TSIGOTI III album OUT NOW!!!

Tsigoti
The Imagination Liberation Front Thinks Again
release date 8/28/2012

get it at Post Consumer records

With their third transatlantic bouillabaisse of anarcho-virtuosi avant-punk stylings, Tsigoti continue to intone their unabashed frustrations with the shortcomings of our human experiment with war. The Imagination Liberation Front Thinks Again (ILF), our new slab from this quartet of overly experienced anti-specialists, merges the angst of punk, the absurdity of Dada and the soapbox political shoutings of the world’s finest provocateurs.

ILF shifts like the surface of an ocean. It’s moody, cinematic and forceful. The lyrics are borne from genuine frustration and dissatisfaction with the atrocities of war, violence, injustice, genocide, superiority, prejudice, arrogance, oppression, pollution and freeways. There’s a Dadaesque boiling-over to the words, which only supply yet more integrity to the madcap ravings of the guitar, bass and drums. At times, Thollem provides an exemplary bent circus piano, even throwing in some ragtime, but as if Scott Joplin swapped hormones with Iggy Pop.  Each musician grows in and out of each other, in a quantumly and musically entangled force field.
But this is not inaccessible music, which makes Tsigoti even more important. Their whimsical, spasmodic punkestrations exhibit a deep precision, like a finely-oiled Jean Tinguely sculpture. You just hit the power switch and watch the whole thing unfold. That is how to experience the world of Tsigoti.

TSIGOTI autumn tour

Tsigoti is back for a blitzkrieg short italian tour. They will use this opportunity to sell the very last copies of their 2nd and 3rd albums (the first is already sold out) and to compose and record the material for their 4th album.

“Esuberante e indomito, mai banale, il disco mostra dei musicisti in stato di grazia, capaci anche di abbandonarsi all’improvvisazione pura e semplice se necessario.“
- OndaRock

"Both musically and lyrically, no punches are pulled. The group appear to take lyrical inspiration from the likes of Crass and the Ex, but updated for a new era. Tsigoti will win you over, and you’ll be hitting play again and again. this is a band with something to say and the means for saying it like nobody else could even conceptualize".
- Foxy Digitalis

"If Primus & Gogol Bordello spent a weekend listening to Jello Biafra & Noam Chomsky."
- YouTube

“Rocambolesca e intellettuale, la musica degli Tsigoti fa del suo polimorfismo medium e messaggio. Contro ogni guerra. Che è, comunque la si voglia mettere, pur sempre terrorrismo.”

- Rock-it

"The music itself is mostly fast-paced, off-beat, punk rock that perfectly complements the anti-war themes of the songs. This is in a league with Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine".
- KFJC Radio

"Tsigoti is an exercise in political debauchery and a forward vocal delivery of self-restraint from Thollem Mcdonas that comes a-swingin’ right out of the gate. Behind this lies the wirey, convulsive guitars of mastermind Jacopo Andreini that become the driving force of this quasi-punk anthem, while the rhythm section spends time deconstructing things down into No-Wave-esque breakdowns and pummeling, fluid drumming".
- Tiny Mix Tapes

“When we compare the fusion of these sensations to a sort of feverish pagan ritual and listen to this set with the same attitude of, say, looking at a shaman dressed like a young Joe Strummer, the honesty of intentions begins to clash (pun definitely intended) with our previous ideas pretty hard. Bizarrely frank stuff.”
- Touching extremes

Waristerror Terroriswar (Now TSIGOTI) is a collaborative and improvisational quazi-punk band dedicated to expressing their opposition for war, authoritarian regimes, and violent religious extremes. It's a band made up of members from two different continents with a tremendous amount of experience in a wide variety of musical situations. Their first album transpired the year after the 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel though it is not about that war specifically but war in general. Some songs were written in a few hours, and without teaching them to each other they recorded the first album "TheBrutalRealityOfModernBrutality" in 3 days. They met again one year later to record a second album "PrivatePovertySpeaksToThePeopleOfTheParty", play their first shows to wildly enthusiastic audiences, and reconfirm their collective skeptical optimism.
TSIGOTI (meaning 'I see' in Cherokee language) is the next step. Same people, same instruments, same improvisational spirit, now with more involvement and time to craft songs. This time war is seen from the inside, from people who suffer being attacked, trapped, imprisoned, terrorized and tricked. The music has become more complex, with guest musicians from our Valdisieve family (Edoardo Ricci, Samuele Venturin, Francesco di Mauro, and a choir of a dozen of friends). A multi-layered approach to the sound, exploiting new recording techniques and equipment, brings Tsigoti sound to your ears exploding in all its controversial spikes. The artwork is signed by master cartoonist Squaz and the album was released in december 2009 by ESP-Disk, distributed worldwide.

