Off The Record #1: Pernas de Alicate

Hoje estreamos a nova rubrica Off The Record, em que o objectivo principal é mostrar um outro lado bandas que nós já falámos no FYMS.
De um modo mais informal - e bastante divertido -, em locais íntimos e especiais para essas pessoas onde nos vão falar de temas actuais, de música, dos próximos projectos e ideias para o seu futuro.

Nada melhor do que começar esta secção com os incríveis Pernas de Alicate.

Pernas de Alicate, Mosca (DJ Ride)

Pernas de Alicate estão sempre a inovar - isso é, um facto.

As realidades da música e imagem misturam-se de forma graciosa e chamam à atenção por serem tão particulares.

A verdade é que já conhecemos Mosca, a música de apresentação do projeto e que nos transportou para o mundo dos Pernas.
Esta é uma nova versão da música pelas mãos de um dos DJ's e produtores mais conceituados da atualidade que dá uma nova realidade a Mosca.
Com fortes inspirações no hip-hop, DJ Ride transforma Mosca num verdadeiro hit para o Verão que ainda está para vir.

O video conta, novamente, com a colaboração de Alec Strang, com quem já tinham colaborado em Barba.

Sempre inovadores, Carlos BB e Sara Feio continuarão a surpreender!

Interview // With Pernas de Alicate

Pernas de Alicate are very peculiar.
Actually, they are considered to be more than just another project. They mix two strong components - sound and image - and it's controlled by Carlos BB - who owns the drums - and Sara Feio - who brings images to life.

In this interview, we got the chance to talk about their project, their challenges and experiences.

Check everything below.

Also check their freshly released song/video Barba.

Pernas de Alicate, Barba

Pernas de Alicate are this exciting new project that not only takes attention to the music part but also, pays quite a tribute to the visuals component.

After the very "strong and powerful" Mosca, they've just release their new song/video Barba.

Barba is quite schizophrenic, mumbling from calm to a very agitate state, enriched by a very intimate and interesting instrumentals counting with Carlos BB (Riding Pânico and Men Eater) on drums, Guilherme Gonçalves (Coclea and Gala Drop) on guitars, Fábio Jevelim (Riding Pânico and PAUS) on guitars, Francisco Ferreira (Capitão Fausto) on keyboards, Pity (Black Mamba and Neruda) and You Can't Win, Charlie Brown on vocals.

Directed by Sara Feio with the cooperation of Dickon Knowles and Alec Strang, Barba is beautifully complemented by a very rich and exquisite video - once again, with a strong blink in the short film world.

Pernas de Alicate, Mosca

Pernas de Alicate are very peculiar.
Actually, they are considered to be more than just another project. They mix two strong components - sound and image - and it's controlled by Carlos BB - who owns the drums - and Sara Feio - who brings images to life.

Another interesting feature in this project is the amount of incredible artists who joined this lovely ride.
Carlos BB is the owner of a Recording studio named Black Sheep Studios and that inspired him to invite several and distinctive musicians to work in this project.
The process was simple: Carlos BB would work with people who's work he liked and appreciate it. Most of them, he never worked before. And leads to a different approach, with each musician being invited to play their part above the recorded beat from BB, starting from the bottom - the drums. And Sara would bring her skills and transcript the songs into images.

On their first single Mosca, counts with Carlos BB (Riding Pânico, Men Eater) on drums, Miguel Nicolau (Memória de Peixe) on guitars, Alex Klimovitsky (Youthless) on vocals, Duarte Ornelas on keyboards and Xico Fernandes on percussion.

Mosca is different, strong and powerful. Such as Pernas de Alicate, bring a new and really fresh sonority reflecting one of music's most important message: UNION.
