Interview with Marta Sui Tubi

Sure, Marta sui Tubi are not exactly a band able to sit still for long. As reflected in the more than 100 tour dates Sushi & coca following the release of the last self-titled album in late 2008, culminating with a stop in Sardinia in the Summer Grooves Sarroch cooperative organized by Vox Day, scheduled this Thursday at Villa Siotto Sarroch (in hours: nonsense). Witness the fact that this year the band has felt the need to "break the abstinence new song" - in the words of John Gulino, lead singer of Martha - and come out with a new single which is a starter on the new album, which still has no release date but which have been registered so far a dozen pieces (four or five already are presented in person). The song is titled Without a network, was released only on the web - you can buy it on iTunes and various online stores - and that song was also made a video clip shot by Ence Faithful and Corrado Lorenzo Vasquez available, of course, also on YouTube. "This is a song very cool, disengaged, pop, Marta Sui Tubi much musically but more carefree lyrical level," says John. "There seemed to make perfect a summer song, quiet, not going to represent us in the mind thoughts too complicated. " It is a track that accentuates the rhythmic side of the Sicilian band but retains within itself the traces of what has become the "brand" of Marta Sui Tubi, a very sophisticated and complex approach to the arrangements and song structures (in some ways almost "prog" and not look like a dirty word) mediated by an impact rock that is exalted above all live. From his debut as a duo almost just voice and guitar (that of Carmelo Pipitone) to the battery Ivan Paolini, until new enty Paolo Piscitelli (keyboards Sardinia) and the new cellist Matt Woods, the work The band has always maintained its original character but try new solutions, without running the risk of recurrence. "The mood is always our composition, but over time thickens the sound and structure in a different way," says John. "We get bored when we hear the music in four quarters, very simple. There is always something already heard. Our idea is to do different things, and which remain. We do not want to make records meteor riding the trend of the moment. And we are not afraid to displace the listener with moments alienating. " Moreover, this attitude of Marta Sui Tubi has always been well represented in the work of the band. Almost an ethical, if you will, that feeds the respect of listening and live music almost as a mission. " It is no coincidence that the band have always refused, until now, the courting of major labels, maintaining control over their music and their creative process through the creation of a personal label, the drums used. "In the past we have signed contracts that we came out with force, not loved the pressure and wanted to do the things they like us, with our times, without being around people who earn money from us without doing anything," says the singer band. "If there was a label that the fine investing pennies and give us the artistic freedom, then we would be happy. But now we like so. We have everything we need to make records. " And speaking of records, but also growing curiosity about the new album, the fifth in a career that so far has consolidated its stature as one of the best bands in the independent circuit outputs zero out over the years. "We are traveling on new types of sounds, do not even know if" no network "will be released at the end of the disc," says John. "Certainly the mood of the album will be darker. There are moments of madness and deeper and more introspective. " Andrea Tramonte, Unione Sarda

