Abafazi abanobundlobongela.(Ifoto: Herman Ash) Ingoma ethandwayo yinto ekhohlisayo. Wonke umbhali weengoma unethemba lokufumana ubuncinci. Kwaye nangona inokubathengela indlu entsha (okanye ngaphezulu njengesithuthuthu kwezi ntsuku kuthathelwa ingqalelo inqanaba leemvumi ezihlawulwayo ngokukhuphela) ukubetha kuhlala kuyinto ye-albatross ekuhambeni kwexesha.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuba iqela le-hip linokuba njani kwiminyaka yabo yokuqala, ngokuqinisekileyo bajongana nengxaki yokubetha eludongeni kulandela impumelelo yomzimba abaphulaphuli babo abalindele ukuwuva ngalo lonke ixesha benyuka inqanaba. Kukho amaxesha amaninzi kuphela ukuba nabani na angadlala into efanayo kwaye ayigcine i-spark yayo yentsusa.
Ukunyaniseka kukwabonakala kukhulu. Thatha uMick Jagger, inkwenkwezi ye-rock ye-septuagenarian ye-multi-millionaire ehlaba ngokukrakra (andikwazi ukufumana akukho) Ukwaneliseka okanye uGordon Gano Abafazi abanobundlobongela , ngoku i-53, ndicela lo mbuzo, Kutheni ndingenakukufumana nje kube kanye?
Ngelixa kubonakala ngathi kuyintlekisa, le ngoma isavusa umgqumo wobumbano kwisihlwele sabafazi. Olo phawu lovelwano olungathandekiyo aluqwalaselwanga nje kuphela kwisihlwele sabantu abakwishumi elivisayo abakhathazekileyo ngokwesondo kodwa ukusuka kwi-50- kunye ne-60-somethings ngeenqwelo moya ezibuyayo kunye nesisu esiqhushumbayo, nabo baphinde bazifumana bejamelene ne-conundrum efanayo.
Kudala ndicinga ngale ngoma mva nje, uGano uxelele uMbonisi. Ndandiselula xa ndandibhala. Kodwa liphela nini ixhala lesini? Ke kuye kwathi ukuba ndibenobomi obude ngakumbi kunokuba bendicinga.
Ngelixa sikumxholo wokuguga, sele kuyiminyaka eli-16 okokoko abantu ababhinqileyo abakhupha icwecwe elipheleleyo.
Okwethutyana kubekho iindidi ngeendidi zeeprojekhthi ezizodwa ezivela kuGordon Gano noBrian Ritchie, amagqwirha adumileyo afikile ahamba, kubandakanya ilungu lokuqala uVictor DeLorenzo, kunye nesimangalo esibi ngo-2007 phakathi kukaRitchie kunye noGano owaphuma ngenxa yokusetyenziswa kocingo lwabo olubi Iblister kwilanga kwintengiso kaWendy.
Ngo-Epreli 2013, ii-Femmes zangcwaba i-hatchet kwaye zadlala iCoachella kunye nezinye iigigs eziphezulu. Kwiminyaka emibini kamva bakhululwa Nyakhomtsha i-EP ebonakalisa ukuLungela / ukungabikho kwanto, ngokungathandabuzekiyo yeyona ngoma ingcono yolutsha olungasasetyenziswanga ukusukela kwi-Beck's Loser kunye neLuthando Uthando Uthando olufanise ukutyeba okungathethekiyo kobuntu kungabikho nto ngaphandle kokungalingani kwemichiza kubuthathaka bengqondo.

Ukusukela ukukhutshwa kwecwecwe labo lesithathu, Iimfama ezikhokela abahamba ze ngo-1986 (apho i-Femmes, eveliswa ziiNtloko zeNtetho zikaJerry Harrison, iqale yaqala ukolula imida yesimbo sayo sokutyikitya) iqela liye lasokola ukubuyisa ibhola ekhawulezayo. Ngelixa uMculo waseMelika kunye neeNightmares zikhulu, iingoma ezibambekayo ngemigangatho yakhe nabani na, abagxeki kunye nabalandeli ngokufanayo banenkani ngokuthelekisa nantoni na i-Femmes abayisebenzisayo ukuya kwii-albhamu zabo zokuqala.
Nokuba balwe njani bodwa okanye ukuba iiprojekthi zabo zodwa bezingaqikeleleki kangakanani, abalandeli babo bahlala bethembekile. Ngapha koko, iqhubekile nokukhula kuphela. Ngokuvela kukaFemmes Umdlalo weLate Nge-24 kaFebruwari, bejola noStephen Colbert kwiBlister kunye nokukhutshwa kwabo kulandelayo, Singenza Nantoni na , Ibhendi ngoku iphakathi kokubuya okunzulu.
I-albhamu entsha iqhuba umdlalo weengcambu zomculo waseMelika ngaphezulu kwayo nantoni na esele siyenzile ukusukela oko Umhlaba Ongcwele , Watsho uRitchie. Isibeka kumxholo wokugcina umculo waseMelika ukusuka kwirock yangaphambi kwepunk. Iingoma, njengesiqhelo, zijongana nokugula ngengqondo, intelekelelo kunye nokwabelana ngesondo, kodwa mhlawumbi ngombono okhule kancinci. Kodwa hayi kakhulu!
Ukuthetha ngobuhlanya, icwecwe elitsha likhatshwa ngu, Imemori, efumanekayo, kunjalo hayi umhobe kwiAlzheimer emva kwayo yonke loo nto.

