About Me |
|
hello there, we are APPLICANTS. we come from out of the speakers and from london. paul met fidel at school in wolverhampton during an experimental a' level class in music technology. there were only three pupils on the course and there were no teachers to teach us anything as they all assumed they knew what they were doing. well know is your time to judge! accompanied by the lovely and exciting jeffrey james, APPLICANTS are here to create great and dangerous music you couldn't possibly get out of your head, even if you were to burst it off using mind tweasers. we have played many times around london and the uk, and once even on a romanian beach! we have released one vinyl on brainlove records, and a new EP is only moments away. APPLICANTS are currently recording, writing and practicing a whole new bunch of stuff - we are recoridng versions of them round fidel + paul's council flat (as it should be) - once we've recorded them we'll put them up for you to hear... "A band so riotus, so punk rock and so endearing as to be impossible... In an alternative universe Applicants would be playing Wembley and Muse playing The Dublin Castle." richard davis artrocker magazine read the full review in our blog "The intercontinental Applicants... parallel universe popstars with a fondness for fake blood and liver-destroying quantities of booze, and that's just on the bus to the the gig. Bring your own serviettes - it's going to get messy". the guardian guide "Of all writings I love only that which is written with blood. Write with blood: and you will discover that blood is spirit... He who writes in blood and aphorisms does not want to be read, he wants to be learned by heart". Frederich Nietzsche NEW SINGLE OUT 29 OCTOBER!!! as a showcase to our upcoming ep, we are releasing hypochondriac and hurt as a double a side single this month! the single is download-only and will be available form a million sites including i-tunes, more details to follow! |

Music:Member Since: 11/9/2005Band Website: applicantswebsite.co.uk Band Members: porL bLades, fideL viLLeneuve & jeffrey james photo by vicki churchiLL Influences: over the years, a list of bands or musical artists that fidel likes would be something like - ray stevens, atari teenage riot, bearsuit, suede, martini henri rifles, ol' dirty bastard, group sex by the circle jerks, beethoven, or whatever esle he found in the chairty shop that day. adding it all up, he doesnt think that sounds like APPLICANTS at all though. fidel's hero would probably be someone like joe meek, who's house/home studio at 304 holloway road he lived in for 8 months. Sounds Like: Bricolage is a term used in several disciplines, among them the visual arts and literature, to refer to: * the construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things which happen to be available; * a work created by such a process. It is borrowed from the French word bricolage, from the verb bricoler – equivalent to the English "do-it-yourself", the core meaning in French being, however, "fiddle, tinker" and, by extension, "make creative and resourceful use of whatever materials are to hand (regardless of their original purpose)". a rock and roLL eLephant cLimbing the greasy poLe of pop. Record Label: Brainlove Records Type of Label: Indie |
