How would Billy Bao exist as a band without Mattin?
I pay very close attention to everything Mattin does. I don't enjoy all of it, but I do greatly enjoy all the best moments....Recent collab 7" on Rock Is Hell, his Songbook vol 4 on Azul Discografica, all the Billy Bao stuff minus the Accumulation EP.
Reading his interview in the new Z Gun #3 has helped a lot to make more sense outta what he does. I know some people have read that and threw it down in disgust. It does sound pretty arrogant and intense. The idea of Billy Bao performing "micro-improvisation" on a single riff is a great way of stating something interesting about that band, but I don't see where he takes credit for inventing the idea. Surely, the Brainbombs did the same thing. But Billy Bao supposedly never plays the same song more than once. It does kinda boggle my mind to think that these songs are not rehearsed, though.
The interview explains the Mah-Cheen pronunciation.
