The Swiss Ventura plays grunge like sometimes Voivodesque noisy rock with a little taste of shoegaze. This video was made for their new single, Ananasses:

The 7″ to be released on October 7 by Africantape

The new Ventura album was released in april by Africantape and Vitesse

Well who are Supernaked?

First of all, they are the guys who either start the blues scale or hit the drums fiercely after three sips of beer,  and it’s also them who came together from the members of  the late Románia band and the late Diomede Fuzzdirt – what a coincidence!

Secondly, this new Hungarian band’s gonna do their first gig pretty soon – they are supporting Natural Child on 14th October in Budapest!

Come and see, everybody’s gonna be happy!

Some thoughts about Sieur et Dame – Amour et Papouasie (Love and Papua) album by Kythibong Records

Hey Sieur et Dame! Million merci for your new album. It is the best, most interesting and most peculiar record of recent years for me. When I got it, I listened to it three times in succession, and was flabbergasted. Oh my God! What is it? And it is a difficult question. Such like a renaissance market-place knock-about farce or an opera-buffa, or something musical Commedia dell’arte. Starring an angel and a gnome, aka the Beauty and the Beast. And they slip into different costumes as the comedy require. And there mixing the ecclesiastical and the popular secular music of the renaissance and baroque era: the Italian origin frottola, canzonetta and madrigal, flamenco and medieval rhythms like tarantella. Plus hip-hop. It’s sometimes so much polyphonic as if there two different bands would play side by side. Exceedingly surreal.

Maybe the best Kythibong Records release ever:

Claire and Etienne were lovers. Claire got strict Catholic education, studied lyrical singing and works in a national choir, speaking fluent ancient Latin and collecting roadkilled frogs. Etienne is a ferocious self-taught musician. He started his musical career as a drummer of a Berber music band at the age of 15. While Claire joined a Palestine music group at 18.  After various genres, styles, groups and collaborations they have founded Sieur et Dame in 2006.

I hope their little travelling circus to start eastward soon.

„After ten years as a „band” Pink Reason has decided to call it quits. Be on the lookout for our last record titled „Eternal Exile,” it should be available early 2014. Thanks to everyone who helped out a long the way.” – Kevin

Pink Reason was one of the most influential lo-fi punk band. It was founded by Kevin De Broux. He spent his teen age years in Siberia, so he would be a punk there, and got under the influence of Russian underground music.

I don’t understand his announcement, because there never were fixed members except for him. He made some records alone and did some one man tours with an acoustic guitar. So maybe Pink Reason is finished as a band only, and the one man Pink Reason still alive.

At the time, back in the early seventies the Vietnam war was still raging, Susan Dietrich and her husband Joel and their tiny daughter were political exiles living like refugees in the States, terrified that Joel would be imprisoned for having resisted the draft. For nine years they had subsisted on spare change and meager sales of their artwork on the streets. Finding a dilapidated, old accordion in a junk store was the major cause in turning her life around.  And „the Space Lady began her odyssey on the streets of San Francisco in the late 70s, playing an accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony. Following the theft of her accordion, she invested in a then-new Casio keyboard…” and plays minimal prog lo-fi space pop. Two songs of her early street sets:
