Fuck Rock Lets Art: March 2011

http://fuck-rock-lets-art.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, 17 March 2011. The Art Brut song St Pauli. Which you can hear HERE. Has a chorus that sounds a bit like a Football Chant. Punk Rock Ist Nicht Tot'. The first time Art Brut came to Germany those were the only German words I knew. I had learnt them from a Billy Childish record. I think it was our first long tour and I wasn't used to touring yet. I was having a great time, but I felt a bit detached and lonely and was going for long walks everyday by myself. Punk Rock Ist Nicht Tot! I've recently n...

Fuck Rock Lets Art: October 2008

http://fuck-rock-lets-art.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 14 October 2008. Modern Art was Art Brut's second single, our first on Fierce Panda. Modern Art is a song about getting so excited about Art you want to run around in Art Galleries shouting about how amazing everything is. It is also a song about Paris. I know its a bit of a cliche but I fell in love with Paris immediately and visited all the tourist attractions. When I got back to England I was unbearable.I could steer any topic of conversation towards how amazing Paris was and about how I ...

Fuck Rock Lets Art: SKIN FLICK / CHARITY SHOP BY FUTURE AND THE BOY.

http://fuck-rock-lets-art.blogspot.com/2010/03/skin-flick-charity-shop-by-future-and.html

Friday, 12 March 2010. SKIN FLICK / CHARITY SHOP BY FUTURE AND THE BOY. Future And The Boy was a sort-of-electro band I started with my friend Nicky Biscuit who also played in a band called the Art Goblins. With me and who is now in a band called The Owls Are Not What They Seem. For a long time we were one of those pretend bands that doesn't play live, rehearses occasionally and talks about itself all of the time. Are you afraid of the art? ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE ART? THAT IS NOT MUSIC". Anyway after the ...

Fuck Rock Lets Art: FORMED A BAND

http://fuck-rock-lets-art.blogspot.com/2008/10/formed-band.html

Monday, 6 October 2008. Formed a band" was Art Brut's first single released on Rough Trade about four years ago. This painting was the front cover of Art Brut's first single. I love demo tapes of bands.I used to find them in charity shops when I was growing up in Poole.I'd always buy them and take them home to listen too. Although I admit I'm probably projecting quite a lot of romantisicism onto the Demo tapes of unsuccessful bands from the Poole area of Dorset. I made my formed a band painting before Ar...

Fuck Rock Lets Art: April 2010

http://fuck-rock-lets-art.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Monday, 12 April 2010. Is a song from Art Brut VS Satan. I still find it hard to believe I only discovered The Replacements in the last couple of years. It's even harder to believe when you consider that Art Brut did a month long tour with The Hold Steady and the Replacements didn't come up in conversation once. I found out about the Replacements by reading a review of one of their reissues online and clicking on a link to youtube for Talent Show. I wasn't disappointed. Every record I bought was bril...

Fuck Rock Lets Art: MOVED TO LA

http://fuck-rock-lets-art.blogspot.com/2008/10/moved-to-la.html

Monday, 6 October 2008. Moved to LA is a new Art Brut song that will probably be on our next Album. On Art Brut's first album we have a song called "Considering A Move To LA" I wrote the words to that song when I was working in a pub on a cold rainy day and was trying to imagine the best possible place I could be. My girlfriend lives in LA so I'm there quite a lot now.I do pretty much live there although when I started writing "Moved To LA" I didn't realise I was writing it about Los Angeles. Its hard to...

Fuck Rock Lets Art: IGNORANCE IS BLISS

http://fuck-rock-lets-art.blogspot.com/2008/10/ignorance-is-bliss.html

Monday, 6 October 2008. Ignorance Is Bliss" is an Art Brut song.It was the B-side to our single Direct Hit. I had to write the words and record the vocal at the very last minute so ended up doing both in the back of a van, in the underground car park of the Birmingham Academy. We were on tour with Maximo Park.They were selling T-Shirts with "Ignorance Isn't Bliss" written on them. I've been selling replica's of this painting for £35 including postage They are in acrylic on a 12cm x 18cm canvas. THE EDDIE...
