The last time they were in Athens our feet hurt from dancing. Our favourite live disco band The Swiss from Adelaide is back in town. Tonight the three piece (Sidwho?, Tony Mitolo and Luke Million) are performing at Bios. Do us a favour and don’t miss this one. The Swiss found some the time to drop a line to Last Gas Station about disco, shaking hips, bubbles, French champagne, fast cars, and bodybuilding. Get ready for an epic, disco, synth journey!

La.Ga.Sta.: Why Swiss and not Aussie?
The Swiss: That’s quite funny we’ve been saying that “Australia”, would be a great name for a band. But I think that it would only work outside of Australia. Same goes with The Swiss. It sounds exotic, it is worlds apart from Australia, culturally, geographically, and climate wise too. I just hope that it makes sense in Switzerland.

How would you describe your sound?
We have been told that we are Dance, Disco, Boutique Disco, Progressive Disco, Disco House, Live Disco Disco Bisco Disco, Moustache Disco. So I guess we are … Disco.

What has influenced you in the past years?
Many things have influenced the band over the years. Film, music, literature, sex, fast cars, and bodybuilding just to name a few. As individuals we are into different styles of music. When we come together those influences come out in our playing and form to make what is now The Swiss.

What turns you on?
Shaking hips, bopping bums and sweaty palms.

Where are your favourite places to play?
This is very hard to answer. In the end I guess no matter where we are in the world, once we start playing and the people are dancing you could be anywhere. It doesn’t really change. I mean other than the venue, the sound, the food and a different language for us not to speak it ends up being the same. That’s the great thing about music. It is truly a global art form that transcends international boundaries.

What is missing from the dance music scene nowadays?
There is less of some things and more of others. I don’t think it’s hard to find what you are looking for with a little research. From what I have been lucky enough to see and be a part of in different parts of the world it seems to be a thriving, positive and super fun scene full of productive, nice, helpful people with a few idiots thrown in for good measure.

How do you see today’s Australian electro scene?
It feels like there is almost a second wave of acts coming out of Australia. Acts like the Bag Raiders and Miami Horror releasing debut full-length albums this year is a great sign of things to come. It’s a very exciting time with new and old faces doing good things.

Which are your favoutire tracks at the moment?
Sidwho?: Logg – ‘Lay it on the line’
Luke Million: Patrice Rushen – ‘Forget Me Nots’
Tony Mitolo: Carte Blanche – ‘Do! Do! Do!’

Which is your favourite destination?
Earth.

Which songs do you love to listen to while driving your car?
I lost my license for the 5th time. I get it back when we go back to Australia. Plus I have an old Vespa which doesn’t have a stereo. Luke listens to classical music because his car speakers are blown and it’s the only genre that doesn’t distort them and Sid seems to always have Arthur Russell on whenever I am in his car.

What are you most excited about right now?
Playing these shows in Europe. I have been really busy over the last few weeks and we have been sidetracked thinking about other things. It has only just hit me now that within 8 hours I will be in Rome getting ready to play the first of the 10 shows we are doing over the next 2 weeks. I personally can’t wait to play some of our new music for you guys. Yeah!!!

Which is the best “Bubble Bath” to use? You should know by now…
Ha! Well…I guess the only baths we like are the ones that are full of people with the bubbles coming overflowing French Champagne.

Will disco never die?
I can honestly say…NO. Whether people call it Disco, or House, or Techno, or whatever. There will always be people dancing to that tribal bass drum going bang! Bang!Bang! Bang!. Thinking about it makes me smile.

Should we expect a full album in 2011?
Yes and we are excited.

So, put on your dancing shoes and dance the night away…

Κάτω από μια γέφυρα στο νότιο Λονδίνο βρήκαμε δύο Χ και ανακαλύψαμε το νέο ήχο της πόλης. Αν το La.Ga.Sta. ήταν συγκρότημα θα ήταν οι The xx.

The xx: “Intro”

2. THE WHITEST BOY ALIVE
Rules

Το πιο λευκό αγόρι του κόσμου έφτασε στο πρατήριο και πριν βάλουμε λουκέτο μας έσωσε (κυριολεκτικά) από την οικονομική κρίση. Με έναν όρο. Να ακολουθήσουμε νέους κανόνες: 1. Nα γίνουμε πιο λευκοί 2. Να γίνουμε πιο ζωντανοί. 3. Nα ξαναγίνουμε παιδιά. Αν δεν τους τηρήσεις, θα γίνεις μαύρη. Ουπς, έγινες!

