I wrote a bio for Zheul band Pseu.
< ="-" ="text/; =utf-8"> PSEU : biography.
This quite obscure French band, created in 1979 in Bordeaux (France) by singer Christian Coutzac, had remained a 'cult band' for two decennies until Musea released the self-titled CD 'Pseu' in 2004. Pseu was part of a small Zheul movement in Bordeaux, with Uppsala, Xalph and Sombre Reptile. Led by said singer Coutzac, Pseu made itself different from the other Zheul bands thanks to its humor and its 'positive' style. Yet, their music was solid and the influences ranged from Weidorje to contemporary jazz, including Univers Zero, Present and, of course, Magma. Existing from 1979 to 1983, Pseu recorded the material of its CD between 1981 and 1982. The line-up had included Christian Coutzac (vocals), Philippe Dulong (guitars), Thierry Jardinier, Pierre Delair (both keyboards players), Erik Baron and Philippe Canellas (bass) and drummer Christophe Godet. As the band never found any label to release their music, it disbanded quickly. Christophe Godet joined Minimum Vital, a band whom with the former members of Pseu share some of their musical activities nowadays. Bassist Erik Baron had recorded two solo albums, including a version of 'De Futura' (Musea, 2007). Christian Coutzac is still active in the associative milieu and is the guest vocalist of Minimum Vital on their track for the tribute album to Magma, 'Hur' (2009) Line-up: Christian Coutzac (vocals); Philippe Dulong (guitars); Thierry Jardinier (keyboards); Pierre Delair (keyboards); Erik Baron (bass); Philippe Canellas (bass); Christophe Godet (drums). Discography: 'Pseu' (CD – Musea, 2004)

I've found info on Perkele (very interesting name btw), and I'll be glad to take care of the bio and the rest - though I have some doubts as to the prog-relatedness of this band, which is defined as 'gothic metal' by the Metal Archives.

Here Dean, a small bio of Flight 09, unless you think it's un-imformative:
Flight 09 was
formed in 1986 in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan . Flight 09 used to play some sort of Prog Metal back in their early days, but due to their lack of popularity playing that
genre, they decided to move to a more straight-forward rock style, though with a
matter of time they would include once again Prog elements to their latest
albums. Flight 09 is
formed by Igor Savitch(vocals, guitars & keyboards), Constantine
Savitch(bass) and Artiom Piyanzin(drums). Flight 09’s albums have been released through Neurosis Records(American Label) and been managed by guitarist/composer Rick Ray, which made it possible to make some international success. A photo(s), I couldn't manage to stick the three photos together....: Edited by cacho - February 08 2009 at 16:13 |

Go for it Raff - we'll worry about the validity at a later date - can't really tell anything of what they sound like from what the Encyclopeadia Metallum say.
Very useful, thanks Pablo - I'll update the page in a short while (once I've glued the pictures together).

Do you have a photo of Mans Mossa?, if not here:
If someone could translate me this: Måns Mossa var en 70-tals grupp från Skellefteå, relativt okänd utanför hemmaarenorna, som lirade progressiv rock i samma skola som Trettioåriga Kriget och samtida progg- och reggaeband. De gav ut en LP-skiva som var den första fullängdare som släppts av ett band från Skellefteå. Den pressades i enbart 1000 ex. och betraktas idag som en raritet av samlare. I samband med skivsläppet så var dom med i en tävling som var föregångare till Rock-SM och kvalade upp till final på Gröna Lund, där dom fick en delad fjärdeplacering. Gruppen splittrades dock 1981 när viljorna började gå isär. Första återföreningen var 1991 och sedan dess har de spelat ungefär vart femte år. Tex. när Skelleftefestivalen ( Stadsfesten sedermera ) startades upp så spelade Måns Mossa de två första åren. En intervju med sångaren Olav Markstedt och lite till går att läsa i boken "Hela hjärtat mitt - ögonblick från Skellefteås pophistoria". I would be glad to make a bio of my own, but I already did a thread of this, so.... EDIT: ah, I see the photo now.... Edited by cacho - February 08 2009 at 17:31 |

Think the tech/extreme and experimental/post categories are fine, not sure though...

Sorry, Pablo, deleted my post because it seems there are TWO Walruses from Japan... The one I posted a link to is a 'shoegaze' band, while the one we have in the DB seems to be much more in the prog vein.

Pablo's White Bio added thanks Pablo
(do people any thoughts/objections on merging it with Alan White's solo entry in Xover?)
...I think that's as much as we're going to be able to do for now.

I think the merging of the two Alan White entries is an excellent idea. I added Alan White way back in the past, but have no idea of when White was added, and did not think of having the two entries merged. Anyway, I can promise I will do some research on the missing bands, though I'm afraid it's going to be anything but easy.

Are these rules or guidelines? I posted a biography for Chicago earlier today and it doesn't quite follow these instructions. Basically it's an overview of their career with a few words on their style. Should I get back to writing? |
