ACTUAL PAIN: After only releasing tapes for so long, is weird to put out something on vinyl?
TOBIAS BURCH: It feels great. I released tapes because that’s what I could afford, but I feel very grateful that someone would take the time and money to do an LP of my music.
I really like your artwork on all your releases. Where do you find the source images?
Most of the images are from old books. Both front and back of the LP are old anatomy illustrations.
Visually, and musically, I’m inspired by the time just before the industrial revolution. Right as we were unwrapping the gift that was to be our doom. A time when it took years to travel across the country. So I try to use images that evoke that era.
You seem like a jolly fellow. Would you describe your self as a happy person? Or does all this doom ever just bring you down?
I’m very jolly. I’m not sure I would say happy though. I love to have a good time, but the reality is the world is a very negative place. Here in the NW we live comfortably, but our comfort is constantly teetering on the brink. That dosen’t bother me though, I accept it.

I hate movies with characters who have a prolonged, greying illnesses, normally it’s not fun to watch. Linkeroever (Left Bank) does it right. Along the lines of Rosemary’s Baby Left bank has a funny, gross, and horrific style of portraying a Pagan Cult at it’s worse. Maybe because it’s Belgian, it’s a whole lot scarier than most movies that try and pull off the same thing. To top off the great perfomance by Eline Kuppens as Marie the vomiting, hairy legged athelete (you’ll see, it’s awesome and gross), Director Pieter Van Hees does his best David Lynch impersonation, without directly ripping off any of his movies.

“Blacknuss is an independent editorial project by Giorgio Di Salvo which aims at bringing together a limited but well-chosen number of artists who are drawn to the book’s unifying theme: darkness. In other words: abjection, sadness, gloom, despair, horrifying pain, depression, anger, rage. Basically: all that is dark in the world.
The authors involved for the first part of this project are Erik Brunetti of FUCT, Marco Klefisch from milanese design firm Marte, Le Messie of False, italian illustrator Scarful, TJ Cowgill of Actual Pain, Luca Barcellona, Pane from italian art collective Why Style, and Giorgio Di Salvo from VNGRD.
Blacknuss is published in a very small run (100 numbered copies) and is completely hand made in Italy. Every copy comes packaged in a custom sleeve with an additional booklet.”
So I have this little satanic folk band called king dude and we are playing a show this Friday night at the comet tavern. Please come, it would be great to see our friends there.
This will be one of our first shows in almost a year, but we are also playing another show in december at Spencer’s shop, the Anne Bonney.
Also we are working on a couple different recording projects and hopefully will have them all released by early 2010. They include two seven inches and a tape put out by Tiny Vipers on her own tape label.
We will have T-shirts at the Comet show, dyed with real blood. I look forward to seeing you all there!
