Rock Country Serniotti spoke to Stephen, known as Pichu, Cabezones for us on how it will be on show at the Obras Sanitarias Stadium (now Pepsi Music) of 16 December, within four months of submitted nearly a year. Also we talked about everything that was the pre and post production of Welcome, the new album and DVD of the band.
"has lyrics by doctor," my family several years ago ago, to justify trying to be indecipherable hieroglyphic alphabet English. This does not play much against me, because with the advent of computers and word processors I could solve my problem. was (am) a machine to dump the hard things and not on a whim, for fun or neatly (just do not characterize me for this) but because after ten minutes, when I try to read what I write, the letters in their design were made to be an "A" or "C" or become hieroglyphs Jean-Francois Champollion could decipher.
This karma played against me once more: Sounds the phone, Monday 18:30, was the press officer Cabezones to give me the number I had to report the next day to arrange an interview with one of the guys in the band since December 16 will be playing at Estadio Pepsi Music (ex Obras Sanitarias), after almost a year's absence on the national scene. While trying not to drop me a guitar or at least do not suffer a scratch, able to find a pen from a mountain of CDs and booklets printed tablature Atame.org. I wrote the number they gave me the first white paper I found. The next morning, before entering the jungle of bondis, copied the number on my cell phone and left.
During the course of the afternoon I take care of getting the new CD and DVD Cabezones. I turned to a friend who is a desquerÃa with legs, it has what you need and all original disks ... While searching the record told me that the album has 19 tracks recorded live on February 18, 2006 in College Theater.
The time we had arranged for the interview was 18:00, half an hour before I started to prepare the recorder, check the batteries and check the tape to prevent any unforeseen during the interview, those contingencies that eventually become stories and begin to circulate among colleagues. To my ears have come many legends: important interviews without cassettes, colleagues who have been without batteries at the worst times, just to name a few things ...
dialed the number I had spent the previous day ... Busy ... I hope some five minutes and dial again ... Busy ... Busy Five more minutes ... ... I thought someone else could have hung journalist asking and you spent the time ... I waited 10 minutes, came back to score ... busy ... It was already 18.30 and I was starting to worry ... The clock struck 18.45 and the phone was busy ... I decided to send an SMS to the same person who had passed me the phone, 5 minutes, read the response and confirmed: I was a victim once again of my handwriting. What was initially written to be a "3" appeared on my phone as a "7." So, my writing is not only unreadable, but sometimes becomes mua and other characters.
I dialed the number, this time the right and I managed to:
- Hello, this is Stephen Sisiani, for the interview guys Cabezones.
- You do not have to call at six?
If you said you recorded the wrong number ran the risk of being cut, I opted for the excuse that it does not detail sye s infallible
- Yes, excuse me, I had a little problem and I'm just coming ...
- Aguantame a small piece, then you call them. Ready
after 45 minutes of the unbearable busy tone, the end was to conduct the interview. A wait a few minutes and attended Stephen Serniotti, better known as Cabezones Pichu, guitarist of the band, one of the founding members of the group and producer of several albums. After the greetings and exchange a few words with Pichu, we began the interview with the most obvious first question:
- How to stop preparing the show at the Pepsi Music, on 16 December? - The truth is we're very excited to get to the first show, after this period of downturn. We are expectant, we were preparing a lot, we have been rehearsing for two months, almost every day, long essays. We have focused on versioning most of the songs and all this time we were not touching served a lot of things. Among them hear the songs and rethink a lot of time. We are many songs have really taken a turn and already well stayed, nothing more with more feeling. The truth that we are excited to play again.
- What surprises are prepared for the show on 16 December?
- going to be invited. For us, this show, it's a big surprise, because it is a time of celebration to be back playing after everything that has happened. The five come from playing a lot of time together, at a time could look much farther it all: the return to be back onstage to-day and we achieve it. This really is a reunion with all our public after nearly a year of inactivity. One of the last shows was in the back room where we played Fernando Ruiz Diaz de Catupecu Machu. V to be invited, as we have not said who will be because they are surprises, I can anticipate that is going to be people who have been very close to us now. It is a show that will have much expectations, a lot of faith. We know it will be a lot of people that have never been to see us, it was not regular at the band and is good to captivate the public.
- currently, about to play in Works, to look back and remember the first day of rehearsal of the band in Santa Fe, it's wrong to say: "Look how far we?
- Works is a mythical place and obviously the Argentine rock think at some point in order to achieve it. It was a crazy idea, but it was always the idea and batteries to say: "At some point we will come." We have also worked hard for this, here are reflected many years of work and feel it is the time, many people are accompanying us also feel the same. Definitely going to be a super time and programming all to enjoy it, because it is a great pressure from the first hour and do not want to let all those responsibilities take away the power to enjoy. So now we are like we did a lot and we are trying to enjoy it.
- How was to record Cabezones Welcome at the time of the band?
- The pre-drive lasted a month and a half, how did all this now for Works. I as a producer of the band try to listen from outside, not as a guitarist, but as a listener. From there things emerge and begin to change. Welcome on the DVD are part of what was in production. Leandro Apud, the second guitarist took care of that part of the video, Gustavo Martinez, bassist Cabezones, handled all the graphic and I recording the post-production and DVD.
- What approach taken to select topics of Welcome?
- was a bit to summarize the issues that we could not miss a show Cabezones. Just let it hurt us four or five issues out, we hurt many. But as a matter of quantity and record label, had to stay for the next. But we chose the best pictures I had because, in truth, both the audio of the show were cumbersome and, in fact, was what we look at the material visually. We were very happy, the truth that truly represents what we've done so far, I think today Cabezones is something else and we're going to show 16 in Works. Because there are other feelings that are going to be included, which always were, just that sometimes are not exploited. At this point we feel that we want to exploit every situation to full, the high point and the quiet times too, because they also make the show and we fully identified.
- For many groups to take it live album as the closing of an era. Is this the case Cabezones?
- I think if unwittingly was because, obviously, after what happened to us all, the band is not the same. We meet on January 6, and then said: "We will burn a DVD on 18 February." Means we could not believe it, kamikaze some of us but with lots of egg. Today, thanks to this situation could be very present in the media, television, radio, despite not having been playing. And no doubt, next year, when we start the new album, will also be big changes because, obviously, the energy is not the same, for better or for worse, is another energy and that will surely be reflected in the hard and well, it's great that, at least, is that energy is captured, live, so powerful, so the bottom ...
So the bottom as surely they will play Dec. 16 in Works (for me still works, not Pepsi Music). Gone 12 years since the 1994 when it was formed in Santa Fe ... and on Saturday will surely fill Works, a show that promises many a show with all the letters, like all Cabezones.
