Dear listeners, supporters, cheerleaders and friends, due to many problems that we had last few month we (me and gacha) decided not to make music together anymore and now we are working separately, so new tracks including "Mr. Johnny", "Denver" and "Take It" was recorded and published by me (Sandro). Hopefully MAMM's new EP will be out before September. Thank you for attention.

2009-11-03T02:52:00.000-08:00

The Tbilisi Altervision festival was held Oct. 23. The event aimed to introduce newcomer Georgian bands to the wider public. Performers at the festival included Ketrine&Me, The Georgians, Mirror Illusion, Me and My Monkey, Pornopoetry, Defenders of Tanelorn, ABC, Georgian Version, The Forest, Vitamin and Rema and Sanda.

The music varied in style and genre and the audience members had the chance to savor samples from the contemporary music scene such as death metal, minimal techno, folk-rock, funk and even Britpop.

“We tried to select quality bands from each genre. Unfortunately the hip hop niche was missed. Hopefully next year the gap will be filled,” festival organizer Achiko Guledani said.

The event’s initiators at Step Records did a remarkable job not only by giving different music genres equal opportunities, but also by introducing innovative marketing solutions to the Georgian market. The bands arrived on motorbikes, and stopped immediately in front of the stage and then proceeded to walk up the red carpet. As one musician said, “The way they organized things makes me feel as if I am an established musician.”

Even those bands that were not selected for the event had the chance to perform open-air in front of the Potola statue in downtown Tbilisi. The organizers dressed Potola in a T-shirt with an Altervision logo and jeans. The organizers also invited headliner bands from abroad, including Cynic Guru from Iceland and Temple Hedz from the UK.

The Altervision event was a continuation of the Tbilisi Open Air Festival, which took place in May. The idea is to promote and support Georgian independent musicians and the overall development of Georgian music industry. The festival’s slogan is “Music Breaks Free.”

Georgier und Saarländer feiern ihre Freundschaft

Cafe Exodus organisiert Jugendaustausch - Zwei Bands aus Tbilissi rocken beim Altstadtfest Georgier und Saarländer feiern ihre Freundschaft Das Cafe Exodus des Bistums Trier pflegt seit fünf Jahren den Jugendaustausch mit der georgischen Partnerstadt Tbilissi. Vom 4. bis 18. Juli kommen die Georgier ins Saarland. Dann wird auch die politische Lage in ihrer Heimat ein Thema sein. Saarländer und Georgier hatten sich 2008 beim Jugendaustausch in Tbilissi richtig lieb. Saarbrücken: Die nächsten Wochen werden etwas stressig für Martin Bauer. Doch der Leiter des Cafe Exodus im Nauwieser Viertel ist trotzdem gut gelaunt wie immer. An der Wand im Cafe hängt die Liste, welche Band wann auf der Rockwiese beim Saarbrücker Altstadtfest am Wochenende spielt. Das ist das eine Großprojekt. Zeitgleich werden am Altstadtfest-Samstag 16 junge Georgier aus der Partnerstadt Tbilissi nach Saarbrücken kommen, um hier am deutsch-georgischen Jugendaustausch teilzunehmen, den das Cafe Exodus ebenfalls organisiert. Vom 4. bis 18. Juli werden die Georgier im Saarland sein. Im vergangenen Jahr war eine Gruppe von Exodus-Jugendlichen am Kaukasus und kam mit vielen Eindrücken zurück. Einige der Georgier haben am Sonntagabend gleich ihren großen Auftritt. Sie sind Mitglieder der Rockbands "Me and my Monkey" und "Vitamin" und freuen sich schon darauf, den Altstadtfest-Besuchern am Sonntag um 18.30 und 21 Uhr eine gute Show zu bieten. Sie kommen aber auch nach Saarbrücken, um ihr Deutsch zu verbessern, sagt Bauer. Und die Exodus’ler sind schon ganz gespannt auf neue Informationen über die politische Situation in Georgien. "Die fragen dauernd: Gibt’s Neuigkeiten aus Tbilissi?", erzählt Martin Bauer. Im vergangenen Jahr waren die Jugendlichen gerade aus Tbilissi zurückgekehrt, als der georgisch-russische Krieg um die Region Südossetien im August ausbrach. Zurzeit protestiert die Opposition fast täglich gegen Präsident Michail Saakaschwili und fordert dessen Rücktritt. "Die Situation in Georgien wird auf jeden Fall ein Thema sein", sagt Bauer. Natürlich soll der Spaß nicht zu kurz kommen. Vom 11. bis 15. Juli fährt die Gruppe an den Rhein. Während der gesamten Jugendbegegnung sollen die Teilnehmer ihre Erlebnisse mit der Kamera festhalten, berichtet Bauer. Die Jugendlichen aus Tbilissi werden bei der Arbeiterwohlfahrt in Ludweiler und in Familien untergebracht. Alte Bekannte werden ein Wiedersehen feiern, aber sicher auch neue Freundschaften geschlossen. Spätestens dann wird der Vorbereitungsstress bei Martin Bauer vergessen sein.

