What does it feel when the audience sings your songs in concert?
It is recognition of the orthodox way as we come to them. Apart from the singles played on the radio that there was a dense mass of songs in sync with soap operas. In the 1st disc almost all the songs were present in these series and the second disk, launch soon after, in addition to a generic with the song “break”, we saw three singles from the disc to be part of a successful show. This was a quick and effective way of making people feel comfortable with many songs and knew the lyrics and sang it, from back to front, live.
Portuguese musicians still feel like a certain discrimination in playing their songs on the radio when the opposite doesn’t happen with Anglo-Saxon music?
Quite the contrary. After we hit all the tops, without any claim to this statement, we felt cherished and we felt that there was a sort of hunger for our music. It is a balloon of oxygen have a theme highly desired by the public, allows us to secure our space and not have to "convince" the broadcasters and playlisters to give us an opportunity.
Because they are a band of the North, was more difficult to edit the first album, since the decision centers are concentrated in the capital?
Quite the opposite, it was very easy. When we are predisposed to present the work to publishers we had already done all , the pictures, the concept, the website, the duet ... everything! When finally sent our work to them, was the contrary, they were eager to stay with the product, and it fell on our lap the responsability to manage the best proposals. And I think a lot more bands, artists, projects must be self-made. The industry has changed a lot, we must have this consciousness!
You see the music scene in Portugal? And in the North?
It is sui generis. You must know the intricacies, the modus operandi and know when is the best timing to inject the your products on the market. I think it may be easier if this study has been done well, and if it is more difficult if you randomized trials, is like "shooting-the-sparrows."
For when a third album? For all I know is already being recorded, the What can we expect from him?
Our 3rd album (3D), as its name implies will have all the inherent of three dimensions, photos, videos and the a booklet, the merchandising, etc., through a pair of anaglyph glasses provided with the purchase of hard copy when it reaches the shelves. The product itself will bring a DVD because of multimedia elements in the same circumstances, but also because this will support the themes of the album in 5.1 surround mix to give it the whole concept of spatiality. We are in the process of arranging the new songs, we complete the recording process in August this year. I think the novelty factor, it will give plenty to talk about. The band is 100% dedicated to making this the best work ever.
