yeti [May. 28th, 2007|08:31 pm]
[Tags|, ]



пока у нас тут плавятся мозги от жары, на туманном альбионе выплавляются новые прекрасные музыки. Yeti принято было считать ошметками бывшей славы Libertines. Но они всем своим независимым видом показывают, что это отнюдь не так. У них куда больше песен, чем у грязных штучек карла, ответы с долей сдержанности и лаконичности, а из рассказов - история про фартуки и мытье посуды. Словом, они то, что англичане назовут reserved lads. Автор - великолепная  Надя  [info]beta_gaga
First of all when is your album coming?

Later this year. Ish.

Will it sound like your songs from your EP and singles or will it be different in some way?

Different. We're now a four piece so everyone's more important. And we gotta have more cowbell.

What music are each of you listening to right now?


We listen mainly to each other's songs. Our main influences are Yeti. That and Justin Timberlake singing about his dick in a box.

What's your inspiration to create a new song?

Girls, lawyers and managers. Not in that order.

How can you describe your music for those, who hadn't listened to it?


Bittersweet Countryside Pop. With no added sugar.

If you had a chance to change your place with anyone you like, who would it be?

Roman Abramovich.

Is it true that you (Harmony) shared a flat with Carl Barat? How did you like him as your flatmate?

I did. It was good to have such a handsome young man to do the washing up. He had one of those comedy aprons with a naked woman on and we used roll around in the soap suds together. Then Pete got jealous and turned to the evils of Cola.

We know that Harmony took part in some short films. Did you (Harmony) like it and are you planning to experience it once again?

If they give me my own trailer and i get to act opposite Anna Faris, yes. Definitely. In fact i wouldn't even need the trailer, I understand she has recently filed for divorce, so i'm back in with a chance. I'd sleep in the bath to be near her.

What do you (John) like more: to be the part of the Libertines with all its fame and recognition or enjoy yourself and your bandmates with indie Yeti?

Yeti obviously!

What is so special about each of you? Any funny habits?

Graham is from Blackpool and thinks Johnny Borrels new bird has small norks. John attends Danish boot camps and has that condition Silas Marner had where he'd just stop operating for hours on end. Andy uses oranges as pillows. Harmony mimes guitar. And picks his nose.

How can you describe Russia as you see it in three adjectives?

Putin, Lenin, Dostoevsky.

Whatever [May. 11th, 2007|02:23 pm]
[Tags|, ]

Группа The Cribs снискала себе славу "пьяниц и умниц", друзей группы Kaiser Chiefs и мастеров по паданию с неба на столы церемонии NME-awards. Новый альбом на подходе и в сети, а пока три брата-красавца отвечают на вопросы StalkingMusic.


Ryan Gary Ross



Firstly, can you tell us, what so special about each of you? Any funny habits?
I do this weird thing with the back of my throat, which kind of sounds like a pig. The strange part is, I only do it in my sleep. On tour to keep costs down, I share a room with our back line tech, and he also grinds his teeth during the night. Our room must sound like a farm during the night.
I don’t see myself as special. I used to be obsessive compulsive, so I had LOADS of funny habits.
I’m still in the grip of loads of obsessions, me and Gary argue about it all the time…I set my mind on really strange things and won’t give up on them, I don’t want to bore you with the details though…

Have you ever fight for toys when you were kids?
No. I always gave in to Ryan. I am a diplomat. Or weak. You decide.

Your new album was produced by Alex Kapranos? How was it to work with him?
Working with Alex was really easy. We spent two months touring America with Franz Ferdinand at the beginning of 2006, so we all spent at lot of time together, and realized we had a lot in common regarding what records we liked. When Alex approached us about producing the new record, it made more sense than going in with a standard modern day producer, because Alex new the manifesto of the band etc, as he had seen our live show every night for two months.
It was good to work with people that you respect and are actually up for letting you do pretty much what you want…we had a lot of the same ideas as Alex so we worked together really well. We’re not exactly the kind of band that would let someone produce our record, we always tend to kick against stuff like that, so he must be doing something right…

What influenced you while you were working at this album? What's your inspiration to create a new song?
We usually just get together and jam in our practice room. A new song usually comes along when we have had a little time off from playing.
Our situation is definitely different now than when we did the last record, we have all gone on different paths lately and I think we all brought different things to the record, which made writing it really enjoyable.
It came together so quickly because we all had lived our own lives this time and so when we got together we all had loads and loads of ideas and inspirations we were itching to get out…their really is a lot of things that’s influenced it, mostly for me though it’s been things that have irritated me or that continue to irritate me. I can be such a brat sometimes.

How can you describe your music for those, who hadn't listened to it?
Punk Rock
Punk Rock

All our readers are really curious – did Ryan hurt himself during his salto at the NME awards ceremony year ago?
Yes, I injured myself really badly and almost died. I fell on a table full of glass and a big vase full of sweets smashed and stabbed me in the kidneys. I had to go to hospital twice and got over 30 stitches…they were preparing me for the worst.
I’m sick of talking about it now!

