Driven by the internet?
EB: In a way, the moment was more viral was when we went to the "boiler room". It is a worldwide event and we participate in the first that was organized in Lisbon. Our timing and recording that was subsequently reached a lot of people outside who did not know us at all and this was our moment.
HA: There is also another very interesting phase, after we release our EP in October, and even before we have many scheduled concerts were invited to a concert in "Serralves em Festa". It is an event that brings together many people of Porto and not only around 85 000 people, which went very well and gave us the idea that it was a second moment that was emerging around the band. After that began to appear some praise from the national press, so I guess you could consider it our second shot was at this concert in Serralves.
This new record what it will be in addition to what you already done so far?
HA: It is a more direct, because in two years we have evolved and sometimes get things done that we were interested in a more rapid way, rather than in the other record. Also we have made some songs in the time that we are doing concerts. The evolution of these shows and the songs we are playing make the approach to the next album easier. Apart from that, I think this new EP will be completely different.
EB: It will be different from the first, if we get to that point, the whole will be more consistent, we more properly telling a story than to show a collection of songs as was the case with previous musical project. It is consistent in the sense that we are well indeed with our truth.
Already have a title for this new EP?
NS: We do not.
A phrase that can define it?
HA: I think it will hit, it will be a hard spiritual. It will have six song or maybe some more. We plan to release it next fall.
How is the future in Portugal for young musicians like you? It is more difficult, because you do not fit into a particular genre?
EB: The future of the musicians is a complex issue. It will be very easy to make music in the future will be much harder to live of it. It's more affordable, because the means to do so are cheaper; computers are within the reach of people that allows them to produce in their home without having to resort to large studios and all limited this before.
NS: That helped and is evident in our case, we could not produce our sound if not for your computer, we had no musical training, was heresy try to make music some 10 years ago.
HA: We consider that Filipe is an instrumentalist, has part of the production in terms of music and graduated in that area. We are most music lovers, enjoyed music and have the bug. When we took these early opportunities, we started to make progress. From our part was an immense demand, although naturally arise, playing and making music as a band, but we were thinking about what we would do.
EB: Just to go back a bit and complete what you were asking about the future, I think we are already living the future of Portuguese music. People are increasingly accessing the possibilities to listen to good music, I'm sure you've never heard so much as now and then there is another important element that is the internet has changed all that. Why? Because little musicians come to dominate best legitimate means of spreading rather than the music business themselves, who still believe that musicians have to promote the old fashioned way. They have no idea how well the Internet works and musicians are more independent. This has provoked new opportunities. Now, to be well known, or be known by a vast group of people today, and I do not tell the future, it will not mean being rich with music. Honestly I have no desire in this sense, if you can live it and have spare change to buy tobacco, great, perfect. But, I have no desire in this matter. I think the current panorama of musicians also do not have this longing, they do it for the good music, as we are passionate about and I think it is a beautiful moment for the Portuguese music.
NS: Before you think of making money, or live music, we want to be comfortable to do what we do. On the day we feel that we do not identify with what we are doing, I do not even know how to imagine this scenario, because it is something that I do not see for us.
HA: There are things that exist alongside the band that makes you keep it. We are friends of each other, have an intellectual identity, so to speak, a part from the music.
EB: We're always together. We live across the country, from the north to the center and this means that we have a different rhythm as a band.
NS: We felt that we needed to be together as a band.
HA: After we feel we cannot stop talking to each other. We started rehearsing at the mall Stop, a very special place. Had become a dated shopping, however, abandoned stores were filled with bands, now they must rehearsal in this space something like 200 groups are 3 floors filled with music. It was important at an early stage go there making music and then do it in the village. It's a little escape from the city, where we feel comfortable.
