Rakel Traxx is more than a band, it’s a bunch of friends, hanging out together since they were kids and for whom Sex, Drugs & Rock n’Roll is not just phrase but a real credo. The band started in Marseille (french riviera), their hometown, where they were used to messing around in the few clubs & bars. One of these nights, they decided to create Rakel Traxx, a Sleaze rock band tainted with punk & metal, as a tribute to LA’s 1980 glam scene. Their influences go from Guns n’Roses, Motley Crue, Vain, Pretty Boy Floyd to ST or Metallica. Their vision of glam rock goes with powerfull guitar riffs, bonecrushing drums, a sreaming voice and killer melodies. In 2008, they record their first EP and hit the road in France & Europe with bands as Hardcore Superstar, Pretty Boy Floyd, Adam Bomb, Gemini Five Blackrain and Dagoba. Their shows are a precise mix of raw energy & glitters, their live reputation is no longer to be made, and fans are already asking for more, they simply rock the stage out. In 2010, the band is back in studio for their first album « Bitches Palace » released on Shotgun Generation Records in 2011. This album will, without a doubt, write their name within the Sleaze rock legends. Stay tuned, they’ll be back on the road pretty soon. www.myspace.com/rakeltraxx

Look at this band who has bombarded Paris with rock n' roll bombs with killing riffs during those last years, you will see that there's no need to introduce AESTHESIA in their own town. They have supported bands like Rose Tattoo, Mother Superior, Gun, Babylon Bombs, Vains of Jenna... They are coming from nowhere, but they want more. The band has begun his discography with their demo "Take It As A Last Chance Ride" (5 tracks), and, then, recorded "Serious Conspiracy", their first LP. The song "Cold Case" taken from this LP has been chosen by Rock Hard Magazine as "Autoproduction of the month" on their sampler CD on January 2008. In 2009, the band decided to go on tour in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and Germany during the Serious Conspiracy Tour. Since September, the 18th, AESTHESIA is back with the second album "Shattered Idols". In order to hit the bull's eyes with this new album, the band managed to get some featuring like Thomas Silver (ex Hardcore Supertar) on "Under 16" and Kenny Hakansson (The Hellacopters) on "Tales Of Underground", and the master of the whole thing made by Björn Engelmann ( Rammstein, In Flames,The Hellacopters, Backyard Babies...) at the Cutting Room (Sweden). Now AESTHESIA is back on the road for Rock n' Roll shows you should not miss !!! www.aesthesia-rocks.com

Try to imagine a bunch of four decadent punkrockers once educated to the tunes of the Ramones, Motörhead or the Sex Pistols and feeling the urge to kick up a racket. The boys joined on the occasion of a tribute to the Ramones down in one of Paris' underground bars. The band played this very first gig with Jean Beauvoir (Kiss, Ramones, Plasmatics, Little Steven...etc) himself as a special guest and a few promising shows later, they felt it might be worth taking a step further, which resulted in the recording of 5-track "Want Some ?". The C.D. was warmly welcomed by the public and a number of various fanzines started circulating the name of the band. The HSMF, as the fans call them, then appeared on several compilations and embarked on a series of shows throughout France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and Hungary playing along with such bands as L.A. Guns, Gilby Clarke, American Heartbreak, Lizzy Borden, Vains of Jenna, Kip Winger, Adam West, Tracy Gang Pussy, The Black Halos, Boozed, American Dog, Dirty Penny, Psychopunch, Judasville, Rock City Morgue, Punish Yourself, Thunder Express, Adam Bomb, the Quireboys, +44 and the New York Dolls. The band's genuine attitude and their frenzy on stage is a statement in itself. The boys are there to rock and kick ass, no more, no less and "Backseat Education", High-School Motherfuckers' first opus released in January 2010 is proof that making an album with guitars, drums, beer and genuine no-singing-lesson vocals is still possible. It's raw, kick-in-the-balls music made straight away from rock. Blasting rythm guitars mingle with raw riffs and supercatchy melodies in the vein of fellow Scandinavian rockers Backyard Babies, Hellacopters, Turbonegro or Hardcore Superstars' music. The HSMF is now working on new material and a second opus is due in 2012. So if you feel like having a dose of pure genuine Rock'N Roll, just dig the High-School Motherfuckers, but beware ! High risk of overdose

The story of Nasty Kixx started at a party one hot summer night back in '98. Partygoers and pals Bastard, Fabio Esteban and Dr. Rowdy stepped outside for some air and some more liquor, accidently bumped into this longhaired dude, which they quickly baptised Trashcan Dan. Inviting the guy in, sharing drinks and discovering a shared taste in fine rock n' roll. The band was a fact! After massive rehearsals and gigging they recorded their first offering titled "The greatest hits and the nastiest kixx", in May of 2000. The recording featured the underground classic; "Mrs. Bottle", still a fan favourite. Two demos, "Still kickin'" and "The Pirates of rock n' roll" were recorded in 2001. Pretty unpretentious rock n' roll w. poppy hooks. "Pirates…" also marked the last performance by Dr. Rowdy. Reportedly lost on a cruise to Finland. Rumored to be tired of the rn'r lifestyle. No one knows. Enter Dr. Denial! A mutual friend w. a "don't give a hoot" attitude, was an obvious choice as a replacement for the other "Doc". The 2002 "Just another day" demo showed the "Kixx" were now leaning towards a more dark, melancholic sound. Yet maintaining their dogs' nose for a good riff and chorus. The word was now spreading. The band recieving great reviews on websites and in magazines worldwide. Nasty Kixx spent a sweatsoaked weekend in July of 2003 recording an excellent selftitled disc. Crammed w. great hooks and harmonies supported by the sweet backup vocals courtesy of the Nasty Dolls. This also showcased the first appearence by new member and organmeister Burt Backfire, making the band a rocksolid unit. A bright light shone through the winter darkness in February of 2004. "Hometown Blues" is a ten song blast of whiskey and cream, melancholy and upbeat partyanthems! Except for the four new hits and a rendition of "Bastard Song", the recording features four older tracks spiced up with Mr. Backfires excellent keywork. Let's not forget a quite sped up version of the Hanoi Rocks classic masterpiece "Tragedy", ending it all. Tasty! In May of 2005 this record was released as a "real" album on French label Shotgun Generation. The praising reviews instantly came flooding in, leaving no one disappointed. The world of rock n' roll had a new favourite pet to cuddle & love! In the winter of 2006 bad news once again arrived, and this time Doc Denial had to jump ship for reasons unknown...Rumours said he dipped his 'stache where it shouldn't be dipped.... At about the same time fretboardrunner Fabio decided he'd switch locations and hit the big city. Burt just vaporized after the news 'bout Doc. He apparently moved to the city and no longer fingers the ebony and ivory.. The Kixx now had their balls in a vice and had to put 'em on ice, at least 'til they find a new bassplayer fit for the job! SO....the Story Continues.... www.myspace.com/nastykixx