What music are each of you listening to right now?
I recently asked our record label (Wichita) for a copy of the Peter, Bjorn and John record, as they are on the same label here in the UK. Wichita sent me a few promo albums, and amongst them were a band called the Bronx, who we once played with in London. Recently I have been listening to that record a lot in my car lately.
Love is All I really like, Shrag – a riot pop band from Brighton, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks are recording a new album right now which should be ace.
Not that much for me.

If you had a chance to change your place with anyone you like, who would it be?
I really wouldn’t be into doing that, I’m comfortable in my own skin. I don’t think I’d be up for it even as a bizarre, perverse experiment.

What’s on your rider?
Well Gary and Ryan are both Vegetarian, so we tend to have a load of Vegetarian stuff on there. We also get all your necessities, like a crate of water, crate of beer and a bottle of Whiskey or Rum. The only slightly odd request we make, is that we ask for a lucky bag- its like a bag of sweets and toys that you get when you are a kid. Its sometimes nice to have something to do when you are sat around in the dressing room waiting for ages, so with a lucky bag, there are toys to build and little activities to do. We usually smash the toys towards the end of the night too, as that can be fun too.
The destruction of the dressing room always begins with the smashing of toys.

How can you describe Russia as you see it in three adjectives?
Big, Exciting, Real

the more assured in russian [May. 6th, 2007|11:49 am]
[Tags|, ]

если кто-то еще позорно не знает английского, то специально для вас интервью the more assured на русском =)

И чем сейчас занимается группа the more assured? даете концерты, записываетесь в студии? Когда от вас альбома ждать?

Мы только записали первый сингл, он выйдет в мае.

Что планируете делать в будущем? У вас уже есть идеи, как порвать этот мир на кусочки?

Ну, мы только хотели записать альбом и выпустить его в 2008 году.

К разговору о группах с myspace: один юноша на вашей странице на lastfm написал в комментариях о вас же: «когда они прорвутся, вы все только будете почесывать головы и спрашивать «arctic кто»? вот увидите. Вы не пожалеете.» Как вы относитесь к arctic monkeys и прочим nmeшным группам, по которым сегодня все с ума сходят?

arctic monkeys - хорошая группа! У них бы ни с того, ни с сего не появилось столько фанатов! И вообще нам нравится, как сегодня люди фанатеют от музыки, да лучше и быть не может. На наших концертах тоже иногда народ приколбашивает,клуб могут несколько изуродовать, но все не агрессивно. Забавно, в общем.

В блоге на myspace вы написали об очень смешной истории про то, как вас спутали с the libertines. Что вы думаете об этой группе? Не беспокоит ли вас нынешнее состояние Пита, его пристрастия всякие нехорошие?

Нам вообще-то по фиг до всех этих проблем Пита с наркотиками, но у него были хорошие песни, да. the libertines были хорошей группой, а babyshambles – по-моему, нет.
Вообще в прессе всегда говорят о звездах и их пристрастиях к наркотикам, что отвлекает внимание от того, чем эти звезды занимаются-то!

А вот у вас как с этим делом? Наркотики, алкоголь?

Эл мало пьет, Слинки не пьет вообще никогда, а Джош и Норуэй бухают каждые выходные и помногу. Наркотики в нашей жизни не присутствуют.

Вы много занимаетесь спортом?

Эл и Слинки тренируются почти каждый день – пресс, утренние пробежки. Эл еще два раза в неделю занимается кунг фу в зале, а дома так вообще каждый день ногами машет.

Как у вас с карьерой в кино? Правда, что Стивен Фрай написал для вас первый сценарий?

НЕТ!! Это я написал! Он его просмотрел, сказал, что можно было бы исправить. Это очень мило с его стороны, так как он очень-очень занят.

Ваша страсть к кино заметна и в коротких роликах с youtube. Будете ли еще загружать подобные видео?

Да! У нас еще несколько штук есть, и мы их скоро выложим, и еще несколько в проекте.

Ваши видео свидетельствуют о том, что у вас интересная и довольно забавная жизнь. Расскажите, как проходит ваш обычный день. Какие у вас вообще отношения в группе?

Слинки и я живем вместе, много шалим и вообще творим Бог весть что. Сейчас в топе наших любимых занятий первое место занимает бросание яиц в проезжающие автобусы. И знаете, это так м...м...м... обескураживает пассажиров!

Почему у вас такие странные погонялова? (al your pal – твой друг al, mr.joshua– мистер Иисус, slinky – в облипочку, sunbeam - лучик and Norway – Норвегия)

Макс и Дэн из Cajun Dance Party начали называть нашего барабанщика Norway, с тех пор к нему прилепилось это прозвище. Слинки он и всегда был Слинки, Джоша мы теперь зовем его настоящим именем, а Эла мы называем Алексом.

Какая музыка на вас повлияла?

Да вся: от Squeaky bags до величайших музыкантов этой планеты. Невозможно перечислить все! oasis, bloc party, franz ferdinand, rem, coldplay, blur, paul weller, rage against the machine, nirvana, the beatles – да все!

