"Slot": Rock 'n' Roll was born dead in this country!

In anticipation of the release of "perezagruzochnogo" album F5 Nuka cash and said why did Russia dead rock and roll, and what with alternative rock. - Tell us about the new album F5. As it is conceptually different from previous ones? Cache: - This is the fifth album. Conception is not and can not be. On the contrary, it is anti-conceptual! Nuka: It is a multi-layered, so that references to different music sources, such as we've had. And it's a hard and dark, there is not a single song lyric. And not a funny song. Cache: Yes, there is a song about Breivik, but it's no joke. Rather, black humor and political satire. Backhand. F5 Album Cover - The mood is unhappy? Nuka: We had fun fact, more melancholic, tragic. Of those drawn and music. Cache: Drive is still here, we have a lot of hard songs, very hard. No ballads! Full album with a name. It RIP - almost hip-hop at the edge of R'n'B. "Twilight" - a song with a life Gothic text. It's something new for us, there are references to the past. - The album will also be covering? Nuka: We hope. Kipelovo with no problem, and on the "Aquarium" is still unclear. It so happened that we "is rock 'n' roll dead," a cover of the tribute album, I'll do "Lenta.ru" was done. Then a catch was, they decided to postpone by six months. As we promised to clean up the release of our album, we eagerly set to work. Everything is ready, we play them live. Even if it does not put it on the album, it is still something to solve, such as the Internet. Alexander Lyapin, songwriter, he played a solo in it. Cache: Sometimes the thought is how to put a song on its head, and then it gets interesting! Nuka: We have the line changed "Rock 'n' Roll was born dead in this country," and the whole song is turned on its head. Changes appeared rigid social connotations and meaning of the song. - About a dead rock 'n' roll - it is your position? Nuka: We have always felt it to yourself. Cash: We rock in its infancy, it is not the system of show business, as in the West. These rockers that made their way into the system - you do it for very long. Nuka ... desirable 20 years! Here we finally included in the rotation, "Our Radio", after ten years of our existence ... probably need a length of service, you have taken on the air. Some unspoken agreement. Cache: This is often done. You first hear No Doubt or our Mordor, impressive, and then you will know that to play it for 10 years. Maybe that's why we spent the whole year in order, English album Break the code, which was published in August on the label Neurodisc, a division of Universal Music in America? They are usually to do with trance music, so for them it is an experiment. We still do not know at the wheel in hand, he has brought to us. Nuka: By the way, the question of a dead rock 'n' roll in this country. When we arrived in America, we were immediately added to the rotation at 70 stations FM band. Her debut album! We can not even imagine. Cache: Let's go to Holland for our arrival three major rock station has to shoot the songs for the visit. - You have nothing specifically for the U.S. market only translated texts? Cache: Rather rewritten and adjusted. Some texts, like it or not, does not simply translate. Our American producer Travis - he's Adaptator text and phonetic coach. Some new lyrics that he wrote by himself. "Two Wars" almost "Beta Alfa Romeo and Juliet" in the English translation, and "Romeo-Juliet" was everything. New text Break the code A decade since its inception, we have to feel that to rest against the ceiling in our development. Perhaps this line about a dead rock 'n' roll. Band "slot" - Comments on "Nashe Radio" on your song "Lonely People" is quite unpleasant. Nuka: We expect them much harder. When the hit video nashe.ru rehearsal songs from "Aria", it was a blast! Torrent of abuse! Cache: We are engaged in the metal shrine. We have invested a lot in this work - can not explain Orthodox. Now our only rock radio is selected the softest song from the new album. - How do you respond to messages about reformatting channel A-One to hip-hop? Cache: As in sickle balls! But we are not surprised at all. "He was born dead in our country." It has not only reformat bought it and reformatted to fit your taste. The girl who goes out one of their dances. Nuka: More Kovalev was trying to set up a rock channel, but never funded. Apparently unprofitable. More "Our radio" wants to open his channel. A holy place is never empty. Even our grand prize - the World Wide Web, and most importantly - it's not lost. Cache: We give an interview to Internet radio. Now the internet is increasingly in competition with traditional media. Many absorbency music simply do not know what the TV, and the TV was not even at home. - Your song airplay on major music channels? Cache: Our first video airplay on MTV, and just because it Theon Dolníková. Another reason why I did not see. A year ago, Chuck, got a job at MTV, he wore our video "Mirrors" - a beautiful ballad, a quality clip. He was told that slot - Heavy Metal band, they can not twist. - What is strange, because they work just at that age format, that's the goal, "slots". Cache: a business machine, labels and money. That's it. Nuka: Maybe our audience gives them less money. - What are the Western Group aims slot? Nuka: First, we focus concentrated on Linkin Park, I was not in a group. But in the future we will have a lot of steps and turned, so I hope in something unique. Although I may be subjective in the assessment. Linkin Park And he made 500 steps away. But all of them successfully. - How did the collaboration with the little-known group "both-Rec"? Nuka: I often write different groups, and when a song I like, I agree to cooperate. Then I saw how it was made, and or support release, or it goes to float freely over the Internet. In the case of "two-Rec" has shown that it is a strong track. And will, I think, the best side project ever. Trying to do a modern-rock shit. It seems, and not an alternative, but not Russian rock. Something new, something