q and also a :: Tempo No Tempo

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

Bay Area dubpunks Tempo No Tempo sent us these answers to our questions in the latest q and also a.

q: What is the last song you (really) heard?

a: The last song I (really) heard was The Galaxist (mp3) by Deerhoof…we were jamming really hard to the last four Deerhoof records on our Oregon tour. I had lost my copy of Friend Opportunity, so we spent a lot of time revisiting that record and Milk Man. We all love that band a lot.

q: What is your favorite food?

a: Mexican food. Easy. Specifically, taco trucks in Oakland.

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: Either the Dirty Projectors or LCD Soundsystem. It used to be The Juan MacLean, before their drummer Jerry Fuchs died. I think, actually, that’s the first time that the death of a musician I didn’t know personally really affected me. When I heard that he died, it really brought into focus how special the shows I had seen him play were. They were amazing.

Listen: Gimme Gimme Gimme (Daytrotter Session) (mp3) by Dirty Projectors

Watch: Losing My Edge @ Music Hall of Williamsburg 4/08/10 (youtube) by LCD Soundsystem

Watch: Give Me Every Little Thing (youtube) by The Juan MacLean

q: What is your favorite venue in NYC (if applicable)?

a: We love the Cake Shop, and Death By Audio. I’ve seen a lot of shows in NY, but Tempo No Tempo has only played a handful. The Cake Shop is just awesome because the staff is rad and the room is the perfect amount of tiny and dingy.

q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?

a: Gotta be the Numero Group folks. They consistently release the most beautiful collections of rare tracks, documented and packaged brilliantly. They’re like a funky Alan Lomax.

Listen: The founders of Numero Group on Sound Opinions with Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot (sound opinions mp3)

q: Anything we should know about your latest project (whatever that might be)?

a: Yeah, we put out a record on our own in October, Waking Heat. We wrote it in six months, after our keyboardist left for law school, and then recorded and mixed it in five days.

We’ve been having this crazy transformation, since the songs have finally settled in, where the parts are opening up and the dynamics and dialogue between our instruments are totally changing. It’s exciting, but also puts the album into perspective as this snapshot when all the songs were really fresh.

We want to make an EP and some videos soon…so stay tuned for the latest latest projects I guess.

…And here is one of the videos Tempo No Tempo said they wanted to make.

Watch: Pole Position (vimeo)

Here are a couple tracks off of Waking Heat.

Listen: Pole Position (mp3)

Listen: Kilometer (mp3)

Upcoming Shows: Tempo No Tempo will be touring around California with GT favs Dinowalrus at the end of the month. You can check dates and places… here. It is sure to be mind-expanding.

February 2009 Mix

q and also a :: DINOWALRUS

Friday, January 29th, 2010

And now a new feature here at GIMME TINNITUS, q and also a, where I chat/email with bands and they answer some questions. To kick off the feature I met up with Pete from Dinowalrus. Here we go…

q: What is the last song you heard?

a: The hour-long composition E2-E4 by Ash Ra Tempel guitarist, Manuel Göttsching.

Listen: E2-E4 snippet (youtube)

q: What is your favorite food?

a: St Louis style ribs (in particular, the ones at Pappy’s Smoke House).

q: What is your favorite band to see live?

a: Comets On Fire or Boredoms… a distant 3rd would probably be HEALTH.

Listen: Lets Take it All (mp3) by Comets On Fire

q: What is your favorite NYC venue?

a: We’ve had really great shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg and Dead Herring.

q: OK, President Obama appoints you as the first Secretary of Culture, to whom do you give your first grant?

a: Excepter.

Listen: Kill People (mp3)

q: Anything we should know about your album, %?

a: The album was “informed by the liberation of moving to NYC in 2006 and finding that, at the time, there was an audience for pretty crazy and mutant music.” DINOWALRUS didn’t know at first whether it would fall into the “indie” scene or the “art noise” scene, though now they have found themselves to be the weirdest band on the indie scene rather than the poppiest band on the noise scene. There were a bunch of especially inspring bands around in 2006 that were “challenging” their listeners to, sonically, go places they had never been before, including Parts & Labor, Dirty Projectors, Psychic Ills, and Gang Gang Dance…and I think our approach was informed by that more than anything else. Ironically, earnest and classic indie rock appears to be all the rage now, and I’ve been pretty bored with that!

Listen:
Fractured Skies (mp3) by Parts & Labor
Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie (mp3) by Dirty Projectors
Killers (mp3) by Psychic Ills
Nicoman (mp3) by Gang Gang Dance

“If you are serious about music, when you make an album you have to take 45 years of pop/rock history in account, and I think this album was informed as much by trying to find a unique place in music history as it was by current happenings around town,” and Dinowalrus wanted to put out something that was “mind blowing.” % doesn’t really have “a direct pop sensibility,” but it will “keep on your toes” and “make you feel free.”

So, if you are bored with present form of lofipoppunk that seems to be everywhere now, check out some DINOWALRUS:

Listen:
BEAD (mp3)
Nuke Duke ‘Em (mp3)

In the future, they will probably narrow their focus a bit, and not cram as many ideas into their next album. Pete is currently working on two recording side projects, one is an album of stadium metal and the other one is a baggy Madchester acid house record.

There will be no trek to SXSW this year for Dinowalrus, but they are doing a small mid-Atlantic tour, and a New England tour Plus, they are working on setting up a tour in April of California with Tempo No Tempo. They are playing a show tomorrow (1/30) and also next Thursday (2/4)…

Upcoming Shows:
Jan 30 @ House Of Yes w/ Javelin, The Shivers, Ava Luna, and Shark?
Feb 4 @ Littlefield w/ The Vandelles and The Naked Hearts

UPDATE: I totally forgot about that EP of reworked The Forms songs that was announced last year. We heard there are a lot of awesome guests on it. Matt Berninger of little band known as The National is one name that was thrown around. I suppose the EP is being meticulously tweaked in the band’s recording studio. I assume the EP will be released this year.

Oh, and I’m sure no one will notice a new release from LCD Soundsystem.