Interview Gardens Miro

"We publish a disc only when you really believe our geological era has arrived, a moment that marks a real difference. We are not musicians by profession and we outside of the dynamic record. " If there really is a matter of Giardini di Miro is worth emphasizing that this is what we deduce from the words of Conrad Nuccini, singer and guitarist of the band that will be in concert next Friday at Villa Siotto to Sarroch Sarroch in the Summer Groove Vox Day organized by musical attitude that led them to retain artistic restlessness and the ability to reinvent itself - but without force - in nearly fifteen years of his career and in the midst of four official records, several ep, collaborations and outputs side. Born in 1995 in Cavriago, a center of Emilia Romagna eleven thousand souls who gave birth also to Offlaga Disco Pax (and Orietta Berti) and where it was rumored that Lenin was honorary mayor of the town, the Gardens have been since the Miro time of their first self-produced EP (dated 1998) one of the most original names in the receipt of post-rock sound in Italy, quickly becoming the most important interpreters but without becoming prisoners of those who later became the style of the genre. For example, in 2007 they released a record, Dividing Opinions, which could channel their style in a more square, linked to the song form and the use of voice, incorporating also diindietronica shoegaze elements and in the meantime we had started to attend and to meditate in their sound. A record that seemed important to have marked the path more defined. But in 2009 he released The Fire (Unhip Records), which marked the return of the long instrumental band of the early years, but with a drier sound, balanced, dominated by a sense of proportion and rigorous style of almost extreme. The album was actually not even be an album. It was the soundtrack, commissioned by the Museo Nazionale del Cinema of Turin, a silent film of 1915, the fire of John Pastrone. "From an experience that was to be tied to a single concert at the end we realized that that was in effect our new record, "says Nuccini. "Creativity can take many initial sparks. Sometimes having a towel is not a limit but can be a map in which things move and develop with their own originality. " The band's approach to work was to communicate with the image without distorting it. "We thought if we had tried to make a dress that was fitting for the film, we would have lost the challenge from the start. We decided to use a dress that was to our own, perhaps with the risk of minor moments of harmony or philology with the film, but at least produce a result staff. And beyond singing or not to sing with this record we went back to a more nocturnal, dark and stripped that well represents our soul melodramatic. " At Sarroch Summer Groove, the band will offer the show tied to the fire, with the screening of the film and its soundtrack (opening night of the play De Grinpipol Sassari). In recent concerts, the band began to offer some new songs that should go to be part of the band's fifth album. "I certainly will not sound very optimistic and cheerful," says Nuccini. "Our records have a soul in a certain way and carry out our social perceptions of the reality around us. A reality that you are laddered, both politically and socially. My experience of 36 year-old musician does not make me see the world with optimism. But there is the will to continue to do our part, and it is every day stronger. "

recently came out in a network compilation, Other gardens, which contains some songs from the band's discography reinterpreted by many artists already known (His Clancyness, Banjo or Freakout, Comaneci, Bob Corn, Stefano Pilia) and other less Note the Italian music scene. "This disk was born a little 'game, as half a joke," says Corrado Nuccini. "I say half because in the end the result was very good and involving reality worthy of note that represent the best of today's music scene. We are always difficult to answer the question of how the Italian music scene. In the end, however, this compilation has already been answered. " One of the characteristics of the compilation, which demonstrate a little 'the role of musical reference of the Gardens through their website that they have specifically asked for unsigned bands, youth will be challenged in the realization of their cover in order to put the best compilation. And the response was very positive. "They came more than thirty covers, through the network, with a message on Facebook or Twitter," says Nuccini. "It was amazing see a response like that. And in the end there are four or five songs we have heard so, by bands who wanted to participate and gave us a cover sent through the channels of the web ". ( Andrea Tramonte, Unione Sarda )

How To Stretch Your Scrotum

American indie, Michael Azerrad (Arcana Editions)

