"There’s no intelligence or instinct in current music. It’s all just homogenised, soulless crap made for bank managers. Music should be a place for weirdoes and freaks, the people that just don’t fit in but have a really strong individualist point of view. I don’t hear strong individual voices any more. Too many cowards, too many people with no imagination. No one’s writing ’Get up, stand up’ they’re all writing songs for adverts"

Bobby Gillespie

"Underground music, before it becomes established, I like that music, because the people making it are alive. They don’t give a shit, they don’t care about being number one. They don’t care about a great sounding, polished product. What they want is guts. And a good beat. And to say something that means something to you, and to say it in a raw kind of a way that grabs you and makes you listen to it."

Neil Young

LET’S RECLAIM THE BEATS!!!

New stuff!

The band just finished working on a 6 songs EP, mixed by Kramer and featuring two cover songs (Thin Lizzy’s ’the boys are back in town’ and Cat Power’s ’Nude as the news’) and will be released shortly!!!

Not so new stuff!

About Rope Skipping for Fireflies: It’s the era of artistic resurrection of 80’s indie bands and artists: together with great albums from e.g. The Fall and Gang of Four or new projects like Githead of Wire’s Colin Newman Belgian Indie Rock Godfathers Perverted (founded in 1984) kick back with an exciting new release breathing hope, resistance and vitality.

In their 20-year existence they released 7 great albums (previously as Perverted By Desire). Their 8th is called ’Rope Skipping For Fireflies’ and is recorded in the beautiful setting of the French Pyrenees, in a place called Mantet , 80 km east of Salvador Dali’s centre of the world, La gare de Perpignan . Completely isolated from the outside world, Perverted have crafted their most diverse album yet. Their trademark guitar sound remains intact, but is spiced up with influences from all over the globe. On the guest list amongst others female singer 2M, the beats and samples from mister Raindeer (who is doing really well recently in Tokamat Fusion Test Reactor) and another contribution by Elvis Peeters (from the infamous band Aroma di Amore, nominated for two literature prizes, Gouden Uil and Libris ). Dolf Planteijdt (The Ex, De Kift ) recorded and mixed the album together with Zlaya Hadic (Sonic Youth, Low, Motorpsycho , Tortoise ). As an extra their brilliant debut record ’Dance Music For Dying Soldiers’ is added. ’Dance Music...’, the record that made long time Perverted-producer Kramer sign the band to his Shimmy Disc-label, was previously only released on vinyl and unavailable for ages. So a brand new and a very old ’Perverted’-classic in one package, now on Labelman .
