Una decade fà, usciva Dancing for Decadence strepitoso album dei The Sainte Catherine’s, unico Lp rilasciato da casa madre Fat Wreck Chords per una band Franco Canadese. Per l’occasione l’illustrissima etichetta ha ri-rilasciato in vinile rosso Dancing for Decadence in un numero di copie limitate a 548. Per chi fosse rimasto indietro nell’acquisto di questo gran bell’album può chiedere ammenda ordinandolo direttamente sul sito della Fat Wreck (qui) Come special bonus, nell’ LP è compreso una scheda per il download completo dell’album in demo, oltre ad una manciata di brani dal vivo.
Ecco quanto dichiarato da Hugo Mudie, vocalist dei The Sainte Catherines ‘ in merito a Dancing for Decadence:
This is THE album that we are proud of and that we are remembered for. We wanted to do a pissed off record about what we discovered through the years about the punk rock scene. It was really a “fuck you” album and then it became our most popular one, which is kind of funny. Here in Québec, Fat Wreck is very respected and Fat Mike is like God. People couldn’t understand that a band from Québec were now part of that. It was funny to us, cuz we come from a very different place, more of a DIY, old school, squat scene. For us it was new and weird to see the sea of Lagwagon t-shirts at our shows right after the release was announced. But believe me, we loved every second of it. We had fun with it and we are very grateful to have been part of it for a little while. Playing those songs again live will be amazing! It’s gonna bring me back to a time where nothing else in the world existed. It was me and the boys against the world and this was the soundtrack. We were hungry and angry and better looking. We were high on drugs and low on cash, but damn it was fun. I would do it all over again. That’s pretty much what we’ll do this summer playing the album front to back. High on love and not as low on cash… with our kids waiting at home…
