This was a happy Wednesday morning because I have got the new album ROACH GOIN’ DOWN of American avant-punk girl trio PALBERTA. On this album Ani, Nina, and Lily continue to pave the way as innovators in the field of guitar-based music, delivering a barrage of twisted, catchy hymns that manage to be both challenging and feverishly compelling. They combine the band’s signature frenetic instrumentation with a thoroughly developed pop sensibility that fans merely glimpsed on previous releases. And this time it’s grounded by a lyrical nuance and newfound melancholy that gives the record an air of maturity compared to previous releases. But best describe their music what I’ve found on their FB page:

“You wanna wabbada? Wap wap wap dabbada?
You see that mabada? ding ding dack dabbada?”

Album on Bandcamp

Amazing Swiss alternative rock post punk band PETER KERNEL‘s new album THE SIZE OF THE NIGHT is coming very soon. Here’s a song from it

One of the two key members is the bassist Barbara Lehnhoff, with whom you can read an interview with reference to her amazing electronic side project CAMILLA SPARKSSS here.

Prophet and provocateur IAN SVENONIUS, the writer of books THE PSYCHIC SOVIET and CENSORSHIP NOW!!, who runs the cynic rock and roll band CHAIN & THE GANG,

in 1990 he was chosen „the most perfect boyfriend material” and got the title „SASSIEST BOY OF AMERICA” by teen girl mag Sassy, next year his Washington DC hc-punk band THE NATION OF ULYSSES released its debut album 13-POINT PROGRAM TO DESTROY AMERICA.

Later he tried to flee marketing culture with his psychedelic gospel group THE MAKE-UP. During their way they were hunted by mysterious government agencies as you can watch it in their film Blue Is Beautiful.

Now this sassiest boy introduces you to the art of ESCAPE-ISM with his brand new poetic one-man rock and roll show and album. This full show was shot in the Hungarian town Szeged this summer at JAZZ KOCSMA somewhere around Mullholland Drive

The album INTRODUCTION TO ESCAPE-ISM

will be released in November on Merge Records (US)

USA + EU TOUR OCT/NOV/DEC UK, Amsterdam, FRANCE, Munich, ITALY

London 18/11  Manchester 19/11  Glasgow 20/11  Nottingham 21/11

„I like rotten expensive arrogant self-destructive white male culture. Punk was too energetic and positive for me.” Ben Wallers

The Wall is recognized as one of the most famous concept albums of all time. Bass guitarist Roger Waters conceived the album as a rock opera during Pink Floyd’s 1977 In the Flesh Tour, when his frustration with the audience became so acute that he spat on them. Its story, which follows themes of abandonment and personal isolation, explores Pink, a character whom Waters modeled after himself and Syd Barrett who one time was the main songwriter of the band, but was fired owing to psychedelic behaviour in 1968. Later he turned into a silent mad. Well, Pink’s life begins with the loss of his father during the Second World War, and continues with abuse from his schoolteachers, an overprotective mother, and the breakdown of his marriage; all contribute to his eventual self-imposed isolation from society, represented by a metaphorical wall.

Ben Wallers said about: – I don’t find Roger’s lyrics embarrassing if I listen to The Wall with my Mom; but if I listen to Animals with my Dad, I get embarrassed and have to go to the toilet, sorry I mean bathroom.

Anyway Waters is the really interesting character for me. A hopeless case, an utter shit-head. Brilliant character actor and composer. But I have to confess it was burnt into me at age 11/12/13 when I got into ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, ‘A Collection of Great Dance Songs’, ‘The Final Cut’ and ‘The Wall’. I loved them unquestioningly.

So much so that he and Alastair Mackinven also from Country Teasers now show you THE DARK SIDE OF THE WALL on their song for song interpretation triple album under name of THE STALLION.

Apropos of their work they quote inaccurately the cop who shuts the jailcell gate on Woody Allen’s character in „Deconstructing Harry”: – Let me give you some advice: YOU’RE IN DEEP SHIT.

It will release soon on IN THE RED RECORDS (US)

GREAT BUY, CRUEL WORLD!

‘Fuck it! You want a strong hook? I’ll give you a fucking strong hook!’

