Men Eater is one of the most talented new Portuguese acts. Riff got the chance to interview them at the Ermal Festival.


Mike - Hi! I’m Mike from Men Eater…

Carlos - I’m Carlos!

Mike - We started the band in 2005, we didn’t knew each other too much so we just joined a few friends and started on a practice room! In 2006, we released our first five song demo and early in 2007, we released our first record called…

Carlos - … Hell Stone…

Mike - … And now in 2009, about four months ago we release a new album called…

Carlos - … Vendaval…

Mike - …. It’s working pretty well; we’re heading Europe for, at least, one month and two weeks of touring with our good friends “Sights and Sounds” from Canada… we’re going to be all over Italy, Germany, Netherlands, UK, Slovenia…

Carlos - … France…

Mike - … Spain, Portugal, that’s pretty much it!

Carlos - At the beginning of the band we had a vocalist called Sergio, but when we entered the studio for “Hell Stone”, the first album, he left the band and it was just the four of us… Mike, me, Carlos (drummer) and Jotinha (best guitar player)… that’s the same line-up we maintain ‘till now and which had performed here in Ermal.

Mike – That’s pretty much it! We’re on the road for four years now and we’re still kind of a new band!

Carlos – About our gig here in Ermal, we really liked play here, it has a beautiful sight and the view is amazing! I´ve been here before, about three years ago, but for Mike is his first time here, so… can you tell us something about this beautiful place?!

Mike – It’s unbelievable!!! It’s amazing!!!

Carlos – It’s fuck*** unbelievable!!!

Mike – It’s very nice, playing with such a view and the lake is… wow!

Carlos – And the thing is… we were here watching the gigs on Friday night, and someone came to us and told us “Hey, you guys wanna play on Sunday?” and we just said “Yeh, we have our guitars back there!”… It was just a coincidence that we brought our back-line
