The Prostitutes Corner » second album

The Rolling Stone experience.

destroyer — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:03:33 +0000

In 2005 students of some university in Mexico City asked us on myspace to come over and play at their party. Even though they started a petition, we never made it to Mexico. Last issue of mexican edition of world-famous music magazine Rolling Stone shows Depeche Mode on the cover, but hides something way more surprising inside and it puts us back on mexican music map. An above-average review of Hometown Zombies album, competing with Pete Doherty and hungarian band Hangmas on the same page. Btw, Hangmas have got two music videos made by Šimon Šafránek, the director of Boom and Elephant music videos recently released by The Prostitutes. Is this a possible conection? We don’t know yet.

The english translation coming soon.

And big thanks to Aldo Salinas, who pointed out the review for us and sent us the scans!

Achtung, CD Baby!

We’ve been busy last weeks and we still are. You saw us: recording, protesting against policy of Board of Czech Radio, playing live at radio Wave.

THE NEW ALBUM, THE FIRST SINGLE, MUSIC VIDEO AND NEW TOUR

So, after two years of intense gigging and preparation of new material we finally recorded 14 tracks to be further developed. It took us less than two weeks in David Koller’s Cox studio where we were with producer Dušan Neuwert and sound engineer Petr Kaláb. Now, we are finalizing the songs in Tata Bojs studio and our own recording home facilities, mainly at my sweet Radiotron studio. In a week we should be ready with edits and additional recording and Dušan and us should move to Soundsquare studios to mix and master the record.

We are still not ready to announce the name of the forthcoming album, but we are pretty close. The record is playing a lot with the theme of all these hometown lost and dull souls around us and is conceived a bit as a film soundtrack, at least we are talking about it like this . One thing for sure, the first single is going to be released in the second half of January 2009 and it’s name is Leave It Like It Is. It is a rather not very cheerful duet of Adrian T. Bell and La Petite Sonja (Kill The Dandies!, ex-The Nihilists). I’ve got f***ing goose-skin everytime I listen to it so I hope you will have too.

Directing duo Mods, me and Michal Nohejl, we just returned from freezing Baltic Sea in Poland where we were shooting a music video for this song. Michal plays the main character together with his girlfriend, actress Petra Nesvačilová. The video is sponsored and produced by Bistro Films.

We can confirm that the whole new album is going to be released in March 2009 and immediately after the release we are going to tour all over CZ and also some other European countries.

THE LAST DISTORTION-DANCING-DESTRUCTION CONCERT

The Prostitutes will change. They already did, but they’re going to change more. The last concert of Distortion-Dancing-Destruction tour is going to take place in Rock Café, the same club we played our first gig 3 years ago, 27th December 2008, 8PM. Come and say goodbye to the old with us at this riotous post-christmas post-punk party!

RADIO WAVE LIVE SESSION, REMIX AND MOVIE TRAILER

We played and we enjoyed to play at “ZEROPOINTZEROFM” radio station persecuted by its own controller, protector and administrator – Board of Czech Radio. Here you can see some pictures from the show and at our myspace profile you can listen to live recording of “the” song which started it all – Swastika Eyes by Primal Scream – performed by The Prostitutes. Btw, at Swastika Eyes Day Com administrated by Sergei Macaroff you can listen to his remix of our song Sunshine called Sunshine (Beats & Beasts From Outer Space Remix) and, foremost, you can watch a movie trailer for the documentary about the collaboration with The Dad, Mr. Abe Cruz from NYC going to be ready in the same time as the new record. Click here to download the video or watch the youtube version bellow:

REMIXES OF REMIXES

We are also proud to offer you a remix of remix by The Fakes. They redid their last version of Sunshine and at our myspace we just uploaded 2.0 version which is really a new-romantic, hedonistic dance-floor anthemic smash hit IMHO but judge for yourself! This is the cover art:

We are in Cox Sudio in Jinočany right now. Recording the second album and it goes well. Very well.

Majors, indies, home project studio, huge hall and hi-end equipment, acoustic, electronic, experimental, classic, sponsors, self-financed, half there, half way to go, star producer, self-produced, full of guests, four member outfit, local, global. Hope we will be able to narrow our way a bit soon. Till then we will be working on our second album as we used to work: as total anarchists. Last week we fully finished another song, we recorded a silly bossanova cover of Holiday (waiting for Brazilian guest vocal), prerecorded a real rock anthem and came up with some more ideas completely alienating current vision of our album. In the meantime we are hunting for partners, sponsors and labels to finish and release the record as soon as possible finding this market rather implosive. There is a gap that we have to jump over. Or build a bridge. Or just find another way. How many times we will come to this same conclusion? And how many times we will trust the old ways believing in a change again? Still dizzy but still going forward, thats the way we do it

The last and the first.

