We consider
Hellbilly Club a band and stage veteran Neo / Psycho national . After releasing their first jobs Crazy Love Records, they were then to return to desktop publishing, in this his fifth album, a label specializing, in particular Raucous Records. Faces Zombie can be summarized as a fast, powerful and straight to the point. Those familiar with the Catalan trio record, you will notice in this record is a clear regression in their ways. The echoes Stray Cats, Reverend Horton Heat or Quakes give way to a typically European Psychobilly sound. Here you will find yourself not instrumental drastic change of pace, half-times and versions, and own self-produced six songs, just the sound of a theremin and a pair of voice effects to dress lightly overlook the disc. If you like the music of the early Frenzy, GuanaBatz, Torment, Phantom Rockers, enjoy the Old School Pure Hellbilly.
You carry more than a decade on the road, with an average of two albums a year Is it so hard to keep a journey from the Underground?
because the truth is yes .. hard at trying to enter the 'front door' in the music market ... Also we love doing what we do and that compensates.
Faces Zombie you show in a more raw sound and your look to Europe trends Does this mean a shift in the direction of the band or simply wanted to show the dark side of Hellbilly Club?
is simply a parenthesis. Faces Zombie actually goes a bit against our principles. Always try to innovate within the psychobilly / rockabilly. We never wanted to sound like this or that or do this way or that way, because it abounds too much and because we do not go with us. Zombie Faces But we have a sort of nod to old-school psychobilly, a little to meet part of our musical tastes and to pay homage to this style and their fans outraged by new psychobilly bands that mix metal and styles and so pissed off the purists:) .. But as I say, is only a parenthesis.
I guess maybe you can not get many trick in this, do not you think that the characteristics of the disc could have been a good idea to edit it in vinyl ...
in this case depends on the label and personally we would have loved, but to edit it on vinyl, you do it even more underground ... who knows, maybe it is a reissue on vinyl in the future ..
The only variable since Hellbilly Club seems to be the drummer. As I have understood, Rafa Berrakero is no longer with you and play with you again David Raya right? Would you give a hard time with Marc battery level, Rafa or David and also enjoy a style so defined?
because the truth is yes. The problem is that no holdings of 16 years and is difficult to find someone who has skills, conpromiso, time, desire and not Talladega. We had a lot of batteries, at least ten or twelve, and we found everything ... some played well but were just unpresentable .. and sometimes the reverse. I hope David Raya is final.
Throughout your career you have had several parallel bands, some nearly as Hellbilly Spin Offs Surfin 'Club "Tennis is an urgent need to show your tastes extraHellbillies? Do you open the doors to these bands new scenarios? How is the currency of Atomic Leopards? Hellbilly
Surfin 'Club band was more than other brackets for a single concert and band instruments. Unfortunately it does not 'see light' as it has suspended the only show that he would do under that name next June in Calella. Regarding the other bands that we parallel, now both David and I are with Martin Degville Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Atomic Leopards. We really have many musical tastes than the rockabilly and psychobilly ... In fact we can get to like almost anything if we 'get', as the case of Sigue Sigue Sputnik, which is rather r'n'r mail .. . Atomic Leopards is the style that initially more influenced us and that is all I really do not have HC as a classic cliches. Neorockabilly We love the 80's in the wave Stray Cats and the Polecats mixed with 60's, blues, etc ... is a band that also started as fun and we ended up taking it a bit more seriously. We have finished recording other album (the third) and will be released soon also Raucous Records. Most of the tracks are versions, as we let our inspiration as composers will side towards HC.
In the last few years have seen new generations of fans and bands, we have seen as members of different subcultures are mixed in all types of concerts How do you see the scene in relation to the times in which Hellbilly Club were in their infancy?
In our case it is good as having no clasificlable style helps us to be open to other sectors is purely pychobilly or neo rockabilly, it is not good to stay box completely. I understand that a band like The Meteors did not quite like they have other styles and other fans that are not purely psychos, but we do what we like and think we should.
What a course for you have toured with legends such as Tim Worman and Paul Roman? I guess neither hubieseis imagined ten years ago.
Well, that's the VIP area of \u200b\u200bthe scene:) Both Tim and Paul are great professionals and leading two of our favorite bands ever. It was amazing to work with Tim P. It is unfortunate that puedieramos not do more ... It is also a very funny guy. Roman Paul kept in touch and hopefully long While we know it. It was incredible to "50 Guns & 100 Men" with him. We learned a lot from both Tim and Paul ... We're pretty lucky
What do you think bands like Pharaohs return, Ricochets, Sunny Domestozs or Boppin Kids, among others, after many years of silence?
not look bad, but it is something that in my point of view is good for them and for the fans. Time does not forgive anyone. I think it would be much better to return to the stage but as new bands. I respect him but not something that I like a lot, especially if the band tries to do what he did 20 years ago ... It would be nice if they were bands that evolve but if you do not want to live I see a bit of nostalgia. In my case, I've seen some bands that have returned after 20 years almost in silence, or that had been separated and have come together to play again and for me it is no longer the same and in some cases is almost grotesque ... It is as if Clint Eastwood returned to The Good, The Bad And the Ugly today ...
Projects ...
level will record a little rest, as between 'No More Parasites' and 'Zombie Faces' recordings and productions have covered a lot in a short time. At least 1 year and a half for another new album. The issue of live we will move much more than in 2009. Probably haremos una gira por España y lo que es seguro es la gira que haremos este próximo marzo en Inglaterra de cuatro conciertos. En nuestras webs están las fechas confirmadas.
