Minutes before announcing the new album of Grubby, Shirley Manson talked to the Rolling Stone Brazil about your next visit to the country. The band performs in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Curitiba on the 21st, 22nd and 23rd of this month. The group was last in Brazil in 2023, when it composed the line-up of The Town.

“It was fantastic for c*ranho,” he exclaimed Manson In an online interview. Despite not appearing on video on the call, his Scottish accent and shrill laugh are unmistakable. “I think the last time we were there, we played with the Foo Fighters, KAREN Ofrom YEAH YEAH YEAHS… they are our friends, “he continued.

She added: “So it was a dream experience, to go to Brazil to touch the amazing audience from there – famous around the world for an explosion of joy that always makes me impressed, being a Scottish person. Ferocity and feeling are beautiful, and Brazil can be proud of it, its people.”

Celebrations and memories

This year, the self -titled album of Grubby turns 30, while Bleed Like Me Makes 20 Mansonthe band should celebrate the birthdays with the release of their next album, Let all that we imagine be the lightscheduled for May 30.

At the turn from 2024 to 2025, Shirley He wrote in Instagram post: “In 1995, we would never have believed if anyone said we would continue to release music in 2025.” The lack of hope about the band itself in the past can be explained by two factors, according to the singer.

“First, few rock bands can have such a long -lived career. It’s just something that doesn’t happen very often. But you, as a young woman, I imagine, will understand what I refer to now about patriarchal tastes that dictate the longevity of a woman’s career most of the time,” he argued. “As a young woman, I was very aware of how patriarchy falls on everything.”

“If I was considered attractive, it could be favored by the media. I had a sense of it. The media loved attractive women in the 1990s. But I also knew that in the minute when it was no longer considered attractive, it would be in danger – and it was right about it,” he added.

Manson Still cited other women who resisted the obstacles imposed by men in the music industry: “By luck, I knew how to deal with it, as well as some of my inspirations, as Patti Smith, Siouxsie sioux, Chrissie Hynde… I think we could have a long career because we didn’t focus on being beautiful. Does this make any sense? We don’t focus on trying to please men. We were much more aggressive compared to other alternative rock or pop women of that time. “

To the British website NME, Shirley He said that, also 1990s, he was on a flight with a very famous “rockstar”. The artist would have revealed to him that the interscope, then record label of the Grubbywould invest money only in a band led by a woman. In this case, the In the double It was chosen.

“I don’t worry about that anymore. Maybe I worried when I was younger,” he reflected Manson. “All the decisions that are made and all decisions that are not made influence someone’s course of life. That’s how life is – and you have no control over it.”

Life is like a video game, you face whatever you want to appear in your way. And then, one day you are old, look back and think: it was a very crazy trip, with glorious moments and moments of M*RDA. […] It is part of our story – and that is kind of what makes it beautiful.

Manson He also examined his role in the 1990s music scene. When asked about his feeling – or his absence – from belonging to the decade, she replied: “A part of me was always that young woman in the 1990s, when my band hit an international audience – a part of me is still there that was so busy and involved in my career, that I lost a lot that happened to my family, in my personal life, with my friends.”

“However, I am very grateful that our career was long enough to make as many albums as we did in the 1990s, you know?” He confessed. “So, as a band, I think we feel belonging to three different decades – and what a privilege of the C*Ralho! It is very crazy that we continue here, that we continue to make albums, that we still have a great seal helping us distribute our albums around the world … this is crazy!”

The 1990s were the beginning of everything for us. We will always be remembered, of course, as one of the 1990s rock bands of the most successful. It is our decade. I’m grateful for that, because it was a glorious decade, where we made so many different types of songs, all playing on popular radios, where only pop, or perhaps rap and hip hop, keep playing.

It is 2025, and the Garbage continues to release albums

For all who doubted – including the band itself – Grubby Releases your eighth studio album soon. Let all that we imagine be the light It will be “the biggest celebration” at the moment. While Bleed Like Me was remastered in 2024, Grubby Won editions of the 20th anniversary. Therefore, the group led by Shirley It is focused on what is coming.

“It seems crazy to do it again, and we are very anxious,” said the singer. She reinforced an exceptional character of the Grubby: “It’s very, very, rare for musicians, especially rock bands, having such a long career. It’s so hard! The industry is so hard with rock bands. There’s not many of us left. We’re an endangered species.”

The successor of No Gods No Masters (2021) was recorded after Manson undergo surgery to replace the hip. During a show in Los Angeles, held in 2016, she fell from the stage, but took the presentation to the end. The resulting pain of the accident was increasingly intense and started to compromise the work of Shirleywhich opted for surgery only in 2023.

“I’m feeling great, but F*gave it with my head. Falls from the stage and ended up with my body,” he recalled. “I didn’t know how much I had my own body. It was a big shock to know that I needed surgery. I’ve always been athletic, I’m strong, how well … and ended up in a hospital.”

It was a very humiliating and challenging experience to face this kind of vunability. Certainly, I’m great physically. Psychologically, I have suffered.

The health of Shirley influenced the new album – “It’s definitely there”. According to the artist, she wrote the album “Dumped and under the influence of many pain medicines”.

“This definitely influenced the way I compose, because it wasn’t totally healthy – you stay in a different kind of state. So you can hear some of this suffering on the album,” he said. “When this happens [problemas físicos]You have to change your head over the world, people and yourself. You have to think in a different way about how you will survive and move on. “

I am also grateful for some of the lessons I learned about patience. Like rehabilitation, when you can’t walk and have to learn to do it again. It is a wild journey for c*ranho. Let me be the first to tell you: it’s a wild journey to C*ranho – and that teaches you a lot.

When unraveling the title of the new album, Manson criticized the US government. “I think we feel that the world seems to have had a terrible fascist turn. We are seeing members of the US government participating in Nazi greetings. We are seeing the destruction of women’s rights, trans rights, gay rights, closing national parks,” he cast.

“The list is endless. I think we feel we need to raise our minds out of the mud where leaders around the world seem to insist on launching us. So this is about the power of mind, imagination and spirit, the ability to transcend negativity if it makes any meaning,” he added.

The FrontWoman do Grubby also used Instagram to regret the death of Gene Hackmankilled in February, and David Lynchwho passed away in January. Shirley stated that Hackman It was his “favorite actor as he grew up.” In addition, the star of Operation France (1971) is “a muso” for the band: “Funny you mention it. […] We use his dialogues on our live shows. We are very inspired by all that madness of surveillance technology, the obsession with madness, you know? “

Lynchin turn, it has been honored by the group in their recent performances. In Colombia, Chile and Argentina, for example, Grubby He dropped the performances with “Laura Palmer’s Theme”, song of Angelo Badalamenti to Twin Peaks.

Eager fans to hear a pan of the new album will have to contain expectations, as the setlists of the next shows should not have any unreleased track of the band. However, there is hope: “I think we won’t have this time. But we are rehearsing a song. If we feel ready, we will touch it,” he said Shirley.
