As in, this SATURDAY. See you there!

Free entrance & After Party

Am glumit, am demonstrat ca se poate, muzica si muzicantii tremura cu umor, emotiv sau indian, nu ne plictisim niciodata de mintile noastre aberante sau hazlii pana la refuz si defularea, vine salivand in somn de pofta zilei ce va urma.

Castigatorii sunteti .. tot noi, ca va avem, patetic vorbind, dar ne bucuram sa putem sa oferim : un DVD Promo DEKAdens militantului Numar 3 - Alex Zamfir - si 4 cd-uri originale DEKAdens - kill and tell celor mai fericiti dintre umoristi, amatori de muzica ROMANEASCA prestata in alte variante decat ROMANA.

Fericitii se pot identifica prin propriul banc la oricare din urmatoarele concerte pe care le vom sustine ( la propriu, pentru ca scoatem bani din buzunar HA HA HA !... ) si vor primi una bucata CD tziplat la mine acasa, cu masina cumparata pe vremea cand vindeam Eugenii vechi ca sa imi iau corzi la basssssss.

Lista cu concerte, denumita simpatic de mine, LISTA CU CONCERTE !!!!, poate fi analizata obiectiv pe http://www.myspace.com/dekadens

An interview from Wednesday at B52 on MTV News with us, the Moood and Israel Lights was posted here:

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.

Rant: OFF

Last night was a blast.
Thankyou to everyone who was there and cheered us on.
Thanks even more to the people at the front who knew every single song.
