Some news

7TH HEAVEN

A year spent with the new crew and for celebrate it we just recorded three new songs, unhurriedly at home ... One of them should be on a compilation for supporting animal rights and for others ... well, we'll see!
Anyway we're happy with the result and the three songs will be available here as soon as possible.

Brand new, Carotide made us a nice design for a t-shirt (available in different size, "straight" or "girly"), we 've also some buttons, come to see us live or write us if you're interested ...

...

It will be a 10 "+ CD, ten new songs recorded, mixed and mastered at home (DIY! as they say...) with the help and patience of V. for the vinyl. The ten new songs as well as those of previous records (the split LP with Abats, the split EP with Pavilionul 32 and the split LP with Phase Terminale ... all out of stock...) and two songs which appeared only on compilations (including an adaptation of Aus Rotten), all remastered for the CD. The set is beautifully packaged in a gatefold cover designed by Carotide coproduced by no less than 11 labels (thank you again everybody!). The object should happen during september but you can already listen it here or read lyrics there if you want...

And while we're in news, Dav, our guitar hero leaves us for new adventures after 10 years (it will not be the same without you guy, it will be better! ;)) and we are joined by Adrien, first gig with the new crew at Punk's Shadow Fest., yippee!!

...

We're still here!

FIGHT AREAS!!

Go back... lot of gigs already booked here and there, often in the company of our siamese brothers of Les Fossoyeurs Septik for more fun (at least ours!). We're also motivated to go back to see the German comrades, probably in early April, and if the spirit of champagne will let us do it, we should again try to wedge a little weekend with our friends of Devore from Reims city...

Let's talk about records, a new one soon... We have a dozen new songs in stock, recording in January for release before the summer if all goes well!

Then...the world still stands, so it remains to bring it to fall...

As might be expected, the transfer of power in the hands of the socialists has not changed the situation, whether for illegal people who still waiting for the promised regularizations (in lille 125 of them have begun a strike hunger on November 02nd, 66 still pursues it ... more info on the blog of the CSP59) or migrants who continue to suffer the harassment police in Calais (keep informed through there...).
This is not better for the zad's comrades who are fighting for months against the construction of an airport in the north of Nantes and who have seen Jean-Marc Ayrault, former Mayor of Nantes and socialist deputy of Loire Atlantic, also the main promotor of this project, won the post of prime minister...one might as well say that they need support more than ever! (complete and updated information on a daily here.)
And since the hypocrisy of those in power has no limit, it's Dominique Plancke, green representative elected in the city hall of Lille, the same one which paraded during the great demonstration of reoccupation on November 17th against the project of Ayraultport and who had reopened a squat on the zad under the collusive eye of the media with his friend José Bové who signs the mail announcing the eviction of the friends of L'Insoumise, squated bookstore opened since September in lille, 10 rue d'Arras...

The struggle continues, their brave new world must die!!

...

I prefer to break it all...

GO TO VOTE?!

A lot of movement here since the tour, we did some gigs without one or the other of us and sometimes we canceled some shows at the last minute for reasons beyond our own will as they say... (sorry to the swiss comrades and thank you to the briton companions for the patience). Fortunately, band full or not, good times anyway... now we're back normally at least until June. Then we'll probably do a break, time to release new songs,and maybe more...

And to finish on something far more important in this crazy period to the race for the head of the kingdom of (f)rance, a little healthy reading will not hurt you.

"[...] As long as you didn't understand that it's your choice, alone, to decide to produce and live as you like, as long as you'll accept - by fear - and you'll make - by belief in the necessary authority - your own leaders and managers, know that your delegates and your masters will live of your labour and your silliness. You complain about everything! But isn't you the author of the thousand wounds who destroy you?

You complain about police, army, justice, barracks, prisons, administrations, laws, ministers, government, businessmen, speculators, state employees, bosses, priests, owners, wages, unemployment, parliament, taxes, customs officers, investors, the high cost of food and rent, long days of work, the less sustenance, hardships without number and the infinite mass of the social injustices.

You complain but you want the preservation of the system where you vegetate. You start revolt sometimes but to begin again always. It's you who produce everything, who plough and sow, who forge and weave, who mold and transform, who build and make, who feed and fertilize!

Why don't you eat at your hunger? Why are you the poorly dressed, the poorly fed, the poorly sheltered? Yes, why are you without bread, without shoes, without house? Why aren't you your own master? Why do you continue to bend? Why do you continue to obey? Why do you continue to serve? Why are you the subordinate, the humbled, the offended, the servant, the slave?

You elaborate everything and you possess nothing? Everything is by you and you are nothing.

I'm wrong. You're the voter, the one who accepts what is; the one who, by the ballot, valid all his pain; the one who, by voting, dedicates all his constraints.

You are the happy valet, the smily domestic, the lackey, the stooge, the dog licking the whip, crawling to the grip of the master. You are the cop, the jailer and the sneak. You are the good soldier, the model doorman, the voluntary tenant. You are the faithful employee, the devoted servant, the sober farmer, the worker of your own slavery. You're your own executioner. What are you complaining about?[...]

CRIMINAL, it's the voter!"

Hop, we do it again! We'll be back on the road from September, 09th to 24th and this time, no fear, we'll go with a blue van and we'll test the disco party's level more in the south area: Germany, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, Romania, Czech ...yeah stayin' alive!

2011...

RESIST, PERSIST, EXIST!!

2011 has started well for us with a nice stay in Millau (die José, die!) for a thematic day with film/discussion/concert entitled "banditry, illegalism, jail". Full of people at the opening doors and it was nice to see that people don't came just for the gig, even though this one would fit in a political context ... "Yes to the party, to the struggle also!! " Thank you to Camille & Dorian La Fibre, Fabien, Maya and all the organization for having invited us, hosted us and everything else!

Our two next gigs will be also for two important things to us.
The first one will support the Anarchists Against The Wall collective, who still needs money to finance the defense of Israelis and Palestinians activists who are fighting against the construction of the separation wall (more info here).
The second one will be in support of our Romanian friends of the Gluga Neagra collective who develop since nearly 15 years now punks, anarchists and DIY activities in Timisoara in spite of various problems with the local nazis and the state repression against them. They also need money to continue "serenly" their activities including the organization of the annual festival Reclaim! Underground Timisoara. More information about the collective's website here and on that of the festival there.

Well... We have a new email adress, if you need to contact us, write now to: lasocietepue [at] singularity.fr , take care!
