DOIN' A JAM

The sun sinks into the sea, how did we get here, what is this we're doing here, where are we?

Mediterranean, middle earth beyond the fortress and its walls, an island in the middle of the Mediterranean sea, the middle of nowhere.

Decades of heavy thinking, years of ever changing ideas, a whole summer to explore, finally the time has arrived, the place was found, to do what we're doing here, to do what we set out to do, now here we are... doin' a jam.

No road leads to this place, float or fly, the sun has painted red and purple all of the sky.

It all started years ago, decades of predominantly cranked Black Sabbath, Jimmy Hendrix, 13th Floor Elevators, Melvins, Funkadelic, Sonics, Stooges, May Blitz, Nick Drake, Jefferson Airplane, Sonic Youth, Black Flag, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, Dinosaur Jr., Led Zeppelin... and finally Kyuss have lead the way ever further from the main road, the straight one. Lost in twisted and crooked turns. At first there was the idea of a place somewhere on a coast to host the kindred spirits passing through, then the place turned into a camp and eventually it all boiled down to getting together free from ties to the stiff world.

The dreamers, wizards, raiders, weirdos, bros bring them all together make them fly and let the word of mouth travel.

That was the idea, that is the idea. That's how it started.

So what is this all about, well it's about performing music in the open, in the free spaces of nature, no stage or anything like that and it's about creating new music not in a studio but in the garden or under the veranda next to the barbecue. It's about blending the two parts in a week's time, exchanging ideas and constructing an architecture of new sounds streaming from the mind and naturally provided visuals.

The mates, the bros, the islanders they all were already there, picked up Brant as the ship from the main land arrived. Drove through the island past lakes and ancient towers, fertile planes and coastal swamps up the mountains down to the coast. Time to get behind the table in the garden shade, have a glass of this simple and honest red wine, sweet fruits and wait for mama to bring her home made pasta.

Enjoy the meal and then relax, there's plenty of time.

Grab the deck and ride down to the beach, have a swim or cruise on the low rider and then a quick tour to the holy well and up the dune, what you say. Dude this is where we gotta play.

We will.

Time to rock. It was a blast, not much else to say, just check out the pictures.

The day after was all about record playing, story telling and jamming, making up new songs under palm trees with your feet in the sand.

This was only the beginning, this was DUNAjam 2006.
