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

„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.

Adolf Wölfli’s Nightmare
10 children 60 seconds 0 toys 800000000 cars
industrial blues where performance and body art
meet improvisation and noise
from the album “Wölfli’s Nightmare” by SUDDEN INFANT
on Voodoo Rhythm
SUDDEN INFANT was started as a one man project by Swiss composer, performance and body artist Christian Weber 25 years before. In May it has transformed into a trio during the recording session with Alexandre Babel (drums) and Joke Lanz (electronics,vocal).
Wölfli le Grand (1864-1930) was a Swiss art brut artist, unconscious father of the surrealism and a mental patient. He used the Campbell’s soup cans as artistic motif at first.

The Second Best Rock and Roll Band of the World
The Natural Child is one of the best rock’n’roll bands recently. They started as a trio in Nashville, 2009. They are mixing garage rock, blues and punk elements in their music. During the years they have been influenced by the roots of rock and roll, so their blues burns with more power, their rock has a pretty heavy taste and they also add country elements to their music, while they just simply keep the élan of punk.
The Second Best Rock and Roll Band of the World
an interview with Seth (g/v)
Nashville is the capital of country music. How does it influence the average days there?
In Nashville everything is from the country, or from its profits. Many offices and bureaus use the Peace in the Valley (really very famous country song) for when they put you on hold on the phone. Country music also determined my life, because my grandfather was an excellent country guitarist. He played with Red Foley and Hank Williams. Lots of celebrated musicians took part in his famous all night long boozing and playing music in his home, like Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, one or twice Elvis Presley. My father could tell about these parties. I smoked weed for the first time on a morning after a party like this. I was nine or ten. My mother sent me over to grandpa for something. Everybody was sleeping, except Willie Nelson (multiple Grammy winner country legend) . He was sitting in the garden and offered me his cigarette. I asked him: what is this? He said „God’s gift to the suffering people.”

Little Big Chief News
Little Big Chief Records is an independent label and distro specializing in bullshit. It is based out of a hole of a town in middling Virginia.
Harsh Pre-War Blues and Gospel Trash by Ragtime Frank from Australia. He uses his voice like Derek Bailey (English avant-garde guitarist and leading figure in the free improvisation movement) uses his guitar, his guitar like Joan La Barbara (American vocalist and composer known for her non-conventional vocal techniques) uses her voice, pairs up with a drummer who handles his kit like the bloke from The Monks, had he just nearly drowned in a pool of bourbon… 2 tracks from the forthcoming LP
Hollywood Autopsy was an art punk band in Wisconsin between 1981-83. Two contemporary views about their sole album:
„Mining a sixties garage territory somewhere between Jad Fair’s atonal art damage and Flipper’s molasses music, Wisconsin’s Hollywood Autopsy have produced an album of deliberately bad, artsily, anti-arty, aharmonic, and droning low-fi.” „PiL meets the Shaggs, Cramps, and Butthole Surfers on a bad ’60s acid trip, stumble over Flipper’s corpse, and rise (barely) above the basement. Enter the ghost of the 13th Floor Elevators, and you have it.” Reissue