Des singes très rock à Tbilissi

2009-02-23T11:49:00.000-08:00

Me and My Monkey
Des singes très rock à Tbilissi

L’histoire commence à Tbilissi, en 2007, pendant une fête chez des amis.
Deux musiciens, assez éméchés, engagent la conversation. Après une heure de
vifs débats sur le rock en Géorgie, une décision est prise : Sandro
et Gocha Bakradze vont former un groupe. « Me and My Monkey, au départ,
c’était moi et mon ordinateur, explique Sandro. Je jouais, chantais et mixais
tout seul dessus, et je l’avais baptisé Monkey. Le nom a plu à Gocha, alors
on l’a gardé ! ».
Sandro, chanteur et guitariste, est tombé dans le rock tout petit.
Son père, prêtre, était fan des Doors, des Rolling Stones et de Led Zeppelin.
Il lui a offert sa première guitare accoustique à l’âge de douze ans, puis à seize ans,
c’est une guitare électrique qu’il a reçu. Et ce fut le déclic.
Aujourd’hui, le jeune homme de 27 ans est un musicien confirmé…
qui enregistre ses chansons à la maison. « Il y a très peu de bons studios
à Tbilissi, et les ingénieurs du son sont franchement nuls.
Alors nous, on préfère travailler chez nous. Heureusement, nos
voisins apprécient notre musique ! », s’amuse Sandro.

« Les Géorgiens n’ont plus la possibilité d’investir dans la musique »
Influencés par Radiohead et par les Beatles, Me and My Monkey a voulu
toucher à tout. Mélanger indie, musique électronique et musique expérimentale,
c’est leur marque de fabrique à Tbilissi… et ça semble plaire. En 2007,
le groupe a participé au festival Rockwise à Sarrebruck, en Allemagne.
« On espère être invités cette année aussi, confie Sandro.
C’était super de jouer aux côtés de groupes anglais,
hollandais… En plus, comme on chante en anglais,
tout le monde peut comprendre nos chansons. »
Être compris de tous n’est toutefois pas la seule préoccupation
du groupe anglophone. « Notre chanson Star Fucker, en géorgien,
ça donne « varskvlabt mtyvneli ». C’est pas facile à prononcer,
et avouons le, c’est franchement moche. »

Drogue, guerre, violence, identité, tous les thèmes « traditionnels »
du rock sont abordés par le groupe. « Bien sûr, la situation en Géorgie
me révolte, mais je ne parle pas que de ça, précise le musicien.
Tout ce qui se passe dans le monde, le réchauffement climatique,
la course à l’or noir, ça ne concerne pas que mon pays, ça
touche tout le monde. Et comme je ne peux rien faire de concret,
je dénonce toutes ces horreurs en chansons ».
Mais la guerre ne fait pas qu’influencer les deux musiciens.
Elle les touche professionnellement. « Après tous les problèmes qu’a connu le pays,
les Géorgiens n’ont plus la possibilité d’investir dans la musique.
Notre manager, Michael Wiederhold, est allemand.
Personne à Tbilissi ne voulait se nous ! », plaisante à moitié Sandro.
Plusieurs concerts de Me and My Monkey ont été organisés
depuis 2007 en Géorgie, mais trop peu de lieux peuvent accueillir
des concerts de rock. Financièrement, le groupe rame également :
une prestation est payée en moyenne 200 dollars. Le premier album du groupe,
Star Fucker, devrait être mis en vente d’ici quelques mois. Pour le moment,
Sandro et Gocha vivent essentiellement de petits boulots. En attendant la gloire,
ils élaborent quelques projets. « Quand on gagnera suffisamment d’argent, on a
l’intention d’ouvrir un studio d’enregistrement à Tbilissi, révèle Sandro.
Il faudrait que tous les musiciens puissent travailler convenablement.
On veut faire connaitre le rock à toute la Géorgie ! »

