Paranoid Void - The Path (Official Documentary)

[@Harkinless]

So fascinating... And curious. This is not the first and even the second time I've heard from other japanese bands like tricot that "their sound is not propositaly math rock". I'm a very fan of the genre, but I certainly agree that labels are a very complex thing, neither negative or positive. Anyways... Nice band, girls! It's always nice to see girls making music, especially in environments that we're not always welcome. I'm really enjoying your music. And great mini doc! Hugs from Brazil (and please come too)! :)

[@popeyemedia]

Thanks for your kind words! Definitely check out their official KZbin channel!

[@TheKnightXavier]

Wow, really fantastic interview and insight into a fantastic band! Thanks for putting this together!

[@popeyemedia]

of course! thanks for taking the time to watch our little doc :')

[@sachanarangoda672]

Glad to see you guys featuring Paranoid Void in this mini-documentary. They definitely deserve the attention!

[@popeyemedia]

Thanks for taking the time to watch it! We're hoping to work with them again in the future!

[@CourtesyDrop]

excellent video (both content and visually)! bummed they're only going south and west this run, but i'm sure i'll catch them eventually! the States is a pain in the ass to tour, especially for foreigners, so it's certainly understandable our scene(s) and bands here in the US could certainly do well in looking East for an education and inspiration; so much good stuff going on over there

[@popeyemedia]

yes definitely! we plan on filming a performance with them in Los Angeles so hopefully you'll stop by and watch our coverage on that event as well!

[@CourtesyDrop]

@@popeyemedia absolutely! that's near the end of their tour, yeah? maybe get a follow-up interview with reflections on how it went? ;D

[@popeyemedia]

@@CourtesyDrop yes good idea! anything else you're interested in asking them? or better yet - if there was one song you wanted them to breakdown, what would that be?

[@CourtesyDrop]

@@popeyemedia hmmm, i suppose my question would be for the vocalist: with the shift to instrumental music, has she found it more difficult, easier, or the same to express herself with no lyrics or vocals? i found her singing to be very expressive, so i'm curious to know if there was an adjustment period for her, and how she feels about it now.

[@CarbonatedTurtle]

Great little documentary! I've been a big for about 5 years and it was so amazing finally getting to see you perform live last year in Toronto. I hope you'll come back one day!

[@popeyemedia]

I'm sure they'll see this!

[@CarbonatedTurtle]

I hope so. I wasn't thinking about it that this wasn't their channel when I wrote the comment, but I was directed here from their Facebook page, so hopefully they see they have fans across the world.

[@julianc.6589]

This band is a mood, might be playing with them on one of their US stops it's exciting

[@popeyemedia]

So dope! Are you in a band too?

[@julianc.6589]

@@popeyemedia yes a local band in the Houston Galveston area, there's some overlap in our sounds

[@popeyemedia]

@@julianc.6589 Definitely DM us if you guys ever visit LA and want to do a collab!

[@ginaavila326]

the visuals in this are amazing

[@popeyemedia]

Damn that means so much to us! How'd you find this video?

[@ginaavila326]

@@popeyemedia it was recommended to me! i'm a huge math rock fan and i also love paranoid void ✨

[@popeyemedia]

@@ginaavila326 sweeet! have you seen them perform live before? We're co-releasing a taping of their live concert in a week or so

[@ginaavila326]

@@popeyemedia unfortunately no (i live pretty far from Japan), but i will be looking forward to your next vid!

[@kevinallen4743]

I like this and wonder how it is Japan has more than its fair share of wonderful groups in a wide range of genre. Is it down to the educational system? From what the ladies here were seeing its not the culture, it seems almost as this this expression centred philosophy is almost the opposite of their cultural norms. is this then rebellion against culture like 70s punk in the UK and US. I would like to see an Otoboke Beaver documentary to compare and contrast two very different bands genesis & development.

[@popeyemedia]

Interesting! We haven't heard of Otoboke Beaver, but we're super interested in interviewing more Japanese bands! From what we've seen on the ground, major cities in Japan end up having tons of small and local venues for artists to practice and break through. We're based here in Los Angeles and those early career opportunities seem to be less and more coveted. But I whole heartedly agree that there seems to be such an incomprehensible amount of GOOD indie bands in Japan

[@adsrcollective]

Saw them at fujirock this year- so good!

[@popeyemedia]

Any other recommendations for bands we should check out?

[@adsrcollective]

@@popeyemedia also enjoyed TAMTAM :)

[@maladroit5376]

Fascinating insight into the band 👮‍♂️❤❤

[@popeyemedia]

Thanks Mal! Any other band, genre, or music city you would like to know more about?

[@gobahgaber6909]

really like the band and the documentary dont dissapoint

[@popeyemedia]

We appreciate that! Any other bands you're interested in us covering?

[@jesseelizondo3230]

My band opened for these amazing women in Houston one of the highlights of my career

[@popeyemedia]

very cool!! did you get to meet them too?? Where was the show at??

[@lancecamposano3633]

0:12 what's the name of the band??

[@popeyemedia]

Ahhh unfortunately I don't recognize the clip immediately, but here's a link to some great Japanese math rock bands kzbin.info/www/bejne/iovNhYuelN-UjsU The band is Japanese - I know that much!

[@ChristopheErickson]

I don’t know if you’re still trying to find the answer, but the band is Palm.
