Heloise and the Savoir Faire, April, 2008

Ryan Prado — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 21:35:06 +0000

New York City’s Heloise and the Savoir Faire have enjoyed a whirlwind ascension to the peak of the dance-punk scene in 2008. With the impending release of their debut album, Trash, Rats and Microphones, and a major push by both Elijah Wood (via his label Simian Records) and the addition of guest vocals on the new album by Debbie Harry, the group seems unstoppable. Synthesis editor Ryan Prado had the glorious opportunity to chat with the group outside the Omni Hotel in beautiful downtown Austin, Texas, during South By Southwest 2008. What follows is as succinct an interview as you can expect considering that all five members of the band grappled over one measly digital recorder. Rest assured, it looked as great as it sounds…

Pretty and Nice, April, 2008

James Barone — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 23:53:28 +0000

PRETTY & NICE are the four horsemen of pop doom. The glitchy pop quadrangle formed 3 years ago between Burlington, VT and Boston. The group currently resides in a yellow house in Boston preparing to emerge and destroy your life with catchy hooks and bad irony. James Barone of Synthesis.net met up with the guys at this yeats SXSW in Austin, Texas. James didn’t really go into the interview with a gameplan – so the conversation took on a life of its’ own. Here’s 30 minutes of scattered discussion. Listen to the song Grab Your Nets after the interview.

Paz Lenchantin, August, 2007

James Barone — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 19:37:49 +0000

As a member of both Zwan and A Perfect Circle, and with credits on albums such as Queens of the Stone Age’s Songs for the Deaf and VietNam’s eponymous 2007 release, Paz Lenchantin has one of the most diverse resumes in rock. Currently, the talented Argentinian-born multi-instrumentalist has been working on solo projects as well as backing Guy Blakeslee in her new band, Entrance. At this year’s SxSW festival in Austin, Texas, Synthesis met up with Paz Lenchantin on the beautiful grounds of the French Legation Museum, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, where she was taking a moment away from the festival’s chaos to play a game of catch with her dog.
