Documenta was, “Started as a one one off project but slowly expanded like a bad disorganized universe, Documenta will produce 18 original songs plus a few covers then finish…..
“three chords good, two chords better, one chord best”…”

I had first heard about Joe Greene and his Documenta “Drome Pop”, through the good graces of François Sky. François has a refreshingly, no-nonsense approach to suffering fools gladly, as a rule his barometer is usually right on the money. Joe has proved no exception to this rule.

Around the same time, I encountered the intriguing video for the track ‘Idle Hands‘ – this transformed Documenta from a whisper into a bona fide, must see proposition.

I was then delighted to find that Documenta would be appearing at this year’s Distorted Perspectives Festival in Letterkenny, headlined by San Francisco “repeat-o rockers”, Moon Duo – “placing Donegal in an international context rather than on the periphery”.

I asked Joe Greene what has been going on in the world of Documenta in the run up to the Distorted Perspectives Festival.

“We’ve been pretty busy working on our new record (Drone Pop #1 out July on Touch Sensitive Records) for the last year and a half and making videos so Distorted Perspectives is our first opportunity to go out and play to new people, we don’t play that often so when we do its a big deal for us. It’s also encouraging to see a featival like this happening in Ireland giving a platform to some of the more out there music from these parts and not being in Dublin/Belfast is pretty groovy giving folks the chance to see what cats like us are up to.”
