2010 - Andy Rourke - Ex-Smiths bassist gets his groove on

The accidental DJ

Ex-Smiths bassist Andy Rourke gets his groove on

by Christopher Toh

PEOPLE uproot for many reasons: A new love, a new life, a new beginning ...

For bassist Andy Rourke, uprooting from his home in Manchester to fly across

the Atlantic and relocate in New York City last year was the best thing that he

could do.

"One of the reasons I moved to New York was to work with different musicians and

get rid of my frustrations with Manchester," he said over the phone from his

New York home. "Back there, I'd run out of people to play music with and

I found myself sitting on the sofa watching daytime TV. So I thought I'd better

get the hell out and give myself a kick up the a***."

These days, Rourke plies his trade as a party DJ - he will be in town for a

one-night set at Home Club on Friday.

"I'm a bit of an old-timer - I'll play classic stuff, Rolling Stones, Beatles,

Pixies, Breeders, maybe a couple of Smiths songs, New Young Pony Club ...

whatever kind of grabs my attention really," he said.

"I just kind of pitch songs I think will be appropriate. You have to read the

audience, you know, and I kind of adjust it from there. Maybe I'll play

Devo or Talking Heads, maybeI won't. If a song fills the dance floor,

then I'll play songs to keep the dance floor full. I like that challenge."

If you think "DJ" is a far cry from his original job description, he

will be the first to tell you that it is.

"I wouldn't even call myself a DJ. I'm still a musician. (DJ-ing) was

something that happened by accident. A friend invited me to

DJ at his club one night, and people enjoyed it and it kind

of took off from there," he said.

"I would never have the audacity to call myself a DJ. It's just

having fun, you know? I don't want people to think that I've

hung up my bass. I don't like it when people say, 'Oh, now

you're a DJ.' I prefer to play the bass, yeah."

Rourke, of course, is better known as the bassist for seminal Brit band The Smiths.

He was at the centre of a controversy when he was briefly sacked from the band

for drug use. (He has claimed that singer Morrissey wrote his dismissal on a

postcard and stuck it on his car, though Morrissey has repeatedly denied this.)

Still, insisted Rourke, he's proud of his time in The Smiths.

"I think we had something really special. I look back with very fond memories.

When people interview me, they try to fish for me to say something nasty about

The Smiths. But I had a good time all the time."

Yes, even the Spinal Tap moments. "I remember the first time we played a

gig in New York, it was New Year's Eve, and Morrissey fell off the stage. He had

to be picked up, and I think he actually cried.(Laughs) His glasses were a little

bit bent out of shape, but he was okay."

After The Smiths broke up, he continued playing bass for several performers -

Sinead O'Connor, Killing Joke, The Pretenders ("Chrissie Hynde can be scary!

She's a great songwriter, but she's a real sergeant-major. She's quite intense,

but it was a real pleasure to work with her.") and even Morrissey.

While he's "been around the block" when it comes to working with musicians,

Rourke said he's perfectly happy being who he is now.

"I'm loving my life. I have a band called Jet Lag; I have a radio show also called

Jet Lag; I have collaborations with Junior Sanchez and he's got a band called

Team Facelift and I'm helping out; I also produced a band called The Bowery Riots;

and I did a remix for The Tokyo Police Club. I'm pretty busy. A lot more busy than in

Manchester. Which was the whole point. I don't even own a TV any more!

"I'll continue till they put me into the ground. I don't think you can retire from

playing music. This is my love, this is my passion."

Andy Rourke performs at Home Club, Oct 22 at 10.30pm.

Tickets: $18 before 11.30pm, $15 after (includes one standard drink).

2002 - The Cure Revista DVD Total

Esta revista comprei pois tinha o DVD Picture Show .Nada de novo ,o de sempre informações incompletas e tal.Valeu somente pelo DVD.

1988 - New Order Revista Poster Bizz

Tenho um carinho especial com esta revista, pois comprei no Ginásio do Ibirapuera momentos antes do show. Um dia inesquecível e o publico foi brindado com o New Order tocando Love Will Tears Us Apart ! Memorável , pois nesta época eles dificilmente tocavam as músicas do Joy Division.

Guitar Nero ! Era o que estava escrito nos amps de Peter Hook nos shows do Brasil !
