Nude Interview
Drum and Bass |
Wednesday 14th December 2011 | Annalisa
NUDE is a different band; Drum'n Bass smashers, Electro, Bigbeat, Breakbeat,etc... how can you describe yourself and tell us about your career based in Germany?
We think of ourselves as a band with many musical influences, thru these, we deliver a blend of styles which can overpower people like in a guerilla move - its a "How To Guide" into our minds and music - BASIC GUERILLA MOVES !
Our live shows take place mainly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland simply because we have a hardcore fanbase out here, but the web gives us all the chance to spread our music to a much bigger audience.
Eventually one thing evolved into another and we've been touring the world this year.
One of the more freaked out places we went to was California where we played a two week tour along the westcoast. - FREAKS!
Your image and artworks are amazing, sometimes really hard sometimes really artistic, what do you want to express with this concept of artwork and image?
Its about energy and smashing the living daylights out of your ears! ....and we all go ape when we hear tunes that are the bomb. But as they say, it all depends on the eye of the beholder...so go figure it out for yourself , write it down and send it to us - we will splatter your comments everywhere. eg: www.nude-music.com
What are your plans for this new release "RUFF, RUGGED + RAW" and are you going to come to the UK on tour?
RUFF, RUGGED + RAW is out right now and the next big release is LET ME GO which is a Heaven 17 original.
Glen, from Heaven 17, heard our version and was all for it.
There will be a couple of major Remixes on this one by artists which we like very much.
After that, the next Album BASIC GUERILLA MOVES will be released and then a UK tour + All the Festivals and clubs around Europe are also on our timetable.
We wanted to wait, go to the US and get our shit tested upfront first - We also wanted the album to be ready so that we could perform with our live crew and not just drop a dj set with two guys. The UK is a big step because we have many relatives over there - and you can imagine how it must feel when your Gran is watching you.
Our fanbase in the UK is expanding at speed and we're getting a great deal of support thru the web right now - so it's not just a must do but a privilege to play in the UK and we are looking forward to it.

What do you consider to be the main difference between the UK and German scene and do you think NUDE could be breaking into the UK like you are doing in Germany and other countries ?
I guess the difference is that in the UK Georgie could moon the crowd and he would receive a laugh or get a friendly smack in the face.
In Germany he would just get a bunch of Krauts moon him back..
We dont really see any big difference between Europeans in general, they are all into good throbbing, skullf**king music.
It's the US we didnt really understand. ROFL!
I have never been to any NUDE gig, What do you think would be a NUDE "experience" for me, or even a new audience.
Pay for a ticket and FIND OUT!!!
Actually we dont perform live! It's all triggered from a tapedeck underneath Marc's armpits.
We cant sing either. Georgie has swallowed a small sampler from which he can trigger the appropriate "ugh's" and "yeah's" .
OK, well it's something you have to see for yourself.. We thrive on the audience and the smaller the venue the more intimate we can get with them - what that exactly means we dont really know but we have been told we have done things we cant remember anyway after the show! ;o) www.youtube.com/nudebox
Where can we buy and/or find your music in the UK?
