Band Website: absinthe.provisoire.free.fr/
Band Members: Guillaume Allory sings and plays drums and percussions and clap his hands and plays saxophone and wanna play noise on bass and it will happen sooner or later. This man never sleeps...................................................... ........christophe sings and plays guitar and claps his hands and plays bass and didn't see the day for a long time and smokes a lot of cigarettes because of granada and peru and sings a lot of songs for the white walls too......................................................... Totenfest sings and plays guitar and saxophone and violin really badly and do not clap his hands cause he can't play guitar at the same time and he's now in brussels and he smokes much more cigarettes than christophe in fact but he's dancing a lot on ecstasy too....................................................Alexa ndre Morand sings and plays guitar and claps his hands but doesn't want to play guitar anymore so maybe he's gonna only sing and dance naked with a spoon in his beautiful ass that's exactly what he's gonna do friends..................................................... .......And now we have Guillaume Contre, who plays laptop and synthetizer and spanking, smokes maybe more than everyone else in the band and is quite homeless...............................................Great bunch of losers.
