S supposed to be the most dismal fucking place you can imagine spending the holidays: cooped up in a dingey little flat wi a band of fellow smackheads who had all, completely unplanned but completely expectedly, upped and left their own different little homes aftir conveniently wanting tae go oan a Christmas eve walk tae breathe in the crisp air in an act of good health at the same time, not tae come back till the middle of the night tae whoever they’d lied to in the first place tae get oot. Tryna pass off whitever smack induced quiver they’ve taken thit’s letting them knock everything down in their war path in a nefarious attempt to act as the notorious bearded fucker thit should be climbing in through the chimney later thit night. (God forbid the ones thit go home tae a place wi kids in the house actually staying up tae try n catch a glimpse of the guy in red only tae find their brother or uncle or cousin tae be sneaking in through the backdoor in a total fuckin daze n no even noticing them and their bright peeking kiddy eyes peering oot through their bedroom doors before the fail to be santa collapses as close tae the door as they can, once they’ve made sure they’ve absolutely made it through the threshold of the house.)

The dismal place they’ve come from is dreamy tae me, probably tae the smackheads alike. The aftermath is the grim boxing day of the visit.

Swanney’s place’s got smoke stains seeped so far intae the walls you can hardly tell the colour they were painted in the first place. The respect tae the physicalities of the place went swiftly down from there, once people realised a kick in the wall by an angry punter or whoever had come storming the place was either never noticed or never bothered tae get fixed, totally left fir the dust tae gather; the place became an incoherent art installation fast.

For instance, right now ah lay sprawled oot against a wall, right in the corner, the crevice of the flat where the spiders typically gather and ah squash when ah sit oan them, where if you look up tae the other wall holding you up, just tae the side, and if you squint hard enough, you can just aboot make oot a tree oan it formed from some cunt’s handprints. If you squint harder, muck a few artificial additives intae yir system thit lets you see the wonder in the simplest things, like in a grotty little flat thit stinks of piss and farts and burning, you can pretend the weary stains oan the painted greenery are colourful little specks purposely put there as decoration. They nearly look like ornaments and you can nearly act like Swanney’s taken note of a calendar or the weather outside and dressed the place up for the festivities.

Obviously some artsy fucker came in one time thinking high enough oaf themsels tae start the handy masterpiece but no enough to finish it, it was no work of our Mother Superior, but it’s a tantalising thought tae imagine him wi a bowl of paint and a green hand. The furthest his goodwill extends for the holiday season is not booting you oot immediately once you’ve got your stuff (dependent on how many freaks and geeks had made their way to his place to score likes), not until he runs ootay walls fir the lot tae fall down on does he point tae the door and tell us tae get tae fuck.

Ah was one of the first few tae arrive, see, and ah had the cognisant joy of watching the rest trickle intae the place through a very slow set of blinking eyelids while I masel was in and oot oaf a daze. Ah was well fuckin intae ma experience n well oan ma way down when ah saw Swanney pointing at the door and talking aboot wanting the place clear.

— Ah’m no having any sleepers, Swanney sais. The only reason ah hear thit one, come to consciousness enough tae even register it as a sound directed anywhere in the vicinity oaf me, was through Sick Boy’s stinging voice next tae us near enough fucking pleading tae the fucker.

— Where’s the spirit, Swanney?

— Santy can come kicking down the chimney if he likes, Simon, but he’s no invited either,

Unfortunately, ah’m in no state tae argue, though ah had planned accordingly: tae be a sleeper during the day. Naw a dozer, actually. There was no sleeping, but the dozing state was paramount tae ma festive experience. Ma Rudolph riding time in the sky.

Ah was there at the perfect time tae ride is oot and still have a happy aftermath tae deal wi when ah was tae head back home under suspicion not at all tae be compared tae the likes of those stumbling in ruining the night when they pulled the Christmas tree and bunting, should the household be so inclined tae put it up, down wi them when they came back home and made their bed on the floor. Under no fucking circumstances would Mark Renton be found drooling intae the carpet oan Christmas morning.

Ah stand up without fuss. Simon is still rattling tae the side of me and ah nearly crumble intae the wall which is not at all of my own accord (it is in my best interest tae stay as firmly upright as ah can). Ah nod a see ya tae Swanney n mibbe mumble a happy holidays.

…

– Disnae seem fair is awl ah’m saying, Rents.

Ah nod a simple nod ah’m not at all mentally tied intae.

– Not thit ah care anyways, the cunt.

Ah nod again.

– Ah’ve got a lovely supper awaiting me.

Another fucking nod.

– Baccalà.

