„Új Látásmód Fúzió: egy kimért modorú szinti-pank, aki a végítélet előtti utolsó pillanatok presszó-rockját játssza. „ (rnr666)

Az 1992-ben alakult ÚLF az obskurus hazai szinti szintér egyik kultikus együttese, mely tlkp Gáspár Kornéllal egyenlő . Zenéje mélabús dekadens casio-szinti-punk, minimalista szinti-pop, iparias cold wave és analóg elektro cuccok egyfajta avantgarde giccs kabaréja.

Első ÚLF élményem a Csajok a pokolból címet viselő első RNR666 bulin volt. Addig még csak nem is hallottam róluk. Hevertem egy kanapén, néztem, hallgattam. Mivel nem szeretem túlságosan ezt a fajta muzsikát, rövid idő múlva megkérdeztem magamtól, hogy – Hát hülye vagyok én, hogy ezt a szart hallgatom? és menni akartam, de nem tudtam otthagyni. A koncert folyamán ez párszor megismétlődött. Azóta gondolom, hogy ez az ember tud valami különlegeset.

1. Mi volt az első saját lemezed?
Vagy az Edda Művek 1. vagy a 100 Folk Celsius Ohio című mesterműve, még a Drosztmér Pistás depresszív szocio-country időszakukból

2. Mi a kedvenc lemezed?
Erre nagyon nehéz válaszolni, de ha nagyon kell, akkor: külföldiek közül Invasion Planete Records – összes… magyarok közül Korda 1976-os, Boldog Idők albuma…az egész korongot áthatja egyfajta kicsattanó dinamikájú, konyakgőzben szárnyaló éteri romantika.

3. Milyen lemezt hallgattál utoljára?
Fad Gadget korai alkotásait hallgattam a napokban…a legprímább, igazán nyers new wave az Aranykorból… akárcsak Snowy Red művei.. sajnos már mindkét alkotó az Égi Mezőkröl figyel minket…

Az első ÚLF vinyl nagylemez

Good girls love bad guys forever! Two of the most bad-ass Hungarian bands gave a thrilling show this May in a small venue and I must say you are most unlucky if you didn’t attend.

So, here’s a little souvenir from that dark and raging night, proving that Hungary knows how to recycle everyday frustration and that certain roaring coming from a male human’s crotch.

Aren’t these the two essential ingredients for bad music?

Broken Cups is well-known for their maniac live shows and evil post punk sound – but with a frontman so eager to surprise the audience, you just never know what to expect from him. Those guys sitting with an astonished expression probably haven’t been to a gig where they had to face that aforesaid crotch at point-blank range (1.10)

derTanz is probably the best live band in Hungary now. What they do on stage today is the result of playing together for a damn long time, which clearly shows. Hypnotic improvisations and killer songs – well, no one really knows what Gábor is talking about during a gig but more or less everyone is shit scared. Or look at Broken Cups’ frontman, Dávid in this vid, totally frenzied from Statue, the opening track from the first derTanz LP, Kaktusz

The guys from the two bands couldn’t really stop making noise after the gigs, so they teamed up for a little jamming…sounds squishy? not at all

I have listened to it many times. It was not a difficult thing because the Yes! is a very good record. The music is indie rock surely. I very don’t like this phrase and write it with fear because the „indie” labelled musical products have place in the trashcan largely. I could write: alternative rock, but this term repels me in like manner. Well, I can’t rank it to other class, but the Binidu is high above the indie rock category. His music comes to my mind the Deerhoof and the French band is comparable to them. Fresh and playful music. I feel the atmosphere of his birthplace: in July 2012 the trio took his summer residency in a hunter cabin in the Alps, 10m away from the lake Aiguebelette:

The members: Vincent Dupas, guitarist of Fordamage and My Name Is Nobody and the Pneu, a drums’n’guitar duo.

Yes! LP by Kythibong Records

…avagy: sokan vagyunk kevesen.

Ezt oszd, ne az észt:

Lilacs & Champagne is a project of an instrumental rock band, the Grails’ two members, Emil Amos and Alex Hall. The L & C was created to be a direct tribute to the musical outsiders of the past. The Danish & Blue album made up of sounds sourced from Scandinavian porn and hyper-obscure b-movies from the late 60s.

Alone Again and… 

Dan Melchior‘s pink vinyl by an Aussie label. Only 100 copies! To tell the truth I think that his name speaks for itself and no need more words, but I know: OK the name speaks for a very good witty musician but this is known by only few people. This circumstance needs more words: after the split of his short lived first band (where his girlfriend plays trash cans) Dan Melchior sent a cassette to Billy Childish. With him, but mainly with Holly Golightly (It’s not a stage-name! Really.) worked together.

Mr Queer Fish wrote and recorded an autobiographical concept album in Detroit, 1981. For sake of the simplicity he hired the studio owner’s funky band as backing group. It was a superb decision, because it born so unique style and sound which ahead of his time: lo-fi fuzzy minimal funk rock. Mr. Queer Fish pressed 100 or 200 copies without sleeve and buried the records in his parents’ basement. Resurrection time!

Rich Ristagno – Women-Thinkin’ ; What is a man?
from What Would It Be Like To Be Rich LP by Drag City

„Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet / Cause summers here and the time is right for fighting in the street” – howled by Mick Jagger in the song of the Street Fighting Man in London, England at the summer of 1968. Today the same things happening thousand miles to west, but there’s no music at all. Video-report and interview with the Brazilian video-artist VJ Spetto from the burning São Paulo in 2013 19th of june.

It is impossible to say (not only smart things but) anything when you get such sad news – Filip Topol from Czechia, probably the greatest singer-songwriter from the Eastern bloc and probably the only man to play heartbreaking punk on a piano died today, not so suddenly.

May he rest in peace.

RNR666 ABOUT THE NEW MIKAL CRONIN ALBUM
„I didn’t wait very hard garage rock from Mikal Cronin (Charlie and The Moonheart, Epsilons, Party Fowl, Okie Dokie, Ty Segall), but in the first minutes I was surprised. Sha-la-la guitar pop. But I looked up suddenly several times during the listening – Hey, it’s good! And I listened it three times.”

TONIGHT 21:00 CEST (NEW YORK 15:00 EDT) YOU CAN SEE HIS LIVE PERFORMANCE ON THE PITCHFORK TV

„Eddie Spaghetti grew up in Tucson, Arizona trying desperately to ignore the country music that floated all around him.” He turned on the way of heavy metal and punk, has became the bassist and vocalist of the Supersuckers. On his second solo album you can find country rock and roll with a little punk feeling.
