Chemical Brothers actuar� el domingo 24

?Tenemos que pagar una deuda con los chilenos?

Domingo 10 de octubre de 2004



Felipe Rodr�guez



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------





?Es un privilegio estar haciendo ruidos en un estudio?, cuenta Simons.











En mayo de 1999, The Chemical Brothers estaban en Londres haciendo las maletas para viajar por primera vez a Sudam�rica, cuando su manager los llam� por tel�fono. ?Muchachos, suspendimos el show en Chile por seguridad?. Tom Rowlands y Ed Simons, el d�o detr�s de bocados irresistibles como ?Hey boy, hey girl? y ?Block rockin beats?, no entendieron nada. El motivo era uno solo: Augusto Pinochet estaba detenido en la capital inglesa y la visita del grupo podr�a generar caos en los adictos al octogenario ex militar.







?Ten�amos muchas ganas de ir a Chile?, dice al tel�fono desde Londres, Ed Simons. ?De hecho, cuando tocamos en Argentina conocimos a chicos chilenos que nos ped�an que fu�ramos a tocar all�. Recuerdo cuando pas� lo de Pinochet, pero no fue algo que me impactara. Por eso, ahora vamos. Tenemos que pagar una deuda con los chilenos?.







Sin aires de divo y sumamente respetuoso, el m�sico que se presenta el 24 de octubre en San Carlos de Apoquindo asegura que su fanatismo por las melod�as de Madness, The Specials y, sobre todo, New Order, fueron el trampol�n para obtener la credencial de h�roes de las pistas de baile.







?Creo que esas bandas me emocionaron. Siempre me gust� la m�sica, pero nunca tuve ese plan de hacer discos y tocar por distintos lugares del mundo. Tuvimos suerte. Cuando est�bamos en la universidad estudiando Historia y sacamos un �lbum, nunca pensamos que ser�a nuestra carrera. Para m�, es un privilegio estar haciendo ruidos en un estudio?, sostiene.







-Tienen planeado editar un nuevo �lbum en enero. �Mostrar�n algunas canciones in�ditas en Chile?







-Por supuesto. Terminamos de grabar nuestro nuevo disco hace un par de meses y estamos felices con el resultado. Pensamos que es el mejor disco que hemos hecho. Este verano en Europa tocamos un par de temas nuevos y al p�blico les encant�. Cuando estemos en Chile, ustedes decidir�n si les gustan o no.







-Han trabajado con varias estrellas de rock. �Qui�n los ha impresionado m�s?







-Trabajar con Bernard Sumner -l�der de New Order- fue incre�ble, porque hizo canciones que amamos. Wayne Coyne -voz de The Flaming Lips- es muy educado y con ideas muy freaks. Y Noel Gallagher es una leyenda. Vive cerca de mi casa y siempre cuenta historias de su hermano para morirse de la risa.

hemical Brothers will act Sunday 24 "We must pay to a debt with the Chileans" Domingo 10 of October of 2004 Felipe Rodriguez "It is a privilege to be making noises in a study", counts Simons. In May of 1999, The Chemical Brothers the suitcases to travel for the first time to South America were in London making, when his manager it called them by telephone. "Boys, we suspended the show in Chile by security". Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, the pair behind irresistible mouthfuls like "Hey boy, hey girl" and "Block rockin beats", did not understand anything. The reason was one single one: Augusto Pinochet was lengthy in the English capital and the visit of the group could generate chaos in the addict ones to the military ex- octogenario. "We had many desire to go to Chile", says to the telephone from London, Ed Simons. "In fact, when we touched in Argentina we knew Chilean boys who requested to us that we went to touch there. Memory when it passed the one of Pinochet, but was not something that hit to me. For that reason, now we go. We must pay a debt with the Chileans ". Without airs of extremely respectful divo and, the musician who appears the 24 of October in San Carlos de Apoquindo assures that their fanaticism by melod�as of Madness, The Specials and, mainly, New Order, was the springboard to obtain the credential of heroes of the dance tracks. "I believe that those bands moved to me. I always liked music, but never I had that plan to make discs and to touch by different places from the world. We had luck. When we were in the university studying History and removed an album, we never thought that it would be our race. For me, it is a privilege to be making noises in a study ", maintains. - They have glided to publish a new album in January. They will show some unpublished songs in Chile? - Of course. We finished recording our new disc makes a pair of months and we are happy with the result. We thought that it is the best disc than we have done. This summer in Europe we touched a pair of new subjects and to the public it enchanted to them. When we are in Chile, you will decide if they like or no. - they have worked with several stars of rock. Who has impressed them more? - To work with Bernard Sumner - leader of New Order- was incredible, because he made songs that we loved. Wayne Coyne - voice of The Flaming Lips- very is educated and with ideas very freaks. And Noel Gallagher is a legend. It lives near my house and it always counts histories of his brother to die of the laughter.

