DF n°160, Interview with VOLCANO THE BEAR, June 18th, 2012


By the end of March, we went to see several times Volcano the Bear during their French tour. After their show in Albi, we had a long conversation with Daniel Padden and Aaron Moore and here is the recording of it. Of course, we talked about their new album, Golden Rhythm/Ink Music, but also about many other subjects, from pataphysics to record covers, from the themes of identity and sound to the virtues of forgetfulness.

DF n°159, Interview with ATTIC TED, June 4th, 2012


By the end of March and beginning of April, our long-time Texas-based hero Attic Ted came to France for a first tour in our country. We were very enthusiastic about this meeting and we talked extensively about the 10-year-old story of Attic Ted, the masks, art, and this weird carnivalesque post-punk gothic country noisy lo-fi sound that we have never heard anywhere else. We also explored the story of the label Pecan Crazy on which we find a lot of other very interesting bands. Apart from this, during this show, we talked about the release on DVD of Masaki Kobayashi's cruel classic Hara-kiri.
The photos below were taken in France, the first one in Plateforme (Paris) by Marjory, the second one in Fleurs du Mal (Toulouse) by Max.
