O LENDÁRIO CHUCROBILLYMAN – oh how beautiful this name – IS A ONE-MAN-BAND FROM BRAZIL – who sell his soul to the devil on the corner of Rio Iguazu and Rio Negro – HE PLAYS AMAZON DELTA BLUES – this is my favourite song from him:

It is on his latest album MAN MONKEY which RELEASED ON VINYL now. If you want to buy please write to him: klauskoti AT gmail.com. CD and digital versions are available via his label Fon-Fon Records

But what is Macumba? It is a name of an African drum and a popular chaotic religion-like something in South-America, which combines elements of many different religions like voodoo. There is a ritual with drums, dance, sacrifice of animals and other offerings for the spirits. There is a master who can connect with spirits, of course in trance, and can ask them to do good or bad things – especially in love and money matters, because the worshippers are interested in these mysterious things mainly. During the liturgy the congregation falls into trance, and on the end of the service they will have just a little reminiscence about what exactly happened. Exactly like in the profane way of worship of spirits.

Because an average person also can connect with spirits through his lips. In these case those spirits are in bottles and you need swallow them. The trance comes right after the empty bottles. During the process at first the good spirits will be victorious, but after a total blackout the bad spirits will rule your body.

But if you are lucky enough will find a cold beer in your fridge.

Galaxie 500 was an influential American indie rock band between 1987 and 91, and released three albums. Somebody said their music is such as if Jonathan Richman (The Modern Lovers) would be backed by The Velvet Underground.

The Blog That Celebrate Itself Records in Sao Bernardo, Brazil just has released a „name your price” tribute album. You can find there indie, dreamy, psychedelic rock, for example also by a big favourite, the Mexican psychedelic rock duo Lorelle Meets The Obsolete. While I was listening to the album just lay on my bed, sometimes dropped off a little, sometimes sipped my beer, and said: so good. Because it is long enough, it is perfect for longer snoozes too.

THEE DIRTY RATS the name of the bands that two brazilian animal who will play in Budapest at 14 OF MAY! We asked some questions to deeper understand the DIRTYRATSISM!

RNR666: Please introduce yourself, who is who and who play what?

Luis: We are Thee Dirty Rats from São Paulo, Brazil; since 2014, I am Luis Tissot I play cigar box guitar and vocals; Fernando Hitman plays the drum and vocals

RNR666: That brutal guitar sound is because of the cigar box guitar do you have, or you have some tricks? Please tell me more about your instrument!

Luis: I built this cigar box together with Fernando. We used parts of old guitars, a Wooden box from my grandma and a piece of an old window to make the neck. we didn’t spend money but it was a lot of work and we didn’t know If it would work or not, but the idea was to make something that would sound wild. I plug it in a hand made fuzz pedal and that sounded great! It ain’t got frets so it has to be played in a intuitive way it makes crazy feedback sounds very particular. I don’t know how long this guitar’s gonna last but has been good for two years and lots of crazy wild shows.

RNR666: Your sound is pretty weird. One part is old school rock n roll / blues and another is like dance punk / synth punk. I fuckin like that mechanical drumming!

Luis: Fernando developed his way to play drums to fit with the weird sound of the cigar box on fuzz. The songs are influenced by garage rock and punk which is our natural background but we also dig some new wave and old school hip hop beats. So we added a budget effect on the snare to sound more like it.

RNR666: Luis! You were here in HUNgary as one time Go-go Boy from Alabama >> full show here!<< and another time one from Human Trash, now you are going with duo of Dirty Rats. How many project do you have?

Luis: A lot of projects with different people all over the world. I love to play and record so I want to do as many as I can. I also play on Jesus And The Groupies, The Great Munzini and The Astonishing Sotos, Facka, Jazz Beat Committee…

RNR666: At all, what are your memories from Hungary? Both times in Budapest was wild shows!!!

Luis: Most of the time thermal bath is fun. The Lovely friends make Me come back as often as possible.

RNR666: Tell me more about Sao Paulo music scene! Yeah!! who is that guy who run Scrap Metal Dealer records, i LOVE his artworks (covers and flyers)!!!!!!

