"you know i dont want you and i never did
i dont want you and i never will"
"oh, us? we just like to rock."
really well done site, tons of info and pictures. very nicely packaged.
" No doubt we made music for fun. For fun and to escape boredom. It became very serious when we were eighteen / nineteen years old. That's when we had to decide whether to go to University or not. Most of our friends gave up music to focus on their studies and think about their future. We realized that we were not interested in school anymore and that we wanted to keep up the band. And we were willing to accept crappy little jobs to make it possible. The choice was not easy, but I think I hated school anyway."
" I remember the first real concert we've ever made was for a band competition. We were the only real rock band, all the others were pop or funk- pop, kinda Jamiroquai if you want. We knew we had no chance to win - we were not the best musicians- it was a matter of 'fitting'. So we did the best we could, we took advantage of our feeling of being 'different'. We came on stage with make up all over
our face, we were very aggressive, we played very violently and then we broke everything on stage. All that to say that the will, the attitude meant a lot to us. So we won. And I think that psychologically it changed many things in our heads. Because we came to lose, we expected to lose. And we were angry somehow. And we had just realized at this time that will could replace lots of things. We realized that emotion, the vibrations that you create are as important as your technical skills. We had just discovered something : music is a matter of emotion."
so thats that. and how could you not agree? isnt it everything you want in your musicians?? unfortunately, they released their first album, "Showbiz," on Madonnas Maverick label and it went nowhere. but they've got a new album out called "Origin of Symmetry," featuring the single "Hyper Music," which is so good it makes me bury my head in my pillow and weep for their greatness. its not sad, moody music, its HYPER MUSIC.