MAMM about Myspace

2008-12-08T02:29:00.000-08:00

MySpace is a worldwide network and the whole world is engaged in it. Because Georgia is far away from the active part of the world, it is hard in many cases for Georgian musicians to establish serious contacts with the lables and clubs all around the world. ‘We had some interesting suggestions from different festivals and clubs, but because they thought it was the state Georgia, of America. Distance makes real prolems’-says TT, Sandro Chinchaladze, a leader of ‘Me and My Monkey. TT explains what he likes about this social networking website. ‘when you have MySpace, you know that different labels, clubs, radio stations and others can listen to your music and if they like it, they will invite you’-declares Chinchaadze. The band also got the offer to play on the festival in Germany last year. ‘We played in Frankfurt and Saarbruken. MySpace helped us a lot’-says the leader of ‘Me and My Monkey’. As for Georgia, he says that MySpace in not a useful thing for him. ‘I had never had a concert in Georgia, exactly with the help of MySpace. Georgians are not ready to establish serious relationships of this kind yet-explains Chinchaladze.

SONG (MP3): It's Coming Back
ALBUM: It's Coming Back (Single 2008)
FILE UNDER: Indi/Electronica/Alternative
LABEL: Studio 1, Caucasus Rocks
INFO: Both involved in solo projects before forming MAMM, They joined forces after a chance meeting at a party stirred their drunken spirits and inspired their musical collaboration. Sandro Chicnchaladze had been playing with local Tbilisi act The Neverland, while Gacha Bakradze was part of local band Vietnam Radio. The pair decided to quit their respective solo efforts in 2007 and put their heads together to focus wholeheartedly on MAMM. Officially MAMM was formed at 2007 in capital of Georgia, Tbilisi. Influenced by favorites like Beck, Mogwai, Royksopp, Radiohead and etc … early hard rock sound developed into indie electro-rock complete with catchy synth beats, sweeping atmospherics, and sharp songwriting. After getting favorable reviews at the Rockwise festival in Saarbrucken, MAMM got a producer from Germany and they signed a contract with label “CaucasusRocks” to work on putting together their first record. Staying true to the monkey theme, the duo outfitted their recent May 17th CD release party with free bananas donning MAMM stickers, watching the giddy audience with contained hilarity as a jungle of banana-chomping enthusiasts danced along to their track We Are The Monkeys. Nowadays band is working on their first album “The Starfucker”

They are definitely a solid band to check out building off Massive Attack

2008-07-01T03:56:00.000-07:00

Me and My Monkey is a Georgia based electronic duo crafting many strong energetic songs. Occasionally some of their beats are on the heavier side and a bit droning but they often change the momentum just as the rhythm becomes monotonous. The tunes are tight and well-engineered layering many beats and melodies as the songs progress. The vocals are mostly spoken as if beats themselves adding a sense of foreboding. Overall they have steady,colorful pulse from beginning to end in most of their music. They are definitely a solid band to check out building off Massive Attack with some slightly more up tempo tunes to their name.