Luis: He is Trash Colapso from Buenos Aires, Argentina (Oops, i thought he is from SP, sorry!). He is a great one man band and play in the coolest Argentina band Sarcofagos Blues Duo which I had the pleasure to produced their last two records at my studio „Caffeine”. Since 2005 I’ve been producing bands at my studio from garage rock to crust core. São Paulo have a strong punk, metal, hip hop scene and also some small gethos of experimental, noise, post punk and garage. it’s a good place to see live bands in small pubs. It’s a crazy city of 20 million people with a lot of social problems, unemployment, homelessness, lack of schools, poverty, drugs abuse, violence, street art, noise, it’s inspiring for sure.

RNR666: What merchandies are you bring on tour?

Luis: Thee Dirty Rats new 7″ Vinyl „traps and mass confusion” which is our 3rd release. We’re also bringing cassette tapes and CDs from preview releases. Thee Dirty Rats shirt looks good and some 7″ records from Jesus and The Groupies, Human Trash, Great Munzini and Bloody Mary.

RNR666: What do you do next playing music? How do you spend your days in SP?

Luis: Beside the studio work I hang around with my 9 years old son.

RNR666: Did you like in your childhood F 1, (there was many good brasilian racer) Senna or Fittipaldi possibly Piquet ? I used to like hahahah! I liked Fittipaldi very much but i hated Piquet.

Luis: Yeah sure Senna were our hero at the time the economy and politic was in a very bad situation, he made people forget for a Sunday about the shit times we were living.

RNR666: Your 5 favorites album all time?

Luis:
1. Velvet Underground – V.U.

2. The Stooges – Raw Power

3. Rollin’ Stones – Exile On Main Street

4. Gun Club – Fire Of Love

5. RL Burnside and Blues Explosion – A Pocket Ass Of Whisky

Akinek fogalma sincs a THEE DIRTY RATSről, sőt azt sem érti igazán, hogy mi a faszért olvas most épp egy, erről a két derék brazilról szóló posztot, azoknak segítségül elmondjuk, hogy MÁJUS 14-ÉN BUDAPESTEN AZ ÚJFÉSZEKBEN fognak fellépni, pontosabban szétbaszni az agyakat, kábé így:

A félreértések elkerülése végett, pedig tisztázzuk: az alábbi képen nem dörti recceket látsz, tekintve, hogy alaposan meg lettek mosva csomagolás előtt. Jó étvágyat!

RNR666: Mutatkozzatok be! Ki min játszik?

Luis: A Thee Dirty Rats vagyunk Sau Pauloból, 2014 ben alakultunk, én Luis Tissot vagyok énekelek és cigar box gitáron játszom, Fernando Hitman dobol és énekel.

RNR666: A brutál gitárhangzásotok a cigar box gitárnak köszönhető, vagy van valami egyéb trükköd is? Kérlek mondj valamit a nem mindennapi hangszeredről!

Luis: Fernandoval együtt építettük a gitárt egy régi gitár alkatrészeiből, egy nagyanyámtól szervált fadoboz és egy ablakkeret felhasználásával. Nem került semmi pénzünkbe, de sokat dolgoztunk vele és nem lehetett tudni beválik-e vagy sem. Olyan gitárt akartunk ami jó vadul szól majd. Amikor kész lett rákötöttem egy házi készítésű fuzz pedálra, és működött a dolog !!! Nincsenek bundok, így elég speckó rajta játszani de így még különlegesebben szól. Már két éve használom, nem tudom mennyi van még neki hátra, de már sok vad bulit kiszolgált.

RNR666: Nagyon fura a hangzásotok, egyfelől ott van az alap rock n roll / Blues, másfelől meg olyan mint valami szinti punk / dance punk. Nagyon tetszik az a mechanikus dobolás amit Fernando hoz.

Luis: Fernando kitalált egy dobolási stílust magának ami passzol a gitárom speciális megszólalásához. Fő hatásaink a punkból és a garage rockból jönnek, de csípjük a new wave meg az old school Hip-Hop ütemeket is így a pergőre tettünk egy kis effektet, hogy hasonlítson ahhoz a hangzáshoz.

RNR666: Luis! Harmadjára jársz majd május 14. én Budapesten, három különböző bandával (először mint Fabuolus Go-Go Boy From Alabama >> teljes koncert itt !!! << azután a Human Trash trioval). Hány projekted van összesen?

