.
26th June : Billy Jr. quits the band.

THE END

….

….28th June : drinking a beer, Billy and Suzy decide to start a new band. They call it Etron.

July
Billy and Malvir Leon work on new songs. Suzy has disappeared.

September
Strategic issue. The simultaneous release of two albums is a strange idea, but Billy and Suzy manage to convince Dark Dog Records that it is the best strategy to get rid of all the old shit : they need a clear empty mind to start their new production.

October
Dark Dog Records encounter difficulties for the printing of the Etron's albums. It seems the SABAM mafia (belgian IFPI-like) has increased its persuasion power on the printing plants as each new release requires a new bigger load of administrative non-sense steps. It has to be stated that neither Etron, its members or DDR have anything to do with the SABAM "organization". Etron has been advising everybody for years to f*ck the SABAM in every possible way. These guys have no rights of any kind on your creations. Do not affiliate to them. Do not believe them. Sh*t in their mouth.

November
Release of A World of Nerds, Etron album # 13.
Billy and Suzy are fighting like children for insignificant shit.

December
Etron is invited at the V.I.P. night of Georges LANG, an old fashion speaker from the french radiostation RTL, at the Deleirium Café of Brussels. A bit later, Etron is ejected.

Etron’s new Albini CD is for sale on www.hysterias.com.

Etron records a SAXO SONG with Mr. FRED.

The Rifraf musicmag (Walloon part of Belgium edition) reacts quickly when receiving the Nerd-CD for free (Rifrafmag - december 2009) :
“Cher Caca, nous accusons réception de votre colis piégé et parfumé. Peut-être les mots nous manquent-ils pour qualifier vos hauts faits d’arme contribuant à l’excellente tenue de notre scène nationale – nottamment votre opiniâtreté à emmerder (comme votre patronyme vous y enjoint) le tout-venant de la scène pop-rcok belge et tout ce qui s’y produit – ainsi que la matière qui en découle ? Aussi sommes-nous au regret de devoir decliner votre invitation à produire quelque logorrhée relative à ces sujets. En effet en ces temps de crise, vous conviendrez aisément que chaque papier est précieux. De plus, la saison de la chasse étant fort réglementée, le tir du-dit ustensile ne se fait qu’à plouf mesuré. Nous vous encourageons cependant vivement à poursuivre vos exactions en notre Royaume, conscients qu’il faut bien que jeunesse se passe et que la crise d’adolescence, passée trente ans, ne se pratique qu’avec force poussées d’ego (et non plus seulement acnéiques). Vous serez gentils de saluer papa maman pour tout le talent dont ils vous ont richement pourvus (ainsi que pour la Golf GTI qui va bien) !
Isn't this strange?

The Flemish Rifraf-people are more elegant :
“Dit duo komt uit Brussel, draait alweer een tijdje mee en maakt rock met een hoog postpunkgehalte. Voor de opnames van deze 13de plaat trokken de bandleden naar Chicago, waar ze hun lot – of toch hun materiaal - in handen legden van überproducer Steve Albini, die eerder achter de knopjes zat bij o.a. de Pixies en Nirvana. Echt origineel kan je het resultaat niet noemen, maar de nummers zitten behoorlijk in elkaar en je kan ze niet beschuldigen van een gebrek aan attitude. In combinatie met een aandoenlijk Engels levert dat teksten op zoals “she just wants to speak / but her brain is just so weak / her brain has
a kind of leak”. En dan maar verschieten dat ze niet aan een lief geraken. Ach, op naar nummer 14 dan maar. (mb)”
Postpunk hun? Gosh, strange man…..