indie electronica band hailing from Tbilisi

2008-07-01T03:55:00.000-07:00

Me and My Monkey is so much more than a self-referring pronoun and an arguably human ancestor. An indie electronica band hailing from Tbilisi, the capital of the Republic of Georgia, MAMM consists of Sandro Chinchaladze on vocals and guitar, and Gocha Bakradze ..boards and guitar. Chinchaladze and Bakradze formed the band in 2006 and have been recording music in their modest home studio while playing numerous gigs in cities across Georgia. With influences ranging from The Beatles, Soundgarden, Radiohead, Sigur Ros, and Beck, to list a few, the MAMM sound combines catchy electronic beats, ambient keyboards, and electric guitar riffs with lyrics dealing with freedom, revolution, identity, and, you guessed it, love. Chinchaladze's echoing, self-assured vocals evoke Beck meets Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan, and lead the melody above textured synth harmonies, giving an effect of a potently filled acoustic space – a welcome concoction for indie-electronic-rock adoring ears. Finding likely inspiration in teenage unrequited love, Chinchaladze first began writing songs at the age of sixteen. Having played drums as a teenager, he now focuses ..boards and guitar. These days, depression and unhappiness prove to be loyal muses for Sandro's songwriting, although he notes that: "London is the main inspiration for me after my girlfriend." She'll be happy to hear that she beat out the capital of the biggest British isle as the creative fuel behind her boyfriend's melody and lyrics. Plans for the release of MAMM's first record Star Fucker are well underway. Until then several demo tracks are available for streaming on MAMM's myspace page. "If you want I'll kill myself, but leave me now, I'm fine" is a loving proposition from If You, a track that seeps melancholic sadness and recalls a barren landscape where hope is all that's left for one to hang on to. The playfully anarchist Forever is a confident declaration of a self-aware bad-boy: "I am I am who I wanna be, I choose the way that I wanna live, I do not mind if you do not like me, I do not care if you do not want me". The hauntingly eerie I Choose To Be talks about growing ambition in the face of social disaster, while the charming synth beats of Post Industrial Boys dance along with Chinchaladze's whispery promises of love, sandwiched between ambiguous mentions of post-industrial boys' subscription and reading preferences. A moniker like Me and My Monkey begs the question of how the band came up with the name. "Someone wrote monkey on my PC on which I make music, and since there was only me and my PC when I started to make this project, I called it Me And My Monkey," Sandro explains. An expectedly random name origin, as band names go, and fortunately, Me and My Monkey is in no way a reference to Robbie Williams' song by the same name. MAMM is releasing their first single It's Coming Back and starting to record their first eleven-track album Star Fucker in one of Tbilisi's major recording studios, Studio 1. As a result of the tumultuous political situation during the last several years, the Georgian economy has only recently begun a painfully slow recovery, which means that financial support for experimental musicians is low in Tbilisi. Two hundred dollars was the maximum amount of money that MAMM has been paid to play a concert in the city. Besides the lack of money to be made, Sandro points out that: "It's very hard to make live music in Tbilisi because there are no places where you can play, like pubs or concert halls, and there are no people who would like to help to promote your music." Despite the odds, MAMM did find an eager manager from Germany. "My manager is German for example - it's because I couldn't find a person in Tbilisi who would have liked to promote MAMM. It makes me a little bit sad, but I would still rather have a German producer than no producer at all, " Chinchaladze jokes. If MAMM's manager is anything like the archetypal methodically precise and efficient German chap, he's bound to do the band a lot of good. Instead of griping about their unfortunate circumstances, Sandro decided to take action to improve the opportunities for indie musicians in Tbilisi. He plans on using future income from MAMM's revenues to create a professional recording studio in Tbilisi. "I want bands like ours to be able to record theirs songs for free and to promote this kind of music in Georgia" Sandro muses. Working hard to advance his musical career in a city that provides little support for up and coming indie musicians can be exhausting. It's no wonder that at the end of the day, after coming home from his day job at a university run publishing house, Sandro refuels his creative juices with a cold beer, hoping that with the release of their first record in six months time, MAMM will gain the exposure it deserves on the international music scene. Having performed at festivals in Germany (Saarbrucken and Frankfurt) and having toured extensively around Georgia, MAMM have their sights set on playing more shows across Europe. Until the release of their first record, their music can find an audience outside of Georgia on their myspace page. So quit monkeying around, have a listen, and give them a shout out to let them know you dig their tunes.You May Contact Us At : MeAndMM@gmail.com

