Chinch Concert in Tocka
|
On 15 January (Saturday)
in 21.00 in the Cultural center Tocka the Belgrade based bend
Chinch will held a concert. The second Chinch CD "Attitude" was
published by Kontrapunkt and Templum as supplement of the magazine
"Margina". This regional cultural event is part of the project
"Confluent Margins" of the NGO Kontrapunkt supported by Swiss Agency
for Developement and Cooperation. |
 Chinch recently got a new violin player Srdjan Stojanovic, thus
regaining some of the spirit of their early works. They will also
have an interesting slide-show as a background to the gig. Beside
their usual repertoire, Cinc will perform 5 workers' songs composed
to the lyrics written by poets of various land and time: Villon,
Pound, Bunting, Wayman and Buggini.
Band History - What Chinch say about themselves:
Our name doesn't mean "Commander in Chief".
It should not be pronounced as sink, as you probably
think.
It should be pronounced as chinch, which is a cinch to learn.
It also doesn't have anything to do with chinch bugs.
It is merely a sound.
We exist since 2001. We are based in Belgrade, Serbia, former
Yugoslavia (also known as Yugoslovakia). They say that we are a
brand new thing in Serbian music. Actually, we are rather a brand
new thing in Hungarian music.

We had gigs at: "Milutin Bojic" library; National library ,
Belgrade, Novi Sad, Ruma, off programme of Ring Ring festival, 2003;

An excerpt from a review by Danica Minic
 ...This is, above all, a humour that, in cabare manner, connects
sentiments, social stuff, childhood and shit. Usually consisted of
language stripes, musical poetry of Cinc recycles and
archives our intimate memories in language: people's and poets'
words, conversations, bizarre, bump words - rare examples, musical
lecture, movies, pictures on the wall - places, cities, titles,
traveling, slang, quotes, sentiments, calembours. Since words like
Canada, bullet, weed, chetnik, Al Kaida, Marakana, Sarajevo,
Chinese, 200 bucks... are also part of this memory, these songs
sometimes have a very subtle social meaning. Your house nourished
you, your state nourished you... If they float around one's
inner thoughts, unaware of their own existence, holiday and army
songs, čschoolbooks and rubbish, cream commercials in Slovenian,
this is their thesaurus that processes your files.
