“Lady Macbeth”

Friday, August 8th, 2008

“Lady Macbeth” is an old, though previously not released, seven minute long song, probably recorded in the Summer of 2003, that Friendly Noise got from Differnet early in 2004. Never have Differnet sounded more shoegazey than this! They had almost forgotten about “Lady Macbeth” but we thought it was a good idea to finally release this old favourite of ours to coincide with the Friendly Noise night at Sugar Bar 7 August (2008), where Differnet played live, supported by french/japanese artist Kumi. That night we also sold a limited 3″ cd-r edition of it. Tomas, from Differnet, also told us that the original, proper title of “Lady Macbeth” is “Somnambulist” (meaning a person that goes sleepwalking).

HÖSTSÄSONGSPREMIÄR FÖR FRIENDLY NOISE-SAMMANKOMSTERNA

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Nu på torsdag, 7 augusti, är det dags för höstsäsongspremiär för Friendly Noises klubb på Sugar Bar. Ny dag: torsdagar, den första varje månad. Kammakargatan 9, kl. 20:00-01:00. Inträde: 50 kr. Åldersgräns: 18

Denna kväll blir det live-musik med:

KUMI

Kumi Okamoto har varit medlem i dels poptrion The Konki Duet, som gett ut ett par album på franska etiketten Active Suspension, dels Tokyo-baserade frankofila duon Crazy Curl (Channel Pro). Nu har Kumi även en solokarriär och kommer denna torsdag till Stockholm och spelar sin j-pop live.

DIFFERNET
2008 har varit ett ganska tyst år för Differnet, förutom den helt magnfika spelningen på Friendly Noises femårskalas i våras. Men nu gör Differnet en av sina sällsynta spelningar med full besättning, med alla fyra medlemmar på plats på scen.

Friendly Noise passar även på att ge ut en ny singel med Differnet, “Lady Macbeth”. Det är en gammal outgiven och fantastisk låt som delar av Friendly Noise tjatat om länge, efter att ha fått den på en cdr för typ fem år sedan, en låt som Differnet själva helt har glömt bort. Den kommer spridas som mp3, från och med nästa vecka på vår hemsida, och under Sugar Bar-kvällen finns en limiterad 3″-upplaga till försäljning.

Om “Lady Macbeth” och Differnet-spelningen:

stefan: om jag ska göra ett utskick, vad kan jag skriva om er spelning?
tomas: alltså jag vet ju inte exakt vad vi ska göra än. ska bestämmas i helgen
tomas: men jag tror det blir john cage - four (6)
tomas: eller nåt helt annat
tomas: sen är det viktigt att påpeka att den där låten är väldigt gammal. kommer inte ihåg om den är gjord sommaren 2003 eller 2004?
tomas: men jag tror nästan 2003
tomas: ojoj jag hade helt glömt bort hur den lät. flera år sen jag hörde den
stefan: positivt överraskad?
tomas: väldigt MBV
stefan: ja, den trappas upp rätt mycket
tomas: hade framförallt glömt bort den där versionen. har inget minne av att jag gjort den öht. den ursprungliga versionen saknade de där trummorna och sånt tror jag
stefan: “har inget minne av att jag gjort den öht.” låter ju bra tycker jag. som att det verkligen blir som att det är en helt ny låt, även om inget ni gjorde nu förmodligen skulle låta riktigt så där

FIVE YEARS OF FRIENDLY NOISE

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

In March it’s exactly five years since our first record, “Friendly People Making Noise”, was released. We will celebrate this jubilee by a whole bunch of events this Spring. It all seems interesting and fun, we think. For interviews and/or more info contact us first through e-mail: friendlynoise@gmail.com

* In March it’s exactly five years since our first record, “Friendly People Making Noise”! We will celebrate this jubilee by a whole bunch of events:

* First, on Wednesday 5 March, there will be a release party at Allmänna Galleriet for the second issue of film magazine FLM where Friendly Noise again is responsible for the musical content: Sarto will perform live, we will DJ, and videos for “Clouds in transit” by Testbild! and “I look out for you” and “ICA Lappis” by Action Biker will be shown.

* Then, on Thursday 27 March, there’s a Friendly Night at Debaser Slussen, where Testbild!, Most Valuable Players and Differnet will perform live. The same night we hope our two new records will be available for the first time: “Splendid Isolation” (FYN 068), a compilation of a selection of songs from our 2007 mp3 series, and “Hesperian Puisto”, the long-awaited debut album from Action Biker (FYN 069). Don’t miss the Action Biker interview in the new issue of Bon, issue #42.

* And that’s not all, Friendly Noise will also host a club in Stockholm with live music and DJ:s. It will be the first Tuesday every month, beginning in April, at Sugar Bar.

Other news: The three latest Friendly Noise albums are now available via Radio Khartoum’s Friendly Goods which means much much better availability in America from now on. Also, “Day for night” by The Dreamers are now distributed in Japan, through Quince!
