B.SIDE



B.SIDE is a Portuguese underground brand moving in
the surf/Skate/snowboard lifestyle scene where the music,
the art and the underground lifestyle is present
in every detail the brand brings out to public.
Endorsed by two fellow surfers, Joao Rei and Nuno Viegas
since 1999, this brand as conquers their position in the
market with their irreverent approach to the modern
boardrider community with their young
art-to-culture crossover.

BLASTED MECHANISM


BLASTED MECHANISM are one of the greatest live
music revelations in recent years in Portuguese
alternative pop music.
Leaded by three look-a-like George Lucas «Star Wars»
characters - Valdjiu (guitar, gittler and bambuleco -
an 8 string masterpiece self-created that blends the
guitar / bass performances), Karkov (lead vocals and
Karkovian - a very particular language created by himself)
and Ary (bass and sound effects), Blasted Mechanism
formerly appeared in 1994 in Lisbon, Portugal.
Playing with this «movie trio» are Fred Stone (a very
smooth Brazilian drummer) and Luis Simões (the head
behind the band Saturnia, who worked in earlier times at
Blasted Mechanism's remixed album - «MIX 00» - now
playing live: guitar, electric sitar and sound effects).

Since the beginning their music was different, something
like a rough-hewn fusion of the outer edges of contemporary
electronic pop and global dance-floor grooves, blended with
raw rock riffs.
Acclaimed by Portuguese music media, their music freshness
is frequently compared to creative Artists as Beck, Talvin Singh,
Femi Kuti, and Goran Bregovic. Someone even wrote that
Blasted Mechanism's music would be perfect to fit in any Emir
Kusturika movie.

But if Blasted Mechanism's music is surprising, what could we
say about their shows?
Marked by elaborate, extravagant costumes, their theatrical,
attention-grabbing image is a trade mark that originated the
buzz around the band's music and permitted Blasted Mechanism
to gradually build an audience through near-constant touring,
working their way up to the Portuguese Summer Festivals in 1996
and 1997, which really expanded their audience.
Their live shows are as surprising as irresistible, and the band
performs with such energy that the crowd just loves to be there,
jumping and dancing.
