Manuel Agnelli in an interview he talks about Afterhoursthe historic alternative rock band he founded in 1986.
“People change, but names change too, because the Afterhours are a band that has gone through ten formations. It is true that certain pressures lead to complex relationships, but it is also true that one can work in harmony. I don’t know why things turned out like this, but I know how. At one point I felt like a prisoner, because the Afterhours was a band of friends only with the first formation, and then it became a ‘music project’, which did remarkable things, but the tensions were born there.
These are the words of Manuel Agnelli on Afterhoursreported by Rumoremag.
“Afterhours froze because they had become a hard machine to move, like a big company, the opposite of what I wanted from music. I love our jobs, the last two so much, and I’m proud of what we’ve done, but it had become a feat. Only big events were organized and perhaps the Afterhours are now made for them, they have become a brand. And the public wants this, the songs that have accompanied him in certain passages of life, in his youth, in his first falling in love, otherwise he’ll get pissed. He’s human, but new pieces aren’t of interest, it doesn’t matter if they’re worth it. So I carved out the opportunity to start over, find my personal freedom, win back an audience for the music I play and not just for the story I have, which has put me back in harmonic shape and a crazy desire to make music. ”
Has the story of the historic band, therefore, come to an end? The answer now seems to be yes…
