Smash the drum-bucket-afro kit and play the guitar.
5 days in the boomy room... with my favorite pet
Sometimes people meet, start jamming and after few days of
threshing the shit out of their instruments, all that remains
is a fancy collection of colorful extravaganza and two smiling
faces. I guess you call that chemistry.
Schnaak is Mathias JΣhnig and Johannes D÷pping. Just them,
yes. A duo, yes. Sorry for that, dear genre-prophets!
They met in February 2008 for the first time to make some
unpretentious noise? Mathias is known as the singer/guitarist
of German Jazzcore-Hipsters THE SEASON STANDARD ? in Schnaak
he plays an old mazy-tuned guitar with a bass-string and beats
the bucket while looping a guitar-sound. Johannes primarily
delivers his amazing skills to the subjazzed Noiserock of
TARENTATEC and OSIS KRULL ? in Schnaak he can mime the
ruthless supertight killergroove-mescalito on the drums. No,
he actually is not a machine.
To have some variety from their main-projects they joined
forces for a week, after 5 days in the ?boomy room? they
crafted 5 amazing songs. Soon they played their first shows
and festivals in Middle-Europe for thrilled and perplex
audiences. Schnaak became notorious for their live-sets very
fast and every time you could hear the same Chinese whisper in
the crowds: "Where is the hidden bass, the second drum-set,
the three additional guitars and synthesizers? Behind the
stage? Holy shit, this is a duo!!!"
It was very obvious that the first Schnaak-EP has to be
recorded live in front of an audience, so they decided to
record two Berlin-shows on tape. So they did? and ?women on
ships are bad luck? is the result. For the first time with
some vocals and sound-manipulations, but still incredibly
rough and direct. No aggressive designed Noisecore, more like
a roly-poly Blissdeer grinning at a rainbow while dancing on
plum butter. Yeah, quite exactly like that? uhm.
Schnaak play unique Experimental Noiserock ? with a weird
blend of funny Jazz-licks, strange African rhythms and an
incredibly tight Hardcore-energy? two-piece-madness somewhere
between Hella, Captain Beefheart, Battles and Sun Ra.
For the present Schnaak is the ultimate* stage of
Noiseduo-development. Any challengers?
