Tim from Damn Arms answers a few questions for us about some new releases and their new single "Destination."
1. I understand you have a new EP and LP coming out soon, what can we expect from these? How do these releases compare to The Live Artex?
Yep Yep. We have a string of releasing coming out over the next 6 months. Starting w/ our first single. It's a song called "Destination" which has 2 parts to it. It will be released as a double A-side single by Bang Gang 12" inches in December. I never like to compare releases I do. I guess I always want them to show some sort of progression, thats all. You can expect nothing you've heard from "Damn Arms" before. Hopefully you'll dig.
2. You've supported loads of great bands that have toured Australia, which one was your favourite?
Shit..I guess combining the tours we did with Klaxons, Midnight Juggernauts and Cut Copy together would do it. It's hard to separate those 3 tours. They were all pretty much back to back tours and we couldn't of been luckier really! So many great shows and pretty much the nicest guys to tour with ever.
3. Cutters have a very distinct electro-indie "Nu-Rave" sound and image, do you like this image? Do you think it is healthy for one record label to have one particular image/sound?
I find it much easier to use the term.. "dance music". Instead of all the sub genres that don't make much sense to me. Cutters obviously have a healthy taste in music.. and I doubt they even think about the image they're giving off to the general public. The most successful record labels have a very diverse roster.. Domino, 679, Sub Pop.. etc. but have a strong general image for basically being kick ass labels.
4. Which one of you plays the flute? What inspired you to include it in your new track, Destination? Will we be hearing more of it in other tracks?
It was neither of us. It was a beauitful kentauride that we found in the forest one day. She said she will return to put down some smooth flute for us in the future. We await her return.
5. If you died and went to music heaven, what music would be playing? Which band members (if any, but cmon) would God reject?
ha... Music playing for me would be Morrissey's album, "Vauxhall & I". Pure genius. Hopefully we'll both be fine at the pearly gates.