Again, ah nod nod nod.

– Cod. A lovely, salted cod. Not thit you’d know anything about thit wi your plea for animal rights.

– Ah’m vegetarian, Si.

– Vege-fucking-whitever, it’s no good fir yir health. Examplo numero uno, he points a cuntish finger tae hissel. Ah don’t know how he has the energy. The strained finger runs from his face and over tae me. – And you.

– Ah just dinnae like the taste.

– S no very à la Christmas is awl ah’m saying. It’s the time tae feast, abbondanza, Rents. Whit, you forcing your poor madre tae cook you thit tofu shite?

Ah don’t know how he has the appetite. Physically for the feast he’s claiming or mentally for the bothering he’s doing tae me. Ah shudder. It’s fucking freezing.

– Ah just eat around the turkey. Potatoes and carrots.

He tsks all better than. – Potatoes and carrots, fucking waste.

He continues but ah keep my arms tucked nicely around ma shaking body as we get tae the bottom of the road and ease the sound of his voice ootay ma heid.

Ah look over ma shoulder and catch a few more people heading outay Swanney’s, ah bet they’re no looking tae dae half as much talking as my solid companion, but I also suspect they’re not exactly people ah’m looking for company from, thit even if they did want tae talk as much as Sick Boy they winnae have half as much tae say. Who the fuck does?

Ah watch as the cold hits them and their arms shoot up too to cocoon themselves in a solitary embrace. Fair few have jackets oan them, thick enough ones are few and far between. Ah have oan ma bomber jacket, far too short and far too fucking thin tae do any good but make it look like ah’ve been existing from my hand-me-downs aged ten. Not so much fabric thit it would make a difference if I had ten of them oan.

The buzzing breaking through the cold turns intae a sharp prod in my arm. Ah look away from Swanney’s wi a scowl back at Si, the proprietor of said prod. – Whit? ah snap belligerently.

– Knew you were no fucking listening, fucking waster.

– Fucking cunt, ah mutter.

It disnae persuade him tae stop, disnae deter the fucker at awl. Ah let him go oan and oan till we make it tae our ain separate crossroads and head our ain separate ways. Wave a merry Christmas and he says something about the meat feast thit is Christmas day, whit his sister’s are cooking, and ah listen politely fir the fact ah cannae be bothered tae tell him how much ah could no care less until he finished up and ah stumble back to Fort Renton.

…

Aftir we got the flat off the housing department oan behalf of our Wee Davie’s various fucking various illnesses, the weeks approaching the end of December were awl aboot making solid attempts tae make it look homely, tae really work wi the tree we’ve had since Billy was born n give Cathy Renton something to focus oan other than when we were getting Davie home and if his bed was ready fir him and who was going to spoon feed him whitever they were planning tae. It was aboot showing how much the place was cared for as if people were watching (which, actually, ah suppose a good few were – the Curran’s a few doors down were hawkeyed and insisting we only kept Wee Davie in our care, living wi us like, until we got the new place tae live free of charge and shipped him oot the second we got the keys as if we’d pawn him off like thit).

This is the first Christmas there’s no really any of thit, even if ah see Mr Curran’s radge fucking face peeping ootay his blinds at us.

The measly tree dinnae go up until the 21st despite attempts from ma faither tae encourage Ma intae it n even when it did go up, she dinnae even really care thit the tinsel was looking the scraggiest it ever had. No thought tae go and get replacements.

Ma faither took the ‘good’ side of the tree n put it facing the front windae, as if people like the Curran’s were actually coming up tae ours and press their faces up on the glass tae see how we were treating the place aftir Davie’s death. Whether we were packing up tae give it up fir someone else who needs it.

Well fuck thit. Finders keepers losers fucking weepers. Ma faither’s intense need tae show the outside world our supposed love and respect fir the holidays, however, left the sight for sore eyes side of the tree fir us tae look at in the living room. He’s been squinting past the plasticy brambles and the shedding metallic tinsel thit’s covering the floor so he can watch the telly in peace fir the past two days and pretending it disnae bother him thit he has tae do it.

The good old Cathy Renton has been sitting desolate as can be oan the settee oan the other side of the room, pretending tae watch the telly and not at awl pretending tae care aboot the tree and lack of quality decor.

S fucking depressing if you ask me. Ah immediately miss Swanney’s when ah step through the door.

– Where’ve you been? Fucking Billy, doss cunt, waiting fir me tae get back. He looks like he’s been sitting in thit chair at the dining table since the moment ah left waiting for a festive confrontation.