Not all is lost in translation but... well... let's just say some of the wording in there that made me laugh out loud!! Or maybe I'm just perverted this morning. ;)



I think it's very interesting that article brought up Pinochet and the goings-on in Chile at the time they were to be there last. It's heavy stuff. Especially in the Chemical world - makes you wonder what they make of it all, as you know they tend to be quiet when it comes to any political talk in the press. Anyway. It makes you wonder if and how often they've bumped into other security issues, in other places. To have a gig cancelled because of the potential for political uprisings is a big deal - I am so glad they get to go to Chile and other parts of South America. I hope to read what they think of that part of the world, as well as gig reviews from fans, of course!



Bring it on, gentlemen! Can't wait for the new record!

DELETED

absolutely sweet news. can't wait.

what up with ed touching young chilean boys all about..............! }:-)

yes i know :? babel fish is not very good i will try to make my own translated version, but right now i dont have much time. so is the best i can do. :)

It's ABSOLUTELY MINDBLOWINGLY MOTHERFUCKINGLY FANTASTIC news!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 :o :o



However, I doubt it will be released in January - probably March or April...coz I'm pretty sure the artwork isn't finished yet, + they need 2-3 months for promotion, so ... :(

don't be so negative when you don't know!! the boys are aiming for january so lets keep them fingers crossed!! they are probably going to keep this album under wraps a bit longer than come with us so no accidents can happen!! we will hear news soon so they have told us twice and all this speculation can end. is it me or is everyone getting nervous about this release!!

DELETED

anType Escribi�:

i'm just talking facts here. info about the album usually appears 2-3 months before the release date....

still time for january release then!!!

DELETED

patience is a virtue!!!! but what the fuck is a virtue!!

Oh yeah, this summer is going to be sweeeeeeeet.

yeah this winter is going to be special with the new New Order album comin out soon. Oh my water just broke!!! :o

New album is one blessing from heaven, but I also can't wait for the new live show. It is going to be different from the sets they have been playing, and I can't wait to see what kind of new visuals they might have for old favorites. Realistically, since I live in NYC and can't travel because of work, I won't be seeing them in at least a year. My nipples are hard with anticpation for them to tenderize my brain again.

the album will be probaly out in january/feb as a single will have to be released first and that is usually a month to 2 months before the album and the fact that no singles are released after the last week of november here cause of xmas means jan

I hope Here come the drums is the next single released. I am just getting goosebumps just thinking about it. never heard it though.

wow!, i'm from chile, i can't believe they are playing here just in 2 weeks, i've got my ticket already, andd yeahh i'm very curious about that track too (here comes the drums) some huge drums ala dig your own hole!..cool

I'm just waiting for that moment, for when I'm in bed, and a song comes on I've never heard before, I sit up and think, is this them, the gods of music, is it? and the DJ says "and that was the new track from the Chemical Brothers". Can't beat that feeling!

anType Escribi�:

yah, hopefully winter 2005!! 8)



not only i'm interested in hearing the new tracks, but i'd also love to check out the new art direction... oh boy, am i excited?? :D :D

yes me too the artwork is always excellent.
