The Mechanics

about

1) The Mechanics is a Belgian jazz 'supergroup' (of sorts) featuring prominent musicians who rose to fame in the Antwerp music scene of the 1990s. Eric Thielemans (Tape Cuts Tape) is proud to present a brand new, exciting combo together with Rudy Trouvé (of dEUS and Kiss My Jazz fame, amongst others), Mauro Pawlowski (ex-dEUS, ex-Evil Superstars and more), Roman Hiele and Jean-Yves Evrard. Mixed into an exciting cocktail of energies childishly bald and raw, maturely tender and constructive, spiritually curious and rocking loud with electronic burning sonic edges. Backpacked with their own sets of broken tools and musical experiences, The Mechanics set out sail to the landscapes and repertoires explored before them by such giants as Ornette Coleman, Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler and their contemporaries in other music and art fields. "Are The Mechanics a Jazz combo? The Mechanics don't know. As of yet, The Mechanics have no real memory of their own. What they do know is that they are impatient to check out the mechanics behind those musics that tick their tock. They will do so as they are feathered. In colours, primal and expressive. And what better way to understand something than by breaking it and then trying to fix it." 2) New wave band from New Orleans, U.S. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
