Opening for Bloc Party is Montreal band We Are Wolves. Volume captures their impressive stage show and chats with them about their creepy (in a good way) videos. Or maybe it's just the "idea" of creepy. (You'll see.)

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
00:00:00:14 [Music]
00:00:13:04 I am Alexander Ortiz.
00:00:14:28 I am with We are Wolves.
00:00:17:03 [Music]
00:00:20:27 My name is Antonin, here We are Wolves.
00:00:23:18 [Music]
00:00:26:18 We are in Toronto.
00:00:27:24 Discotheque.
00:00:29:18 At the late party show.
00:00:31:17 We are opening for them tonight.
00:00:32:28 Kool Haus disco tunnel.
00:00:35:28 ♪ [Music]
00:00:47:04 Our music sounds like
00:00:52:18 Divo having sex with The Stooges
00:00:57:08 having sex with
00:01:01:28 who else, well, I have done...
00:01:06:01 [inaudible]
00:01:09:22 and Morgan Freeman.
00:01:13:00 ♪ [Music]
00:01:23:18 It's a blend between rock and roll and electro music.
00:01:28:09 But more the idea of electro...
00:01:30:06 Yeah, it's more the idea of the rock and the electro,
00:01:32:26 than the actual rock and electro.
00:01:35:14 ♪ [Music]
00:01:50:18 But what is free-hand artist?
00:01:52:28 What is the absolute?
00:01:55:05 What is the truth?
00:01:56:22 Can we handle that absolute truth?
00:02:04:14 Well, I don't know.
00:02:05:26 Our music is free and honest.
00:02:08:02 To me like when I... that's our official Bio and to me when I...
00:02:12:04 and it's longer than this. It's like two or three lines.
00:02:14:14 But let's say that part,
00:02:16:26 to me it means everything and it means absolutely nothing
00:02:19:02 at the same time.
00:02:20:08 It's like every time I read this, like that's exactly it,
00:02:22:10 but sometime it's like what is that.
00:02:24:01 -Our music is honest. -What the hell!
00:02:28:21 But it's true that it is honest
00:02:29:29 but what is it?
00:02:32:12 Maybe, that's why I like the quote so much, it's like very...
00:02:36:00 Maybe it's only the idea of honest and truth
00:02:40:03 more than the actual truth and honest.
00:02:42:19 [Music]
00:03:03:19 What band doesn't want to be honest like,
00:03:06:14 I guess all bands will say, their band is honest.
00:03:09:11 So it's like when I read this, it's just funny.
00:03:11:18 Yeah, but some times like you meet someone like,
00:03:14:13 ran them in a bar and you start talking with them about music
00:03:17:04 and quickly you realize that
00:03:20:17 when they are talking about music,
00:03:22:13 they are talking about a specific genre
00:03:25:04 and that's what they want to have like.
00:03:27:06 They used to play metal but now they are aiming for that kind
00:03:30:20 because they know that
00:03:32:23 that's the thing that appeals to other people
00:03:34:28 and it's to them, it to have that [inaudible]
00:03:39:14 that way of perceiving music is very honest
00:03:42:07 and they admit it like it's no, I had to have hide about it.
00:03:45:08 So, in a certain way, that is honest
00:03:48:01 but that's they are playing a [inaudible]
00:03:50:07 We are not aiming for a specific genre, we are just like...
00:03:52:18 we have so many influence
00:03:54:02 because we listen to so many things.
00:03:56:12 And like one week you are going to listen to the Stooges,
00:03:59:03 next week you are going to be listening to Ghostface Killah
00:04:02:22 and you don't know but it has an impact in your way of composing
00:04:04:28 and structuring music.
00:04:07:08 [Music]
00:04:16:18 I would say, it's so different from one video to another
00:04:19:06 and from one song to another
00:04:21:18 because at the beginning,
00:04:22:29 when we started playing we also did our own videos
00:04:25:14 like home-made and more art video, video doc
00:04:28:28 and then we started like working with other people.
00:04:32:26 So to me Coconut Night
00:04:34:28 is an interpretation of Jérémie Saindon,
00:04:38:10 he has some visions, he hears that songs
00:04:40:08 and that's what he has.
00:04:41:16 When you hear it, you can imagine whatever you want.
00:04:43:14 If you think Coconut Night is about reggae
00:04:46:03 and being on a beach, that's cool.
00:04:48:00 If you think it's about fascination and desire
00:04:50:20 that's also cool.
00:04:52:14 So, I don't mind.
00:04:56:00 It doesn't make sense.
00:04:57:20 ♪ [Music]
00:05:13:08 The lyrics come often when on the bicycle, riding around.
00:05:17:18 There are so many things going on
00:05:18:29 like interaction between people
00:05:21:02 when you are waiting for the light.
00:05:23:14 The building, the architecture and all that
00:05:25:18 and then you are driving,
00:05:26:28 you'll say I want to go see that exhibition
00:05:29:12 and then you are forgetting your,
00:05:30:28 why did I had to go and,
00:05:32:28 so there is some elements that just build up
00:05:35:08 and all those weired parts put together with
00:05:37:26 more often love and desire
00:05:41:18 or the idea of love, the idea of desire.
00:05:45:16 ♪ [Music]
00:05:56:18 It make sense, like sometimes when we say
00:05:59:00 it's the idea of, it's absolutely that.
00:06:02:20 That's what it means and that's what we are talking about.
00:06:05:03 But sometimes, it just pops-out of, yeah the idea of
00:06:07:28 and it's always the kind of,
00:06:09:22 sometime the people are just like,
00:06:11:10 okay the idea.
00:06:12:28 That's cool and then two hours after they are like,
00:06:15:18 what did he meant by the idea of?
00:06:17:23 It sound so, like you want to be intellectual too.
00:06:19:08 I love that.
