Watch a trailer for the upcoming Hocico-album, due for release on December 2012
Some say that Stop Making sense by Talking Heads is the best concertmovie ever made. This is surely due to Jonathan Demme's skills.
Good news is that he did the same with Neil Young by filming his concert at the Massey Hall at Toronto.
Apart from classics like Ohio and I Believe In You, the master brings material from his latest album.
The film will also features some extra material like a conversation between Demme and Young.
Journeys is released on 9th January on Sony.
Miserylab is Porl King's solo project, in the 90's he was the frontman of Rosetta Stone, which was the most famous and succesful goth-rock band of the decade.
A purely dark post-punk approach - of large chorussing bass and guitar - up front unmistakable drum machines and new wave synthesizers... there's no self-indulgence here - this is about connecting - and connecting immediately lyrically and melodically. “Documentary” is a retrospective collection of classic Miserylab material - stemming 2008 to present day.
Including some of the earlier, possibly overlooked tracks such as 'Making a Bomb' to the more well known hits and anthems such as 'People', ‘Children of the Poor', 'Fear for the Future', ‘Five one one'… coupled with a 7" single of recently recorded, previously unavailable in hard format singles and rarities. As with all Miserylab albums there isn't a single second of filler here!
As the CD moves chronologically, there is a tangible sense of progression as the tracks become dynamically bigger and stronger - as the consistency of song-writing is maintained from start to finish.
Miserylab wears it's heart on it's sleeve - there is no diplomacy or shying away from issues or it's political stance - this is pure anti-capitalism - anti-war - anti-right-wing.. and if you disagree with it - if you challenge it - it will answer you back.
There are no apologies given. Miserylab is on the side of the poor - the voiceless, those who have done right even those who have done Wrong. It will always stand against authority under any circumstances.
If this makes you uncomfortable it's meant to - Miserylab is uncomfortable....
Urban Gothic: The inspiration was the melancholic 'feeling' rather then gothic symbolism like skulls or crosses. We wanted a contemporary every-day-life melancholia of hidden secrets, lost relations, erotic adventures, and guilt….
But not in an explicit way with dialogues but in an 80's sense of videoclip…15 minutes 4 songs 1 story (based on images of the big city -small problems- rather then big symbolic goth cliché's.
The film is directed by Lawrence Tooley and Marc Bijl.
