If I Had One 04:14
I’m without my guru tonight I’m lost with anyone My taboo is an empty head That sum it up Sum it up, it sum it up Money on my pack Cyclic back where you belong Not a long way back Choose and choose, searching a decision Which choice is the right reason If I had one The stars, the moon, all the memories The news and you, controls my satisfaction If I had one
2.
Pere Ubu 03:52
Ubu lives in nowhere city The fool wants the crown to looks so pretty Mamma tells how do a deathblow Captain of dragons is like us below No one dare argue with the stinky Eats the whole banquet without a pity yeah Fat fellow drinks french wine Fat fellow it’s a big malign He takes the throne then kills everyone So full of greed, spoiled son Stupid king, is overdone Oh yeah oh yeah Pere Ubu
3.
Cowboy 02:36
Wonder whether We could take one more ‘Cause all we do is sleep And wait the cowboy knock the door Please don’t touch me Get a grip I got a pain on my neck That never let me sleep But I don’t mind So do it We don’t mind Cause we know he will come
4.
I don't see a leader now Well I’m not looking for someone Who’s gonna show the real one Who’s searching and destroy All, all the suffering's about when the time will come All, all I do, belive it Someday, somehow All, All the suffering's about When the time become, waiting the time become All, all I do, belive it Someday somehow, somewhere, somehow Little away, appears silhouetted Smokes brings memories Acting became ordinary Freeze the spontaneity
5.
Fuzz 04:32
More than thousand flies looking at you One by one saring at me So many thoughts run through my mind Too much sugar in my head All the fuzz that it does There's a fuzz behind us More than thousand spoons marching over you I need to run far away from here It's crowd willing to push It's crowd ready to crush And the buzz that it does There`s a fuzz behind us
6.
She Came So 03:51
She came so excited She became so a nightclubing Mightily Smiling and talking , she loves her She's out of control How she wants Be touched by her How she wants Keep it on How she wants To be free She came so excited Dilighting by her She became so a nightclubing Mighttily Smiling and talking, she loves her She's out of control She came so excited She came so
7.
Take It 02:50
Moonlight light all over your head You need to run back to your bed And feel safe but not garanteed The dreams don`t get off your head Can you try to set free from your creed You got to down down to get down on it Feeling up, up from here The sun will going down Let yourself know what it matters Not get everything you need Take it Moonlight light
8.
Crow 02:39
Won’t you come outside? We’re waiting here Don’t you want come out hear the crow? Just passing by Nevermore Louise Will be your guide Tell me tell me Might be later yeah Prophet is waiting It’s gonna be great yeah Nevermore maiden
9.
The One 04:07
You could be the one When live is strange I thought you might be the one that went away You could be the one should have seen you last night the storm came down to the sand you were so excited talking about her could be the one love for anyone will be the one for me anytime You could be the one The way you laugh Stolen stolen heart Don't look back Don't look back You will see yourself there Don’t look back Talking about her That she's doing very well
10.
Bleeding 02:42
I’m on the street and bleeding I heard the beat on the night yeah Get down on my knees something’s going wrong I get on my knees has something go wrong It’s vulture boo yeah And get me higher and higher
11.
Fiction 04:58
I am a fiction Created by you Inveted by you Life is deceiving I am a fiction Created by you The poet rather die Than got nothing more to write Life is deceiving I am a fiction Created by you Inveted by you Life is deceiving I’m just someone in life Just because of you Feel like a strange My live in a dazy I’m going nowhere I’m a fiction

about

Formada pelos brasileiros Gustavo Riviera e Paulo Kishimoto da banda Forgotten Boys e pelo americano Steve Shelley do Sonic Youth, a Riviera Gaz apresenta o álbum de estreia “Connection” em CD, LP e K7. Lançamento da gravadora Hearts Bleed Blue (HBB), o álbum chega às lojas e plataformas digitais em 8 de junho.

A banda, como descreve o baterista Steve, é “internacional e multirracial” e por este motivo, “Connection” precisou de três sessões para tomar forma. Na primeira foram gravadas quatro músicas - Pere Ubu, Take it, Crow e Cowboy que também aparecem no EP “Pere Ubu” (2016). As duas outras sessões de gravação aconteceram quando o trio estava em turnê. “Todo o processo foi legal, foram gravações diretas, sem enrolação e a mixagem do John Agnello representou muito bem isso. Vamos funcionando cada vez mais engrenados, mas o resultado do disco é bem coerente”, diz o vocalista e guitarrista Gustavo.

O álbum, repleto de referências culturais, tem o título e a faixa Cowboy inspirados no filme “The Connection” (1961) de Shirley Clarke, baseado na peça do Jack Gelber. Pere Ubu, uma das primeiras músicas a serem gravadas, teve como inspiração o texto de Alfred Jarry, “Rei Ubu”. A capa de “Connection” conta com um trabalho do artista plástico Hudinilson Jr. (1957 - 2013). No entanto, as influências musicais que passam por The Kinks, T.Rex, Velvet Underground, Ramones, Beatles e Rolling Stones, também aparecem no álbum de estreia do Riviera Gaz. If I Had One, faixa que fala de desesperança, segundo Gustavo foi pensada para soar como Ramones, mas depois foi se transformando. “Foi a última música composta pro disco, está fresca e revela a energia que a banda está”, diz. Já “Bleeding”, com influências de The Kinks e The Stooges, foi composta praticamente no estúdio durante a gravação. “Tinha a base, decidimos algumas coisas, deu um balanço bom e gravamos. Essa música pra mim é a cena final de um filme, ambientada nos últimos momentos da vida, meio confuso, a morte chegando”, revela Gustavo.

A turnê de divulgação de “Connection” acontece nos meses de junho e julho na America do Sul e deve passar pelas principais cidades brasileiras. “Estamos felizes em lançar o nosso novo disco e tocar ao vivo mais uma vez no espírito de amor e compreensão entre pessoas de todos os lugares”, afirma Steve.
