Stand by, you're about to be introduced to the most exciting rock 'n roll group that ever came from the capital of France ... they're Lex Riders & The Machine Gun, and all that glittering youth crawling around the city and its suburbs is going to go wild for them! They're a gang of scruffy, dusty drop-outs who've just missed the train but show off like the posh, sneering princes of a new era, dressed in tight pants, leather jackets and gypsy threads like it's 1969 ... a threatening pack of alley cats with fierceness and attitude ... a high society gathering of voodoo misfits ready to be spokesmen for the generation of teenage underdogs who feel alienated by worthless corporate rock and are challenging it to a duel! The band : Lex, refined hooligan with unbrushed hair, junkie-like XS waist, and the drawling voice of a "destroy" crooner ... Fred, gothy twin of Baron Samedi with black hi-top and feathers ... Leo, tambourine kid and Mod fashion addict ... Johnny, downtown vagabond exiled from Main Street ... Ben, fearsome character and unruffled beat keeper ... Lex Riders & The Machine Gun are basically into the early 70's sound and attitude, tough black music played in a hurry by white trash renegades! They dig r & b from the bayou, Rolling Stones, Detroit rock, MC5, Iggy Stooge ... glitter masquerade, Bowie, NY Dolls ... Gibson axes through Marshall amps, fuzz-boxes, disco boom boom and more Rolling Stones ... Cock rock, not mock rock! Today, they feel a connection to acts like Primal Scream, Living Things, Dirtyfuzz, or The Lords Of Altamont. Hip-shaking, feverish body music only! Lex Riders & The Machine Gun don't see themselves as militant people, they're just here to express the doom of living in a big city and exorcize it with sick humour, steel-conviction and dancing grooves ... they enjoy singing savage hit-and-run anthems full of irony, junkies, prostitutes, SM, love in vain and death ... hey babe, take a walk on the wide side! Up till now, they've performed in local clubs named Gibus, Shebeen or New Morning, always drawing a bigger fanbase. They started out jamming with members of Jad Wio (glam-goth legends made in France). And they started recording studio material with Thierry Los (Vegomatic, Surfin' Robots) for a future burning single release! Now their plans include : getting rich or dying trying, touring NYC and Japan endlessly, making some jet-set moguls connection ... filling Wembley stadium ... turning into a cult & highly influential group in approximately 5 years and going deaf in 6! Here they are, for your pleasure and they're ready and raring to go, Lex Riders & The Machine Gun from Riot City ... Don't miss the bus, this is what YOU need, and it's happening NOW!I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
