PLUS! We've tweaked our myspace: http://www.myspace.com/dekadens

We haven't abandoned you, just so you know.
We're actually out fighting crime and whatnot, we will be back soon!

the TING TINGS si MGMT au planat in atmosfera aseara, 10.10.2008, in club FABRICA, in amalgamul de poze, intervuri decupate si clipuri proiectate, timp de aproape un ceas.Cum evenimentul anunta, Les ELEPHANTS BIZARRES au pornit din pole position,direct cu o piesa MGMT si apoi au facut un blend frumos intre piese proprii si trupa sarbatorita, asa cum le sta bine "bizarilor", de altfel foarte bine inchegati si "bizar" de dinamici.Au urmat unii, DEKADENS, pregatiti sa "start something" cu avant imprumutat de la TING TINGS si de la publicul din club, care a emis o energie pozitiva toata seara si a impulsionat miscarea pe scena, in pofida unor mici probleme tehnice.WE STARTED "SOMETHING" si ORACULAR SPECTACULAR sunt, pe langa titulaturile albumelor lansate in club FABRICA, si actiunile merituoase ale publicului prezent aseara si efectul garantat al unei multimi care a venit cu chef de distractie.Publicul a pornit energia, a sustinut-o timp de 2 ore si a fost un efect oracular spectacular.

Bravo, les EB si mai ales bravo publicului.

Ma duc inapoi in pat ca sunt mort de somn...

Pa.

Taken last night at rehearsals while messing around.

Enjoy!

'Nuff said.

I'm writing this because of some of the articles I've read on websites about certain festivals and concerts:

I've noticed, and I'm sure many others have recently, about the publics perception of bands.
People all seem to think bands in Romania are copying something from somewhere.
The truth is every single musician has listened to bands from outside of Romania, and in some way put this into their style.
Like the UK, where there are millions of bands which play the same thing and get famous for it.
We all have some sort of a rock icon in our heads, and we all wish to be like that person some day.
Which is completely normal, everybody feels the same way in any domain.

There are so many songs and bands in this world, that somewhere a riff will sound like that riff you heard on the radio by that band that you know which also sounds like a band that you saw on TV.

I'm sure almost every band in Romania has two purposes: to play music and to have fun. At least, we do.
There are only a small handful of bands in this country, each with their own personal style and ideas.
But somehow, there seems to be only room for one type of genre because everything else gets knocked and criticised.
Everybody expresses their opinion online. Which is fair enough, but they don't understand that the person reading it will soak in this information.
Why should it be that way?
If we are always criticising musicians constantly they will become unmotivated to continue, then what's left of the scene here in Romania?

I think that people should stop criticising bands, stop folding their arms and for once support them.
Go to their concerts, have fun and dance, have a drink or two, appreciate good music.

In order for music to grow, we need to start appreciating what they do.

That's not to say however, that we should love every bad tune that comes along.
But wouldn't it be great to get loose in the audience, lose your heads (as we say) and have a good time?
Why should it be about image all the time?

So in essence, if you're really going to take my bullshit into account:
1. Go to concerts, support your local music scene.
2. Buy originals and stop stealing from the internet (but we all do it, so what the heck)
3. Have FUN.

Pe o planeta indepartata unde trupele repeta in pielea goala pentru a spori senzatia sunetului nou si liber compus in gratia sesiunilor spontane programate fix, o trupa era mai dezbracata ca toate celelalte.I se spunea dekadens.Avea mai mult nudism gratuit intr-o zi decat alte trupe intr-un an...


Intr-o buna zi, cand membrii trupei stateau la o masa de poker in mijlocul drumului, Becky s-a gandit la o palarie ciudata care arata de fapt a ciuperca in pas cu moda si zic "arata", pentru ca toata lumea putea sa vada plasmuirea mintii englezoaicei, plutind in aer.Narghileaua din decor si pernele turcesti nu banuiau nimic despre ce avea sa urmeze...
Dupa ore indelungate in care Becky avea un nor plutitor deasupra capului si nimeni nu si-a dat seama ca e o palarie de fapt,cei 4 au inceput sa dea cu rocku', tot in mijlocu' drumului.Narghileaua si pernele turcesti din decor au plecat injurand, sa asculte ceva oriental.
La sfarsitul repetitiei, Boddy a aflat ca este tata.Deplasarile cu trupa l-au purtat pe melaguri necunoscute, in afara planetei natale si acum, un copil verde , zglobiu si leit moaca lui de Boddy, este ecoul zbuciumatelor calatorii in care nu a putut spune "nu".. nici macar odata.Felicitari boddy.Este verde, dar e-al tau !
Dupa stirea incredibila pe care a primit-o, Boddy a scapat,de emotzie, copilul verde pe jos si l-a facut praf tzandari si a convocat trupa la o shedintza de narghilea cu esenta de "ce-ai zis?.. a, mi s-a parut ca ai zis ceva...o fi vantu'...".Imediat ce au gasit Narghileaua si pernele turcesti (care ascultau muzica orientala in mashina la Jan) s-au pus pe tras pe gura si pe nas si, ca prin minune, gravitatia a inceput sa joace feste si toti s-au trezit plutind, mai putin Jan.Jan nu se trezise inca.