On May 17, the band 'Me and My Monkey' presented their new single

2008-07-01T03:54:00.000-07:00

On May 17, the band 'Me and My Monkey' presented their new single, 'Its Coming Back' at club Cubik Rubik. 'Its Coming Back' comprises three tracks: 'It's Coming Back', 'Standing and Waiting' and 'We are the Monkeys'. The tracks were recorded in May 2008 and mixed at "Studio One". The band's new video, shot by TV station 'Mze', is also included in the CD.
Me and My Monkey is a new band established in 2006 with two members. The band plays indie, electronic or experimental music, and is definitely one of the more active two-man bands in Tbilisi. Following their alternative roots, the Monkeys' new CD is refined, professionally done and effective.
As it is ineffective to describe electronic music in words, I will simply say that Me and My Monkey's music is energetic, sychronic and exciting. The CD "It's Coming Back" was not a disappointment by any means.
Apart from live performances and their website (www.myspace.com/medachemimaimuni), the band has so far had no means to attract a larger audience. Therefore, this first CD was a chance for the band to create a sharp, recognizable image for themselves.
Me and My Monkey's presentation followed the obvious theme; when buying the CD for 10 lari, you got a banana free, and the cardboard CD cover displays a tree. Finally, one of the three tracks says: we are the monkeys. Pretty simple ideas make an impression, work perfectly as codes and bring fun.
If I try to say things as purely as monkeys did, the band has its style, is progressing and knows exactly what and how to do.
The CD is a limited edition, so make sure you get your copy by heading down to 2 Brother Kakabadze St. (in front of McDonald's), 'Planet X' on 26 Kazbegi Ave. and 'Literature Cafe' on 2 Tarkhnishvili St. The CDs will also be available in other shops and online soon. It will also be exported to Germany in the near future.In September, Me and My Monkey will start to work on a new album. So we can expect more from this original band soon.

Band: Me and My Monkey

Members: Sandro Chinchaladze and Gocha Bakradze

Producer: Michael Wiederhold (CaucasusRocks)

Ich habe einen Song „Starfucker" – das wäre dann „Varskvlavt Mtqveneli"

2008-07-01T03:53:00.000-07:00

CR: Tete, erzähle uns etwas über Deine Band?TT: Me and My Monkey wurde als Band 2007 gegründet, davor habe ich bereits solo an dem Projekt gearbeitet, spielte gleichzeitig noch in einer anderen Band, „The Neverland". Die Musikrichtung würde ich als indi-electronica bezeichnen. Die Band besteht aus mir (Sandro – Tete – Chinchaladze) und Gacha Bakradze. Wir haben 2007 unser erstes Video gedreht (Efedrin), jetzt in 2008 das zweite (It's coming back). 2008 haben wir auch unsere erste Single herausgebracht, mit Hilfe unseres Produzenten Michael Wiederhold und seines Labels Caucasusrocks. Die CD enthält 3 Tracks und einen Videoclip, Booklet und ein speziell angefertigtes Limited Edition-Cover. Reinhören und *kaufen* kann man sie auf der Webseite unseres Labels (http://www.caucasusrocks.net/). Zur Zeit arbeiten wir an einem Album, das hoffentlich noch in diesem Jahr herauskommen wird.CR: Habt ihr denn Auftritte in Georgien?TT: Wir treten von Zeit zu Zeit in Tbilissi auf, davor war ich mit dem Solo-Projekt auch in Deutschland, in Frankfurt und in Saarbrücken.CR: In dem Song „We are the monkeys" heißt es „we came out from the trees..." – was bedeutet das?TT: Wir treten in Georgien auf und versuchen, in Europa Fuß zu fassen. Weil Georgien für diese Musik der Dschungel ist. Wir wollen raus aus dem Dschungel, weil wir die Monkeys sind.CR: Wie würdest Du euren Background beschreiben? Mich erinnern die Songs auf der CD ein wenig an die Smashing Pumpkins.TT: Beeinflusst sind wir vielleicht von Radiohead, Sigur Ros oder den NIN. Unser Background ist auf den ersten Blick nicht georgisch. Aber wir sind die einzigen, die so einen Sound in Georgien spielen, das macht uns auf eine Weise speziell georgisch.CR: Ihr singt auf Englisch?TT: Das hat überhaupt nichts damit zu tun, dass ich die georgische Sprache nicht mögen würde. Ganz und gar nicht. In unserem Fall funktioniert das nur nicht; für unsere Musik macht sie keinen Sinn. Ich habe einen Song „Starfucker" – das wäre dann „Varskvlavt Mtqveneli".CR: Eure Songs lassen sich auch aufs Handy runterladen? TT: Wir hatten das Glück, an dieser neuen Technologie teilnehmen zu können. Die Songs unserer CD lassen sich als Klingeltöne oder Mp3 über die lokalen georgischen Mobilfunkanbieter aufs Handy runterladen.CR: Wie ist die Lage für Bands alternativer Musik in Georgien? TT: Die Lage hat sich im Vergleich zu früher wesentlich verbessert. Trotzdem sollte es mehr Möglichkeiten für Auftritte geben. Alternative Musik ist ein neuer Stil in Georgien, das braucht Zeit bis sich das einbürgert.CR: Habt ihr denn Unterstützung vom Publikum?TT: Junge Leute lieben Liveauftritte. Es wäre besser, wenn es noch mehr Bands geben würde. Dann hätten die Leute eine wirkliche Auswahl, die Kultur würde wachsen, die Musik würde wachsen. Du musst den Leuten etwas Neues bieten – und nur Du kannst das leisten. Nach und nach wird diese Szene wachsen, da bin ich zuversichtlich. Je mehr Leute diese Musikrichtung hören wollen, desto mehr Bands wird es geben. Die Qualität der Bands wird steigen, jeder wird sein bestes geben, weil sie untereinander konkurrieren. Das wird auch für die Musikindustrie wichtig werden.Ich möchte noch unseren Partnern Giorgi Gvarjaladze (Studio 1) und Michael Wiederhold (Caucasusrocks) danken. Vielen Dank auch an Sano Records, die die CD gedruckt haben und an Petite, die unser Cover produziert haben.

