The founder of notorious British alternative punk band Country Teasers (which was somewhere between The Fall and Fat White Family), Ben Waller says about the beginning of his musical carrier: “I envied the guys in the school band. They didn’t invite me to join, so I formed my own band. I wanted to play the Cure’s guitar melodies, so that’s how I learnt, playing along. I learnt by ear. I had learnt piano to Grade 3, which I failed; I learnt sax for a year or two at school too. Fucking hated it. But I could play the solo at the end of Pink Floyd’s ‘Two Suns in the Sunset’, the tragic climax of The Final Cut.” * His next cut under his pseudonym The Rebel

„KROT” LP on Monofonus Press (US). It is just like the Country Teasers with minimal orchestration and experimental country songs. It was recorded in Texas. On the label’s site you can listen to the whole album for a limited time!

AUSMUTEANTS have been started as a synth’n’drums punk duo, but within a short time it evolved with a bassists and a hardcore „non guitarrist” into a full band, and they do it so good, that such big international labels want them as: Goner, Goodbye Boozy and Total Punk.

The 3rd song also on a 7″ single by Goodbye Boozy Records (Italy). 4-5: „It’s Alive”, cassette on Welcome In The Shit Records (Italy). The 4th song also on the LP. 6th: upcoming 7″ single by Total Punk Records (US)

And there everyone is called on this beautiful German name: Kurt. Very strange that it’s a female name – according to the Wikipedia. (Was, meanwhile it would be revised.)

Israel has been at war almost constantly since its foundation. The peace is very temporary and miraculous state in that region. The short peacetime are hot spiced with terrorist attacks. In 1991, on the occasion of Gulf War, Iraq launched 42 missiles to Israel, albeit it was not among the belligerents.

Yuval Haring (guitar/vocal): „I still remember, as a kid, sitting in our bomb shelter playing computer games while wearing a gas mask.” (Maybe was it a battle game?) „The world will end a thousand times, and we’ll still be here reading books, drinking coffee. We say, “Ze beseder” (It’s OK). That’s a very Tel Aviv sentiment. Nothing is so serious. There’s always another end after the end.” No wonder that dark visions arise.

In all probability the notorious, legendary and cultic psycho rock and roll band The Cramps made huge impact on Vagina Town. Just their music is spiced with 60’s psychedelic beats (a la Question Mark & The Mysterians) and noise rock. The French band has taken its name from a porn movie. And the titles of their releases are also meaningful: „LSD”, „Hospital”, and the brand new one: „Ecstasy”

shameless hedonism, sex’n’drugs’n’rock’n’roll, food’n’beer’n’tobacco

7″ single on Kythibong Records

but before this the notorious noise fanatics have to go at BOTB at HAVIZAJ Party

That was our first question when we saw today
a Facebook event with that title: CATHOLIC SPRAY: LAST SHOW!

So we asked our favourite psychedelic-dark-surf band about that unbelievable nightmare and the answer has broken our filthy heart:

„For the time being, looks like that everything come to an end but we’re all playing in a new bands, we’re not dead!
Cyprien plays in Tits
Antoine and me (Pierre) in La Secte du Futur
I play in Holy Gray and Matière Noire, and Max in Ibiza
Antoine plays also in PCP Manor and has his own electro project called Pousse Mort.„

REST IN FUCKING PEACE THE BEAUTIFUL: CATHOLIC SPRAY!!!

This is a Butthole Surfers’ song from Rembrandt Pussy Horse album. It also is a collaboration of two Irish electronic projects, Magnetize and The Last Sound. Their music is hard trance for me. Or maybe industrial acid techno. Even it also reminds me of early Ministry and Skinny Puppy. The label says: „For fans of classic Alec Empire, Justin Broadrick or modern day Downwards Records.”

WHIRLING HALL OF KNIVES  – COMMINUTE

from  „Comminute” 12″ and digital EP by Earwiggle Records (Ireland)

Their records were also released on Trensmat.

Nothing strange, nothing weird, just good dynamic rock music for your entertainment by Jonly Bonly from Texas. It’s side project of OBN IIIs.

From RNR666 party I know a Turkish new wave synth-punk band: Kirik Cizgi. Now here is another one: Kim Ki O. Their music is a little more darker and minimal than the other one, but it shows surprising rhythmical similarity! Yes, the influence of Turkish folklore. Bir, Iki LP compiles the best cuts from Kim Ki O’s long out of print CDs, with a song from (!)Enfant Terrible Record’s „Radio Resistancia” CD compilation. „Synth, bass, indie, dark”

You can find some free stuff on their site!. Anyway, Kim Ki O means „who is that anyway?”

“Pere Ubu is mainstream rock. Justin Timberlake is weird experimental music. Robbie Williams is avant-garde. Britney Spears is constantly coming up with something new and innovative. Pere Ubu does the same old thing. ‘New’ is a trap and a scam to dupe student-types and other naive people.”*

Pere Ubu is a band. It was formed in Cleveland in the mid-70s after the break-up of garage rock band Rockets From The Tombs. The most famous RFTT song is the Sonic Reducer. It would be a punk anthem by The Dead Boys, which was formed by the one half of RFTT.

Pere Ubu plays experimental rock. The only constant member is David Thomas. On his albums he has talked nonsene about art of walking and sleep walk, barking dogs and horses, guitars and girls, clouds and weather, honey moon and Monday morning, Steve and Michele, Heaven and Hell, ice cream truck and stolen Cadillac, the flames over Nebraska and winter in the Firelands, and so on until 414 seconds.

The moon and the monkeys are the two main motifs of the new Pere Ubu album Carnival of Souls. But you can also find there e.g. Greyhounds, maps, stars, love and duck. But if all these wouldn’t be tempting enough for you, a number of the songs were developed from an underscore composed for the classic B-category horror movie Carnival of Souls.
