Singled Out: MAX's My Name Is Dick

MAX, the frontman for Moscow rockers Nogu Svelo, has just released a video for his solo track "My Name Is Dick," from his forthcoming U.S. album "Fast Food Kids". Today he tells us about the new single.

I was always sure that good songs come to me from nowhere. Especially when they are simple. Even if they have any "sources" or "roots" all this sh*t is hidden from me and I don't want to sacrifice even one minute of my life with questions about where it comes from.

It is so on the nose to mention a couple names, to rhyme Lucy and Suzy, Nick and Rick and then to shout: "My name is Dick!!!" But nobody has ever done that. OK, no problem, let it be me.

I was lucky enough to have met two very talented guys, David Walsh (ex. "Exies") and Michael Carey, and we finished writing this piece of craziness together. This song was a hit even when we completed the demo, but when Howard Benson (P.O.D. Rascal Flats, My Chemical romance) played us the final mix we realised we had something very special. When I realised that I immediately decided to write the chorus and bridge in Russian� And it came out even funnier and more stupid than in English� Hopefully somebody will help me with Spanish, French etc� I love the entire World !

The video for Dick was filmed in a former fraternity and it explains everything. To be honest I spent a lot of time suffering from doubts: maybe it's too outrageous. At last I decided to slightly re-edit it and when it was done I decided; no way to have it more neutral. Otherwise we'll lose this spirit of college, party etc.

The only problem for me now is: Dick is so strong that making a new step in my career I'd need my best to show people the other side of my creativity. Hopefully it will happen on my 1st album "Fast Food Kids" and MAX will be stronger than Dick.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself as you watch the video here. You can learn more about MAX here and pick up the single on iTunes right here!