Luis: Sok projektem van, sok emberrel a világ minden tájáról. Szeretek játszani, felvételeket készíteni, szóval amennyi csak belefér annyit csinálok. Van a Jesus And The Groupies, a The Great Munzini & The Astonishing Sotos (Ez Dead Elvis- el), a Facka, aJazz Beat Committee…

RNR666: Amúgy milyen emlékeid vannak Magyarországról?

Luis: A termál fürdő volt a legjobb! The Lovely friends make Me come back as often as possible.

RNR666: Mondjál már valamit a Sao Paulo -i zenei életről! Ja, meg ki az a srác aki a Scrap Metal Records- ot nyomatja? Kurvára imádom a borítóit meg a szórólapjait!

Luis: Ő Trash Colapso, Buenos Aires- ból Argentínából. (RNR666: Hoppá én azt hittem Sao Paulo -i.) Egy nagyon jó One Man Band és Sarcofagos Blues Duo tagja is ami Argentína legfaszább bandája és külön öröm, hogy az utolsó két lemezüket velem rögzítették a saját, Caffeine nevű stúdiómban. 2005 óta működik a stúdió, mindenféle bandával dolgozok, garage rock -tól a crust core -ig. Sao Pauloban nagyon erős a punk a metal és a hip-hop színtér, de jelen van az experimental, a noise, a post punk meg a  garage is. Sok a kis kocsma, ahol élő zene szól. Egy 20 milliós város rengeteg társadalmi problémával, munkanélküliséggel, hajléktalannal, szegénységgel, kábítószerrel, erőszakkal, street art-al és zajjal. Elég inspiráló az biztos!

RNR666: Miket tudunk majd vásárolni tőletek a MÁJUS 14-ÉN A KONCERTEN? Miket hozol magaddal a tournéra?

Luis: Hát a Thee Dirty Rats új 7 incses kislemezét a  „Traps and mass confusion„- t meg az előző kazettáinkat, cd- inket, frankó polonk is van, aztán Jesus &  the Groupies, Human Trash, Great Munzini és Bloody Mary. 7 incseseket.

RNR666: Mivel töltöd a napjaid, ha éppen nem zenélsz?

Luis: A stúdiómban dolgozok vagy a 9 éves kisfiammal vagyok.

RNR666: Szeretted valaha a F1- et? Sok jó brazil pilóta volt, Fittipaldi, Senna, Piquet (mondjuk őt mindég utáltam – Cs. P.).

Luis: Sennát persze! Ő egy hős volt. Abban az időben a gazdasági meg a politikai helyzet nagyon rossz volt Brazíliában, Senna legalább a vasárnapi futamok idejére elfeledtette az emberekkel, hogy milyen szar az élet.

RNR666: Öt kedvenc lemezed?

2. The Stooges – Raw Power

3. Rollin’ Stones – Exile On Main Street

4. Gun Club – Fire Of Love

5. RL Burnside and Blues Explosion – A Pocket Ass Of Whisky

Danceable noisy electronic beats by Martial Canterel, aka Sean McBride, who is one half of synth-pop duo Xeno & Oaklander. His new album bears very strange title: „Gyors, Lassú”. For the majority of the Universe: it’s in Hungarian; pronunc: diorsh, lushew; means: quick, slow. Sean is a New Yorker, he also loves our hometown, and now living in a small town in Campania, Teano. The album is about these cities, and the wanderings between these. Funny that sometimes he writes in Hungarian on his fb page.

On the cover there is a figure from the so-called Hungarian deck of card: Stüszi vadász (Stüssi hunter), otherwise Tökfilkó, which means Blockhead in the vernacular. Strange fact that on the cards the depicted characters and scenes are taken from Friedrich Schiller’s William Tell. The Swiss figures substitute for Hungarian historical heroes and scenes, because at the time of birth of card (around 1835), Hungary was one province of the Hapsburg Empire, and there was hard censorship.

One of the seven fundamental principles in the ancient Hindu scince of health is the RAKTA i.e. Blood. This has been choosen by 4 Brazilian girls for their progressive deathrock band
