Catalogue
Assassins
At the beginning of the 80s, guitarist Jean-Francois Pauvros and trumpeter Jac Berrocal invented the trio Catalogue, responsible for a rather provocative crazy rock with its saturated voices and decadent lyrics...

Brussel Live
Highlights of their first 2 concerts in about 20 years, live in Brussels (2007-2008), shows the trio of Gilbert Artman, Jac Berrocal and Jean-Francois Pauvros anarchistic, powerful and controversial as ever.

"Antwerpen Live" is from 1979, the eponymous album from 1980, "Pénétration" from 1983 & "Insomnie" from 1987. Guitar-player Jean-François Pauvros and drummer Gilbert Artman can also be heard here
