About Me


Playing in lausanne for about 3 years now, the band has been called "The Change" as well as "Blind Face" before stumbling upon "ShutUp Antoine". Today, it's members are Jackson (latvia/russia), Wesley (Mauritius Island), Yannick (switzerland) and Marc (Switzerland/Haiti). We are still in a phase of discovery, as we struggle to integrate the diverse sounds of today. Hip-Hop and Rock are our two major influences. If you have any advice or opinions concerning what you've heard from us, please give us a shout... Artists such as the FUGEES, CUNNINLYNGUISTS, WU-TANG, FONETIKS, and many more are the basis of our Hip-Hop, whereas our Rock influences are a little more diverse, FEAR FACTORY, SONATA ARCTICA, JIMI HENDRIX, THE BEATLES... Anyone who relates to our situation realises how difficult it is to list influences, our list is endless. Le Groupe: Basé à Lausanne depuis 3 ans, Ses membres sont Jackson (Russie - Lettonie), Wesley (Ile Maurice), Moreno (Italie), Marc (Haiti - Suisse) et Yannick (Suisse). Les membres du groupe sont d’origines diverses, et parlent entre eux 12 langues. Les compositions se font en Anglais car c’est la langue commune des 5 membres. Nous sommes toujours en pleine phase de découverte, car on essaye d’intégrer les divers sons d’aujourd’hui. Hip-Hop et Rock sont nos influences majeures, mais notre style se prête très facilement à celui du rock festif et mélodique. Tous les membres adorent ce qu’ils font, et s’y donnent complètement…nous adorons jouer sur scène, et le public nous fait part de sa satisfaction pendant et après chaque concert. Préparez vous pour un rock accessible, dansant et puissant! Well, hope you like it, LEAVE A COMMENT, ADD US AS FRIENDS. PEACE

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/21/2008
Band Members:

YANNICK -

Bass, Synth and Voice (AT THE SAME TIME!!!!!)

Graduated in Geography, the only genuinely swiss member of the band. Bassist and oldest member of the band. a little freaky, however, he has an undeniable talent as a musician, he is a true instrumentalist. Dresses like a fisherman's friend. Leave him in a studio with a bass and he will rewrite Al Greene and Isaac Haayes' greatest hits. Likes to run around a lot on stage (once almost slipped of a a table). Makes jokes only Marc laughs at, works as a Gym trainer, he's always working out. Has a blackbelt in Judo... we never really tested his limits... but we plan to. He thinks he can play three instruments at the same time but we advise him not to. his appartment sucks, he is always late and he never answers his phone. Writes lots of songs. Hates Jackson's dog, the dog hates him too and says he started it. His surname is Papaux.

JACKSON -

Drums and triangles

University graduate in business and finance. Born in the soviet Union, his real name is Eugene but he will deny it forever. Skinnyest in the band, he had his first drink at 15 and has rarely sobered up since. Was once deported from an anonymous estern european country. He found out he has ADD after finishing university, all he could say was "that explains a lot". His dog is called Party. He would turn gay for Johnny Depp. Loves Star Wars, Lost, Music and nothing else. Grumpy in the mornings, smokes more than a forest fire. Plays like the Energiser bunny. Lives on Marc's couch, Tea Freak, currently organising a slap Attempt on Mr. Putin. Was on a corny MTV video.

WESLEY -

Lead Vocals, triangles

Graphic designer but now studies sound engineering. Lead Singer from the indian ocean. Plays every instrument (we haven't checked). the only guy who's married. Likes to take his desktop computer around in a suitcase. Played with a bunch of bands before, is a flight steward and says he knows Manu Katche but noone believes him. His nickname in the band is WAZAAAAAAAAAA. Loves vodka, says he has friends but we never met them. Always wears a hat (for the first month we thought he was bald). Likes to do things in his own time. Lives in a maze (we can never find his house). Has the biggest tv in the world (jackson has claimed it in case of death). Most mysterious dude, always on time, knows everything about everything, loves to sing Marley. Has a british/french/something english accent

MORENO -

Guitar. University graduate in Psychology. Prettyboy guitarist and Italian all the way. We like to tease him about his accent so he always goes by Mario and Luigi. Started learning guitar after he joined the band. Rich but hides it well. Lies about not recieving tabs for new songs he hasn't learnt yet. Sometimes plays a little red girly guitar in secret and pretends hes not married to his girl even though he wears a wedding band. Loves bollywood movies "the dialog is so rich". Always laid back, has a beer belly but denies it, forgets when he lends you money, has a cool flatmate, works with Marc in aids prevention. Huge stage presence. Very Naive. FORGETS EVERYTHINGMARC - Guitar and Vocals.

Half Haitian half Swiss, has lived and been everywhere in the world, rarely seen without a guitar, colorblind and cant hear so well from his right ear, he has the messyest room in the universe. Still can't finish University. Says he got a girl in a plane. Wrote lots of the songs. Always bitches at whatever there is on tv. Crazyest on stage. Goes on average through a guitar a year and a pack of strings a week... problem... poorest dude in the band. Workd in aids prevention with moreno. Knows every episode of Star Trek by heart. Organizes the sickest Parties at his flat, once had over 200 people in his flat. He and Jackson drink too much... not healthy... Officially the WORST skateboarder in the U.K. Says he met John Kerry. Likes to make fun of people's accents, never has money, sleeps his problems away, has the biggest cell phone on the world too
