May 201 6 - The Back Pages/5

Top Banana

Ahead of Melt-Banana's headlining performance at the Raw Power Festival

on the 28th of May, The back pages took the opportunity to catch up with

Yako, the band's singer, and Agata, the guitarist.

Their headline set at Raw Power will be the Japanese duo's sole UK show

this year. It comes immediately after an extensive, and at the time ofwriting

on-going, tour of the USA alongside The Melvins and Napalm Death.

For people who have yet to witness the free wheeling, high velocity sonic

assault of the band's live approach, tickets for Raw Power should be high on

their shopping lists.

One element amongst many in the band's unique sound is the use of ultra-

fast grindcore style blast beat drumming. The influence of their Brummie

touring partners is something that Agata acknowledges.

He said, “It was before Melt-Banana when I listened to Napalm Death for

the first time, I was still in school. My friend played it for me and I

remember the moment.

“I was really impressed and after that I recorded a song setting my drum

machine speed as fast as possible and played it for my friends. My friends

just laughed when I played it but since then, I started think about tempo

more than before.”

Melt-Banana's early touring with grindcore bands like New Jersey's

Discordance Axis also rubbed off on them to the point where they co-opted

that band's drummer for a four year stint as a touring musician.

In addition to the extreme speed of their songs, Yako's high pitched, anarchic

singing style also sets Melt-Banana apart from their peers. A multi-coloured

riot of ideas flies past as you listen to the band's albums, something that

meshes neatly with Agata's unconventional, rapid fire guitar work.

One of Melt-Banana's most high profile fans was the late, great Lou Reed,

who managed to book them at the third attempt to play with him at Sydney

Opera House in 2010. Yako describes this as a “great” experience.

She said, “We played two days, one was headlining, like a normal show, and

the other day was with many bands, like a festival. At first, we were

supposed to play once at that day and it was very early, then Lou Reed told

us to play a second time right before he played his set.”

Agata added, "It was so much fun. His audience was very nice to us and I

had a chance to play with him after our set with some other musicians."

From 2003's Cell-Scape onwards, the band has also incorporated synths and

samples as key components of their sound. This has led to increasingly

sophisticated songwriting, but without the loss of the extreme aural impact

6/The Back Pages - May 201 6

that has marked out the band since their formation in the early nineties. It's

possible, however, that the shift contributed to instability in the band's line

up.

Melt-Banana's extraordinary sonic whirlwind almost blew itself out in 2012

when Yako and Agata were seriously considering calling it a day. Agata

cites the fact that he was “tired of looking of for touring musicians”, a

reference to their endless merry go round of drummers and the then recent

split with their long term bassist Rika Hamamoto.

Yako explained, “We were thinking that this band has to be a four piece at

that time, I don't know why.”

The solution that they arrived at was to continue as a two piece and deepen

their experimentation with electronics. This format ofMelt-Banana made its

debut at the Shellac curated All Tomorrow's Parties in 2012.

Agata said that he was “very excited” by this shift. “I felt like we found a

new thing to try to create,” he explained.

The band's 2013 album, Fetch, stands as a triumphant monument to the

success of their new approach. Since then they have been busy writing

material, although a new album may still be some way off.

Yako said, “Since we are on our own label, there is no dead line and we tend

to spend very long to write music, so I'm not sure when we finish new one

yet, but hopefully in one or two years we'll put out a new album."

Melt-Banana play at The Dome on Saturday the 28th ofMay.

With Iggy Pop's show at the Royal Albert Hall having sold out far in

advance, you'd be forgiven for feeling a bit down in the dumps if you

weren't lucky enough to have secured tickets.

At the back pages we look out for our downhearted readers, so by way of

compensation here is our ultimate Iggy Pop mini-playlist. Plug it into your

favourite streaming service. It'll be almost like being there. Sort of.. .

1) That's How Strong My Love Is (Live) from Hippodrome - Live 1977:

This deranged, funk-infused cover of the Otis Redding song is one of Iggy's

finest live moments on record. He takes a classic love song and takes it

somewhere almost unrecognisable.

2) Mass Production from The Idiot: Dark, stately and constantly

fascinating throughout its eight minute duration. A high point from Mr Pop's

late '70s period of collaboration with David Bowie.

3) Gardenia from Post Pop Depression: The most immediately gratifying

song from Iggy's latest album. This feels like it could rub shoulders with the

best of Iggy's Berlin-era work.

4) L.A. Blues from Fun House: The final howling descent into madness

from one of the most extraordinary albums ever recorded.

5) Louie Louie (live) from Metallic K.O.: The final song from the final

show played by The Stooges before their 1974 break up closes appropriately

with the sound of a hurled bottle smashing against the stage.
