6 for '06: #3. Morning After Girls

Morning After Girls

It's 2006 so naturally it's six questions for six of the bands most likely to in '06. Simple. Or at least we thought it was simple. Crud offers furtive, casual sex and the sweetest of pills for the Morning After Girls. Down the hatch..

27/02/2006

Living in the UK as we do we remain always fascinated by the intense longing and credible sense of setting brought over to our shores by bands like The Morning After Girls. We can drone over here, and shoegaze – oh, we can definitely shoegaze – but we just don’t have the qualities inherent in our disposition to create anything quite like this dusky expansive looping heatstroke paranoia double-vision creaking psychedelia. We certainly don’t have the geography for the metaphors. But over there, in the USA specifically, there are bands in abundance, like The Dandy Warhols, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Warlocks, Brian Jonestown Massacre, the daddies of them all The Velvet Underground, and now The Morning After Girls. Only TMAG are from Australia, but that still works. They’ve got desert, an excess of space and perpetual burning solar rays. There’s only one girl in their ranks, but that’s just a detail. They tour the UK in February and March. Their debut single ‘Hi-Skies’ sees light of day – of which we imagine they don’t very often – on March 13. We suggest you get out the night before to see whether they live up to their promise.

1. Who are you? Where do you come from? Why are you here?

We are the Morning After Girls. We come from a place where every single thought feeling and emotion you’ve ever experienced, is played out and presented in a way you’ve never seen before. We are here because there is no other way of articulating and expressing the fact that we didn’t choose to be here but must spend our days trying to conjure a semblance of understanding ourselves and the people around us.

2. Who set the watermark for you in 2005? Who’s the one to beat?

There is no one to beat because this is not a competition. We don’t engage in any races or competitions of any nature, time will keep us moving, we can’t change that. What we can change though is people’s attitudes towards their perspective on their existence. In 2005, our faith in music was restored by Mainline, Dead Meadow, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Warlocks, Sky Parade, and many more. Watermarks, standards, etc, are mere illusions that only serve as distractions, thus we don’t subscribe to them.

3. Name one way you see the world changing in 2006.

Human beings of the affluent western-world will finally realize that they spend so much time caught up in their various forms of pseudo-communication, that nobody’s doing anything to actually attempt anything remotely resembling meaningful communication as a means to a deeper connection with each other. Such a shame.

4. Have you made a new year’s resolution?

If I have problem, I try to resolve it, but as the problems I’m seeking to resolve are the same ones I’ve been applying myself to all my life, they have nothing to do with the start of a new year. So…

5. We’re going to still give a damn about you in January 2007 because…

We will be one of the few bands who actually give a damn about trying to give people an alternative to the spoon that is charged down their throats by corporate-greed, on a daily basis. When everyone has come and gone, we’ll still be there with you, and you will be glad you joined us.

6. Name your tip for ’06.

There is man in Australia who is currently developing his wonderfully beautiful concept titled ‘Silvertone’. His name is Chris Peak, and when he’s finished, you’ll wish it had of come sooner.
