Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favorite films, "The Squid and the Whale," and the name of the director (Noah Baumbach).

music is really obsolete as a genuine for of expression isn't it

latebloomer, Saturday, 12 July 2008 07:53 (fifteen years ago) link

Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favorite films, "The Squid and the Whale," and the name of the director (Noah Baumbach). They are avid fans of the film director Wes Anderson, who helped produce "The Squid and the Whale" alongside Noah Baumbach. Their e-mails, and many of their MySpace blog posts, are signed "Sic Transit Gloria," a memorable line from the Wes Anderson film "Rushmore." It is a latin phrase that literally translates into english as "glory fades," and was uttered by Max Fischer, a character in the film that was played by Jason Schwartzman.

abanana, Saturday, 12 July 2008 21:56 (fifteen years ago) link

I think when you hit your mid-twenties and most of new bands out there are either your age or a bit younger, it's harder to tolerate their twattishness and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Bodrick III, Saturday, 12 July 2008 22:08 (fifteen years ago) link

As a teenager I might have seen My Life Story on The Chart Show or something, and thought that they seemed like tits, BUT on the other hand you were thinking that maybe this was something maybe you didn't understand yet...

This band and that comment reminded me of a video I shot with my friends for school a few months back. I didn't show this on ILM so I don't feel bad about whoring it out now.

To the man with the gelled fringe on the tube...
Current mood: indifferent

A drunk man in a dodgy oversized blue t shirt and with his fringe gelled to his forehead came up to me on the tube. He stank of beer and told me trash pussies were 'shit last year at reading'. I found this bizarre, not because of his interesting hair style, but as we never played reading festival, and never intended to.
I have also noticed promoters seem to have no qualms with sticking 'trash pussies' alongside the other names on their flyers, when we have not heard of these nights and have never agreed to play them.
This is starting to bother me. It nags at me, and seems strange and uncalled for.
We started Trash Pussies as a way to have fun in clubs doing something other than getting pissed and lairy- ie- something productive and fun and interactive. And also because we both hugely enjoy music, always have, always will.
Being a part of Trash Pussies has opened us up to so many new genres of music and artists we probably wouldn't have been interested in before, and its always fun to discover new things. We don't take ourselves seriously, we both have no intention of being 'djs' for a living, as we both have other jobs.
I don't understand why people jump to conclusions at something that is in every way productive. If someone hears a set and hears something new and enjoys it, that is an honourable thing.
We hope people come to gigs to enjoy music just as we play gigs to enjoy music.
We don't see djing as an 'art' or ambition, just as a way to have fun and play music we love and believe in. We've gotten better every gig, practising to the point where we are now vey confident- and would like to silence the again, bizarre rumours that we dj off ipods as, a) neither of us have one and b) we use vinyl and cd. We have met some amazing people along the way, and discovered some amazing music, from the favelas of brazil to the ghettotech clubs of new york.
I've also started a new dj collective- the New Testament Party Crew (www.myspace.com/thenewtestamentpartycrew) which is letting me dj music I probably wouldn't with trash pussies (Fifi has a stubborn streak), an altogether more eclectic and broad sound from different genres ranging from baltimore club to dancehall to angolan hip hop. This again is done out for pleasure, rather than a way to 'prove myself' as a dj. Listen to the mixes on our page, a product of frederick blood-royales toil.
I wish people would listen to the music we play before judging us.
I wish that the man on the tube with the gelled fringe could have known this.

Tracksuit Party, Monday, 14 July 2008 07:55 (fifteen years ago) link

Fair play for the Trash pussies' message.

Fact is, there are so many chancers around, it basically comes down to how much background and interest yon chancers have. (Including them)

Would a fantastic set played off an ipod be better than a lameness done for real? No of course not. Is a massively eclectic set better than a 'familiars and favourites' one? not necessarily.

Is the success factor down to how many removed you are from Bob Geldof?

(jury is out on that one, but not for long...)

Mark G, Monday, 14 July 2008 08:31 (fifteen years ago) link

Unfortunately they call themselves the Trash Pussies so that invalidates anything they do, say or think.

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 14 July 2008 09:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Presumably a reference to Fred and Judy Vermorel's "Cash Pussies"...

New album's actually pretty good. A complete change of tack to sleek 80s rock (Full Moon Fever would be a decent comparison point). Never liked them before, but starting to admire Charlie Fink's willingness to do something different every time he goes in a studio, regardless of the fact that the people who liked the previous album will be baffled: each has been very different to the last.