The Whitest Boy Alive: “Island”

3. YEAH YEAH YEAHS
It’s Blitz!

H Karen O δεν αστειεύεται κι αυτό το αμάξι που αντί για ρόδες έχει ντισκομπάλες σαρώνει τους δρόμους της Νέας Υόρκης μέχρι να πεις yeah! Μας έβαλε με το έτσι θέλω στη θέση του συνοδηγού, μας πήρε το κεφάλι και νιώσαμε more than ZERO. Και δεν χρειάστηκε ποτέ να βάλουμε ζώνη. Ε, yeah, λοιπόν!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs: “Dull Life”

4. JJ
jj n° 2

Όσο και να ψάξεις οδηγό δεν θα βρεις, αλλά σε αυτό το αυτοκίνητο ακούς ψυθίρους στο πίσω κάθισμα και μελωδίες να έρχονται απο το πορτ μπαγκάζ. Κι αν η διαδρομή είναι μικρή, κανένα πρόβλημα. Στην επόμενη πινακίδα που θα δεις θα γράφει πάλι jj…

jj: “My Hopes and Dreams”

5. AU REVOIR SIMONE
Still Night, Still Light

Η Simone έχασε τον δρόμο της, στάθμευσε έξω από το πρατήριο και ζήτησε βοήθεια. Τον δρόμο της έδειξε ένας ψηλός άντρας με ατίθαση καρδιά. Εκείνη πάτησε GAS και εξαφανίστηκε στη χαμένη λεωφόρο. Θα την δείτε να πρωταγωνιστεί στην επόμενη ταινία του David Lynch…

Au Revoir Simone: “All or Nothing”

6. MIIKE SNOW
Miike Snow

Την πατήσεις. Δεν είναι αμάξι. Είναι το ζωό που κρύβεις μέσα σου. Και πεινάει. Θα το ταϊσεις χιόνι. Θα το φορέσεις μάσκα. Θα το πας βόλτα στο δάσος. Και θα το μάθεις να παίζει synths. Όταν μεγαλώσει, θα δεις, θα βγάλει κέρατα. Μεγαλύτερα από τα δικά σου!

Miike Snow: “Cult Logic”

7. PET SHOP BOYS
Yes

Τελευταία λες συνέχεια ναι και τα βλέπεις όλα κύβους. Το κρεβάτι σου. Τα ρούχα που φοράς. Το φωτιστικό δαπέδου. Τον γκόμενο σου. Τους λογαριασμούς. Το κινητό σου. Την μπάλα που κάνεις γυμναστική. Ακόμη και το αμάξι που οδηγείς. Σκάσε και οδήγα. Διαφορετικά, θα πέσει να σε πλακώσει.

Pet Shop Boys: “The Way It Used To Be” [Richard X Mix]

8. LA ROUX
La Roux

Μια φράτζα δεν πάει ποτέ στράφι. Για άλλον την άφησες και σε άλλον τελικά μοιάζει. Όχι, στη La Roux, αλλά στη φυλή Νάβι του Avatar! Ετσι, εξηγείται που πλέον δεν βάζεις το κλειδί για να πάρει μπρος το αμάξι, αλλά “συνδέεις” την φράτζα στην εξάτμιση και κάνεις το La Toyota δικό σου για πάντα. Vrooommm!

La Roux: “Bulletproof” [Acoustic Version]

9. CFCF
Continent

H disco είναι μεγάλη και τους χωράει όλους. Ακόμη κι έναν πωλητή στα American Apparel που όταν δεν διπλώνει κάλτσες και εσώρουχα, χάνεται στo σύμπαν του Blade Runner με το πάτημα ενός πλήκτρου. Το La.Ga.Sta. μεγάλωσε και τους χωράει όλους. Πόσο μάλλον έναν ταλαντούχο Καναδό που δεν πιάνει χώρο. Ούτε αυτός, ούτε η “Ήπειρος” του.

CFCF: “Big Love”

10. PHOENIX
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix

Ψιτ, το ξέρεις; Αν ο Mozart ζούσε στον 21ο αιώνα δεν θα έγραφε συμφωνίες. Γιατί; Δεν θα είχε χρόνο. Θα οδηγούσε ένα αμάξι τύπου Phoenix που όταν κορνάρει παίζει κιθάρα, όταν γκαζώνει παίζει πλήκτρα και όταν στρίβει παίζει ντραμς. Φαντάσου, δηλαδή, πως θα ακούγεται η εξάτμιση!

Phoenix: “Lisztomania”
