ZAVALAZ

Pues así se llamará el nuevo grupo liderado por Cedric, acompañado por Juan Alderete al bajo ( Racer X, Mars Volta), Dan Elkan a la guitarra (Broken Bells, Hella) y Greg Rogove a la batería ( Devendra Banhart, megapuss).
Tienen sus primeras fechas confirmadas en USA, compartiendo cartel con Dot Hacker, la banda liderada por Josh Klinghoffer, que está realmente bien.

Telly?

slo, creia que era un grupo asi con mucho powe tipo lo zigarros...
no suenan mal, pero se come con patatas el disco de los zigarros a este... que lo sepas...

La doble z tiene mucho tempo, tiene mucho down, woman del callao.

So there’s an album in the works? 

Yes. It’s being mixed right now by Noah Gorgeson. Leif Podhajsky —who does most of the Tame Impala stuff —he did a record cover for it, which is great. Otherwise we’re just looking for a home. Hopefully it will be soon, but we still need to work out the kinks when we play live. You don’t know what it’s really like until you play in front of a bunch of people.

How would you describe Zavalaz’s sound?

It’s part of that classic Southern California ballad music for sure. There’s a lot of harmonies and a lot of me sort of paying homage to the music my parents listened to when I was a little kid. There are some obvious Fleetwood Mac influences and some obvious Neil Young influences. I’d like to think, maybe naively and romantically, that I’m not ripping them off. [Laughs.] That’s where I’m at right now.


Are there any other major influences?

I’ve always had a thing for the ballad-y parts of Roky Erickson. There’s a big audience that loved him for his crazy mental imagery and his heavier rock songs, but that guy is a fucking master when it comes to playing ballads; they’re always heartbreaking. There were such brief moments in the chaos of what [Mars Volta] was known for; I just wanted to embrace a lot of that, because it’s probably the most uncool thing I could do with my career. [Laughs.]

Did you entertain the idea of a solo record prior to the breakup?

I always thought that I could never fully realize any sort of solo thing unless I could put my all into it. Plus, I didn’t like doing anything else because I always felt like, for me, it was a conflict of interest; it would have diluted the band if I would have started doing a grip of solo things. I’m old fashioned that way. I think if you’re going to dabble in other stuff, it should be a brief thing, and you should really give a project your focus. It’s like, if I’m in a gang, I want to be known for that gang; I don’t need to be known for any sub-affiliate gangs.

Where are you and Omar at nowadays?

We’re not really on speaking terms. The falling out had been four years in the making, so the final announcement on my part was really just to let the children know that Mom and Dad were splitting up. I think there’s a lot to be identified in Kim and Thurston. [Laughs.]

Eso iba a deciros.

Escucharon a los Zigarros y se han puesto este nombre con dos Z con dos cojones.

Por otra parte, pensaba que el título del topic era "Chavalas" en algún tipo de jerga para que las agentes no se enteren de la copla... jajajajaj

Escuchando el bootleg del otro día en Las Vegas.
Al parecer lleva al teclista de Bright Eyes de gira.

"We’re working with producer Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, MGMT) and our songs are taking shape..."
