Molestersi su čudo. Priznajem da sam se nasmijao kad sam prvi put čuo da 'ima jedan dobar surf bend iz Siska'. To dvoje nekako ne ide zajedno. Ali kad sam ih prvi put poslušao, doživio sam omanji šok. Surf bogami, i to kakav! Jedva sam dočekao priliku da vidim kakvi su uživo. Imao sam velika očekivanja i... nadmašili su ih. Ta ljetna večer uz Molesterse bila je jedna od onih za koje želiš da traju vječno. Kad su gitare zazvečale, splitske Bačvice su se za tren pretvorile u Kaliforniju. Samo dobre vibracije. Od tada sam ih gledao još par puta, uključujući i njihovu The Strange inkarnaciju s Chrisom Eckmanom iz Walkaboutsa. I uvijek su bili sjajni. Ali onaj neponovljivi osjećaj s prvoga susreta ostao je nenadmašen. Vjerujem da će oni koji ih budu gledali u Beogradu osjetiti isto.

Hoće li povesti i Eckmana u Bgd.?

The Strange
Nights of Forgotten Films
[Dancing Bear; 2004]
Rating: 7.8
In an era of mashups and rampant genre cross-fertilization, I suppose a collaboration between the founder of The Walkabouts-- one of the greatest and most prolific American Gothic bands of the past two decades-- and a Croatian surf-rock band with the nerve to call themselves The Bambi Molesters should come as no surprise. What is perhaps more unexpected, is that this collaboration is a resounding success. Then again, The Walkabouts' Chris Eckman's whispery rasp (which is similar to The Auteurs' Luke Haines) and the copious echo and tremolo of prime surf aren't that far removed from each other-- Johnny Cash and old trucker songs are good precedents. When The Molesters lower the lights and inject a hint of blues and jazz noir into their sound, it's a perfect match. The Croatian band's music is already spectacularly stormy and dramatic, and Eckman had previously delivered an arresting spoken performance on "Ice & Pinewood Trees", from The Molesters' excellent second album Sonic Bullets, so there was some collaborative comfort between the two parties.
Anyone who thinks of surf as expressly sunny music will have their mind changed by this record. The dual guitars of Dalibor Pavicic and Dinko Tomljanovic are dripping in cavernous spring reverb, but Hrvoje Zaborac's roomy, understated drums and Lada Furlan Zaborac's slinking bass keep them rooted on dry land, free to roam every deep old-growth forest and poorly lit alleyway they can find. Occasional piano, organ, and trumpet darken the edges, and Eckman is the deadpan centerpiece, breathily narrating the blackness of the night with a delivery perched in the gray area between spoken storytelling and melody. He goes the furthest in the latter direction on "These Lies", a beautiful, mostly acoustic piece of jazz-inflected folk that somehow combines the feel of a campfire in the woods and the pools of light on an empty city street.
Elsewhere, guitars swirl in stately rings around Eckman, and it's quite clear that this is an equal partnership. The Molesters are never relegated to backing band status-- Pavicic dances with Eckman in a melodic call-and-response on "Tonight, I Will Say Anything" and then trades off with Tomljanovic's Spaghetti Western rattle in the spaces between verses. "Tonight, I will say anything/ Any stupid, fucked-up thing/ Anything that helps," sings Eckman in a moment of desperation, a slight sneer rising at the corner of his lips. At his most intense, he whispers his lines with utter malevolence, like Jarvis Cocker on "I Spy", and his frantic take on Echo & the Bunnymen's "Villier's Terrace" is thrilling. "See It In the Dark" is the kind of frightening waltz a SoCal Tindersticks might dream up, with lyrics about intra-marital homicide and a two-pronged guitar attack that hits with tangled leads in the high end and grinding, swaying chords in the low.
Nights of Forgotten Films doesn't even feel like a collaboration-- the dynamic interactions between the players seems natural and consistently bracing. I already thought The Bambi Molesters were the best surf band in the world today, but it turns out that they're far, far more than just that, able to sublimate their thrashier tendencies in the service of a vocalist. Perhaps where this album succeeds is that there's nothing forced-- each party involved gets to play to its strengths and they effortlessly complement each other. So give credit to Eckman and his Croatian crew: Nights of Forgotten Films is everything a collaboration should be.

Mislim da preteruješ, ali svejedno. Bilo bi lepo jednog weekenda Bambiji, a sledećeg The Strange
Za tebe:
Za Bambi Molesters:
Za oboje:
BTW A Babies u Subotici, ima li nešto od toga?
Stavila sam mnoogo više emoticonsa u prvom pokušaju, ali izgleda da postoji ograničenje: Da probamo sa 15

pazi, mozda ovo ne misli mnogo ljudi, ali sta me briga - ja ne jebem bendove koji se ukenjaju u gace kada izadju na binu. takvi neka sede po studijima i neka tamo sviraju kurcu. naravno da dosta bendova ima tremu pred nastup, ali koji si ti muzicar ako si na koncertu skrusen i usran k'o usran golub? ekmen je upravo takav, a i bend mu je bulja, uzivo (bubnjarka gore svira bubanj od mene, on naplasen 80% nastupa, karla je jos super!!).ama ne volim ja ni molesterse, ni eckmana, samo sam pitao zbog prijatelja... nesto sam samo razmisljao, ajd' eckman mi je manje mrzak
a sto se tice treme... pa dosta bendova ima tremu kad nastupa...
nego, batalite svi da mlatite sa ekmenom - nema, samo bambi i pre njih 40 minuta babies, dakle, prvo najbolja garaza sa ex-yu teritorije, pa onda najbolji surf bend na svetu (bar tako kaze jedan koji to MORA da zna - Lux Interior).
evo malo informacija, pa proucite (vi koji ne znate o cemu se radi):
...“the best surf band in the world today“, said Lux Interior of The Cramps
...“most phenomenal surf band in the universe..“ said Michale Stipe of R.E.M.
"Timelessly cool!" Rolling Stone Magazine
One of the most influencing and most original instrumental bands of today that enriches a distinctive surf sound with psychedelic, wide-screen energy.
Their third release Sonic Bullets/ 13 From the Hip features an incredible group of guests: Scott Mcaughey (Minus 5, Young Fresh Fellows, R.E.M.), Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts) Terry Lee Hale, and Eduardo Speedo Martinez (The Flaming Sideburns)
This cuttin' edge instrumental combo is famous for their melodious writing and energetic performances that create a hypnotic atmosphere.
Among numerous shows all over Europe special highlights of their live performances include: 4 R.E.M. support shows on their 1999. and 2003. tour and 6 performances on the New Zealand Festival as the only band from Europe, Pepsi Sziget festival, Orange Blossom festival, Printemps de Bourges festival etc.
The Bambi Molesters' music is accompanied by fabulous video clips that can be found on the „The Bambi Molesters Backstage Pass“ DVD – as bonus material added to the documentary filmed about the band.
In 2004. The Bambi Molesters and Chris Eckman collaborated under the name The Strange, and recorded the album „Nights of Forrgoten Films“, engineered and produced by Phill Brown.
Their albums were positively and auspiciously reviewed in Mojo, Uncut, Pitchforkmedia and many other magazines.
One of their songs, „C Alfa E“ was featured in a hollywood produced film as a part of the soundtrack for „The Treat“ by Johnatan Gems (screenwriter for „Mars Attacks“ and „1984“)
All their releases will be available trough Warner Music in shops all over Europe in May 2005!
