What I want from Chief Tizo

I have been sitting on this idea for a while now, tossing it back and forth in my mind and finally this is going to be the great reveal. Sorry Bryan if this turns out complete shit.

Last week I started watching a ton of Punk documentaries. One of the documentaries that inspired me the most was "Kill Your Idols" ,which documented the No Wave scene in New York during the late 70s and the early 80s. The thing that interested me the most was the not only the bands (Swans, DNA, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Suicide and Sonic Youth) ,but also the philosophy of the scene.

The main philosophy of the scene was to make music with no influences. They did this because punk was turning convoluted filled with the same cancerous tumors that they were against. Bands were still using the same chords that was used in Chuck Berry songs just sped up. There was no more real revolt in punk anymore, everyone were caring about was fashion and violence.(Basically A Clockwork Orange just not as cool)

Today music is pretty stagnant there is no real revolutionary thing going on. In the mainstream people are using the same basic beats taken from clubs, the Black Eye Peas are using 80s choruses, mainstream rock is all really just bad Foo Fighter wannabes or just basic indie rock which is just emotionless post-punk. The underground indie scene is also in nearly the same place it always been, underground. The problem about the underground rock scene is that it is so claustrophobic that there is no more real flow of new ideas. In the end you get the same basic drum beat, the same shitty bass line, the same jangly guitars; nothing new, nothing innovative. All of the indie bands just want to be other bands, they either want to be My Bloody Valentine, Joy Division, the Beatles or the Smiths; no one wants to express a different point of view no one wants to show anything new.  We don't need another indie band that bangs on their guitars and mindlessly mumbles incoherent babble and become known as the best thing that happened to indie rock. (Wassup Strokes?)

We need a No Wave kind of revolution. We need to have bands that are dirt poor playing different  instruments they barely know how to play. What happened to trumpets, what happened to saxophones what happened to those obnoxious vuvuzelas; rock is not only focused on just guitar, drums and bass get something new like a bike pump or a bugle.  We need more experimentation, more innovations and less copies. We need more progression in music as a whole and less regression.

Therefore, what I want from Chief Tizo is a electronic venue for the bands of the "Nope Wave", the new No Wave. I want to use this blog to showcase unusual music from different bands and artist that are not just a rehash of Joy Division ,but something different and more innovative than them. I want to have a small era of completely new ideas all created from cynical people.