If in recent times is the oxymoron used to describe certain indie-mainstream band, something must have happened in recent years in the world of independent music: a kind of moving the concept from its original content with a vague sense that tends to incorporate a lot of things, too distant from those who have been for twenty years, the aesthetic codes that represent the musical universe "indie" (post hardcore, lo-fi, noise, alt-country, slowcore, post-rock, indie pop) and those related to the ethical concept of self-production and do it yourself. Also because of the fact that today's music market is mainly based on small labels and the majors have lost Microtrend and space and relevance, category ultimately could be applied to anyone. But not only in recent years have witnessed a "genetic mutation", where the term - writes journalist Carlo Bordone - means "a product category and style, mostly children, even the boom of the Strokes and hundreds of their clones ". Of course not only, but in perception, particularly among detractors, too. Why are greeted with enthusiasm the Italian release of a book by American journalist Michael Azerrad, American indie. 1981-1991 (Arcana Editions, original title, "Our Band Could Be Your Life). It is a beautiful book that examines the foundations of that revolution in the eighties underground that laid the foundations for good the best independent rock in the years to come, until 1991 - the year of Nirvana's Nevermind, the year in which the alternative rock reached the top of the Billboard charts unleashing a hunt for the majors until the final band of the independent in search of another strike of the economic worth of the band of Kurt Cobain. Although there are exclusions painful (and only version "americanocentrica") refers to critical bands like Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Beat Happening, Dinosaur Jr, Big Black and Fugazi and labels like SST, Sub Pop, K Records, Dischord and Touch & Go The beginnings of the birth of a network of small labels, independent radio, zines, small record shops that he started an alternative system to the mainstream music market, where they could find space music projects for a different audience, niche, supported by enthusiastic word of mouth and the love of fans and critics: an underground network based on cooperation, a "cultural underground railroad" in America that Reagan - and in opposition to that America - he realized that a printed record "was not the mysterious privilege reserved for large companies" and began to produce materials that music majors were never printed. It was the opening of possibilities generated by the punks, "anyone can do it." And then the spirit: the pursuit of an uncompromising artistic ideal. DIY rebellion. The work ethic. The idea of \u200b\u200bmaking music without necessarily being the star. Moreover, as the Minutemen said: "Look at us, we are just like you: three losers from the provinces are trying. Why do not you try it yourself? ". ( Andrea Tramonte, Unione Sarda 15/08/2010)

How Often Can I Donate Blood If I Use The Alyx

notes scattered on the H I Stay Festival 2010 The Hare

Before the fest I thought I could write a report every day for three days to recount the Hare I Stay Festival in almost real time. But as I thought there was no time and modo.Ora, ten days away, it seems to me just drop a line - with the proviso that it is a view from "within" - beautiful on an issue that reveals how the festival is growing well and that looks edition next year with renewed optimism. Here.

I Stay at Her Stuff happens. It's Sunday night, now the festival is running with the (few) remaining energy left to those who have experienced this issue since the early afternoon of Friday, alternating days at the beach and concerts throughout the weekend. Raw Rave Groove I have just finished flashing the stage with a truly lethal live, proving - if proof were still needed - that this is a mature band despite the young age, ready to leap the final and a European tour to hold a high level.

After a few minutes apart from a DJ set that was not in the program: the Oneida jumped on the mixing desk of the white stage and started to select some 'music from their iPod. Typically, the third day you do not program the DJ set because people come last Sunday night's live a little, 'we say, "boiled". But there still want to be there, to refer more possibileil when once again we must leave behind the Here I Stay, and wait a year for the new edition.

The Oneida funk stuff to start with then continue with hip hop and nineties nell'electro forays. Only the day before the New York band had known what it is: a live in high volumes with a devastating sound that alternates repetitive kraut, psychedelic, hard rock and pure noise, literally shakes the ears of those who stood in front of the stage (the whistle to my left ear was gone after two days). A monstrous live - there is no other adjective to describe it - which has amply repaid the efforts to have them brought from New York to play in a small Sardinian festival on the outskirts of a village in the Middle Campidano.

And there they were the Oneida, Sunday night around half past two to three, apparently Oneida these same the day before, waving their arms and improvised ballets choreographed with the public and the band left, revealing a lightness and an ability to get involved in that fund, having heard live on the day before, you would not have expected. View drummer Kid Millions, who did things on Saturday alien on his arms and carried a live music over an hour of almost seamlessly, taking the stage and rock out and have fun without mediation and compromise. Some did not appreciate, the majority of respondents understood and interpreted well the spirit in which it was made the set. And it went on until late, until people - tired - did not begin to withdraw in tents, to return home or b & b. And so the curtain fell also on the issue of the 2010 festival.

all'His Stuff happens. In a festival where there are no barriers between the band, staff and public, where everyone participates together at the same party where the atmosphere that reigns here is pure intimacy and friendship - may sound trivial or even silly or rhetorical, but it's true, and it is an aspect of the festival for which I Stay Here really is a difference .

