CUJO #06
AO VIVO: TOY DEATH [austrália]



Após uns quantos meses de descanso, as noites Cujo estão de regresso ao Lounge (e em dose tripla, por favor continuar a ler por aí abaixo). Depois de, no ano passado, nos ter deixado nódoas negras com inesquecíveis concertos de Kap Bambino, Team Plastique e Lucy and the Popsonics, Cujo volta a afiar os dentes, agora com a estreia em Portugal do projecto australiano Toy Death. Eles trazem-nos doces de horror-pop electrónico integralmente produzidos através de brinquedos torturados num jardim-escola de monstruosidades intergalácticas. Já deu para perceber que é ver para crer, certo?

"Sydney band Toydeath create their mashed electro music with sounds coerced solely from tortured toys! Re-purposing electronic children's toys to create energetic bursts of rock'n'roll mayhem, this Australian trio knows you don't have to play by the rules to have fun. Using their noisy gizmos, they extract the elements of music that kids will grow to torture their parents with. These 8-bit instruments provide the kinds of tinny distortion and glitchery that other bands sell their souls for. It's like listening to Sigue Sigue Sputnik as Tamagotchi! Toydeath have collected an arsenal of toys that would make any kindergarten green with envy!"

CUJO #07
AO VIVO: LOVE MOTEL [suíça]



Segunda investida Cujo para Novembro. Os Love Motel vêm de Genebra e adoram fabricar melodias pop entre a electrónica oitentista e o glam rock da década anterior, um fundo de canção clássica vestido e maquilhado com batidas dançáveis para pista de dança. Por ali entre os Pulp, Giorgio Moroder, Detroit Grand Pubahs e Chromeo. Referências que decerto eles assumirão, já que gostam de falar também de Marvin Gaye, Nancy Sinatra e... Judas Priest.

"Three years after his critically acclaimed debut album Après le paradis, Geneva based composer Love Motel is back on the scene with Mind the Void. Invoking a full suite of portraits, Love Motel describes «his» 21st century through the eyes of a bunch of lost souls (wasted nerds, repentant machos, TV addicts, sadistic gigolos, former dictators and naughty astronauts) looking for salvation. And while the portraits that he paints aren’t that pretty, his sexy musical performance as well as his dark and ironic lyrics transform Mind the Void into an hypnotizing, beautiful and menacing soundtrack of now. Mind the Void offers the same rich intensity as Love Motel’s former album, but meted out through a more mature and more cohesive sound that immediately grabs your attention. Andres Garcia’s skilful production keeps the tension bubbling just below the surface mixing glam rock guitars, booty basses and robotic rhythms bringing back something from the 80s, although contemporary textures always lurk beneath the surface."
