Hopefully that honesty comes through.”

Jeanette the RNR666’s official pin-up girl
 has won the 1st prize of international
„Dead Elvis Is Everybody” contest

You have won this international contest. How do you feel now?

I’m really proud that as a member of RNR666 I have won this contest. Mr Dead Elvis is not too well known in Hungary, and when I uploaded the picture many people asked what this crazy stuff was.  I sent Mr. Dead’s music to them, and some of them went crazy about it, and wanted to see live how to creep out of the grave and kick a dirty party.  So, the Word is spreading…

How did you get acquainted with with the music of Dead Elvis?  Have you met the deceased in person by any chance?
I’ve heard, seen and got to know him at a RNR 666 party, of course.  Needless to say, I’m a huge fan ever since.  They often say that it’s not necessarily good to know your favourite personally, but Mr Elvis is an animal off-stage, too, he’s got RNR in his heart & soul and it was nice to get know him a bit more closely and have a chat.  He didn’t disappoint me.

What is your favourite Dead Elvis song?
Shot My Woman!!! Grrrrrrrrrhhhh

What do you plan to do with your prize?

I will wear my prize whenever I can.  It will go well with my Dead Elvis T-shirt. All I need now is a pair of Dead Elvis panties, but I haven’t found them yet. Hahaha:))

„Honey, it’s always the right time to do the wrong thing.”

After fall of the Acid House

here are the pioneers of Acid Basement. With a special taste of Anarcho-Jazz. And a little Melt-Banana feeling. Sometimes like a Japanese noise „rock” brigade from the 80s. Miraculous muddle by Guerilla Toss

„367 Equalizer” cassette EP on Infinity Cat Recordings (US)

During the listening read the list of fake jazz song titles!

„Sur le toit” i.e. On The Rooftops. It’s a very special album by two French musicians King Automatic and Mr. Verdun. King Automatic is a rock and roll one-man band, Mr. Verdun is from the folk punk duo Thee Verduns. They have written music for a real film noir, a documentary about French prison mutinies in the early 70s. Plain, cold and dark ballades, sometimes in Western style, some of them are like instrumental Tom Waits’ songs. Down by French law

After a bloody hostage-taking in the end of 1971 at Clairvaux Prison* all prisoners got general punishment in France. It led to a mutiny in Nancy in January. The prisoners protested against the cruel treatment, the harsh conditions, and sudden removal of the Christmas packages. They weren’t real criminals, rather poor and desperate young men without future, who were incarcerated owing to petit crimes. They occupied the building –  which is the centre of the city – and went up to the rooftops, from where they held the connection with the outside world. Outside the gate an organization for the penalty reform led by philosopher Michel Foucault and other intellectuals tried to intervene on behalf of them. The revolt was put down, but it evoked over thirty riots at other prisons.

*Clairvaux Prison lays on the site of the former Cistercian Abbey. It was turned into prison by the Revolution which demolished the Bastille.

There were lots of fanzine in Hungary in the late 80s and 90s. In our new series we cut album reviews out from these.

Straight Edge came from Győr. It was a relatively long-lived fanzine in the 90s. Its last issue(s?) was released together with Második Látás.

The Revco comes forward with more and more shameless, looser and better music from record to record. Of course with such a crew as that is working with Jourgensen… There are the big part of Ministry, Chris Connelly (Ministry, Murder Inc, Pigface), Louis Svitek (M.O.D. , Mindfunk, Pigface) Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard, Pigface, Tomahawk), Timothy Leary, etc.  If Rod Stewart listened to his Do Ya Think I’m Sexy from Revco, then he surely made a mess under himself in his joy, or in his pain.

Al Fin by Puerto Rican latino garage punk band LOS VIGILANTES

They gave a fantastic show in Budapest at RNR666 Party in May. Look!

Sweet & dynamic punk rock and roll in the manner of 60s’ girl groups and Ramones by The Shanghais with members of No Bunny’s backing band, Primitive Hearts and Pookie & The Poodlez. Their music comes Hunx & His Punx to my mind

Amazing heavy psychedelic space rock by White Hills. It has started in New York in the early 2000s, because Dave W. (guitar) was dissatisfied for previous bands and decided to start his own one. In the early recordings he played on every instrument alone, but then has found a fix mate, the bassist Ego Sensation. Dave W. was also discontented with the audience in the US, so they went to tour in Europe, where are roots of their Hawkwind, Pink Faires, PIL, NEU! and Amon Düül II influenced music. The first White Hills album on label released in 2005 by Julian Cope’s Fuck Off & Di Records in England. Since then they have been releasing their works continuously by various labels. And they are a really active band. Their second album (which was  self-released on limited edition CD in 2007) will be re-released in August

Euro tour in September!

Extended, almost 26 minutes long live version of The Speed Of Fear by English alternative rock band Gallon Drunk from their recent album The Soul Of The Hour is free to download. A 7 minutes long version:

Have you any idea of it?
Please let me introduce Kirik Cizgi to you.
It’s a keyboard-bass-drums trio with post punk inspired irrational melodic structures.
In Koppány’s view: „They are a bit like cooler No Wave bands like Bush Tetras or Talking Heads. But when I hear them I always have Czech bands in my mind,
like Psí Vojaci, Uz Jsme Doma, or sometimes the Russian N.O.M. (the early).
But Csikar had right when he said, ‘the Turkish Dragibus’, which is true for a few songs.”
