MCM - Entrevista

1 – MCM (short bio with highlights, discography, etc):
MCM was started in 2003 by Alex Masi, Randy Coven and John Macaluso on the occasion of a tour of Mexico... soon thereafter an album was recorded titled RITUAL FACTORY which was released in 2004... MCM has since toured various parts of the world recorded several of the concerts from which the new album 1900-HARD TIMES was compiled.

2 – “1900 – Hard Times”:
1900-HARD TIMES is a collection of live pieces that were mixed and edited by me (Aex Masi) in my studio in Hollywood, California. The pieces were improvised for the most part with the exclusion of intro parts and endings and some riff in the middle of them, MCM is based on improvisation and the reason it seems to work so well is due to the length of our musical friendship and the confidence we have in each other as musicians.
-

3 – Musical and other kind of influences:
The music is influenced by all of our respective experiences through the years... I bring the classical, acid, indian, experimental ideas, Randy brings the funk and John brings the rhythmical madness....
At the end what comes out though is very much the sound of MCM which is quite unique....

4 – Lion Music:
The album is released by Lion Music as was the first MCM.

-

5 – Tour to promote the record:
We are looking to the spring for some shows in Europe and possibly the US, anyone interested in having us perform in their country, city, is welcome to contact us through any of our official websites and myspace sites (Alex's, Randy's or John's).

6 – Final Message:
Listen with open ears and an open mind without preconceived ideas or expectations. Thank you.
