Backagain - To review

We just managed to work out the final line-up for
our release-party on september 1 (at I 45, Zug, 21 h). Blocher (a
kamikaze-friendship from Basel and Zug) will start smashing your
ears with a fine choice of carefully selected punk- and metal-covers.
Afterwards we'll present "Selberattack". The audience is kindly
requested to wear business-clothes (no cashual friday for us). But
you don't have to wear a tie! For anybody missing the show: Selber
is booked for BOA Luzern october 27. Don't miss that too!

Roger's solo-project Eskimo65 is making progress.
On
www.mp3.de you already find a first of his
Industrial/Ambient-Instrumentals for download. Roger also plans to
release the first Eskimo65-record sometimes next spring. We'll keep
you informed.

ABOUT OUR RECORD
Selberattack will be published at the end of august. Right now we
are organising our release-party and are trying to have some other
gigs too. As soon as we know more you'll find it here. We recorded
Selberattack in a few days at Foolpark-studio. Because Roger always
gets really busy before recording (he's really a lazy dog), cutting
himself off social life and handicrafting whole nights with the
songs - we sometimes don't recognise them ourselves - he just has
to plug in and record. Afterwards we other two will find a lot of
details and sometimes Roger has to tell us what he really did. We
still don't know how he manufactures his samples. We know he already
used half of his kitchengear, tortues an almost gone radio, hits
an innocent but very bad guitar (he also has a very good one but
can't play it anyway) and sometimes he makes Silvano sing suspicious
noises. The whole rest is his kind of trade secret. We just know
for sure: if a sound seems to come off the peg for stupid one-hit-chart-wonders
the sound is fired. Without notice. Raffi is another story as he
moans about his fate. As a punkguitarist without ideas he tried
to trick with a lot of effects from overseas. After a long talk
with another guitarist (someone who really knows his instrument)
he stopped using them. Since that day he's willing to play in the
way the other two propose: "Come on, play like a telegram!" (Silvano)
or "try to play like So-and-so of Neverheardof on the record totallyunknown"
(Roger). But Raffi always declares: "Boys, I hardly know the difference
betwenn surfguitar and inline-skating...". While recording Deezl
forbid him to produce the classic Stratocaster-Marshall-sound. So
he had to play Softmetal on a dusty 10 watt combo-amp out of the
studios darker corners (Jesus liebt Dich), went digging for Bouzouki-sounds
on an asian parallelogram-guitar from the Sixties (sharpened with
a little more modern electronic) on Oppositionsambulanz and had
to tune this thing for every new chord... Just once he was allowed
to use his super-multi-effects-toy on Meuterei und Freude. An experience
close to nervous breakdown: SO MANY goddamn knobs. Raffi got permanent
damages but he survived. Well, two of three are nice guys in studio
but Silvano is a bitch. He just hangs on the couch the whole time
reading the psychology-insert of Neue Zürcher Zeitung and sleeps.
From time to time he also eats sandwiches like a pig. As soon as
it's his term to record everybody has to "fuck off" (if not he bites),
the room has to be darkened and recording has to be very quick.
He's so bloody nervous he believes as soon as recording stops he
will forget about everything he ever knew - exept the lyrics. He
can't remember them anyway so he has to read 'em. Only Deezl is
able to talk to him then. He asked after the first take: "You really
want to sing this way?" "Yes." "Oh. Good. Hmm - well let's have
a look at some more voices in the chorus then." That was while recording
Meuterei und Freude. To get the distortion on Haifisch he made Silvano
sing trough an old hoover-pipe (erg - mites!) and got into trouble
the first time. Silvano started to scream for tape and Deezl thought
"Jesus Christ, just let me finish my cigarette before recording".
But Silvano didn't want to tape the song he just needed to tape
the microphone to the pipe... As we already said: he's a bitch.
Also Roger gently told him he missed both the tune and the point
to bring himself in for "Ausgeträumt". Then our weirdo started
screaming about knowing himself what he missed and Roger should
shut the fuck up. Then he slammed the song on tape first take like
a singer/songwriter and wanted to kiss our troubled Roger afterwards:
"If you hadn't pissed me off I wouldn't have hit a single note!"
It's a pity he just can't act like a normal human being. Life would
be worth living a lot more. Well - at least we convinced Raffi not
to think about the Bouzouki-orchestra as the joke he meant it to
be, we smuggled a sardic shepherd (thanx to comic-genius Walter
Moers) into Handbetrieb and Deezl suggested a monkschoir with prayer
leader on Meuterei und Freude. We would like to say thank you. And
we feel a little sorry for Roger. After two hours he had his job
done and spent the rest of the days supervising our crap. He never
fell asleep.
