Lias Saoudi Interview....................5 Gig Listings...................................7 Club Listings...............................16
The editor says...
Hello! Welcome to the first print edition of The Back Pages, London's new 100% FREE alternative music listings magazine. It doesn't matter whether you like hip hop, folk, thrash metal, disco or minimal techno. If a gig or club night could appeal to music lovers then we'll not only list it, but describe it too. Our readers find out about the events they want to attend in seconds instead of wasting hours trawling through pages of links. This month, our feature interview is with Fat White Family's Lias Saoudi, one of the most high octane frontmen ever to emerge from the UK indie scene. He and his band are playing their biggest venue to date, the Brixton Academy. Given that they honed their craft a stone's throw from the venue, this should be a special occasion. In addition, both Thee Oh Sees and King Gizzard & The Lizzard Wizzard are playing in London this month, making September an exciting time for fans of psychedelic garage rock. The extraordinary Terry Riley will be performing at The Barbican. His minimalist works from the 1960s and 1970s had a profound influence over everything from krautrock to techno. Anyone who hasn't heard the likes of "In C" or "A Rainbow In Curved Air" will be blown away by how fresh and up to date they still sound 50 years on.
Among Riley's greatest disciples is the Swedish psychedelic motorik band, Trad, Gras Och Stenar. They play Cafe Oto, as do prog legends Magma later in the month. On the clubbing side of things, London's dance scene has been overtaken by a series of heinous events during the period that this magazine was in production. First and foremost, Studio 338 burned down resulting in the tragic death of one of their employees. A fundraiser will be held during September to help his family and provide funds to rebuild the venue. Secondly, Fabric, one of the world's most important clubs, was forced to close while drug deaths on the premises are investigated. Every death is a terrible event, but the authorities must take into account the millions of clubbers who have passed through the club's doors over the years and compare the relative safety of a well run venue like Fabric to that of a house party. For everyone who cares about London's music scene, getting both venues back in action as soon as possible should be a key priority. In the meantime, keep on dancing. We've tried to highlight events that we think are interesting or innovative, but, frankly, why should you listen to us? Give the magazine a shuftie and find something YOU like!
Champagne Holocaust There is a pleasing energy to the music that Fat White Family make. fantasise as you go past." Frontman, Lias Saoudi, writes wilfully offensive lyrics that the band back up with feverish, psychedelic garage country punk. The end result somehow Hearing the unexpected note of pride from a songwriter whose main subject manages to sound sweaty; like an audio translation of someone going is human wretchedness is strangely uplifting. through cold turkey or experiencing the symptoms of syphillus. Lias has an unmistakable Yorkshire accent with an occasional Ulster twang. None of the above description would find its way into a record executive's The latter resulted from spending much of his childhood and adolescence usual formula for commercial success. Nevertheless, Fat White Family have living in Cooktown, County Tyrone. The former is in spite of the fact that he managed to grow their popularity to the point where they are now able to has never lived in Yorkshire. Instead, he "soaked it up" from his Yorkshireplay a venue the size of the Brixton Academy. bred Mum.

Lias describes Ulster as becoming "gradually more depressing" as time went "If it goes well, if everybody shows up, then it will be a real cause for on, which led to him taking the first opportunity to leave for London. celebration. It will kind of bookmark that period in our lives," he replied. Expanding on the decision, he says he's "got nothing against the good people "I didn't think that [playing the Academy] would ever materialise. One does ofTyrone", but that "there's a lot of fucking meatheads" and "bigotry" in that September 201 6 - The Back Pages/5
part of the world. In spite of his desire to get away from Northern Ireland, the province has left some positive influences on Lias. He traces his love of country music to it being a part of his environment growing up. "I think Johnny Cash and Hank Williams were some of the first things that I listened to as a teenager actually. Before I got into The Fall and all that stuff. That kind of music was kind of around, I guess." In relation to The Fall, Lias describes getting to meet Mark E Smith after the near mythical figure poured a glass of champagne over his younger brother, Nathan, Fat White Family's keyboardist. Nathan then threw a glass of whisky over Smith, which nearly led to a fight between the two bands. "I was like, “fucking hell, man, we're going to have a big scrap with the Fall.” I couldn't believe it, but then it was kind of like an icebreaker and we ended up sitting and chatting. They were all really lovely." Less lovely was the descent into heroin abuse that Lias witnessed from many of his nearest and dearest prior to recording second album, Songs For Our Mothers. He describes this period as making his life "a fucking misery". He explains, "If you're in London it can cost you six quid to have a pint down the pub with your mates, but for £10 you can buy a bag of heroin. It's no surprise that everybody's sitting at home with rows of tinfoil." Nevertheless, he resists advancing conclusions in one direction or another with his songs. Instead, the lyrics to Tinfoil Deathstar, which deals most directly with heroin, simply describe the pleasures & horrors of abusing the drug. "It's patronising when some quasi-intellectual art school gimp starts telling you what you should or should not think about such & such a political situation. Nobody wants that... They want tunes & they want things that are relevant, but I don't think it's really my position to light the way forward." It's morphin' time!
Lias Saoudi darkens the way forward On Northern Ireland
On the press
"Yeah, I'm definitely a Republican sympathiser... I mean it just makes more sense, doesn't it? I do sympathise... These people have been there for a long time and they think they're British. There is an argument there, but I think nature will run its course and the Catholics will outbreed the Prods."
"If the Brexit vote proves anything it's that the mainstream press still have a huge sway over the voting population. Until there's some sort of limitation put on the press, until there's rules on what people can say and who they can support and how much money they can put into it and all that kind of crap, I don't think we can touch anything. I think it's going to get worse.
On the EU referendum "It's a bit tragic. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I guess it was the masses chewing their nose off to spite their face, you know?" On Jeremy Corbyn
"I think Corbyn's going to fall totally shy of that. Sure, there's thousands of people who turn up to his rallies and that's great, but there's fifteen times more miserable old gits who just sit at home reading the Daily Mail and The Sun. What are we going to do about them?" There may be trouble ahead
"I don't think he's enough part-lizard to really operate in the world of politics. I think you've got to have a guy in there who's at least part lizard and I think "There's a lot of talk about us about to enter into the low end of the cycle. he's kind of like a geography teacher who's been thrust into that world. I'm The rise of the right wing. Reactionary kind of strong men. Casual racism. not sure if he'll really survive." It's not great, is it?"
