Do you like deep lyrics? Do you have an important message you need to express? Are you tired of cultural vacuousness? Is the cancerous tumor of popular music biting chunks out of your heart?
Then fuck off. My toothaches don't keep the neighbors awake.
Inexperienced musicians, over 18 only. Intelligent but not academic. Aesthetically minded eccentrics. Not afraid of liquor or drugs, but not completely inhibited. Who know a thing or two about good music, especially post-punk. Don't take yourself too seriously and email me! We'll have a drink. Let's do something new and get the kids dancing.
Oh, I need guidance from someone experienced too I guess, a guitarist optimally. A guitarist who can do David Byrne licks.
I don't really like jamming. I prefer to go in knowing we'll write a song. Backing vocals are wonderful. Do-bops and Woo-oohs.
Face it. You're a hipster. You have no identity. Everything you do is appropriated. So who cares? Nothing is authentic; look at Derrida. "Je suis, c'est moi." Mastering concepts is for imbeciles. Interrogation... now that's interesting. If you have nothing to say, but want to say it anyway; this is for you.
NO ONE SUBMITS WILLINGLY.
EVERYONE SUBMITS.
NOTHING IS OBSCURE.
NOTHING IS CLEAR.
WE DO NOT LIVE.
WE ARE NOT DEAD.
WE ARE NEITHER,
EITHER,
BETWEEN,
OR PART OF THE MARGIN.
OR BOTH.
WE ARE NOT OMITTED,
WE ARE NOT INVOLVED,
WE ARE NOT IN PARENTHESES,
INTERESTED,
INTO IT,
OR OUTSIDE.
WE ARE NOT WHO WE ARE.
WE ARE NOT ANYHOW,
IN THE HERE OR THE NOW.
WE ARE NOT.
IT'S TRUE,
WE ARE NOT.
WE ARE you are:
YOU ARE,
WHY. OH. YOU. EH. ARE. EEH.
YOU ARE.
Influences include, in no specific order save the first band: The Fall, The Sonics,
The Stooges (and Iggy's solo stuff too,) The Fire Engines, Josef K.,
Nick Cave's bulky volume of work, Velvet Underground / Lou Reed's solo stuff
(at least the two albums worth listening to,) Talking Heads, James White and the Blacks / Contortions,
Sonic Youth (NY No Wave et al,) Black Angels, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Spacemen 3 / Spiritualized, Orange Juice,
Magazine, David Bowie (as idle idol worship,) The Sound, P Model, CAN, The Clean, Delta 5, The Fiery Furnaces (chiefly Blueberry Boat,)
Gang of Four, The Jesus and Mary Chain, The Kinks, Klaxons (power), Foals (song structure only,)
LCD Soundsystem (even though I hate James Murphy for not mentioning The Fall in I'm Losing My Edge, even as his singing voice is lifted directly from MES,)
Marine Girls (if you're lucky enough to know who that is,) some Pavement, Pixies, The Pop Group, Scott Walker,
Scritti Politti (when they were on Rough Trade, 'Jacques Derrida' especially, that song's great,) and extrapolate from there.
All mixed with strong Of Montreal / The The / Win alt-pop grooves so the cool kids can dance again.