Ndiyibhalele enye kwi-30s yam, ndijonga emva kwi-20s yam, ndicinga ukuba izinto ziya kuba ngcono ngokuguga, watsho uGano.
'Singenza Nantoni na' yenye yeengoma ezindala kwi-albhamu, ndiyibhale phantse kwiminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo. Ekuqaleni yayiphefumlelwe yikhathuni umhlobo ayenzayo. Ingoma yebali, efana neNgoma yokuFa kwelizwe. 'Ayinanto yakwenza nam. Ndiyibhalile nje kwaye ndibalisa ibali leBongo lokubulala inyoka. Abahlobo bandixelela ukuba baneminyaka emi-3 ubudala badanise kwaye bayicule. Ingoma elungileyo yabantwana kufuneka ibe yinto abantu abadala abanokuyonwabela nayo. Kodwa yingoma enzima ukuyidlala, indlela etshintsha ngayo ukusuka kwezinkulu ukuya kwezincinci.
Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, kulungile ukuva ibhendi izonwabisa kakhulu.
'Imiba' yayiyintsebenziswano enkulu, uhlobo lweseshoni yokubhala ingoma engaboniyo noKevin Griffin [ovela ku-Better Than Ezra] noSam Hollander. U-Kevin wayenolutshintsho kwi-chord kunye nakwimigca emibini yokuqala, ibali elalixela ingoma yayingam. Ingoma ixelela ibali elifutshane eliza ne-twist ekugqibeleni.
Ngelixa sikumxholo wokujija ngobuqhophololo, yintoni isivumelwano ngeBig Car?
Ngaphakathi kwebhendi, 'Imoto Enkulu' yenze eyona mpikiswano iphambili phantse kuzo zonke iingoma zabafazi abanobundlobongela. Umntu uhlala ekufumene engamkelekanga ngenxa yento eyenzekayo ekugqibeleni, utshilo uGano ehleka. Kodwa kufana nefilimu yeCohen Brothers apho wonwabela khona imovie kodwa ke kukho le nto yothusayo, njengokufumana intloko ebhokisini ( UBarton Fink ) okanye kukho ingxolo yokugaya kwaye kukho eli gazi kwaye omnye wabalinganiswa unenxeba kwi-chipper wood ( Fargo ). Izinto ezinje zenzeka kwiimuvi ngalo lonke ixesha. Ke kutheni kungenakwenzeka kwiingoma?

Siqala ukusebenza njengoko besifanele ukuba kwasekuqaleni kwaye satsiba izinto zeshishini lomculo, utshilo uRitchie.
Ndibona okuninzi okunokubakho kwiqela. Izinto ezindikhuthaza ngokwam ngoku malunga neFemmes ngabaphulaphuli abatsha, uluhlu olukhulu lweemvumi kunye neemvumi ezisencinci ezikhule ngokwazo kunye nabafazi (igubu elitsha uJohn Sparrow kunye no-saxophonist uBlaise Garza, kunye ne-veteran multi-instrumentalist / i-utility infielder / umlimi yediski entsha, uJeff Hamilton) ezimeleyo kwaye ebeka ezethu iirekhodi kunye nesimo sengqondo se-DIY ngemveliso yethu kunye nobugcisa bokugubungela. Kwakhona ukujonga ngaphandle nokubona ubuso obuncinci abanokusibona okokuqala okanye nakwikhonsathi yabo yokuqala konke konke. Oko kusigcina kwizinzwane zethu. Igunya lokugungqa. Sigcina izinto ezindala zintsha ngokubandakanya ukuphuculwa kwento yonke esiyenzayo. Lowo ngumahluko phakathi kwethu namanye amaqela eepop okanye amatye.
Kule minyaka isitulo se-Femmes sigcinwe liqela labadlali beengoma, beqala ngo-Victor DeLorenzo oncedise ukwenza isandi sokuqala seqela ngokwazisa iinkonkxa ezahlukeneyo kunye namabhakethi awathi wawabiza ngombongo i-tranceaphone kunye ne-stompatron.

Isiko eliqatha liyaqhubeka nokongezwa kwangoko kwe-Weber grill kwi-arsenal ye-sonic ye-Femmes. Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo eli qela belisenza umboniso bhanyabhanya kumboniso kamabonwakude waseMontreal xa uBrian Ritchie ehlola umpheki wamalahle kwikona yesitudiyo awacebisa ukuba kudlalwe uJohn Sparrow. Kwavakala kamnandi! Ungqatyana wayenomdla. Yayinecangci lokukhwela elifana
Ngaba abantu ababhinqileyo abanobundlobongela baya kuyitshisa i-grill eqongeni kwaye badlulise iibrats kunye nezinja ze-tofu kwisihlwele saseBrooklyn? Ngeke wazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni eqongeni kunye nabafazi abanobundlobongela, utshilo uJohn Sparrow esazi.
Abafazi abanobundlobongela bazakuvela njengenxalenye yeProspect Park Celebrate eBrooklyn Series ngoJuni 18 kulandela ukuvulwa okwabekwa nguKirsten Hirsch ngo-7: 30 ebusuku. Kungenwa simahla.
