A sad day for investors...

About Me

Hi! I'm a punk-rocker of 25, living in Switzerland (mothertongue: FRENCH!!!). I'm studying Philosophy and French at the University of Neuchâtel. I'm also singing (maybe "screaming" will be more appropriate...) in two bands: YOG and KEHLVIN . This is it: all my life is turning around those two bands... I'm singing for years now, I joined my first band in the age of 12, it was called "Baby Killers", and it was mostly cover of great bands as Metallica and Nirvana....how the time has run since these days!!!!! I'm over motivated, self-confident and completly devoted to heavy music.

YOG IS GRINDING DA DOLL HOUSE

My Interests

All my interest resides in MUSIC. As a singer in two bands I spend most of my free time in a rehearsal room......5 times per week! I'm also very fond of listening music, I've got more than 700 cds, and I spend the rest of my free time listening to them while having one beer or two with my friends.

I'd like to meet:

New good bands playing fucking Rock n'Roll!! And everyone interested in good music, philosophy, drugs and alcohol!



THINGS THAT I HAVE SCREAMED:
