about

“The drumming, from an illegal Brazilian immigrant, was heavily influenced by the sounds from back home, using a minimal drum set and metal junk percussion fed through circuit bent electronic effects. The vocals from the Russian/Ukrainian member were primitive, absurd nonsense lyrics that were screamed, sung and whispered in mostly Russian and a bit of English. His lack of knowledge on how to properly play / tune a baritone guitar ended up pushing the instrument in a new direction. The American-born band member found himself moving to San Francisco from a small Midwestern town, due to his obsession with the skate culture. He made his bass guitar at times sound like metal cables being snapped against an electric power line. We all tried to digest and spit out sounds and ideas that constantly surrounded us. The city was rich with them, and we used tape recorders to get field recordings and basic guitar pedals to channel out this city noise. We would often perform outdoors using old gasoline generators. Taking over unused spaces like abandoned train stations and making them, if only temporarily, public again and free to weirdoes of all ages.“ - didimao

A number of bands from the pre-social media/smart-phone culture came and went, sometimes without leaving even a slightest internet foot print. Many in California’s Bay Area underground music scene in the mid 2000's were no exception. didimao shared a scene with fascinating acts that were all about being in the moment. Developing a long-lasting music career was not a goal for most then. This can be viewed as a fairly "dead end" attitude and, in a way, it sure is. The band was very much a product of its time and place; 2004 - 2009 were years of affordable rent and wild creativity due to the economic collapse of the "2nd .COM boom", before the third Tech wave swept in making the cost of living very much unaffordable, especially for those already struggling. Caroliner was one of the pillars of this scene. Some of their multiple side-projects shared members with didimao just like dozens of other oddballs from the Bay Area scene did. Caroliner’s DIY ethos with hand painted CD-rs and other home-made paraphernalia were a huge influence during that period. didimao’s music is a grainy picture of what was happening there, in San Francisco underground: the band played with all sort of outsiders, from industrial and noise acts to psychedelic and death rock groups, while their own music was deranged and authentic enough to compress all that and more into a tracklist of aggressive, impatient and schizophrenically dark outbursts, ranging from atonal rock to atmospheric tape collage, heavily influenced by no wave, post punk, and BBC's radiophonic workshop. The content in this record was carefully remastered and some early demo tracks were added for your dissatisfaction. The “dead end” scene never meant to please the audience, but it works as an inner experience; no commercial concept, they just needed to purge all that - reason why so many great artists are forgotten. But we’re glad to present you this solid example of sonic viscerality!
