Jesús Brotons defined, analysed and X-rayed by himself:
During a strange display of sincerity, Jesús Brotons (San Sebastián, 1971) defined himself on a certain occasion as "a non-recommendable fellow". According to those who know him, he continues being one. We are talking about a smoking and carnivorous individual, who knows nothing about football and rarely watches the television; who likes to listen (and create!) at untimely hours to music that has nothing in common with what the majority understands as such; he hoards records and, what is worse, he writes his own impressions on several publications.
The first signs of his doubtful moral came with the formation during the mid-nineties of Honcho, electronic duo that, according to the magazine Rock de Lux, "reminds us of the Residents and DAF". Three cassettes later, Honcho will be transformed into Popular 66. Three more cassettes, several performances (Sonar, LEM, G3G) and the end. Already as a soloist, Brotons works both as a musical journalist (Self, Dinamo, Transversal, Ruta 66, Rock & Clàssic, Rock Sound / Rock Zone, Very Metal, etc) and as a musician with a sonorous production in progression, a constant delirium under the name Música Veneno: five CDs until now, cooked by himself and which, thanks to Hazard Records (Barcelona), are available by mail and also as files that can be downloaded for free from the internet. Camouflaged behind the Musica Veneno screen, Brotons gives free rein to his permanent influences (Residents, Faust, Negativland, Superelvis...), and his presence has been tolerated, sometimes even applauded, at festivals such as LEM, BAM and Zeppelin from Barcelona and the Freestyle from Terrassa, plus at different spaces of Barcelona's area such as Sidecar, CCCB and Teatreneu.
If this wasn't enough, lately Brotons is also a member of Sons Of Bronson, a noise group that mixes through the sampler the Japanese style of noise, the guttural spasms of the death metal, seventies rock'n'roll and the squeaks and buzzes of the craziest experimental music. Sons Of Bronson have performed several times, edited one CD and a half and conspired to make Barcelona a less modern, affected and correct place.