– Last minute shopping wus it, son? Ma mother sais from the settee. Ah didn’t see her when ah came in but now thit a look at her ah see the blinking colourful lights off the tree bouncing off her wrinkled face.

Ah weakly present a facsimile of a laugh n a smile. – Something like it, yeah.

– Where’s yir shoppin then? Billy snidely remarks. This gets ma mother’s attention and ah see her brows take tae work and fold inwards at the hapless confusion.

Ah dinnae have the brain power fir this.

– Leave it, ma faither sais contritely from his chair and squints further past the tree. He also looks like he’s been firmly planted there since ah left however many hours ago ah did, glued tae the telly like he has been fir days, avoiding the sincere lack of coughing and the sound of ma mother slapping wee Davie’s back in the next room this year. Doof doof doof doof nae more.

It’s Billy’s bedroom now. The worst noise we’ll get from thit room has already been heard when Sharon, his new burd, comes over.

Fuck if ah’d ever bring a burd round tae muh ma’s house. I eye the fucker, repulsive.

– What? he says, as if he’d been up in ma brain wi ma thinking, as if he had free scope over thit domain. Ah sneer back but pretend it’s a smile because ah know ma’s still watching us outay the corner of her eye. She’s especially sentimental this year. Her two boys, her two wee yins. We’ve been partly trying tae get oan fir the sake of her this year. Course the picky fucker waits till crimbo eve till his resentment towards me rears its ugly head aftir awl the arguments we’ve ignored wi our ma in the room the past few weeks. It’s been bubbling up inside of him just like it has me and ah know he’s looking for the free second tae set up his sniper oan ma forehead.

– Boys, ma faither speaks. Ah look ovir and see he dinnae even do us the grace of looking from the tv. Ah look back at Billy who’s rolling his eyes at us, ah ball up a fist and pretend it’s just me tightening ma grip oan the shopping back ah did no at awl come back wi.

– 10am, ma da sais, – sharp. Mass, back here, dinner oan n eaten then sat back down here round the tv for 3pm.

– Aye, Billy says. The fucking suck up. Wouldnae miss the queen’s talk and a seat right next tae ma faither nodding the fuck along taw whitever the old trout has tae say fir the world. Highlight of their fucking year those ten minutes of insincere spiel wi cases and cases of gold surrounding her are. – Cannae wait.

– Aye, ah say, – riveting stuff. Ah’m always hold ma breath when she pauses fir too long case she keels ovir once n for awl. Christmas day, like, drama of it.

– S pre-recorded, ye dippit. Billy scowls at me. Ah cheer masel on in ma heid. Point Mark Renton.

– Ah know, but…

– Why yis sayin it then?

Ah scowl back. Never fucking mind.

– Please, Ma sais. She’s settled intae the flow of keeping her eyes directly on the glowing screen. Ah cannae quite bring myself tae lean intae thit, Christmas eve wi the family or no.

Ah nod an awright. Billy gets his eyes off me but not at awl before giving me the condescending nod of the century. Ah smile back thit same sneering smile from before and say – Ah’ll be going tae ma room then.

Billy tsks before anyone else gets a word in, ah glower at the side of his head but realise both of the parental figures have decided tae take the goodbye in visually and are looking right at me.

– Bed so soon? ma Da sais. – You’ve just got back.

– Excited for santy, Ma says in faux delight. There’s a dead enjoyment tae her voice thit’s got me thinking she’s been stuck on the lack of a doof doof doof doof in the next room too. Ah go along wi it fir the sake of fragility of any sense of okayness in this household.

– Aye, wanna be up early. Try and catch the man in red in the act.

This seems to appease them, Ma and Da at least. She gives a half-hearted smile and ma faither gives no outward reaction which seems tae be the best case. Billy the fucking bully looks at me fir another second like he knows where the fuck ah’ve been and ah’m sure enough he does, but he lets it settle too so ah sulk off tae the privacy of a closed door.

The locks are long gone but as long as ah act the way ah’m supposed tae when ah’m oan the other side of it, the shorter the times the door gets busted down by Billy or ma faither or wi a tentative knock from muh Ma.

Ah collapse like a lump oan the bed. Thump fucking thump, ah land. Ah close ma eyes and melt intae the fucker.

It’s no long till ah hear the tv switch off. Not too much longer till ah hear Billy slam his new bedroom door shut. Believe me, ah’m glad tae have a box tae masel now, a singular bedroom, not have to listen to the snoring fucker fart himself awake every other night, but ah despise the speed in which he claimed Davie’s room. The soil was fresh on his grave and the air in the coffin was yet to turn stale before he’d started hanging up his clothes in the wardrobe.

