Kiss My Jazz - Lovers And Place

BAND: Kiss My Jazz
SONG: Lovers And Place
ALBUM: Doc's Place Friday Evening
RELEASED: 1996


ABOUT:
A very loose group from and around Antwerp, formed somewhere around '91, early '92. The key figure must be Rudy Trouvé (guitar/vocals, also making fame as dEUS member) and it's one of his oldest bands. The initial group also includes Heyme Langbroeck (trumpet/sax), Elko Blijweert (2nd guitar), Jacki Billet (bass) and Stef Kamil Carlens (drums/vocals, Zita Swoon).

They began with a kind of lo-fi combination of jazz and rock with punky intentions. Sometimes described as "inaccessible" and "bizarre", though received by the press with enthusiasm. At it's peak there were 15 members. Rudy comments in '98: "Kiss My Jazz is a combination of ignorance and jazz. We are a mix of good and less good musicians. That's even necessary, because without good musician you wouldn't be able to play jazz, and without the bad ones you wouldn't be able to play punk".

Their experimental jazzy style finally evolves to a more poppy, country/bossanova mix on In a Service Station which Rudy tells was inspired by being a lot on the road, touring with other bands, and "really cheap and bad TV-films."

In 2000 they break up, Rudy explains that "We have explored all styles we wanted to explore."


LYRICS:
It's today
It's in the way
It's in the words you say
Dressing up
In front of the mirror
You drop the ashtray
It's in the way
We see ourselves
Let's have another line
Its in the smile, in the cigarettes, in the eyes
It's in the jokes
Most of them are bad
Its in the sad remarks
You hold me down
I hold you down
So we can hold each other
I'll make my shoes shine
We'll be there in time
Put that lipstick on your face
'Cause we're going to your favorite place
And we'll go dancing
Like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire
We'll rule the dancefloor
And everybody will stare.....
While we dance

It's today
It's in the way
It's in the words you say
It's in the spirits, in the lies, in the casualness
It's in the soul
Lovers and place
It's in the touch
It's in the way
We
Embrace
