STILL ILL
â€Wow!!! AMAZING MUSIC!!!†– Ana from VenezuelaThe Newborn called STILL ILL let out its first cry of anger
during the beginning of anno 2006. Main man (singer L. Garbage)
was growing increasingly frustrated with his easy-going
jet-set lifestyle and thought it was time to look for some trouble.
Years of experience told him that the best way to achieve
this was to start up a band.
The first members to join the group were old associates of LG,
guitarist Hemi and drummer Burt Schibulanski, but no matter
how hard LG tried to shake his tambourine there was still something
lacking in the overall sound. New recruits were found:
Carlos took up the low-frequency-terrorism duty and Mr. Hyde
takes care of stealth-sweep-operations.
Both are top notch musicians – or at least so they claim!Somehow the group managed to stay together until the release
of their first demo on the first of May, which just happens to be
the official grand day out for every major fuckup in Finland.
Coincidence?
The demo, imaginatively named “1st Demoâ€, was recorded
and mixed by Mr. Hyde at his combined rehearsal/recording studio
and contains following dance-hits:1. Capsule (coming down)
2. Black Inside
3. Born AgainAfter this, in the summer of ’06, Hemi wanted to finally do
something useful with his life and jumped off the bandwagon.
STILL ILL had to carry on as a quartet. It was clear that two
guitars were essential for the band’s sound but after a brief
pow-wow they decided to record a new demo before looking
for a suitable replacement. STILL ILL played their first tentative
gig in Boothill, Helsinki. Since the sound guy ruined the show
by turning the guitar down, they could see that a second
guitarist was needed immediately. One could keep the song
going while the other bashed the living shit out of the miscreant!Eventually a new guitarist was found during the recording of
the new songs. Obi-Wan Kugellager came to greet his
so-called-friend Mr. Hyde and was forced to play a couple of solos
for the songs. After empty promises of fame and glory Obi-Wan
was persuaded to wield his light saber in the band as a
regular member.The second demo, surprisingly called â€2nd Demoâ€, was finished
and ready to spread the Gospel of STILL ILL on the X-mas Eve 2007.
The three tunes on the demo are:1. My Evil Ways
2. Newborn Sin
3. The Birmingham AshNow, on February 2008 the band is willing and able to BOOGIE!
YOU’VE BEEN WARNED, STILL ILL IS UNLEASHED!
