Biography
there are at least two bands with the name metamatics.
1) Lee Norris was born Le Nonriz in Strasbourg on the French-German border in 1963. In 1970 while on a school field trip to the Arndale Centre in Manchester, England he became distracted whilst wetting himself and got seperated from the group and subsequently lost. Before long he had adopted a slouch typical of the area and had started speaking french and german, his native tongues, with a decidedly Mancunian accent. "Ja mein cheri, ich liebe le chips and gravy." After mastering English eventually he gained full British Citizenship in 1975, he celebrated by moving to North Wales where under indecipherable Welsh law it's technically illegal to be English. The young Lee desperately wanted to continue his French-German hobby of singing in a band, in an attempt to remain unidentified as an English boy he decided to switch to playing the synthesizer, he bought a red Roland SH-101 from a confiscated goods auction in Bala and the rest.. is history.