*****

One of the satisfactions I Stay Festival at Her best is when you talk to some of the bands involved, one of those who come for the first time, and express their happiness (sincere , not of fact) for being invited. In a friendly festival hosted by a beautiful location close to the sea of \u200b\u200bunparalleled Costa Verde. They are small things that comfort in the annual effort to move forward with this experience.
it is not easy to pull on a festival like this. The concept of "do-it-yourself" in Italy was a bit 'disgraced, but the core remains the same: to do things on its own merits, without compromising on artistic choices (never a hustler, maybe to get some more input that would give greater financial security), with a group of eight guys who can divide the tasks and that arrived at the threshold of the festival, you plant the Sleepwalkers Guspini several days before the start, working to set up everything and prepare for Friday. It is a festival pulled up risking the hard way, betting on their work. Every year we try to make it grow a little 'more, in the hope that sooner or later will get more financial security with the ability to raise even more the level of the line-up.

****

A betting this year was included in the line-up a project completely alien to the context "rock" and "pop" and "folk" and "electronic" typical dell'His , a project originally Seneghe tenor, on contractual seneghesu . Their performance has been included on Sundays, after the live of Cagliari Everybody Tesla - live looping with recreational use of headings, where a catchy pop style is coupled with a shot, sometimes open and sometimes experimental dancefloor - and that of His Bolognese Clancyness - Cheh brought a perfect dream pop dreamy, reverberated in the timetable in which it was placed, when the sun was going down permanently - and drew the entire audience of the festival under the stage, so intrigued by the unusual presence. It was nice to see how the audience responded with warm enthusiasm and a deep esteem that were revealed by the respectful silence with which the show was heard. Many have moved. It might seem like a gamble and instead was beautiful.

**** One of the most curious live with that expected at the festival was that of Buzz Aldrin . The band had Bolognese listened to in streaming the tracks of the first EP, released on the casket Secret Furry Hole and inside there I found much of what ultimately I like it: a dark and haunting sound that revises an original post-punk British and American influences (Wire , Suicide), suggestions shoegaze, garage and even a cover shot of the Silver Apples. Live all'His were huge. The sound on stage takes a thick - almost in the sense of matter - which has no disk, and a rock that impact is greatly enhanced compared to that of the tape recordings. Percussive, powerful, even violent, personal opinion - and without wanting to do wrong to the other bands that played - one of the best live all'His.

Without being able to reflect on all different sequences also point - besides the already mentioned - the beautiful concert Trees of Mint, which the festival has brought the new live entirely based on instrumental compositions for guitar and loops, with a few agreements are repeated for the duration of songs and sounds that create a contiguous series of small but significant changes in the structure of the piece. All accompanied by visual projection for the entire course of the concert. All very nice seriously: do not miss the item and does not feel even the lack of taste that "pop" which had also led to some very incisive pieces (Today Polaroid). There is a sense balance and measure, a taste and a strong sensitivity in the new Live Trees of Mint that reveal an artist deeply developed.
nonsense was presented on stage with a brand new band. A band that has accentuated the rock side of his music with him - without a guitar - free to move on stage and pull off the vocal cords a grim new release, which will spotlight the whole image of the last live (often only guitar and vocals) and raised in a big way. The first Nick Cave, but also the Movie Star Junkies, a few steps. I also very much appreciated Criminal Jokers and Drink To Me, both excellent writers live in the frame of the stage "small". They completed the lineup: the Sardinians Plasma Expander , Love Boat, Two Bit Dezperados , Thee Oops, Children's Music (very good), Comaneci (creepy as usual), GI Joe (considerable), the English Mujeres and Bradien the Danesin My Bubba and I, the British Cold Pumas , Americans Jonesin ', and still Signorafranca (including veterans of the scene Cagliari e) and Three Second Kiss (high-impact, too). DJ set on Saturday and end on Friday by Michael Myers and Tavrvs .

To close, I refer you to the first reports released so far (will update the list as they come out the other):
