What about an anatomy of our civilization?

Remind me to breath, When i can't catch my breath . . .

When i first listened to oOoOO, before a week or so, i was really shocked. No words to describe this unique band and its twisted vision. If i should use common terms to give you an idea about what is going on with oOoOO i should mention words such as "minimal", "ritual noise" and "weird indie/pop" (the good way). The music is based on haunted beats over which bittersweat/twisted synth themes are taking place. Is like waking up in the night during your sleep and start waking around with no consiousness at all. This band creates landscapes dedicated for the odd aspects of your character, using things normally lead to weak, silly pop tracks. And this is the real deal, their talent of "distorting"!

Furthermore, the band posts no specific info about itself on myspace. Also, my little search on the net had not any result. Propably there are two bandmembers, according to their photos, but who knows? So here it is! A mystery band and its mysterious aura utterly suited to this magnificent music. The mistery is enhanced after a glance on their label site (Disaro Records) which is full of interesting, rather spooky, artists.

Another thing that makes this band so much adorable, at least to me, is the DIY attitude they promote. Forget about the lifeless manufactured cds printed by major record companies. Those things are always something inbetween plastic shit and plastic meaningless shit. oOoOO print their art to limited cd-rs embraced by handmade sleeves! That means your copy will be one of a kind and special! You know, you can listen to great music while you are "exploring" the package. I haven't order my copy yet but i will defenitely do that next few days as there are only 100 copies. Great band after all, you must give it a try asap!

The shame of blogs to come . . .

Hello guys and gals of this shitty world,

"Too Many Brides In Black" is another blog dedicated to arts and especially to music. There will also be some posts about science (in its original form - i don't give a fuck about how fast is the new Ferrari) but i promise they will be very few and not so often (so, don't be scared if you had an E on maths at school). Music has the first place here and the majority of posts will present bands i think you should check before you die, or at least after you do that. All genres will be covered unless they have to present something unconventional, strange and twisted. In addition i will try to post things related to arts in general, from videos to great photos (some of them taken by me - in this case delete "great" and add "trashy"). Lastly i may review some gigs i attend to. At this point i should underline that there will be NO downloading links. I think it's really easy to find whatever you want, you don't need me to provide you links.

In addition, for the past two years i have been contributing (and i still do) to a metal/rock/etc. webzine, called Avopolis.Metal (give it a try if you speak greek). Some of the things i wrote for this site have never been published, so i am planning to post them here. To give you an idea, there is a VERY interesting Cult Of Luna interview somewhere in my pc. If i am lucky enough, i'll find it.

Someone may say that there are already millions of similar blogs and the world doesn't need another one. You are right, but i don't give a fuck! It's free and nobody forces you to read this. You can give it a try and if you see there is something good on it you keep on reading. If not, place you hand on your "300-button-i-use-it-to-play-online-games" mouse and press "X" on the address bar, then go kill yourself. You see, it's easy after all.

There will not be regular updates as i strongly believe that someone has to focus on quality rather than on quantinty. Moreover i don't have too much free time to fool around my pc. Also, posts will be, mainly, short and precise. Pages written full of shitty, useless info are like a kick in the head, i'll avoid this (or i'll try to - nobody is perfect).

First, normal post, later on or tomorrow.

Take It or Leave It.