By Jonathan, SHILPA RAY could be Patti Smith and Iggy Pop love child with Allen Ginsberg as the midwife. Maybe, I do not know, but her new album DOOR GIRL released now, and it is among the best ones this year. She is coming from New York, living in a love and hate relationship with the city where she works as a door girl at Pianos bar. And this door girl tells stories about the city and its people who are living in a big sweet rotting apple like worms.

She has started to write this album after she was rejected by record labels and booking agents because ‘she doesn’t write strong enough hooks.’ ‘Fuck it! You want a strong hook? I’ll give you a fucking strong hook!’ And then she wrote the first song for the album in about an hour or so, really angry.

Musically this record is all digging into what she felt was indigenous from New York City, so a lot of the influences came from doo-wop, punk, noise, hip-hop and no-wave.

This song ‘EMT Police and the Fire Department’ is about a hot summer night at the Pianos when somebody called the ambulance, the cops, and the fire-brigade, and they arrived at the same time

‘It was like one of those nights in the summer when you know there’s a lot of trouble about to happen, because it gets swampy and hot and everybody goes crazy… I’ve definitely seen people fighting in the front. It breaks out in this massive wave: it gradually happens and then somebody calls out some kind of a sexist or racial slur, because they always just go to that… Then the whole place just goes crazy. I’ve definitely seen somebody break a bottle over a guy’s head before over something really stupid.’

DOOR GIRL ON TOUR in October in UK, France, Italy, Poland, Slovakia and Czech Republic, in November in the US. So if you want a strong hook, she will give you a fucking strong hook.

UK DATES: 3 > Brighton – Green Door Store, 4 > London – The Social, 5 > Glasgow – 13th Note Cafe, 7 > Gateshead – The Central Bar, 8 > Hull – Adelphi Club

If you want to know more about her songs, she talks about here

“I would believe only in a god who could dance. And when I saw my devil I found him serious, thorough, profound, and solemn: it was the spirit of gravity – through him all things fall.”

It is a long story that Hungary how can get to the edge of a civil war after 27 years of the fall of Communism. This is not the right place to write about. But what’s going on:

The Hungarian government has been changed the law of education in order to close the Central European Univerity because it is an independent organization. But in Hungary, just dependent and subjected organizations are OK for the ruling party Fidesz.

During the demonstrations, the corrupt leaders of the ruling party have threatened other universities, organizations, and everybody who stand back freedom of education and civil liberties. The Fidesz usually use the power of „white trash” to gain its goals: football hooligans, far-right groups, its para-military bands together with violent pensioners with acid full with communist nostalgia, and wish for the strong man, who defend themselves against „EU”, „migrants” and „liberalism”, which is a swear-word in the Hungarian right and far-left wing dictionary, it also means „jew”, „Jewish”.

It will emerge in this times that Hungary will be a European style liberal democratic civil country, or de facto a Russian puppet state, and a national socialist officer country on the periphery, who lends money to the Iranian nuclear program.

ALL TOUR DATES ON NORTHERN SPY WEBSITE

LA COLONIE DE VACANCES

started as a collective tour of French bands

ELECTRIC ELECTRIC + MARVIN + PAPIER TIGRE + PNEU

in the summer of 2010.

The idea of 11 musicians playing together emerged on that tour at Tours’ Festival Rayons Frais where they were invited to play at the 4 corners of Tours’ Castle courtyard. This turned into ‘LA COLONIE DE VACANCES’, a quadraphonic sound system, throwing the audience in the center of a musical ping-pong game played by two, three or four teams. This has been turned into a 10″ vinyl + a 100 illustrated pages book.

The vinyl – titled Concentric Grooves – is a very specific one because it is readable in multi-grooves. The concept was borrowed from Monty Python’s album Matching Tie and Handkerchief from 1973. It was mastered with two concentric grooves on side two so that different material would be played depending on where the stylus was put down on the record’s surface.

1 THEME, 4 VARIATIONS, each interpreted by random members

It will be released on 22 April, Disquaire Day

on KYTHIBONG and MURAILLES MUSIC and SUPER LOTO EDITIONS (F)