fresh, yet sincere. Cash: I have not heard that there is a spark, like Animal Jazz. Slot invited to corporate events -? Caching:. Nuka: This issue was settled. - How many gigs is a "slot"? Cache: In a year, I thought the "Trinity", it was 107 per year. Will not be one hundred years old this year, summer concerts were not. Nuka: So on average about ten concerts a month. We saturated or tour, or complete lack of concerts. Very rarely, some concerts. - And on the geography? Cache: From Vladivostok to Amsterdam. To America has not been reached, we will work with them as long as optional, most of our - here. They are, for example, worried that their release in August, and we have - in November. And we do not know what it is that they are concerned - we can not do. - In the hall at your shows almost no people over 30 How do you explain? Nuka: I believe that the youth of this kind in the country. Moreover, the same Animal Jazz is arrived earlier in rotation on "Nashe Radio" and then the audience is older. Rotation until they were about the same as ours. But our audience matures. Every musician wants to have a more diverse audience. The more we are, there is! - Every musician wants to have more listeners. You have to collect a goal, such as "Olympic"? Nuka: Of course, such a goal. Want to grow and develop in every way, including commercial. Not in the kitchen is to play for friends. For "Olympic" we do not always have enough fame, popularity. Cache: By the way, we were there with Limp Bizkit! - Are you ready to change something in himself for the sake of popularity? Cash: The Ballad of broadcasting can be, it's a genre of its own. Nuka: But we are so far no help. By the way, the ballad "Mirrors" - our most drawn clip, and the most popular on the Internet. - What do you know about the current state of the alternative-rock-think? Nuka: We have at the time of the rise in the popularity of alternative rock, who was coming in from the west. It was fashion, there were a lot of bands in this genre. Then the wave subsided, and the feeling that everyone was looking at each other and wondering what to do now. Jane Air have moved hip-hop and dance, went Amatory ballads, Animal Jazz - in Russian rock. All were swept. Cache: Slot In Group. - I think she broke the generation of listeners alternatives, all smashed in piles around the individual groups. Nuka: Auditorium we still crossed, but the more, the less. Vogue, and the students began to choose this person to be closer to them. Cache: But the musicians are top teams react, sociable. Nuka: I think in our genre was not ever musicians in Moscow and St. Petersburg, a single community. There have always clans looking askance at each other. - I thought you might move to hip-hop, followed by A-One? Nuka: On the first album "slot" was a lot of hip-hop. And the new album is a track F5. But we try, every song was self-sufficient, and all facilities are aligned with achieving the goal - a harmonious song. Thus, sometimes motley. If the song requires hip-hop - to be hip-hop, when the metal - metal will be, if the hard drive - will be disco. All subjects of the song. Cache: Mainly because we sometimes played with his side project "acid" - sometimes it was a disco. Nuka: It was a fun experiment psychological training - as in strange circumstances to feel on his own material. Cache: At the moment we do not have time, and the second "acid" take place certainly if a critical mass of typed material. Maybe today it will issue no. Although you never know. Less significant groups now not subscribed - no one produces. Labels fear. - Do you sell more CDs at concerts or in stores? Cash: We are certainly more in the shops. We dolt do at this point - merchandising and other okolobiznesom be closely involved, and we ... Nuka: We do everything ourselves, except for the production of clips. We invited every musician a social activity. Not enough time and energy to engage in the sale. Cache: I'm still working on the album with a superimposed "Aria". Processes run in parallel. Thus, the "Phoenix" - it's a little F5. - How do you feel about the practice rounds and thank when the listener is able to download and pay for an album? Nuka: When we did the same. Can for two months to pay the hosting website ... In our country, this model is not working just love freebies. Cache: In addition to giveaways, there are still difficulties with payment. Card is not all, are not developed electronic payment systems. Nuka: I have a map! Nevertheless, point number one - it's our mentality. Most would think of something as a musician to make an album! On the whole, none of these CDs are no longer needed, junk in the closet. Cache: Hard drives are souvenirs. If I show Western collectors CD - there are a thousand brochures, flip, clear plastic, even on normal jewel boxes. The "Union" we agreed that F5 is on the mat digipack. Nuka: The artist who draws us cover for the album - of Bratsk. And parallel, he did artwork for Infected Mushroom! It is very cool! We are glad that we found each other. - Can pay off a full live show? What prevents you from raising the level of Rammstein show? Cache: "Aria" to find sponsors to make a light show. Rammstein has a lot of boring to travel, travel. But you look amazing in its beauty videos - and gradually get used to the song. Music behind the show as spectacular. Here are two pages. We can assume that we have to hear more than music. In the West, a lower level of the stamp can not afford expensive show. This requires time and money. We further scenery and the best film in the province can not do anything. Nuka: But what about the world sometimes! Must act in the dark. Closed A lot of rock clubs in the province, we see it on tour: cache. Big cities are not the club! Organizers will cease to exist from rock concerts in general. The release of the new album from F5 "slot" is on 4 November. This day will be held at 15.00 clock autograph session at our "light and music". Concert presentation of the album takes on 5 November take the club Milk. Ken Guru, "Showbiz News NEWSmusic.ru»
