The collective of noise therapists dUASsEMIcOLCHEIASiNVERTIDAS are about to release their first album on vinyl and at the same time they are preparing the Kebab Tour, a new european tour for the spring of 2012, for which they are presently booking dates...

This collective with a strange and long name that means “two inverted semi-quavers” began in 2007 in Lisbon (Portugal) when musicians from different projects started jamming together to get rid of the tensions and frustrations of daily life.

The sound they make is instrumental and unlikely. Based on improvisation, it doesn't fit in any predetermined style, roaming somewhere between rock, post-rock, punk, post-punk, jazz, free jazz, noise, easy listening and anything else that will come in the way. But it’s live that their noise better reveals its therapeutic properties, in wild and intense performances where unpredictability is the only thing guaranteed.

So far they have released two EPs (“I” in 2008 and “II” in 2009) and a tape (“SADITREVNiSAIEHCLOcIMEsSAUd”  in 2010 by the label A Giant Fern), which were re-released later by the netlabel Enough Records for free download.

They have also done 4 european tours and have played more than 170 concerts in countries like Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia and, of course, Portugal.

Through their Associação Terapêutica do Ruído ("therapeutic association of noise") they also promote live therapeutic sessions with specialists coming from many different countries and styles. Until now they had the pleasure of hosting bands like: L'Enfance Rouge (France/Italy); Familea Miranda (Chile); Rosvita, Erizo, Betunizer, Decurs, Picore, Good Idea/Bad Idea, The Happiness Project, La Doggy Party, Unicornibot (Spain); Fuzz Orchestra, Plasma Expander, Asabikeshiinh (Italy); John Makay, Les Profs de Skids, Le Singe Blanc, Pneu, Vialka (France); Gentle Veincut, Don Vito (Germany); Please, Beards (U.K.) and musicians like: L’Ocelle Mare (France); Above the Tree, Bob Corn, Rella the Woodcutter, Andrea Rottin (Italy); Thollem Mcdonas, Dan Kaufman, powerdove (U.S.A.) and many other portuguese experts.
