DF n°161, Interview with RRR, July 2nd, 2012

Two years ago, we received an ambient/drone project named Clone in our radio studios for a live session. It was quite new at the time. Now it has evolved and become part of a larger entity named RRR. Behind it is the same person : Sébastien Bach. During these two years, he released six records and the latest one, Level 75, was released on Nowaki label. We talked about all the things that happened during those two years and explored these new recordings. We also invited him to come back for a new live session in the studios. So it should happen one of these days.

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.

DF n°158, Interview with ROME and Review of Aldo Chimenti's DEATH IN JUNE : A l'Ombre des Runes, May 21st, 2012

On April 9th, we went to see Michael Gira perform in Paris. To our great surprise, we met Jérôme Reuter from band ROME in the first row. He had come especially from Luxembourg to attend this unique French show. After the concert, we went outside in the rain and talked about his last trilogy, Die Aesthetik der Herrschaftsfreiheit, the things to come and Jérôme's passion for Michael Gira. A pleasant improvised moment.

During this radio show, we also reviewed the book by Aldo Chimenti, Death in June : à l'ombre des runes. It was an opportunity to listen to a lot of Death in June's songs and to read excerpts from books that have been very influential for Douglas Pearce since Chimenti talks extensively about three authors in his biography of the band : Mishima, Jean Genet and Drieu La Rochelle.

Here's the playlist :

SWANS, Will we survive

ROME, Rape blossoms, Die Brandstifter, Families of Eden, Der Wolfsmantel, Reversion, A pact of blood, The secret sons of Europe, Das Unbedingte, The Merchant Fleet, Querkraft, Wir götter der Stadt, Nera.

DF n°157, Interviews with PLUS INSTRUMENTS (Truus de Groot + Toon Bressers) & THE TOBACCONISTS (Scott Foust + Frans de Waard), May 7th, 2012

According to us, the best moments of last month's Sonic Protest festival in Paris were the shows and performances by Plus Instruments, Truus de Groot and The Tobacconists.

Plus Instruments is the project of Dutch cult synth-post-punk-euro-beat queen Truus de Groot. She started her career in the late seventies. At that time, she met notably Michel Waiszvich, who gave her access to the Crackle Synthesizer, and the musicians from the band Nasmak, notably Toon Bressers with whom she is still working. In the early eighties, she went to New York, played notably with Rhys Chatham and Lee Renaldo then she moved to Memphis, Seattle, and finally California. During all these years, she has explored various music genres, from wierd psychobilly to alien exotica. We met her and Toon and explored step by step the whole career of this eccentric lady.

The Tobacconists is the new project of Scott Foust (XX Committee, Idea Fire Company) and Frans de Waard (Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen), entirely dedicated to their passion for cigarettes. We spoke with them after their show, before taking the last subway.
