Do you smoke ?


Yet another Saturday, waking up so late cause that is Saturday…almost noon and I know I gonna have some vegan pancakes but people are away from here some went with families or friends in the mountains cause it is the ski season…so yesterday night I had this discussion with a friend. We were at his place and he decided to stop smoking 3 weeks ago and it is a bit hard for him so he asked people to go out on the balcon to smoke…during the evening I was talking with him and we suddenly realise that we were only two people inside all the others were smoking and he just felt apart from the crowd, like putting appart from the discussion…I’m a smoker too but I tried not to let him alone and I came to the point that even cigarette was a socialising items in my childhood and even in what can be called a global past for everyone it has now become the exact opposite and just because of how our society is ruled by laws and everything else…It is just right now the pure product of hypocrisy…Smokers are banned from most of the public places but at the same time government needs money from the cigarettes sells…but right now it was my friend that was banned from us and no one noticed.

this is not TV news


just few words about lakmé LP: it has gone to the pressing plant some weeks ago, artwork and booklet are done, and like clément i will certainly got my copies in april after the third memory tour...so trades would be more than welcome...then with clément and other people we had the idea about making a zine with tour reports, records reviews and more personal articles or interviews, well that is a zine indeed...las but not least (crappy words) my next project will come out for september...

Lakmé LP! hands up kids!



So this should be the first release under this project...what else to say, nothing more than those people were one of the best discover during the tour with bökanövsky in eastern countries...we've played with them in Brno, we arrived and parked the van in front of the venue and those kids were standing on the sidewalk like onions in line ( i like to translate typical french expression) and smiling, all the time smiling...We had troubles with cops cause we were parked somewhere really bad and had to pay them in cash something like 75€ but we had not had any czech money with us so they helped us while they were supposed to start playing...Then they played and it was just perfect, classy , honnest and i don't know...That catchy punk hxc with melodies refering to old school emo and this voice raw and darkening everything...yes i'm excited of being part of this project, i came in the last minutes but let share!
