YUSSUF JERUSALEM

2010-11-29T05:39:00.000-08:00

"A Heart Full Of Sorrows" is available in Europe via Born Bad (The Magnetix, Cheveu...). It's short, tight, dark and raw. And it sounds lo-fi, pop, garage and psyche. If you like people like Rocky Erickson, Oblivians, Lee Hazlewood, Jay Reatard, Oblivians, The Kinks or even The Sangri La's, you will love Yussuf Jerusalem.

We didn't find some time to do the Partie de Chasse session. We just did the photograph. But the drummer, Fabrice, replied to our questions via e-mail. Here are his answers. We kept the 100% french version of it.

Yussuf Jerusalem played at Le Tipi in Liège on 25th of november 2010.

What album are you the most jealous of, for any reason?

Where or what
city could you live/spend more time?

Fabrice :

En groupe actuels, je dirai sans hésiter l'album des Ex-humans, un putain de band de brooklyn, j'ai joué avec eux lors de ma dernière tournée aux states avec les crusaders of love, une dizaine de dates environ et chaque soir j'étais sur le cul de leur set car leurs morceaux sonnent punk mais pas genre bourrin poum chack et on balance trois accords de merde en hurlant, leurs morceaux sont hyper bien structurés, bien pensé, parfois mélodique tout en gardant ce côté primaire, crado, pour moi c'est LE groupe de punk, des bons gros branleurs sévèrement burnés en party quasi H24 avec une musique qui a des couilles.

Fabrice :

Putain dur... en europe je dirai, la suède ou la norvège, pour ces putains de paysages, forêts à perte de vue, surmontées par de majestueuses montagnes le tout recouvert de neige, ça donne envie d'aller s'y aventurer et de rencontrer des elfes, des trolls, des nains, des druides tout ces personnages qui font partie du folklore, quand tu vois ces paysages, ça te donne trop envie de croire que ce genre de merde existe et c'est peut être le cas, de plus en ville ils ont des burgers king.....et aussi parce-que les filles là-bas sont magnifiques, aux shows, jamais vu autant de paquets au mètre carré et puis merde quoi, le black metal est né là bas, c'est déjà une raison suffisante...

What is your main activity but music?	What website would you like to share ?
Fabrice : Fumer des gros pillons, je pense que la réponse sera la même chez les autres hahaha	Fabrice : Le nouveau falco, mattez bien les premiers clips c les meilleurs : http://www.alexander-marcus.de/

TAKKA TAKKA

2010-11-24T04:26:00.000-08:00

Even it can looks like that, Takka Takka is not just one more indie band from the actual Brooklyn scene. These four nice guys recorded a first album "We Feel Safer At Night" in 2006 and toured with their new friends of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to promote it. In 2008, they released "Migration" in USA. This beautiful album is produced by Sean Greenhalgh of CYHSY and features guests performances by Bryan Devendort (The National) and Lee Sargent (CYHSY). Takka Takka sounds singular : it's sophisticated but simple. Just listen the great single 'Silence" : it's epic, ethnic, tight and light. "Migration" is available in Europe since sepember 2010 thanks to Lili Is Pi. A new album is coming in 2011.

Takka Takka played at L'Escalier in Liège on 22th of november 2010.

DAAU

2010-11-04T08:51:00.000-07:00

The long and odd sounding name "Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung" comes from a Herman Hess' novel : "Der Steppenwolf". But in Belgium it's more relative to a band that comes from Antwerp. The guys of DAAU are a classical music quartet with a huge taste for experimentations. They always tried new things mixing strings, cello, violin, accordion and clarinet with hip-hop, jazz, gyspy and rock. Their last album's called "The Sheperd's Dream" and it's a five tracks journey in their still romantic and singular universe!

DAAU played at Les Chiroux in Liège on 24th of October 2010.

MAGIC ARM

2010-09-27T08:56:00.000-07:00

Behind Magic Arm, there's one man : the multi-intsrumentist Marc Rigelsford. He lives in Manchester and he's a one-man band but this time, we don't talk about rock & roll! The debut album "Make List, Do Something" sounds as catchy as experimental and as elecronica as folk... you got it? Last but not least, Iron & Wine's Samuel Beam described Rigelsford as 'the master of the loop pedal.

Magic Arm played at Le Tipi in Liège on 24th of September 2010.

His contribution to the rock&roll scene is so huge that we couldn't list it. Between two Oblivians' reunions, he relased a few solo albums and others with the Tearjerkers. By the way, the Jack Oblivian's songwriting is raw, heartbroken and simply beautiful as a few. On this 2010 tour he played with two other Memphis great dudes - Harlan T. Bobo and John Paul Keith - as a a happy family. "No ego"!
