About: More Songs from the Victorious City" builds on the encounter of one of Lebanon’s most talented up and coming producers, with one of the most "incompetent" guitar players and singers. After many desperate hours spent listening religiously to the Beach Boys, Moondog, Stephen Jones and Tom Waits, and after touring the world chasing the Sparks, Serge Yared came to Fadi “Fe” Tabbal one day with a bunch of broken lyrics and out of tune melodies. Fe decided Serge was to perform them himself, no matter what. Recorded in between wars, riots and assassinations, the project soon developed to involve a community of more than 25 "incompetents", including anyone who came by the studio while they were recording, as well as "graphic designer" friends who each got to illustrate one of the album’s 8 tracks, creating different interchangeable covers! A true community work, and an outrageously spontaneous and liberating experience.

  1. I know you got your music for free on this site but in case you would like to support us we’re on iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/more-songs-from-victorious/id388222216
    Our album is self-produced meaning we covered all the charges of the album (recording, printing, promotion etc.) ourselves,

    Peace

    Serge from the incompetents

  2. what a waste of disk space!!

    • just delete ;-)

      • I actually used ur quote on our Facebook page as a teaser.

  3. i think you should delete that sentence and put this one:
    “this stuff is FUCKING awesome!”

    • Thx “The Who’ (who btw are a great influence on us — “Quadrophonia” and “Who’s Next” are absolute wonders) !!
      It is always comforting to know that our twisted melodies can count on some twisted pair of ears :) . Even though we take critics that our music is unlistenable and crappy with a smile, it is good to know … some people like it
