REAL EXHAUSTIVE BIO:
Nicolas J. Fasnacht was born in 1984 in Baselstadt, Switzerland. At the age of 8, his arms were all covered with kids tattoos. (You know, the ones you get with chewing gums...) At the time, he didn't know how close he came from the future... He's now a selftaught professional tattoo artist , and of course a sound sculptor since 2005, blessed year in which he proudly braught the website WWW.MERJ.CH and the mini [net]label MadeOneShot, to produce himself and all the other artists around. (Great guys! ) He also performs under other aka's (Verj / Hysteria Crisis / "Fractal" with Sergio) and is proud to present Overload Collapse!
For more information, don't ask him. Go see them...
Nikola Mounoud is a homophobic transexual FE-MALE born in 1983 in Territet (we bet you wanna know where it is) his real name is Micolea Puksitole. First known as a world famous farmer at 6, (s)he made her/his first own micro-climate at 7 following the permaculture theory. Had some bad experience like almost all teenager with human contact, then get discredited by mass media (screw them). One of those crappy days, a sunny one in spring to be precise, (s)he decided (who really cares ?) to act with music mostly under the silly (and so selfish) aka . . .
It still wasn't enough so, to put some fun in this task, (s)he will only performe with a crappy and cheap laptop (though, not so crappy but really expensive in 2004) and some really shitty second hand and homemade analog sound stuff, buying viagra (produce, of course, from permaculture only) rather than usefull but not so shitty sound stuff...
Enjoy!
