JohnGarcia:‘thisisaboutascloseasit’sGoinGtoGettoseeinGKyuss.’

John Garcia certainly has a down-to-earth approach towards the labels people have thrown at the music genre his former band Kyuss helped

to define 20 years ago. ‘I don’t mind if people call my music stoner rock. Or pussy rock. Or cock rock. It’s fine. It’s still rock ’n’ roll to me.’ Speaking via cell

phone from his car on a Californian highway, he’s equally as passive about the near-mythical status that Kyuss has achieved over the years. ‘We were just four young kids in high school who didn’t know what the fuck they were doing,’ he notes. ‘We were filling the void, in that we played music that was missing in our lives. The music we wanted to hear. We were just another rock ’n’ roll band.’

Be that as it may, Kyuss has become the stuff of legend – even if it was only after the band called it quits in 1995 that their reputation truly soared.

...The circus is back in town

For all music visit: www.unfoldamsterdam.nlIt helped that fellow guitarist Josh Homme shot to fame with Queens of the Stone Age, taking the stoner sound to the next level, and sparking interest in his former band. But other Kyuss members Nick Oliveri and Brant Bjork have also made their mark in bands such as Mondo Generator and Fu Manchu, as well as solo. And then there’s Garcia himself, who’s made a string of well-received records with Slo Burn, Unida and Hermano.

And now Kyuss Lives! Kind of. Josh Homme, who never showed any interest in a reunion, is con-spicuous by his absence. Garcia: ‘There’s a common misconception that Josh and I are at war with each other, but we’re not. I love Josh. He’s like a brother to me. The only reason that he’s not involved in this shit is that Josh is ever forward. He’s got brighter and better things to do than jump in the sack with his old band members again. I respect him for that.’ (Although Homme has since announced that QotSA will also be performing at Paradiso to revisit their own debut album from 1998.)

So why does Garcia want to ‘jump back in the sack’ with his old bandmates now? A cynic may argue that he realises the name Kyuss on the poster will sell more tickets than Hermano would. ‘People are gonna say I’m doing it for all kinds of reasons,’ says Garcia. ‘Out of sheer boredom or for the money. But if I was doing it for the money, I would have done it ten years ago. Cynical people are so goddamned bored with their own lives that they have nothing better to do than criticise mine, ’cause they don’t have a fucking life themselves.’

Rather, he explains that the main reason is to promote his more personal solo project Garcia vs Garcia – an idea he’s been walking around with for more than 20 years, collecting ‘the feelings, lyrics, songs and music’ along the way. ‘I’ve got to get this monkey off my back,’ he declares. ‘My solo record will hopefully be coming out by the end of this year. What better way to help promote Garcia vs Garcia than by celebrating my best?’

Kyuss Lives! plays Paradiso on 29 March. The show has been sold out for months, but hey, no harm in trying…

World Minimal Music FestivalFrom 30 March

Muziekgebouw embraces a minimalist aesthetic this month, inviting sonic innovators of past and present to participate in the second edition of this five-day music festival. Followers of the minimalist genre can find familiarity in the music of Steve Reich – his 1972 duet ‘Clapping Music’ can be experienced on the opening night, with various other works appearing throughout the week – Philip Glass and Michael Nyman. But the festival is reaching out beyond minimalist purists by offering a side programme curated by the next generation of Amsterdam music-makers. On each day, guests like Viral Radio, 22tracks and Future Vintage will present live sets, parties, workshops, interviews and more. There’s also a documentary by Miranda van der Spek about the ritual music of Cameroon mountain folk, and exhibited art-works by Boris Tellegen.

By Luuk van Huët

Back for a fourth edition, the Unheard Film festival has earned a solid reputation in recent years by elevating cinematic audio to the same level as the

visual. For film buffs, a key aspect of the programming this time is the attendance of several illustrious guests, who’ll enlighten and entertain during interviews and present their own work, as well as handpicking a film of their choosing. These guests include visionary Dutch filmmaker Rosto, who chose Alejandro Jodorowsky’s hallucinogenic masterpiece The Holy Mountain (1973); the Dutch composer/sound designer Michel Schöpping, who’s picked Gus Van Sant’s Elephant (2003); and the Scottish film artist/animator Matt Hulse, who will screen the rarely seen travelogue/documentary Gallivant (1997) by Andrew Kötting.