Doof doof doof doof doof. Thit was the sound ah used tae drift off to, Davie’s chest being knocked aboot and cleared so he could make it tae the next day. Ah was always surprised he could take such a beating. He always looked so fragile.

Naw, fuck this. Ah’m sooner gonna hear the footsteps of the immortal creep from the north pole tiptoeing across the roof delivering good and peace tae the Renton’s than the doof doof doof again. Ah shut ma eyes tighter, consider moving fir a few minutes tae organise masel enough tae put oan a record, but ah unfortunately spent all ma energy oan behaving as acceptably as possible when ah had entered the home. The rest of it had been spent making a dig at the queen tae piss off Billy in his suck up time wi our Da, who the fuck’s acting like the queen’s speech is the best part of a Christmas day anyways? Fucking idiot.

Ah ball ma hands up and shove them intae ma sockets till ah see stars. Ah have a headache coming oan. Ah let the balled fists fall down ontae the duvet either side of me (thump thump) and ah squint at the far end of ma room and ma green tinny locker turned closet. Ah reckon if ah asked Billy nice enough and gave him the lock fir it, he’d wait fir me to climb in and lock me in there till the 24th turned to the 25th to the 26th. If he were feeling especially nice he’d let me stay in there till the new year passed and he’d simply slide me the odd plate of dinner tae sustain me; let me wither away, but give just enough tinned whatever tae stay alive till ah had some kind of clarity and stopped hearing the doof doof fucking doof reverberating through my skull thit’s no fucking there.

Dear the red man thit would be climbing through our chimney if we had one, may you bring me somewhere cosier and more isolated fir the holiday season. Mibbe tae an undiscovered island, nothing too fancy: a few rocks, a couple palm trees and a coconut fir me tae drink outay. This year may you give me a bit of peace and fucking quiet. Leave me a note tae say yir coming and ah’ll slip outay ma room and leave the windae open a crack fir you tae sneak in through. Kind regards, Mark Renton.

#tbt #this was fun and it ends abruptly ish but it was still fun so idc:)#its like 3300 ish words ?#good job ive decided to write the next instalment in the trainspotting series ur welcome irvine welsh

Interview : La Luz

La Luz after our interview at Le Romandie, though my Olympus Trip 35.

About 2 years after their concert (and our interview!) in Geneva, I was very happy to learn that the girls from La Luz were back in the French part of Switzerland for a show at Le Romandie. I was even happier to learn from their friendly manager Malko (who is also tour managing Fai Baba) that the band was down for another interview with me, and that they even remembered me!

So a few weeks ago, I met Shana, Lena, Alice and Marian a few hours before their show at Le Romandie for a little chat. I ask them about their lives in the US - some of them have since moved out of L.A. - , we talk about their new album Floating Features, the Monkees, Carnivals, the past, the future, and much more.

Many thanks to Malko, La Luz, and the team at Le Romandie for their kindness!

Firstly, I wanted to catch up with you a little. Are you still living in L.A.? I read in an interview that some of you moved somewhere else?

Marian Li Pino: Yeah, Alice and I still live in L.A. together, in the same apartment as before.

Shana Cleveland: I moved out to the country. So I’m living down a dirt road with a bunch of whirl-land now.

Lena Simon: And I moved to Florida- Jacksonville Florida.

Wow! Is it ok when you want to rehearse together?

Lena: Yeah! It’s pretty much the same.

Marian: We’re very far away from each other, but we just rehearse a couple days before a show or before a tour.

I also wanted to know, since it’s not your first European tour, what was your favourite country to tour in? You don’t have to say Switzerland! (laughs)

Marian: I like so many of them! I actually really like going through each one. I don’t think there’s one I don’t like. I don’t have a favorite!

Shana: I think it's different reasons for each country. I really like being in Switzerland because the food is always good, and people are really nice. But that’s kind of true everywhere- I feel like Europeans are really nice in general, they’re very welcoming. The hospitality in Europe is a little more elevated than in the United States.

Lena: Yeah, and that will make us feel more appreciated and respected, like this is our job to move around the countries or whatever.

Marian: They have better social skills! They’re better at interacting and asking questions, being friendly.

La Luz live at Le Romandie, this time with my old canon.

Thank you! (laughs) I’d like to talk a bit about Floating Features as well, if you’re ok with it. How did you decide which songs you would play live? Because when I heard the first song, Floating Features, it sounded like an intro, and I could imagine you playing this song at the beginning of your set.

