The true & unaxeggerated story on fence
[18 November 2003 - srhadden]
In 1998, FENCE stunned themselves by ending 2nd in HUMO's rock rally, Belgium's most shmestizious battle of rockbands. On their way down from the stage an eager labelbeaver bookingbitch cast his greedy paws around the flippy foursome. And so it came to be that there was a recordlabel slash bookingagent and he go-eth by the name of labelman slash toutpartout resp.
Fence concentrated on playing their instruments, in front of hypersensitive recording apparatuses to be more exact. Behind the knops was the Frans to the H to the A to the Generas, also known for producing other influential rockflocks, such as : Motoröl, Ruftkaizer and most of all :: Free Energy Overdrive... ( the list goes on btw)
A debut ep and lp and a couple of singles with ridiculously okidoki B-sides exited Frans' factory. Fence played sellout shows in sports arenas around the globe.
Fuelled by this fuelling reception, and with the help of Patrick Delabie, fence started recording a second long playing record. The result of this effort was a one hundred and fifteenth album. But then came the moment of crisis. Disaster struck as leadsinger Kneals opened up his fridgidaire and saw a carton of milk talking to a rotten tomato. Leadsinger Love experienced a similar drama in the same week when his girlfriend since highschool expressed the fact she loved him very, very much. To make matters worse, leadsinger Bob suffered from a bit of a professional career. All this drove drummer Samuel to insanity, as he left the band. He got replaced by a cheap and clean little S.R. Hadden.
Meanwhile, the new album, still moist from creative sweat, swept a stormcloud throughout the galaxy. On earth in particular people forgot all about movies like Titanic and Bulgur With Rice, as fence managed to suck in ALL attention from any person alive for 54 consecutive weeks. A remarkable feat, remarked by none other than the Thompson Twins, Hungor Moma and Rabies Luvwax.
Satisfying as all these rewards may have been, fence went into hibernation, and from this unconscious state, initiated the recording of yet another full length compact disc. Some say the minds of the fence musicians should have been depleted from interesting melodies a long time ago, as it is indeed very ununderstandable how so much musical quality can stem from only four male brains.
Regardless, fence managed to surpass all their previous efforts with the release in 2005 of an album so magnificent, so brilliant in it's lack of respect for less talented peers, and so round and shiny, it got described by astronauts working cordlessly in space as "an illuminated superhighway of modern artistry".
Anyway, the music of fence is readily available on a soffftware application near you. Check out the tourdates for pictures and the new & improved media section for the full story on fence !
