[InQ&A] 7 Questions for Amen Dunes

July 24, 2012

Less than two months until Incubate 2012. For the past few months we’ve been announcing new artists every week. But with 200 + artists coming up in September we can imagine you losing your hold. That’s why we compiled the Incubate 2012 Spotify playlistSubscribing to this playlist will get you acquainted with most of the bands. Apart from their music, part of the getting-to-know-them-better-proces will also be us asking some of the artists a few questions in the upcoming months. Here are 7 questions for Damon McMahon, the man behind Amen Dunes

Where are you at the moment? What about last night? Where do you want to be?
I’m sitting at home, last night ate some kebobs, and I could be doing that again right about now.

Which album should’ve had your name on it?
None, actually, since I wouldn’t want the albums I love to be any different then they are.

With whom would you like to collaborate?
Martyn Bates, Douglas P, Genesis P-Orridge

What song is in your head right now?
Eyehategod “Dixie Whiskey” !

Which festival did you last go to just for visiting instead of performing?
I don’t think I’ve been to any proper festivals as a visitor in recent years, but we played the Kraak fest this year and I felt like a visitor since I was as psyched to see the people performing there as I was to perform myself.

Do you have any band-rituals? Seen any weird ones along your way?
We don’t really, but I saw one of the old Amen Dunes drummers drink a pint glass of his piss before a show once for 16 dollars.  Not so much weird as a bad idea.

What do you think to expect from Incubate festival?
Lots of goodness…

Amen Dunes is invited by Sacred Bones and Posh Isolation to play for their residency at Incubate. He is scheduled to play at Sunday, September 16th, 18:15-19:00 in the stageo1.

Mothers for acid + some other acid stuff!

June 18, 2013

Chris Moss has a mother. And that mother approves of acid house. We can’t help but feel that if Chris Moss’ mother would have been prime-minister instead of Margaret Thatcher, that the Acid House movement would have been -for better or for worse- very different.  Here is Chris’ mom, approving of her son playing acid [...]
