| BAND BIO |
It all began at the start of 2007 when Smart Attack ,
J Rocker and Franky Bones
Got together in a Garage and decided to jam some covers for fun of bands they
liked
such as " the Buzzcocks , Stiff little fingers, 999 , The Damned etc....
At that time they had Bones on drums, Attack on Bass and Rocker on the Guitar
and Vox...
It was recorded on a dusty old cassette tape that got lost somehow and after
that jam we didn't see each other for a while, Rocker and Attack had decided on
the name
and around the same time Rocker respectively wrote the song "Sex,drugs and
Rock n Roll" !
but time passed , some drugs and bad decisions happened and moving had
separated us all !
Bones and Attack were in Montreal bored outta
their minds and Rocker
was stuck alone in a small working class community on the east coast of Canada.
shortly after Rocker began going crazy ..." I was young , alone, sniffing
glue , playing guitar
and writing raw , pissed off punk rock lyrics. I began recording songs on an 8
track recorder
and was shipping those songs to Attack and Bones".. The Automatix was in
the making and songs like:
"Sounds of 77”»,"Scene belongs to us" and "City
Terror" were born.
After some quick planning, Rocker showed back up in Montreal more ready than ever !
The Guys got in Contact with a Drummer by the name of Johnny Damage from Quebec city
and within a week they had the 1st Jam with all the members in the Basement of
the "Loud House"
in Montreal it
was a great jam and The Automatix was now official! By the time they had the
fifth Jam
it was Time to Play their 1st Show , They Opened for "Sub-hum-ans UK"
@ the Foufounes Electric in Montreal
it was tight and The Automatix were Clearly ready for more !... Over the next
few months many shows followed
in the Downtown Montreal Area attracting more and more punk rockers each time ,
by the summer
Automatix got signed to PUNK MANIA RECORDS and put out the first 500 - 5 song
Demos titled "77 in 07". With Momentum building
The Automatix then embarked on a month long cross Canada
tour with the legendary "Vibrators" from the UK.
Armed with punk 77 ideals , black leather jackets and guitars The Automatix
delivered great , consistent punk rock shows
across Canada
, opening for The Vibrators each time. The Tour was a Success and the Automatix
are currently in Montreal writing new songs and
looking forward to delivering more hard hitting punk fucking rock n roll
in 2008, they have shows coming up including a show with "The Kids"
from Belgium.
The Automatix hope to put out a full length album in the near future and also
tour Europe and Asia. |
