VIKING MOSES (USA) Live @ Brew Art
Non ci sono molte parole per descrivere la possibilità di ospitare come prossima band i VIKING MOSES (USA), nota nello scenario rock&blues, soul e folk americano, resi maggiormente noti grazie all'inserimento di uno dei loro brani nella compilation di musica folk contemporanea 'The Golden Apples of the Sun', concepita dall'artista di fama internazionale DEVENDRA BANHART e definita successivamente la raccolta degli artisti che rappresenta il 'New Weird America movement'.
Ancor più di spicco la produzione da parte del celebre ALAN McGEE, fondatore della famosa etichetta discografica CREATION RECORDS, con artisti come OASIS, MOGWAI, PRIMAL SCREAM, THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, THE CRAMPS, MY BLOODY VALENTINE e A CERTAIN RATIO, e la più recente POPTONES (Etichetta dei Viking Moses) con band di spicco i THE HIVES.
L'uomo dietro il Vichingo è il frontman Brendon Massei, costantemente e instancabilmente in tour dal 1993!
Queste alcune review di particolare rilievo:
MTV wrote:
“If the DIY (Do It Yourself) house show circuit has a pied piper, his name is Brendon Massei. Massei, who plays music under the name Viking Moses, has been recording and touring independently as a full-time job since he was 14, and he’s spent more than half of his life paving trails for other musicians to follow. Artists that Massei took on their first tours include: Deer Tick, Scout Niblett and Nat Baldwyn of the Dirty Projectors.”
ALAN McGEE wrote in The Guardian UK:
“Viking Moses is ‘The Most Uniquely talented musician since Kurt Cobain… an absolute genius, and one of the best musicians I have ever released.”
From TONY WILSON's (Manager e produttore dei JOY DIVISION, HAPPY MONDAYS, NEW ORDER, A CERTAIN RATIO e THE DURUTTI COLUMN) blog:
“Viking Moses is one of those people you can’t help but liking, because he’s so DIY and down to earth even though he’s got a tremendous talent.”
Nel 2013 la UK Production Company Pulse Films realizza 'Werewolves Across America', un documentario della vita di BRENDON MASSEI e del musicista in tour VIKING MOSES.
Viking Moses's album JAHILIYAH (an Arabic word meaning, "the age of ignorance") is a deeply contemplative work. The narrative, mythical at times, employs cinematic desolation as motif and follows a character that, harnessing his instinct, challenges his upbringing. We watch his struggle to influence by ideal, his abandonment of community, and his submission to a great unknowable beyond. As he traverses this beyond, we share in his fearful obstacles, courageous discoveries, and inspirational boons.
Massei on Jahiliyah:
"These are songs of abandonment: the parent of her child, the child of his home, the visionary of his cause, the worker of his labor, the lovers of their infatuation, the god of its faithful, the contemplator of her self... They leave everything and walk vulnerably into the storm, get face down in the dirt, sacrifice affection and sustenance, utterly lost and without hope of any kind to know their self within and their place without. They are propelled by internal void and without reason. Who among them shall hold fast in following their heart, and at what cost? And to what avail? I deliberately blur lines of time and place in Jahiliayh. These are eternal concepts without beginning or end -- How we delight to spin in these circles of unknowing!"
