GIHT SHASIE started at the end of 2002, and at the time our only idea was to make old school hardcore techno band like Atari Teenage Riot or something like that. we were also listening to other interesting bands that had raw recordings, and brutal attitude like Agoraphobic Nosebleed / The Locust / Melt Banana / Gore Beyond Necropsy as much as avantgarde music / japanese and other harsh noise artists, and usual hardcore/metal/punk/sludge/extreme stuff...
we wanted to write emotional, but engaged lyrics and we wanted to put out the anger that was in our hearts and heads. that anger included hate against drummers, so we choosed to share our friendship with Fruity Loops, instead of loosing lot of energy and enthusiasm looking for the cool drummer. two people noise unit was great idea, cause many more ideas could be explored thru it, than thru "normal" band with four or five band members. so we changed few ideas about the sound and instruments before the first gig we ever played [as an technical result], and at the end of this were distorted bass, synth, beats from discman, and 2 grinding and screaming vocals.
our texts [in croatian most of the time] included more gore and hate thematics, than straight social engaged stuff from the beginning. we decided to shock people with our attitude/stupidity/black humour.
about the name, giht is sickness that older male people often get, including problems with fat in the bones, and shasia is part of the car, these two were just two stupidest and ugliest words in croatian we could think of at the time. we like it.
our sound is now mixture of grind, techno, hardcore, and sometimes drum n' bass.
we want to play every kind of music and we want to make people sick, "punks" with free jazz and harsh noise stuff and "artists" with fast and screaming grindcore, "skaters" with techno and dn'b, and so on. now we are listening lots of sludge and lo-fi grindcore stuff and things like that, but we think our sound is very much of our own, distorted and ugly as much as we want. during 2004., as an result of constant smoking pot and drinking with our friend, we decided to expand our line up, and now we have guitar / bass / synth / computer and 3 vocals, total 3 members. also, in our hometown we turned GIHT SHASIE into local mockery and drunk/stoned way of having fun. so it's not only about musick. it's about being critical on everything and using both intelligence and stupidity to produce great noise and have fun with everything. if you think that you have some reason to communicate with us just write. we are always looking for traders/friends/supporters/labels and other underground shit.
