▓████▓▌ ADULT. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Seven Points ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ADULT. is Nicola Kuperus, Adam Lee Miller and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Samuel Consiglio. They have been less in the past, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ they may be more in the future. This is now. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ADULT. is releasing a new record on Thrill Jockey, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ October 11th, 2005. ItÆs called ôGimmie Troubleö. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ADULT. is introducing a third member with the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ release of ôGimmie Troubleö. Initially recruited as ▓▌
▓████▓▌ an extra set of hands, Nicola and Adam realized ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that Samuel was their equal in the world of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ uncomfortable and drafted him in as a third brain. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ADULT. is world-renowned for their live ▓▌
▓████▓▌ performances and they took it up a notch by ▓▌
▓████▓▌ revealing themselves as the new three piece during ▓▌
▓████▓▌ their recent ôD.U.M.E.ö tour. The new three point ▓▌
▓████▓▌ dynamic is a totally visceral live experience ▓▌
▓████▓▌ designed to leave the audience and the band winded ▓▌
▓████▓▌ every night. Witnesses to their recent American and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ European mini-tour, that took them from L.A. to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Moscow and several points between, can attest to ▓▌
▓████▓▌ that. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ADULT. is three people with a lot going on. While ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Kuperus and Miller run the seminal Ersatz Audio ▓▌
▓████▓▌ label, show their paintings and photography and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ restore historic homes in Detroit, Consiglio ▓▌
▓████▓▌ participates in several other music and performance ▓▌
▓████▓▌ projects such as the art-cum-theater collective ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Perfect Wieners and Butts and Ersatz AudioÆs own ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Tamion 12 Inch. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ADULT. is the proud parent of a vast back ▓▌
▓████▓▌ catalogue. As a duo, ADULT. have released two full ▓▌
▓████▓▌ length L.P.Æs on their own Ersatz Audio label. One ▓▌
▓████▓▌ E.P. for Thrill Jockey and a ôtoo many to countö ▓▌
▓████▓▌ amount of E.P.Æs and singles for a wide range of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ labels. Not to mention what seems like hundreds of ▓▌
▓████▓▌ remixes (but is more like twenty-two or something) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and, back to the here and now as a trio, a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ forthcoming split seven inch with Numbers for Kill ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Rock Stars. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ADULT. is describing ôGimmie Troubleö as the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ definitive sound of the new urban hunting range. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Camping with screaming crickets and swimming with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ electric zapper fish. Riding an empty city bus from ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the Interzone to the exurbs or jumping in your Ford ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and getting the hell outta Dodge. ItÆs like a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ junkyard, a graveyard, a deviant late night hangout ▓▌
▓████▓▌ and a deviant early morning at a law firm. ItÆs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ gripping like your fist around a long neck and ▓▌
▓████▓▌ relieving like your first pull from it. ItÆs ▓▌
▓████▓▌ straight outta Michigan. ▓▌

▓████▓▌ The information supplied here is mostly intended ▓▌
▓████▓▌ for journalists. These are questions we are asked ▓▌
▓████▓▌ over and over, and would rather not answer verbally ▓▌
▓████▓▌ anymore. We decided to make it available to all ▓▌
▓████▓▌ because we figured that non-journalists might be ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interested just the same. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Who is ADULT.? ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nicola Kuperus, vocals, lyrics & instruments. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Adam Lee Miller, instruments & lyrics. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Samuel Consiglio, instruments & lyrics. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ They all live in Detroit. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Why the name ADULT.? ▓▌
▓████▓▌ It was a reaction to the way MTV culture makes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ anything young "cool" - so we thought ADULT. would ▓▌
