Jean-Pierre Poirier (died 2000) alias Jerry Wanker alias Jerry WX was from Brussels, Belgium.

He played guitar in several punk rock bands.

Jerry WX started out with Chainsaw (the first punk band in Brussels and the French speaking part of Belgium) together with Micky Mike (aka Snowy Red). After only one 7" Chainsaw called it quits and Jerry moved on for a short stint in X-Pulsion with the Klang-brothers (1 split 7" with Streets).

Next step was away from punk with Digital Dance together with Streets keyboard player Jean-Marc Lederman (The Weathermen). After Digital Dance he went into different side projects (with ex-Digital Dancers Stephan Barbery and TVIC), to finally find his ultimate love in the garage rock band The Revenge. Like his former partner in crime Micky Mike he also went into production and session work for many known an unknown Belgian bands, until his death.