Music lovers and cinephiles alike will rejoice to hear that the most spectacular aspect of Unheard returns with a vengeance in this edition. Yes, it’s the clash of classic and cult films with a live band or

artist. Film critic/composer Kevin Toma will shape a new soundscape for the German urban classic Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt (Berlin: Symphony of a Great City); electronic producer Mike Slott twiddles his knobs for Russian director Andrei Zvyagintsev’s debut, The Return; while quirky Flemish sisters Blackie & The Oohoos will work their gloomy magic on Roman Polanski’s claustrophobic Repulsion. And for a late-night bout of crazy, local hipster duo The Moi Non Plus will reinterpret David Lynch’s debut masterpiece Eraserhead with a dissonant guitar/drum/noise attack.

Even though the prices are a bit steeper than your typical film outing, the experience of seeing iconic moving images whilst hearing a live performance is thrilling, so a visit to Unheard comes highly recommended. If you’re feeling lucky (and you speak Dutch), you can also compete in the Soundtrack Quiz and perhaps walk away with booty including DVDs and limited edition WeSC headphones. Just so long as those guys who can recognise every individual explosion from Michael Bay’s films don’t show up again. They win every frickin’ time…

Unheard Film runs from 24 March to 27 March at De Balie and EYE Film Instituut Nederland.

Stop. Look. Listen.

By Monte Bergamont

A CONVERSATION WITH NICOLE BLOMMERS OF AMSTERDAM STREET ART

Mention the phrase ‘street art’ and chances are you’ll enter into a fairly heated and divisive discussion. Described loosely as

‘any art developed in public spaces’, words like illegal, graffiti and tax-burden are countered with talent, expression and, in some cases, value-adding. Whatever one’s personal opinions, there’s no denying that since ancient times, our cities’ walls, bridges and thoroughfares have served as blank canvasses for this form of mostly non-commissioned expression.

In particular, Nicole Blommers, of Stichting Amsterdam Street Art (ASA), wants to bring our city’s walls to your attention. ‘Street art can be anything – a stencil artwork, paste-up, installation or sticker,’ she says. ‘It can be seen as a platform to reach people.’ Formed in 2009 after Blommers and Jarno Gnirrep discovered their mutual love of public art, ASA exists to help expose the wealth of talent around. Last June their first annual Project Amsterdam Street Art took place, while there have also been numerous gallery

openings, a paint jam at Museumplein and an ongo-ing collaboration with the Aalborg Hotel (Sarphatipark 106). ‘They got in contact with us shortly after our Project event last year. Their idea was to host exhibi-tions and also to have our artists redesign the hotel rooms. Naturally, we said yes!’

In this perhaps gentler ‘post-Banksy’ era, Blom-mers is confident in the future of street art: ‘A few weeks ago I had a chat with Stadsdeel Centrum, which went very positively. I think that this is the start of a lot of good things for street art in Amster-dam.’ In particular, Blommers names Dutch artist Roy Schreuder, Bustart and Bristol painter Ian Phenna as just some to look out for. But due to the very nature of public art, you just never know what you’ll find out there. ‘My three favourite spots in town are Spui-straat, Prinsengracht and NDSM. But if you wander around the city, you can always find some free art for yourself. It’s everywhere, just keep your eyes open.’

Roy P. Bradley opens at the Aalborg Hotel’s 25th Hour Lounge on 25 March, 17.00

Trained as an architect, I’ve started up my own design studio after working at NL Architects for six years.

Besides a fascination for construction, structures, patterns, geometry, space, mass, voids and logic, I’m interested in the emotional significance of objects or even just volumes, their symbolism as archetype, animals, their scale, their story, twisting the perception, feeling child-like, and creating social interaction through those objects.
