hellscrack the sinner

international three days of punk with six-8 inner terrestrials cash stevens ...
At the beginning , back in ...
... 1988 , Hellscrack first played live at the Gibus ( Paris ), opening the show for Batmobile and Pussy Killers . Back then , the trio featured Gambeat ( double-bass , vocals ) and Xoumoul ( guitar ) ex two former members of the Sgegs Boogie Boys and Docnaze , later nicknamed Shuman ( drums , vocals ).
This original line-up lasted for about a year , playing live in festivals and psychobilly concerts in Paris ( New Moon , Gibus , New Morning ), Dijon , Troyes , Roman , and also in Belgium alongside the psycho trendsetters of the day such as Jekills , Swampys , Madsin , Klingonz , Skitzo , Coffinnails , Krewmen , Meteors , and La Mano Negra for the release of their " Puta's Fever " album in Pigalle .
That is when we decided to have a break , the trio being absorbed by the French Lovers . But for five years , we nevertheless managed to play a few covers as a trio when there were encores at French Lovers gigs .
... Until Gambeat left us to play with what was left of La Mano Negra , and Xoumoul and I decided to reform Hellscrack at the beginning of 1994 : it took us a year after we both rehearsed in some squats , garages and cellars ...
So we were going round in circles until we had the idea of asking an old mate we got to know on tour to join us : the most famous bass player from the West of France , the very much in demand, ex-star of the show-business : Kaloo ( Elmer Food Beat )! That is how we ended up in Nantes a few days later . And after a three-weeks rehearsal , we went to l' ile d' Yeu to play our " first " gig , at the end of 94 .
So we got going again , and we rapidly recorded a 6 track demo ( tape ) and Luigi ( family ) became our tour manager . We still played kick ass , nasty rock 'n' roll , but more straightforward , in the Motorhead style .
Numerous gigs throughout France followed , entertaining customers and audiences in cafes and festivals alike , as well as in clubs , sharing the stage with such billtoppers as the Fleshtones , the Inmates , Jason and the Scorchers ...
But as Kaloo had other bands , the schedules got complicated . So we decided to do without him for a while at the end of 95 .
As Luigi also was the Happy drivers tour manager , we knew they were about to split up , so we asked their bass player Alain (ex- Wampas , Los Carayos , Mano Negra ) to join us . As he was into kick-ass music , he agreed .
We composed songs , rehearsed for a brand new set and released 1,000 copies of a Five track CD .
After some more time spent gigging at festivals or opening the show for such luminaries as Alvin Lee , Jason and the Scorchers , the Pogues or Guana batz , our vision of the musical direction for the band started to differ : Alain was into hard-core , Xoumoul was into metal-indus and I was into rock 'n' roll. So the songs sounded weird , the set was too ill-assorted , I lost interest in the band and decided to put it to an end for a while in 97 .
End of 2000 , mates from Wild West released their first album . They were looking for a support band . So we formed a band that soon resembled Hellscrack apart from the fact that Lolo (ex- Squealer ), back in Nantes after seven years in the States , joined us, and as Kaloo was back too , we were four.
For two years we kept gigging for fun playing cover songs . At the same time I built my own recording studio in order to rehearse and flesh out new songs in a powerful rythmic rock 'n' roll style , influenced by Lolo 's Australian rock 'n' roll style .
We recorded " Flesh and Steel " at home , it was released and produced by Brennus records in April 2004 .
We went on tour quite a lot , still played in bars and showrooms , tattoo conventions , Harley Davidson meetings , but we also opened the show for great bands such as Nashville Pussy , Rose Tattoo , Supersuckers , Dr Feelgood ...
We also went on tour in Spain , between Barcelona and Valencia , thanks to our former double-bass player Gambeat who now lives in Spain and plays with Manu Chao .
In 2006 , Xoumoul left the band so we ended up a three some once again .
So , we composed new songs for the next album , we also played with Scandinavian bands ( Crucified Barbara , Badmachine , Texas Mother Fuckers ....), American and Australian bands ( Nashville Pussy , Supersuckers , the Saints ...), went on tour in Great-Britain for a dozen gigs with our mates from Viktims , and at the same time we recorded and finally released " Rusted " ( spring 2009 ), distributed by Mass Prod . And we carried on with a few dates in the west with Peter Pan Speedrock , Demented are Go , GBH ...gamma ray gardens of deadly premonition sandwich charles mingus black saint lady helloween when judas priest depeche mode in me neil young stands time fades wine from tears declaring war
