LES Dirty Pretty Things COMMENCENT A TRAVAILLER SUR LEUR NOUVEL ALBUM =D

En parlant en backstage mardi 27/02 après We Are Scientists, le guitariste Anthony Rossomando a indiqué que le groupe ont écrit autour 15 chansons, dont la moitié sera probablement sur l'album.

Mais il dit qu'i ls ne veulent pas que le prochain album soit un deuxième album typique de « Waterloo to Anywhere' » .

"Nous ne sommes pas intéressés à faire un deuxième album individu-indulgent archétypal.
Chaque groupe sent la pression pour leur deuxième album car s'est censé être une altitude du premier, mais nous avons vu que beaucoup de deuxièmes albums qui sont sortis l' année dernière, la plupart d'entre eux ne sont pas vraiment au sujet de n'importe quoi, ils sont juste là en train d'essayervraiment d'écire très dur pour faire des hits.
Nous voudrions pouvoir faire comme Nirvana : écrire les chansons qui étaient populaires mais d'avoir également l'intégrités.
Ainsi nous essayons de faire cela je pense.
Tout se produit naturellement, les gens verront par eux même si se n'est pas juste une connerie. Nous ne sommes pas concernés étant massifs nous voulons juste être intégraux.
Et Rossomando dit qu'il se sent seulement maintenant comme un membre approprié du groupe.

« Je me sens réellement pour la première fois depuis le dernier show que c'est ma bande autant que Carl. Il est vraiment foutu à ce sujet. C'est ce qui étaient The Libertines au sujet, dans le commencement de de toute façon, il étaient à ce sujet rebondissant outre de l'un l'autre et de la collaboration."
Il admet qu'étant américain apporte une certaine saveur au groupe.

"Je note que j'emploie des expressions que je n'aurais jamais employées avant, il y a vrai continuer massif culturel. Carl n'est pas dans le même genre, j'ai grandi et j'ai dû le tourner sur des choses comme la télé, la radios ; il aime les Pixies maintenant.
Il commence à venir autour à beaucoup de choses. J'apprends un peu de la chanter-chanson traditionnelle qu'il a au sujet de son écriture qui est vraiment classique et leur fait vraiment. Il est très Brit-central."

L'album doit être enregistré cet été et est programmé pour septembre.

si vous êtes plus fort pour lA traduction ^^

Dirty Pretty Things have started work on their new album, NME.COM can reveal

Speaking backstage on Tuesday (February 27) after We Are Scientists' NME Shockwaves performance at London's Astoria, guitarist Anthony Rossomando revealed the band have written around 15 songs, half of which will likely make it onto the album.

But he says they don't want the follow-up to 'Waterloo to Anywhere' to be a typical second album.

"We're not interested in making some archetypal self-indulgent second album. Every band feels pressure for their second album because it's supposed to be an elevation from the first one, but we've seen a lot of second albums come out over the past year and most of them aren't really about anything, they're just about trying really hard to write hits. We'd like to be able to do what Nirvana did which was to write songs that were popular but also have integrity. So we're trying to do that I guess. Everything's got to happen naturally, if it doesn't it's just bullshit and people will see through it. We're not concerned with being massive we just want to be integral."

And Rossomando says he only now feels like a proper member of Dirty Pretty Things.

"I actually feel for the first time since the last tour that it's my band just as much as Carl's. He's really fucking cool about that. That's what The Libertines were about, in the beginning anyway, it was about that bouncing off each other and collaborating."

He admits being American brings a certain flavour to the band.

"I notice I'm using phrases I never would have used before, there's a real cultural massive going on. Carl's not into a lot of the stuff I grew up on and I've had to turn him onto things like TV On The Radio and he likes the Pixies now. He's starting to come around to a lot of that stuff and I'm learning some of the traditional sing-song pub sailor vibes that he has about his writing which is really classic and makes them really stand out. He's very Brit-centric.

