G'day
Due to a *huge* clusterf*ck at the ever wonderful Brum Uni all my
mail has been scrambled!! If anybody tried to mail me over the past three
weeks please try again!
Anyway, to business :)
I have FINALLY located the address of a didgeridoo importer. I know quite
a few people didn't like this thread, so I have also included some stuff
from an interview with Sven Vath that appeared in the Independent (a UK
newspaper). Apologies if this has already been posted, but as I said - my
mail was scrambled.
"Didgeridoos
Authentic Aboriginal Australian
from #29.95 to #159
Aboriginalia UK
3 Cotswold Court
Broadway
Worcestershire
WR12 7AA
tel 0386 853770"
the ad was in the Sunday Times (another UK paper) last weekend and
the weekend before. They do mail order or you can visit the shop.
Sven Vath (excerpts from a recent interview in the Independent)
Six years ago SV was the frontman in "Off" a German electro pop band
and had a hit with a track called Electro Salsa. They also released 2
albums (no names given).
He quite often plays 10 -15 hour sets (but then you knew that anyway)
The interviewer (Alix Sharkey) saw him at Final Frontier
Sven's views on drugs (interesting): "I feel so angry about it because
some kids, when they know Sven's coming they take even more drugs,
because they know they can trust me, they know I'll take them on a
spiritual journey......They don't even get the right stuff.
Somewhere out there are these ugly bastards sitting round in luxury,
making more money out of the whole music movement than all the DJs
and artists put together. And they sell shit like horse
tranquilisers."
SV is planning a tour with a Catalan art group/ circus called La Fura dels
Baus (something like Archaos from the sound of them), whose acts involve
chainsaws and flame throwers (heheheh). He is "tired of all that rave shit.
It's always the same: a sound system a few video screens and the DJ line up"
His tour with La Fura is to give people something different, so full of
energy that they won't need drugs
Interview by Alix Sharkey, comments in brackets by me.
stay frosty,
