321 : Django Django Django Django is our new favourite band. We really love them. They recorded their song Storm at Audio Underground in StoNu late last year, before they'd even formed. "Myself and Vinny got together at the weekend with the loose brief of trying to record interesting pop songs," says Dave from the band. "The lyrics are based on a story we came up with about a guy and a girl on a road trip that’s going horribly wrong." After the jump they tell us about honey, Hitler and Black Lace. Django Django - Zummzumm [mp3] Django Django - Storm [mp3] My Tiger My Timing - This Is Not The Fire (Django Django Remix) [mp3] 3 FACTS Dave Maclean: "1. Honey is the only food that does not spoil. Honey found in the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs has been tasted by archaeologists and found edible. "2. In 1386, a pig in France was executed by public hanging for the murder of a child. "3. Hitler was a vegetarian." 2 SONGS DM: "My one would have to be Purple Haze [by Jimi Hendrix]. I found this really bright, exciting looking record cover in amongst my dad’s old albums when I was really young and when I put it on I was blown away by how raw it sounded. I was used to listening to Black Lace tapes on my massive walkman, so it was a real turning point. I also dug out the Beatles, Stones, Pink Floyd and um..... the Humble Bums. I think this may be a familiar introduction to great music for a lot of our generation. Vinny: "I was about 13 or 14 when I heard Radio Babylon by Jack Dangers [AKA Meat Beat Manifesto]. Until that point I'd a pretty traditional outlook on song structure, melodies and instruments, listening to a lot of 60's psychedelic stuff. That song was so exciting and changed a lot of my views. A simplistic two chords change on a massive sounding bass, with cathedral like drums and a 'wooo.. alright' dropped in intermittently. On paper it wouldn't work. But it did, and really emphasised the importance of what a good beat can do for a song. It’s still what I look for in music I love today.
