About Me


It all started in 2003 in a very special outdoor gig in the middle of an sunny afternoon... There were these four guys who didnt know exactly what to expect from a rock band contest.The guitar player, Manu, learned the ropes of music through practicing the rythmes of Madness (watch especially his right hand!). The Bass man, Julien (Junkie), a strange character for a unique and humpy bass playing, was never where you expected him to be, following the Smiths on their tour around Ireland colleges. Jean was supposed to set up the brass section. Even if It was said his trumpet sound recalled Chet Bakers, he ended up claiming the front position by taking care of the lead singing. His brother Pierre kicked out the previous drummer after an outstanding performance making clear he was the one who would rapidly become indispensable by his ability to switch from heavy sustained rock rhythms to light and subtles disco beats.

"Montevideo. En les voyant arriver pour le service photos, les 4 de Montevideo n'ont rien de ce groupe qui électrise les foules avec la forte intensité prétendue de leurs concerts dans ces parties de la Wallonie, landes accueillantes et francophones de la Belgique. Jean, chanteur du groupe, comme Manu (guitare), Pierre (batterie) et Julien (basse) se plient avec joie au rituel de la photo de mode, amusés à vagabonder entre les étranges bêtes du zoo qui constitue le décor du service photos. Pourtant, la musique des Montevideo est beaucoup plus abrasive que leur bonne humeur diurne, elle secoue les tympans et le temps, ceux-ci capturés dans le tissu bruyant de deux guitares et d'une batterie qui conduisent une lutte infernale entre rythme funk et post-punk. Quand bien même divisés entre leurs premiers amours, les Sonic Youth et les Pixies, ils ont découvert depuis peu les vertus energétiques et virulentes des disques des Devo, et leurs chansons, comme "Sluggish" ou "Groovy Station", tendent à se rapprocher aux rivages newyorkais plus récents des groupes comme les "Rapture". En suivant l'exemple de leur mentor, John de Ginzu, les Montevideo maltraitent les guitares et portent en eux des mélodies frénétiques déjà rôdées par la soissantaine de concerts effectués depuis leur découverte en 2005 à l'Orangerie, salle de concert à Bruxelles. Depuis, leur énergie ne s'est pas démentie et cette rigidité post-punk qui guide chacunes de leurs apparitions Live devrait bientôt les catapulter sur la scène internationale. Enfin, un peu plus loin que la Belgique."
