Lilacs & Champagne is an alternative project of Emil Amos (drums) and Alex Hall (guitar) from Grails which plays instrumental cinematic music. They have started a fantasy record series Midnight Features. Inspired by the Marvel comics series What if? These were alternative stories of well-known super heroes of Marvel. In musical equivalents of these the band places himself into various musical eras. The first chapter, the Shower Scene takes place in the 70s, and was inspired by the background music of TV shows, crimes, dramas, romantics and more.

„We play fast, noisy music. Call it whatever you want. The component parts include: primitive 1970s punk, 1980s hardcore, skronky post-punk records of the danceable and non-danceable varieties, 1960s garage music, traditional American music, science fiction, literary satire, scatology, unapologetic theft, bald-faced lying, and the design aesthetic of school notebook covers and public toilets. Listen and figure it out for yourself. The songs are short. It won’t take long. Break up eventually.” Started as a Joke, as a cover band by three middle aged guy who has learnt all of the 1978 debut album of Belgian punk rock band The Kids. They’re the Advlts

„We were playing this one club in Rome. It was a small place, it was really packed, and we’re doing Penetrate. As I go into the song I realize that the audience is singing along with me. Then I noticed they were doing that on a lot of songs. I had met a bunch of these people before the show, and they didn’t speak any English.” – said Dennis Most in an interview. It’s miraculous because his band was almost totally unknown until the early 2000s.

Dennis Most & The Instigators were formed as a punk band in 1979. Before this there were two bands of Mr. Most: „Punk” was founded in 1972, Dennis Most & AudioLove in 1976. Punk was “trippy blues/garage-rock combo” influenced by Standells, Troggs and sames. AudioLove was „garagey, metally proto-punk” influenced by Stooges, MC5 and early British heavy metal bands.

Dennis Most & The Instigators had only a self-released single in that time. Most released solo recordings in 1982 (7″) and 1985 (LP), among his songs there was a Cole Porter interpretation too! (Anyway Porter was a punk by his extravagant, scandalous lifestyle. Two of his songs is sung by Iggy Pop. One with Debbie Harry, Two on his cover album „Apres”.)
The Instigators were resurrected in the early 2000s. Since then their early materials were released beside new recordings on various indie labels in Finland, Italy, Germany and US. Now here is the brand new material, „Instigate Me” with 7 songs, among these is an interpretation of Cheap Trick’s He’s A Whore. Good old-style punk music like Ramones or Misfits with more metallic edge and some gothic influence. Strange that the music reminds me of the Finnish Psychoplasma, but I almost sure that they don’t know about it. „Instigate Me” is released on CD-r by Kotlovan Records in Russia!

The band’s bassist is Keith Grave of Atomic Buddha.

ps: „I Hate Mel Tormé” is a song by Denni Most & Instigators. He was an American jazz-pop singer, musician and composer.

When I have heard the Sunday Morning at first yesterday I was delighted at it because I thought that it’s a „real time” song but it was written in 1958 by Margo Guryan.

She is singer, songwriter, lyricist and musician, her sole album was released in 1968. Her songs was recorded by Carmen McRae, Julie London, Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Nilsson, Saint-Etienne and many others. She refused to tour so she became disinteresting for the music industry as a performer, but worked on as writer and produced records for others. Then she worked as a piano teacher and produced music books for students. In 2007, she released a new single, entitled „16 Words”. The track refers to one phrase from a speech of G.W. Bush in 2003. Look!