In the very beginning there was an official profession, which artists usually don't follow

2008-07-01T03:50:00.000-07:00

He is Sandro Chinchaladze (TeTe) – vocals, sound FX, guitar, midi, programming and songwriter – and together with Gocha Baqradze – guitar, midi, FX, keyboards – he is leading the musical project "Me and My Monkey". A couple of recoded songs, one video, no official concerts yet, but intensive work can be counted for the one year old "band".
In the very beginning there was an official profession, which artists usually don't follow, though TeTe's profession didn't exclude the arts at all – he is a film director. However, he prefers music and works in music as a consequence of a decision he made a long time ago. The young guitar player and vocalist managed to go through different projects, worked on typically diverse styles in music and partners and gained a considerable experience by these musical expeditions.
Projects he finds worth mentioning are the folk band "Iberioni" with an interesting (at least verbal) characterization of its distinct form: Celtic-Georgian folk accompanied by classical and acoustic instruments. I didn't really have a chance to test this music, but the description doesn't talk negatively about its makers. Later there was a band "The Neverland ", for which Sandro was a guitarist and vocalist; the band probably deserves a more comprehensive introduction, but not here and now, as much as it will take us too far. Just to put a small info, the band existed until the really recent past, but by far "Me and My Monkey" is the single most active project in which the musician is involved.
To move to the subject more precisely, I should probably need to prove why this band is on this page devoted to progressive contemporary Georgian artists, who make art currently and make it well. The boy shaped out above, seems to be quite talented and enthusiastic. What I actually like about this small community of two is an awareness about their creation, reasonable steps, calm and productive move towards the target. They don't overdo it with experiments and don't suffer from "star syndromes" (ok they are not stars, but not everyone who experiences this disease is really a star). Their music is enjoyably acceptable not only for the rare listeners, easily adopting with innovations and sometimes considering experimental and chaotic as equal, but also common ones who don't go into merges and just like to experience new music. So, consequently, it's sort of polished experimental, having its clear combinative direction with electronic, rock and indie.
In December 2007 the band presented the first video on "Efedrin", which demonstrates drug addiction drugs, but is not for, but against it – being an anti-narcotic act. Despite its few negative points (meaning artistic elements), basically the video is right.
At the present "Me and My Monkey" is working on a single, which will be on sale in the middle of March with a purpose of introduction it to the audience. It contains three tracks: "Efedrin", "Standing and Waiting" and "Its Coming Back". Logically, the way leads to the album, which as the single is going to be recorded in the "Studio One" or simply with George Gvarjeladze.
Gradually, music lovers can't find any extreme arguments against this project, if one doesn't try hard and like to lie. Honestly, it doesn't really have a sense me to discuss all their creative abilities and formulate some bias or subjective interpretations of their art here, as almost the full production of "Me and My Monkey" and the video as well, can be found on internet. You should just visit the nicely designed virtual space of the band, get into details, listen and watch. Follow the link: www.myspace.com/MeDaChemiMaimuni
