***** Interview with Thee Piatcions *****

Q. When did Piatcions starts, tell us about the history...

A. Piatcions started few years ago when I and Dave found the drummer we where looking for, Dario. Born as a more garage oriented band we changed line up a couple of times (Dario T., Skaio) before find the right feelings as a 3 man band. During this time our music grew with us till it becomes what it is now.

Q: Who are your influences?

A. We have so many different influences; the principal inspiration comes from all the phsyc/space scene: stuff like my bloody valentine, jesus and mary chain, spacemen 3.. but there are many nuances that come from much more bands.

Q. Made a list of 5 albuns of all time…

• Beatles / Sgt Peppers

• Rolling Stones / 12x5

• Velvet Underground / The Velvet Underground & Nico

• Primal Scream / Vanishing Point

• Spiritualized / Ladies & Gentlemen we’re floating in the space

Q. How do you fell playing alive?

A. It's so exciting and funny! When we play live we do our best, regardless of how much people is watching us, but if you see a lot of people jumping and dancing your music you feel a strong charge and it affects your feelings about playing, as well as the upshot of the show. In addition we play that kind of music that enable you to clear your mind and just think about feelings, while you're playing.

Q. How do you describe Piatcions sounds?

A. We've always looked for a great combination between catchy melodies, wall-of-sound ambients and unconventional sound textures. If I have to use adjectives I'd say Loud, Fat and Intense.

Q. What´s represents the shoegazer classic era to the band?

A. Our latest album has been recorded in so much time; A. we put a lot of work in it and it gave us satisfaction. When we record, tracks are constantly changing, from the first record to the last mix, and this helps us to make songs like they are in our minds.

Q.What does the shoegazer classic era represent to the band?

A. Shoegaze has been a turning point for us. When we began discovering the classic shoegaze scene we were a garage band; since then we kept finding out new stuff and acquiring more and more influences. The basic sounds are so similiar to then, but the end product has been

strongly influenced.

Q. Which new bands do you recommended?francy

A. Underground scene is full of new interesting bands I realize it everytime we tour Europe. In England they have Tamborines, Eat light become light, Koolaid Electric Company, One unique signal. France has Zombie Zombie, Dalai Lama Rama Fafafa and Moloko Velocet and even Iceland has bands like Singapore Sling, the, Dead Skeletons and Go-Go Darkness. New-Psych scene has become bigger and bigger during these last years.

Q: What´s the plans for future...

A. For the near future we're planning a couple of tours in Europe; we'll go in UK in the third week of February for some gigs and in April

we'll go in Scandinavia. Then we hope we could arrange a tour in USA. It would be wonderful! For the farer future we can just wait and see what happens!

White Cross with Megaphonic Thrift - An Interview

Depois do estardalhaço do debut Decay Decoy os noruegueses alucinados do Megaphonic Thrift anunciaram via Club AC30 a pré venda do próximo petardo homonimo que estara disponiel dia 06 de fevereiro proximo, ansiedade por aqui não falta, e como é de praxe o capricho da produção com selo de qualidade Club AC30 já avisa no site, vinil branco, coisa finissima, para uma banda que é altamente alucinante, barulheira com pés e cabeças enfurnados em SY, Serena Maneesh e afins, ou seja noise shoegazer rock altamente qualificado, e o TBTCI aproveitando o ensejo encabeça a primeira entrevista pré novo album, e isso não é para quem quer é só para quem pode!!!!Srs Megaphonic Thrift!!!

***** Interview with Megaphonic Thrift *****

Q. When did Megaphonic Thrift e starts, tell us about the history...
A. Richard formed The Megaphonic Thrift after his former band, Stereo21, came to an end. He first asked Feddi, singer and guitarist from Casiokids, to play the drums, and later keyboardist and singer Linn joined on bass. The idea was to get a rawer expression, by combining people with different musical backgrounds and have them play instruments they normally didn't. When we needed someone to be on the more stabil side of guitar playing (in contrast to Richards madness), we asked Njål to join to fulfill our soundscape.

Q: Who are your influences?
A. We get influenced by movies, books, food, art, people, cities and music. Its especially inspiring to lissten to our friends making music. We often work together with different people - helping eachother out in the studio and stuff - and when other people make such great music, it kind of drives you to wanna go do it too.

Q. Made a list of 5 albuns of all time…
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless

Motorpsycho - little lucid moments

Spiritualized- Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space

Beck - sea change
Tortoise - tnt

Q. How do you fell playing alive?
A. Playing live is a great kick for us. Its the best thing we do. We are known for beeing facemelting and blowing people's heads off. In a good way off course! We love sound, and want to bring as much of it as we can out to the audience. We really like to record music, and play with crazy ideas in the studio, but it is while playing live we truly have the total control ourselves. The lisstener don't get to choose the volume, the order of the songs - and the songs differ and develop every time we play them live.

Q. How do you describe Megaphonic Thrift sounds?
A. Loud, noisy, melodic, intense, psychedelic, rhythmic, strange.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the new album?
A. We actually made all the songs on the new album together. On our first album, Decay Decoy, Richard did most of the song writing. This time it just became naturally for us to make it all together by jamming. Thats kind of the reason why we decided to just call the album The Megaphonic Thrift. Cause it's 100% us as a band.

Q. What´s represents the shoegazer classic era to the band?
A. We wouldn't really describe ourselves as a shoegaze band, but we use some elements in our music. For us I guess the most important influences in the shoegaze music is bands like My bloody valentine and off course Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized. With Loveless, MBV revolutionized music. And the way Jason Pierce has made such great music by making songs so simple and minimalistic - yet so powerful and unique - is admirable and inspiring.

