Handsome Cassanovas | Orange Distortion



Saw these play this week with Mr Van Basten, himself a one man hen party. One perfectly abused guitar (wasn't tuned once \oo/), one drum machine, some anarchy yoga, vodka from a mug and a great show. Highly entertaining pair of misfits, particularly when drunk. Some of the worst tattoos I've ever seen. We used to bump into them on Davie (Rogers on Davie was their local video store..... Rogers on Davie are not uncommon.). Nice to see them in such good form.



I love the sound I love the sound. (Nerd Spasm) : "Well, I have a couple hot-wired guitar pedals that I kinda just tore apart and put back together again, that just destroy the signal of the guitar, and that harsh programming stuff with the microKorg. Forcing ourselves to use those sounds and trying to control them into something musical. One of the things I used on this record is basically a bit reducer, sampling the guitar coming in and then lowering the bit rate, spitting it back out. It makes these weird overtones and controlled feedback. And I gotta say, Boss pedals. Boss pedals are a touring musician's friend. They never break down.And they're cheap. So if you ever lose your Boss orange distortion, you can go to whatever pawn shop and get another."