While the video for the last single from our debut album finally got its sound post-production treatment and The Dad enters youtube again but in a higher quality, the first single from our upcoming album was already mixed and mastered. It happened on thursday in Dušan/Tata Bojs’ studio at Delta. It should be hopefully out due September and it seems that Mods, me and Michal, will do the music video for this one as a followup on our successful video for The Prostitutes’ Sunshine, again produced by Bistro Films production house in Prague.

But first of all, already mentioned new version of sensational The Dad sings The Prostitutes:

Thanx Anne Marie for all these DVDs (and Frank) with iMovie and Garageband projects! Everything worked perfectly. My respect to you and your dad for such an outstanding effort and see you soon on stage at Rock for people!

Special thanx to Apple for making things easy…

See you today at Planet Festival in Tábor!

Quiet, please.

If the spirit of the band needed to be elevated in last weeks, the best thing possible happened to us during the end of this week. We started recording of the second album and in the first two days we have recorded four tracks plus having two already recorded in a past in a can. We finally choose Dušan Neuwerth as a producer and we had a fantastic time collaborating with him. Recording in studio Moskva at Barrandov Film Studios, Prague we took all advantages of this vintage/modern vintage studio and achieved sound and atmosphere we were dreaming about from the day we finished the debut album. With a support of sound engineer Lukáš and manager of the studio Risto we had everything we needed being focused just on music. We recorded some really heavy stuff, some really weird stuff and some quite exceptional stuff for a post-punk band. See for yourself:

Festival season just started (yesterday we played Mezi Ploty in Prague) and one of the most important european music projects and festivals – Europavox – just released their annual compilation of the best european music. We are proud that our song Don’t give a Damn was chosen as one of the most interesting songs in the Rock category and is a part of this double CD containing 31 songs from the whole Europe.

Bud-Bud-Budweiser.

We went to the beautiful south to the city Bob and Dave think is a capitol of the world and Anheuser and Bush would sleep better if a nuclear bomb would raze this place out of planet Earth. Yes, we are talking about České Budějovice, a city well known for way more things apart from Budweiser Budvar but I just can’t figure out any of them except the beer and Drain, a rising heavy metal thunder combining rocknroll, grunge and metal. We came to the club called Marty’s Club and it was a pleasant place with a good bar and cool bartenders, with the nice guys from Drain and with the most horrible monitor speakers we saw in a while. And, with no Marty. We brought Paul Matthews aka Ladies Fitness Studio carrying just a two-string guitar (turning into one-string). Starting with his performance, Paul was just amazing. He did entertain people and grabbed their attention with the instrument I already described and his voice only, soon joined for a while by Adrian, Luk and some guy on drums, turning his set into spontaneous performance. After he finished I held a itunes set for two hours or so to try to play contemporary indie but ending with Baba O’Reily and Atmosphere.

The opening of the evening was served by Saxoon and their wipe-out/smash it/noise!noise!noise! “set” of one continuos wall of sound taking something like a half an hour. My ears were bleeding, my eyes were wide open. Definitely deaf, definitely something worth an attention.

Drain at home. What it means? It means the same like Drain anywhere else. Smashing set, booze, rocknroll and blood. Yes, they fight again and they bleed again. Remembering how their drummer looked like after the gig in Brno I may assume they probably won yesterday. Big thanx to these guys for inviting us there and making it happen. The first gig in České Budějovice was a pleasant evening and we were really happy how many of you came to have this party with us. Thanx to you too.

The real deal are the real friends and the real fans. Petra, Lucie and Adam aka Soulmate, Tcha-Tcha and Ringwraith. To see these guys anywhere and especially just in front of stage makes me after all these gigs feel almost like at home. Almost. To enhance this feeling, Soulmate invited us to her mother’s house to have chilli con carne and couple of hours of sleep. Unfortunately, we forgot the alcohol, so we finished the house reserva: a bottle of wine and couple of beers. Then we were singing to sleeping Šmity a song about what you shouldn’t forget when you want to party.

5 hours of sleep and we went back to the city to find a) Adrian’s bag b) Alex’s PC adaptor c) Alex’s shades d) a place to sit down and have a coffee with Petr Hanousek, my friend who was there with his family. We found the cafe. At least. The rest was found by Vodouch in a car and by Martin from Drain in the club. The “friday easyjet” guys thankfuly nod to these people!

Now as I am reading a comic strip making a fun out of this band and the “miserable state” pointing out the second record and new promo pictures I already know that till the end of this week I will be ready to bring you some really breaking news (and not just blah-blahs) and some really strange pictures even sooner.
