WE NEED SURGERY - electro indie band
JOIN us and ENJOY the music
We Need Surgery isn’t exactly your average hometown-buddies-start-a-band band. It took five guys from five corners of the earth to collide in Korea to make it happen. Then you have to factor in nine brutal (broke/wet/cold) but ultimately triumphant months in Vancouver, a video shooting hiatus in Tokyo, and their explosive debut album. WNS began on a Wednesday in January 2007 when Valentino Avignoni joined in on a few jam sessions with the band SunRadio – composed of Canadian vocalist Miso Stefanac, American drummer Brandon Butler and Canadian bassist Adam Brennen. Once the group agreed on their desire to tailor songs designed to make girls dance, they called themselves We Need Surgery. In that first night the band wrote their songs “Simon Says”, “Sisters and Brothers”, and “Go Go Go” – all on the debut release – with about four other electro-dance tunes. That following Friday, the band had their first gig. Clearly, they had some precious chemistry— the instant success of the first show was to start a new wave of “indie electro rock” in Seoul and also to set the band’s new musical vision in stone. By winter of 2010 the band decided to go to North America and go for a record deal and spread their music to the west. Because of Canada’s slightly longer visa for the non-Canadians, Vancouver became the band’s new home, where they holed up together in an apartment and dedicated themselves to the business of selling their brand of music to a record companies and an all North American audience. Within two months We Need Surgery found themselves the subject of much blogging and speculation and in a tug-o-war between the two most prominent labels in the city. The band had already put three tracks in the can with well-known local producer “Futcher” (courtesy of a local record exec), including the spiky “Time to Unwind” and the hooky “Simon Says”. After getting We Need Surgery to sign on the dotted line, Light Organ Records went and stuffed the five-piece in Vancouver’s Armory Studios with legend Dave “Rave” Ogilvie and Fake Shark! Real Zombie! main man Kevvy Maher for another seven tracks—including the retro-future death disco of “Just like a Lion” and “Sisters and Brothers”, and the animal nitrate-juiced first single “Go Go Go,” a song that seems to explore the territory between the Killers and Hot Hot Heat. Not insignificantly, a wildly impressed Steve Bays elected himself to mix the entire album. On “She Told Me,” We Need Surgery came up with something that sounds like NY legends, Television, attempting to play country music, while another three self-produced tracks recorded in Korea— “Cocoon”, “Stranger”, and “Gotta Be This Way”—all fit seamlessly into the mix. With its slightly rough edges and energetic grooves, WNS conjured an album that bridges the gap between angular pioneers Gang of Four and modern practitioners like Bloc Party. In 2011 the band moved to Tokyo while waiting for their album to be mixed, mastered and released and they made their first promotional video for Go! Go! Go!, The video was directed by Takero Okubo and produced by Motoki Yamaguchi of Space Shower TV. 2012 found the band in Vancouver writing material for their next album during the summer and release of the album in Sept. We Need Surgery is currently preparing for a 2013 tour and major North American (and hopefully Japan) festivals.