Q. Which new bands do you recommended?
A. Would like to recommend some bands from our home city Bergen, Nowray:

Check out Hypertext, Lovecult, Syntax TerrOrkester, Young Dreams and Electric Eye.

Q: Which bands you love to made a cover version?
A. We actually never played any cover songs this far. Would love to noise up some good old Neil Young songs.

Q: What´s the plans for future....
A. 2012 is all about our new album. Touring as much as we can, play as many festivals as possible and spread good music to people. We also hope to get the chance to go to Japan next fall.

Q: Any parting words?
A. Check out our new album! Released worldwide the 11th of februray.

Disorder with Karate Free Stylers

Primeiro post de 2012, retornando com força total o TBTCI inicia o ano com muita ambição e inumeros projetos a serem tocados no desenrolar do ano e para inicia-lo em grande estilo apresentando em primeirissima mão o combo polones Karate Free Stylers dica mais do perfeita do amigo Tom Lugo, socio de carteirinha qui do TBTCI e para os mais desavisados dono da Patetico Records, casa do Karate Free Stylers e mentor do patrimonio Stellarscope. Por inumeros motivos a estreia de uma banda da Patetico tem a ver com os projetos do ano, mas isso é outra historia, e aqui é hora e vez do KFS, poloneses pos punkers com um teor de agressividade absurdo, para tirar o folego de quem estiver pela frente, o clima esfumaçado mesclado com o noise abrasivo de um APTBS é latente, as guitarras gritam, clamam por atenção, o clima gelido das canções vão se estendendo por todo o debut At Least We Are Able To Breathe, é isso pos punk gelido e frio, leia The Sound, Joy Division envolvo a area noiser do APTBS sem tirar nem por, uma metralhadora ensandecida atirando para todos sem qualquer tipo de piedade. E como de praxe a primeira entrevista do ano com total apoio de Tom Lugo, Sras e Srs Karate Free Stylers.

***** Interview with Karate Free Stylers *****

Q. When did Karate Free Stylers starts, tell us about the history...

Originally, KFS started about 5 years ago, when we were at school. I met my band mates, because with one I was going to to the same class for 6 years and with the other one we both had a meeting at our first rehearsal, because we were looking for a drummer. At first we were playing some cover songs, but then we started writing our own material. So we always say that "professionally" we started about 3 years ago.

Q: Who are your influences?

Our influences are very varied. Our bass player's probably favourite band is The Clash and he's rather into this type of music. But he also loves The Jesus And Mary Chain Me and the drummer are very into Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine. Bu personally I am also into Deerhunter and Atlas Sound and noise rocky type of music. I also love classic rock, blues (Robert Johnson is my god :D).

Q. Made a list of 5 albuns of all time…

My personal list:

1. Nirvana- Nevermind

2. Sonic Youth- Goo

3. My Bloody Valentine- Loveless

4. The Jesus and Mary Chain- Psychocandy

5. Deerhunter- Microcastle

This list refers to albums that were inspiring me through years. But for me best from the best band in the world is Led Zeppelin! I also love The Beatles, Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones. You should have asked me about top ten...or 50...or 100 albums

Q. How do you fell playing alive?

When I play at home I rather play acoustic than electric guitar and I prefer blues or classic rock songs. Why? For every type of music you have to get to know some basics and for me these classic songs develop skills, they show you how guitar reacts to your playing, to your type of sound. I play electric mostly on rehearsals and there I'm trying out some effects (delays, choruses, fuzzes etc.), but when I'm at home I love to play some oldschool Missisipi blues with a slide and open E tuning. These two types of my inspirations have different effects on me,but I'm always extremely happy. Music and guitars are my whole world. When I'm on stage, I forget about any problems, I'm free and I can do whatever I want. This is my place on earth.

Q. How do you describe Karate Free Stylers sounds?

I think that KFS plays rock'n'roll music heavily inspired by punk rock and first indie bands like Pixies. We mix it with wall of sound inspired by MBV. When people ask me what kind of genre we are, I always say: "We play noise rock". And I think that it is the best term.

Q: Tell us about the process of recording the new ep?

Recording process...I think it was very simple. All songs were previously prepared during the rehearsals. Only "Another Dawn Fades" was finished in the studio. I recorded all guitar parts on my Epiphone Supernova Cherry Red, bunch of effects and borrowed Sunn Model T (probably 120 watts) and Marshall JCM900 cab. Our bass player was recording with his Ashdown 180 watt amp and Squier P bass and MXR bass Di +. Our drummer used his old green Yamaha Stage Custom with Mapex snare drum and Zildjan plates. We've done it in probably 4/5 days. Marcin Klimczak, who was our producer and owner of the Mustache Ministry Studio, didn't want our material to be overproduced. We wanted it to be more crude but also full in sound.

Q. What´s represents the shoegazer classic era to the band?

From this shoegazer classic era I think we only have this wall of sound in some moments of our songs. I think that this part of shoegaze inspires me the most.

Q. Which new bands do you recommended?

Huh, I know many new bands that are awesome. I love No Age, Japandroids, Male Bonding and Deerhunter, but from these less known I adore Slowness, 93MilesFromTheSun. I can also recommend some polish bands: Kiev Office, The Spouds, The Black Tapes, Teenagers, Lora Lie. These all band are great!

Q: Which bands you love to made a cover version?

I think that I would like to cover No Age's "Everybody's Down" and The Beatles' "I want You (She's So Heavy)". But that's my opinion. I don't know if my band mates would like to cover any song

Q: What´s the plans for future....

We want to make a Polish tour. We are planning it now with our manager. Probably we will go with our friends from The Spouds. We would als like to make some gigs abroad but unfortunaely know we can't afford that. We also think about recording our first full-lenght, but I think that we have time for that. And we want to be famous

Q: Any parting words?

Listen to music, buy CD's, watch gigs!!!