Marian: Good job, yeah! That’s what we do! You win! (laughs)

Shana: We pretty much play all of them live, except for one that we couldn’t figure out how to play live... before it was time to go play the songs live. (laughs) I’m not saying we’ll never do it! But yeah, we pretty much worked out all of them live. We added a couple things, Lena is doing some extra percussion like tambourine with her foot, and there’s a sampler. Alice was normally playing two keyboards on this tour, but the airline lost one of them. So it’s just little ways that we’re trying to fill it out live.

Marian: I think it’s actually a lot when you put it all together. Because the album has so much extra going on in it, that it would have felt like we weren’t doing it justice if we didn’t try to do it live. I wouldn’t have known what to do. Lena was the one that programmed Alice’s keyboard, worked out the sounds for it. She got the sampler pad, and she basically added so much extra that we needed for the songs to sound as good as they sound on the album. There’s only one song we can't play live, which I wish we could- Lonely Dozer. We can’t play it on this tour because she’s missing some stuff.

Aaaw I liked this one!

Everyone: Aah, we’re sorry! (laughs)

No it’s okay! It’s my second favourite!

Marian: What’s your first favourite?

The last song on the record-

Marian: Don’t Leave Me on the Earth?

Yes!

Lena: We’ll play that one!

Nice! I also wanted to talk about the video for Mean Dream. Was it your idea, or did you work with someone else for the concept?

Shana: Both, I think we had the idea of doing a video that made the cover come to life, so that was the beginning of the idea. And then we worked with Ryan Browne, who directed the Cicada video too. He had this idea- there's this video in the Monkees’s movie Head - one of the best movies of all time in my opinion – there's a scene where Davy Jones is wearing black, and the background is white, and it goes back and forth.

Aaah I haven’t seen it yet! I love the Monkees! I’ve watched the TV series but not this movie.

Shana: Urgh, you’re so lucky you haven’t seen it! You’ll get to experience it for the first time! I’ve seen it about a zillion times! But this video is so great, it’s called... Daddy’s Song! (laughs). It goes back and forth between black background and white suit, black suit and white background. So Ryan was like, “I was thinking of doing this thing from Head”, and I was like “Oh my God, yeah let’s rip off that video!”. And it’s different, because it’s got all these props that we used on the cover that were designed by this artist, Lauren Corden in Oakland. We shot the cover, and we shot that video on the same day. A reeeally long day!

youtube

Can we talk about my favorite song Don’t Leave Me on the Earth then? I read in several interviews that in some songs the lyrics were about Shana’s dreams, but I haven’t read much about this one.

Shana: Yeah, that one... it wasn’t really a dream that I had, but to me – and I don’t know if it comes across at all in the song – it was set at a night-time carnival. That’s one of my favourite places to be because it just feels like you’re on a different planet, with all the lights, the smell of fried foods and the music... It’s just sort of loosy and dreamy. So in my head that song was set at a carnival, waiting to be taken away by aliens. (laughs)

I now have a deeper question. You started back in 2012- Now that you have more experience being musicians, that you have toured a lot, moved places and got older, what would you tell yourselves from back then if you could meet them?

Lena: Phew... That is a deeper question!

Shana: I feel like I wouldn’t want to ruin anything for my younger self. My first thought was “Maybe I could tell myself that we ended up recording an album with Ty Segall, or that I became friends with Shannon and the Clams!”. Those are things that would have made me really excited, but I also don’t want to ruin any surprises. As far as advice though, I don’t think there would be anything because I feel like it’s been pretty cool.

Alice Sandahl: I would tell myself, “what the fuck are you doing, keep practicing!” (laughs)

Shana: Yeah, I remember the first couple of shows, you played with a phazer all night!

Lena: Yeah, we were like “Alice, get cooler gear!” Well, you have gotten cooler gear. We all did actually! I don’t think there are a lot of regrets or mistakes that we’ve made, so it’s hard to think about advice that we would really give.

Marian: I would tell myself to freaking practice with a metronome more, to calm down during recording- because all of the recordings are way fast because I was stressed out. I would have told myself to smoke weed during the recordings! (laughs) I always play slower when I’m stoned, so that would have helped. I can’t listen to our past recordings, but with Floating Features I can listen to myself. And it’s because I was stoned! (laughs) The producer made me really stoned the whole time! He was always giving me weed.

I can imagine you in the booth, and then there’s this random hand giving you a joint!

Marian: But that’s what he would do! He would just show up and be like, “okay, here!” So that’s why I would tell myself to do that.

What can we expect from La Luz in the future?

Shana: Hopefully onward and upward! We’re focused on this album. When it’s in the middle of a long tour, it’s hard to think about the future further than the current tour.