Dopo tre tournée europee, apparizioni lampo ai quattro angoli d'Italia, la partecipazione all'ultima edizione del TagoFest e infine l'uscita dell'album omonimo, Squarcicatrici parte all'attacco della penisola.

Inoltre contiene un saggio del sociologo brasiliano Chico Caminati dal titolo "Preto são todas as cores, branco é ausência de cor!" scritto appositamente per questo progetto, e può essere letto in anteprima su http://cteme.sarava.org/Main/EX-pretobranco

Afro punk, jazz emigrante, bossa storta.

Ensemble aux timbres et dinamiques extremes, capable de fin retouches au pinceau comme de graver avec la fureur d'un marteau-piqueur, se presente en concert avec une nouvelle formation enrichie par une violoncelle et une paire de basses, en creusant dans les entrelacements armolodiques pour en faire jaillir l'intensité la plus profonde.
Le premier album "Bossa Storta" sorti en 2006 publié par le label culte Saravah et distribué en France, Japon, Italie, Bresil, Allemagne, Suisse, Belgique et Hollande. Maint guests, aprmi lesquels Chiara Locardi (L'Enfance Rouge), Enrico Amendolia (Malfunk), Stefano Bartolini (Banda Improvvisa), Alicia Wade (Orlock) pour onze morceaux et une reprise de Luigi Tenco.

Afro punk, jazz émigrant, bossa tordue.

Po prvi evropski turneji pred dvema letoma, ko so Squarcicatrici predstavljali predvsem album Bossa storta (Saravah, 2006) s skladbami avtorjev kot so Jacques Higelin, Brigitte Fontaine, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Steve Lacy, Squarcicatrici (v prostem prevodu “Razparači”) nadaljujejo z raziskavami godb sveta in izumljanjem afropunka. Ansambel skrajne dinamike je zaplaval še v harmolodične teksture v postavi:

Drugi album je objavila založba Wallace records, na plošči pa gostujejo še Enrico Antonello (Pangolinorchestra), Erwan Naour (Les Hurlements d’Leo), Thollem McDonas, Samuele Venturin (Motociclica Tellacci), remiks pa je delo Bosancev Vuneny. Vsebuje še besedilo brazilskega sociologa Chica Caminatija z naslovom “Preto são todas as cores, branco é ausência de cor!”

Ensemble of extreme dinamycs, ready to trace sketches with a paintbrush as to sculpt with the fury of a sledgehammer, on stage the band is now performing with a new lineup with cello and two basses, swimming into armolodic textures to extract the most powerful intensity.

LUBUAKU

(Usa, Italy)

Scott Rosenberg – sopranino & tenor sax, flute
Thollem McDonas – pianoforte, voice
Matteo Bennici – contrabass, voice
Jacopo Andreini – drums, alto sax, voice

This project was born after the numerous meetings between the four musicians in the last 7 years, on the road between Chicago, New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Nipozzano. In their pockets there’s original compositions written by each one of them, ranging from mathemathic jazz sweating minimalism, turbofolk, sicilian saudade, emigrant rock. An unique project for a thousand tastes, once again on tour to present the album recorded after the first italian tour in 2006 and released by Luccicanza rec.

THOLLEM MCDONAS

(Usa)

Thollem Mc Donas - pianoforte

Thollem McDonas is part of that american tradition of incredibly skilled musicians, with a deep knowledge of the music of many countries, always ready to start and travel to bring his music everywhere in the world.
This mindset brought him to play, besides in every State of the USA, also in Mexico, Argentina, Czech Republic, China, France, Italy, Croatia, United Kingdom, Greece, Portugal, and in many other lands.
Funambolist of the 88 keys, able to explore the most secluted gorges of the contemporary classical music as to enlight the audience with jazz or to hollow the deepest meaning of serialism and minimalism making it as intriguing and passionate as world music, each concert he plays it’s a physical, sonic and mental experience, unique and unrepeatable

TSIGOTI

(Usa, Italy)
Thollem McDonas - piano, voice
Jacopo Andreini- guitar
Matteo Bennici - bass, voice
Andrea Caprara - drums
