JONAH SMITH [USA] + BUFFALO [ZARAUTZ]

JONAH SMITH:

We try but we can’t make it in the city. We wander around in dazes. Daydreaming. We look for a fresh start somewhere far away from criscrossed telephone wires and we relax. But when winter starts creeping in she leaves and I’m stuck with my own thoughts, ice fishing on the lake. And I think about life in other places. How they are looking at our world and the way things are going -- The view from under their stars. Back in the city, friends and family continue to grind it out. Up for work and watching Hum-Vees rolling around on TV. They turn it off and send the kids to school. They’re not sleeping too well these days with the baby and a truckload of cynical thoughts. They try to think positive and watch Dr. Phil.

I come back to the city – back home – for a party at an old friend’s that has just beat cancer. Besides, the holidays were a little much alone in the woods. I check in with her, but she’s taken off to New Orleans. Guess it’s over for real this time. Time to go drinking, and those old phone numbers are still working. those buddies are still on the bar stools. Every time I drink the war pops into my head. Hard to believe it’s already been longer than WWI and WWII combined. I listen to some old Hank Williams and try to glamorize depression. Breathing in the ugly air; taking in the foul smells. I think of the country again and a time far removed from modern day, looking up at someone else’s sky.

But it’s easier to walk around in a daydream. At least I think Dostoyevsky thought so. It’s harder to step outside of yourself and look in, isn’t it? Do you know what I’m talking about?

BUFFALO:

Kaixo! Buffalo David Gorospek (baterian) Ander Ederrak (gitarran) eta Joanes Ederrak (baxuan) osaturiko musika talde bat da,orain dela urtebete inguru sorturikoa.Hasiera batean ondo pasatzeko jotzen hasi ginen, baina konturatzerako abestiak sortzen joan ziren. Gure asmoa abeslaria aurkitzea zen, baina segituan hirukote moduan genuen soinua gustatzen zitzaigulaz konturatu ginen. Horregatik, talde instrumental bezela aurrera egitea erabaki genuen. Nahiz eta musika estilo askotariko eragina duen talde bat izan (jazz, soul, rock...), jazz rocka egiten dugula esan daiteke. Taldearen lehen grabaketa myspace honetan aurkituko duzuen maketa da. Otsaileko goiz batean grabatu zen Andoainen Alberto Irurzun eta bere ikasleekin(escivi). Argazkiak eta diseiñua laura 10m-k eginak dira. Laster arte!