▓████▓▌ be the most un-cool name we could think of, because ▓▌
▓████▓▌ it was the opposite of YOUTH. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Why the period (full stop) at the end of ADULT.? ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Let us first say that the (.) is silent when ▓▌
▓████▓▌ spoken. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Andy Warhol once said, "If you want to know all ▓▌
▓████▓▌ about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my ▓▌
▓████▓▌ paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ nothing behind it." Another artist, Frank Stella, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ said about his paintings in the sixties "What you ▓▌
▓████▓▌ see is what you get."We somehow feel that the (.) ▓▌
▓████▓▌ at the end of ADULT. encompasses this idea. It ▓▌
▓████▓▌ somehow says ADULT. "What you see is what you get." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 3 people from Detroit trying hard to make ▓▌
▓████▓▌ interesting music. Everything about ADULT. is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ created by us, our songs, our artwork, our live ▓▌
▓████▓▌ shows, etc. There is no big corporate machine ▓▌
▓████▓▌ behind us telling us what to do. Mike Watt from The ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Minutemen said it best, "I just hope that maybe ▓▌
▓████▓▌ some people will read about us and see how we ▓▌
▓████▓▌ weren't manufactured, that we were just three dudes ▓▌
▓████▓▌ from Pedro and that maybe they could do the same ▓▌
▓████▓▌ thing themselves." ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ When and why did you start working together? ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nicola and Adam started writing music together in ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1997. They wanted to start a band that people would ▓▌
▓████▓▌ have extreme reactions to, like of either love or ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hate. They felt that techno, house, etc. had become ▓▌
▓████▓▌ mainstream. Every TV commercial and even the BBC ▓▌
▓████▓▌ news used electronica. And they felt that most ▓▌
▓████▓▌ indie rock was based either too much in hard rock ▓▌
▓████▓▌ or folk at that time for our tastes. The duo wanted ▓▌
▓████▓▌ to make something with passion that made people ▓▌
▓████▓▌ listen because it was different, even if they ▓▌
▓████▓▌ didn't like it. Samuel joined the band in mid 2005. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Nicola and Adam were about to tour for the D.U.M.E. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ep and needed a third set of hands to preform the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ new songs live. Once the 3 started working ▓▌
▓████▓▌ together, an energy developed and the trio quickly ▓▌
▓████▓▌ started writing new material together. This ▓▌
▓████▓▌ material ended up as most of the 2005 album "Gimmie ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Trouble" thus cementing the band as a three. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ What about Detroit? ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Most people think of it as some amazing Mecca, then ▓▌
▓████▓▌ of course they come here and they are totally ▓▌
▓████▓▌ amazed that is nothing like they imagined it. We ▓▌
▓████▓▌ love DETROIT, but it isn't for everyone. It is ▓▌
▓████▓▌ rough with very few conveniences. It's certainly a ▓▌
▓████▓▌ love/hate relationship living here at times, but ▓▌
▓████▓▌ this is where we feel comfortable. We can live ▓▌
▓████▓▌ cheap, which allows us to not make any sacrifices ▓▌
▓████▓▌ in our "art". The decisions we make are not money ▓▌
▓████▓▌ driven. We think this makes it easier to focus on ▓▌
▓████▓▌ what's important, instead of being constantly side ▓▌
▓████▓▌ tracked. Detroit is like a small town in many ways, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ but a small town with a vibrant music scene. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ Grammatical Tips for the name ADULT. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 1: Even though the period is part of the band's ▓▌
▓████▓▌ name, it is silent when spoken. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 2: ADULT. is always spelled with a period at the ▓▌
▓████▓▌ end, and is generally always in all capital ▓▌
▓████▓▌ letters, even in the middle of a sentence. For ▓▌
▓████▓▌ example: I think the band ADULT. suck. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 3: When ADULT. falls at the end of a sentence, ▓▌
▓████▓▌ there is to be only one period, never two. For ▓▌
▓████▓▌ example: I hate ADULT. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 4: A comma simply follows the period. For example: ▓▌
▓████▓▌ When I listen to ADULT., I get a headache. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 5: When ADULT. is possessive, it should appear with ▓▌
▓████▓▌ the period before the apostrophe. For example: I ▓▌
▓████▓▌ hate ADULT.'s new album. ▓▌
▓████▓▌ ▓▌
▓████▓▌ 6: A 'period' is called a 'full stop' in the UK. ▓▌