Кто, по-вашему, самый великий музыкант?

Думаю, лучше было бы спросить, какая песня самая великая. Я никогда не встречал музыканта, который был бы намного лучше других, но некоторые люди могут создавать такие красивые вещи! Концертная версия 'While my guitar gently weeps', исполненная Эриком Клэптоном и Джорджем Харрисоном, наверное, самая красивая песня, которую я когда-либо слышал.

the more assured [May. 2nd, 2007|08:11 pm]
[Tags|, , ]



Наш прекрасный корреспондент, ценитель и просто очень милая, красивая и умная девушка Надя [info]keen_on_nothing  little by little подбиралась к молодому коллективу The More Assured, и, наконец добравшись, вызнала всю правду о нелегкой жизни музыкантов. Какую именно - читаем в эксклюзивном интервью для StalkingMusic!



What are you guys doing at the moment? gigs, recording? when is an album coming out?
We have recorded our first single and this will be out at the end of May!

What are your plans for the future? Are you going to break in the hall of fame like other myspace-bands did it?
We plan to write and record enough songs for an Album and release it in 2008.

Speaking about myspace-bands: a guy at last.fm in the comments on your page wrote about you: "when they break, you'll be saying 'arctic who?' check them out. you won't regret it". (and that's true) what is your attitude to arctic monkeys and other new nme groups that make people going mad nowadays?
Arctic Monkeys are good! They wouldnt have all those fans for no reason! We love the way people go crazy for music these days, it couldnt be better. We have people go crazy at our gigs and sometimes tear the room apart that we are playing in, but without being violent. Its so much fun.

At your myspace blog you wrote a funny story about you were mistaken for the libertines. People say the libs were the greatest band of 2000s. And what do you think about them and current ado about pete doherty and his drug-addiction?
I dont care much for Pete Doherty's addictions and the attention given to them, but some of his songs are good. The Libertines were good, Babyshambles arent good at all in my opinion. A lot of attention is given to celebrities and drug-taking, which distracts from the music!

And what about drugs? alcohol? At your homepage you wrote that you've been very keen on sports. Do you still do training?
Al and Slinky train nearly every day - we do pressups and go for a run every morning. Al trains in Kung Fu twice a week and practises it everyday. He doesnt drink much alcohol, Slinky doesnt drink any at all! Josh does and Norway does every weekend (a lot!). Drugs dont figure in our lives.

What about your film career? Is it true that Stephen Fry wrote the 1st draft?
He didnt write it, I wrote it! He read it though and helped me with it, which was very kind of him as he is very very busy!

Your cinema passion is also seen in your little youtube movies) they are so funny! do you plan to upload some new ones?
Yes! We have quite a few and will upload them soon - we've also got some new ones we need to film!

Your videos prove that you have very funny n interesting life, haha)) Tell us about your band's day. What are you doing and what are your mutual relations?
Slinky and I live together and try to cause trouble and be naughty quite a lot. One of our favourite things to do at the moment is throw eggs at buses. It suprises the people inside!

And by the way why do you have such nicknames (al your pal, mr.joshua, slinky sunbeam and norway)? do you use them in daily talks?
Max and Dan from Cajun Dance Party started calling our drummer Norway and the name has stuck ever since. Slinky has always been called Slinky and no we call Josh by his real name, and we call Al, Alex!

What are your influences?
Everything from Squeaky bags to the greatest bands on earth. Its impossible
to list! oasis, bloc party, franz ferdinand, rem, coldplay, blur, paul weller, rage against the machine, nirvana, the beatles - pretty much everybody really!

Who is the greatest musician on earth in your opinion?
I think a better question is what is the greatest song on earth! I never found one musician who was better than everyone else. but some people create the most beautiful moments. 'While my guitar gently weeps' performed live by Eric Clapton and George Harrison is one of the most beautiful things I've heard.

девоньки из шеффилда угодят всем: и девочкам, и мальчикам, и мартину бресту - гарантирую. девочкам - потому что альбом называется somone to drive your home и такие же девочки поют на нем про клубы по пятницам, сидение дома и то, что to love and be in love - two very different things. мальчикам длинные блондинки понравятся чисто визуально и вокально, ну и всякими такими сухими ба, мартину бресту - потому что у солистки ноги составляют 130 см от всей длины тела.

I’ve been writing on the tube lots in my little notebooks. I’ve got scores of notebooks, I think my life is a series of page ones. I always get a new book, like it’s a fresh start, and do my finest handwriting print in it and it goes awry by page two and by page three I want to start again. So I’ve got a lot of those that I’m pulling together. Good.

Outside of the recording, I noticed that the printed press wasn’t entirely accurate after I spoke to them recently at that NME do ... it just goes to show you have to be careful when you’re mumbling and who you’re mumbling to.

Didz is enjoying his new Rat pedal and playing some sinister stomps that sound grand. I’ve got a wah-wah, but everything on it sounds like porn. I’ll sort it out though.