The album is due to be recorded this summer with a release tentatively scheduled for September

Interview de Gary Powell 12/06

Gary Powell is the powerhouse behind The Dirty Pretty Things; the band that formed in September 2005 after The Libertines went their separate ways. Gary together with original Libertines member Carl Barât and Anthony Rossomondo and ex- Cooper Temple Clause bassist Didz Hammond make up the explosive band.

Their debut album Waterloo to Anywhere was recorded in both LA with producer Dave Sardy and Glasgow with Tony Doogan; released on 8th May 2006 it reached #3 in the music charts and received critical acclaim.

2006 has been an incredible year for the band as they have toured extensively including the big summer festivals Isle of Wight Festival, Wireless Festival, T in the Park, Reading and Leeds, and Oxygen.

Currently finishing off their UK tour we caught up with Gary at Brixton Academy where they are performing 2 sold-out gigs.

Hi Gary, good to see you again – the last time I saw you was at the BBC Radio 1 Road show in Dundee. Things have been a bit crazy for you during 2006 – tell us about it?
Hey hey!!! This year has been full of highs and highs as far as performance goes. We have had the ability to perform in new territories for us, such as Taiwan and return to old haunts like Japan where we have been well received – something none of us expected.

2006 has been a year of touring for Dirty Pretty Things. How do you cope with life on the road?
Consistency is the thing that got us through this years touring schedule. Our approach to touring this year has allowed us to perform on a consistent level pretty much throughout the year without too many major hic-ups. Making sure that we get a good night' sleep is also of great importance – but not necessarily an achievable goal. My practise pad has also been of valuable service to me, allowing me to work on my chops, technique and rudiments.

What has the highlight of 2006 been for you?
There have been many highlights this year all varied in there reasoning, playing large festivals such as Reading and Leeds were great because of the response that we all got, smaller shows such as the cockpit in Leeds, because of the passionate response we got from the fans, hanging out with some of the kids after shows has been a blast as well. In short, it hasn't just been about playing.

Has your drumming changed from The Libertines?
My drumming style has changed somewhat overtime, I pay a lot more attention to things such as interpretation and articulation and I believe that my approach is a lot more dynamic and musical now than it was back in the days of the Libertines.

You are playing the new Oak Custom kit, what made you decide to use Oak?
Well, I saw a Akira Jimbo perform on the Musashi oak custom kit a few years ago and then I investigated the spec and sound of the kit. Akira is one of my favourite drummers as his style of approach is everything that I want to improve as an individual performer plus the warmth and sound of the kit is second to none – hence giving us a stylistic and dynamic approach that hopefully will enhance the music.

Having ended up in the position that you are, what advice can you give to those trying to get where you have got?
It isn't good enough to just practise in the seclusion of your own home or studio real performance is needed to hone your skills as a performer. Listening to many different forms of music, from rock to jazz, funk to classical has also enhanced my ability to take more of a musical approach to playing within the confines of a band, whilst still lending of myself by adding subtle nuances that may not be deemed as being specifically orientated with the music we perform.

Who inspires your drumming?
I try to gain as much inspiration from as many drummers as I can. If you play drums then I'll more than likely see you doing something that may be of value to me – no matter what level of achievement you are at.

So what is next for you?
To be honest I have no idea!!!!!!! I want to get back into doing clinics, the education behind playing is of vast importance and should not be taken for granted, I also have some ideas regarding my approach to them. I've also got a lot of writing to do, for the band and for my own personal use. This coupled with a lot of practising should keep me busy for the rest of the year!!!!!

How do you go about recording a new album?
There is no tried and tested methodology behind recoding for us (well at least I hope there aint anyway!) I generally go with the flow and work pretty well under instruction as well as adding to the pot of ideas as well. My approach I guess is skeletal based with respect to my own parts, I will add embellishments to the particular song with more familiarity pending on the songs intent emotion and dynamic... Other than that? Your guess is as good as mine!!!!
