Esra Dekan News
Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2003 6:18 pm
Esra Dekan have just finished the recording of their first single, "All Right" at Parnell's York Street Studios. Engineer Clint Murphy has done an oustanding job on what was originally a purely acoustic guitar driven track and we wait with interest to see how it is received by radio and television audiences.
The corresponding video is in the post-production stage after a 2 day shoot with the Independent Film Company of NZ (IFCONZ). Director Ivan Slavov has perfectly depicted the song's honest opening phases and soaring conclusion.
The song's main hook "I've been out of sorts, but then again it's all right..." may well become a catch phrase for the masses. |

Hmmm. Esra Dekan, a band with a name that just ain't clever no matter which way you read it (for those of you who haven't clicked - read it backwards). Saw these guys at a Battle of the Bands night once and as good as they were I wasn't really left with a "give me more" feeling. Then again that was a year ago now, they may have gotten better. Nice guys except for the bass player who was the poser from hell (sunglasses at night, come on man?!). |

Maybe the comments of someone whose friend's band got beat? I've seen them twice - the N Shore regional final last year when I went to watch a friend's band, Ubiquitous and at the Empire when they played before Op Shop. Good songs. Of COURSE they're better than they were a year ago... |

Interesting - Senior Dekan here: Don't worry Jezza, contrary to some opinion NONE of us are nice guys (except Wez), ALL of us are posers (we just don't all own sunnies...) and for those who haven't seen us in a year, you would be welcomed back with open arms.

Oh one more thing adrian0476, you said "Nice guys except for the bass player who was the poser from hell (sunglasses at night, come on man?!)." Well hello holewherethelightneversees! Its what performers call Stage Performance! Or would you like to see Bands that just stand still and play?
Dude make a hole in your pillow and do something to it!

HI there. I AM THE BASS PLAYER. I would like to say that the sunnies thing is just fun but if anyone wants to take it as arrogant then thats funny, cos frick i am not arrogant. Hey ya is a great song. We play it well, but I will let you in on the little secret that we enjoy so that is cool. But hey, ya, it is our aboriginl music that we will be known for shortly. Trust me : ) |

Esra Dekan will be celebrating the launch of their 13-track CD "Studio Sessions" with a gig at Devonport's Masonic Tavern on Friday, 13th February.
Recorded at York Street Studios, the tracks were originally intended for demo use only and were performed as one-takers in full band set-up.
Wary about calling this their first "album", the quality of sound and live energy captured encouraged the band to make "Studio Sessions" their first foray into album length CD release. The disc includes "All Right" which has had airplay on JuiceTV, RTR and C4 since it's release in November. |

Hi guys,
Awesome to see your stuff on the music sites. Have already bought my copy of the CD and it is getting thrashed. LOVE all the songs on it - you guys just get better and better.
Looking forward to the gig on Friday nite as always. Sorry I missed the Empire - I hear it was another spectacular nite. Will be fantastic to hear some more of the originals - your covers are amazing but I do love your originals.
Saw the comment from that idiot Adrian0476, obviously not a musical bone in his body. It's no wonder he can't crack it in the music industry. It's nice to see a band who actually look like they are enjoying being on stage and performing.
Anyway it feels very professional to be writing to you on a website.
See ya on Friday nite! (yes I am giving up the 1 day cricket for you lads!)
Love Kirsty J |

Marlon - no a friends band did not get beaten by Esra Dekan. In fact, I don't have any friends. And to eveyone else, what's wrong with me baggin' someone? Sunglasses at night may be known as a "performance tool" but my comments are called "criticism". No one from Esra Dekan seemed to give a rats about my comments, that's the main thing, if you can't laugh at yourself then you may as well give up on music. To those softies I may have offended, get over it! |

I wasn't to upset about the sunnies comment. In fact, I went through a phase where the comments inspired me to wear sunglasses at every gig until one in Taupo where an opinionated young lady said for me to take them off as I had beautiful eyes...
Isn't that nice : )
Ok - Maybe I was a little upset at first...
But now I am fine. |

Is there any truth to the rumour that you cried yourself to sleep at night for a month? Or that you had to have the afore-mentioned sunglasses surgically removed? |

Thanks KirtsyJ but I wouldn't really class myself in the idiot category, highly opinionated to the point of insult, but not an idiot. You're right, my band is finding it hard to crack the music industry. We're a fairly new outfit called Nebula One (www.nebulaone.com), quite far removed from Esra Dekan but pretty good for the few months we've been gigging etc.
Did I mention that the gig I saw was their 2nd ever gig?! I've been hearing nothing but good things since then...but I'm glad the sunglasses have gone (he does have nice eyes). I was an acquaintance of an old member of theirs, Daniel. He didn't seem to mind my comments either. Jeez, it seems everyone except Esra Dekan themselves can't see my comments for what they are, a misplaced whinge. My apologies to anyone that can't see through this.
