REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE 'EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN: HALBER MENSCH' w/ Gareth Liddiard
This week I’m joined by Australian musician Gareth Liddiard (Tropical Fuck Storm, The Drones) who chose to discuss one of the greatest concert films of all time, EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN:HALBER MENSCH.
We talk about how Tropical Fuck Storm made their own film (Goody Goody Gumdrops) during the pandemic lockdown, Gareth playing shows with Neubauten, how TFS writes their brain-melting songs and how Neubauten’s influence crept into their work, TFS having to leave Melbourne due to economics, making their music using equipment they didn’t know how to use, how not to be too good at guitar, the influence of Greg Ginn, John Coltrane & Jimi Hendrix, Thrasher magazine, the current difficulties of touring the States, blowing things up in music videos, industrial high-school study music, Neubauten playing inside an actual freeway, how Neubauten are The Beatles of the industrial world in terms of charisma, how the film transcends pretension, Butoh dancers, Tarkovsky’s Stalker, the microphoned shopping cart, Blixa’s take on The Police, how the film is so well scripted and shot by filmmaker Gakuryū Ishii, how the legendary music producer Gareth Jones recorded one of the most expensive industrial records of all time and more.
So let's set our instruments on fire and the music to stun on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
