lo-fi, minimal, but real bed- & bathroom pop with 3 eggs
by Tomorrows Tulips

„Baby” & „Glued to You” from the album „When”

Strange Yonder (AUS, Sept 22) – Ayo Silver (EU, Sept 27) – Burger Recs (US, Oct 7)

They have written that their new album shows the band’s evolution through a blend of pop sensibilities with post punk and noise rock. OK, but every music after punk is post punk. And compared to this, every rock is noise.

Euro tour in Oct

Susan from LA. Indie guitar pop with garage rock taste. Quite like a band from the better ones on Slumberland Records. Sometimes so good like the Breeders. Drummer from Texan garage rock band Cowabunga Babes, and its garage punk side project The Vomettes.

Debut 7″ on Volar Records (US)

+ cassette with 2 more songs on Burger Records (US)

The Canadian quartet New Swears play Black Lips-like garage rock’n’roll while they name the infamous, hyper dirty ultra sexual rap gang, 2 Live Crew as influence. I think no need to say more:

„Hell is a good place to write songs, get smashed, take drugs and destroy your sanity, well-being, future and relationships.” – Warren Thomas

More excerpts from interviews:

Aquarium Drunkard: Even in 2010, when I first saw you (The Growlers – boys from the acid beach) live, you had a percussion player who wore a swimsuit and played the bongos in a beach chair for the entire show.
Brooke Nielson: Warren (Thomas)! He’s the man. He’s doing his own shit again—he’s got a new band called The Abigails. Warren was a great party vibe. Everything was a party. Just getting a slice of pizza was a pizza party.

LA Record: Where are you from?
Warren: Like most people, my dad fucked my mom and nine months later I came out of her pussy.

Outlaw country with voice of Lee Hazelwood. Warren has got it by the aid of diabolical practices.

In Keith Richards’ view
Natural Child is just the second best rock and roll band of the world.
You can read from this and find more stories about the band
on the famous RNR666’s interview.

„Take me far from everyone.” A social extrovert wax witch with keyboards and guitar plays party punk. But I would go away from that party after 10 min, because his songs are cruelly long on this album.  Above 3 min! But he hasn’t enough talent to do such things. He should stay under 3 min.

Wax Witches – „Centre Of Your Universe” album on Stop Start Music in July (Aus) and Burger Records in Sept (US)

Futeisha, a brand new project on the flourishing Italian psychedelic scene. It’s a solo effort of psychedelic rock band La Piramide di Sangue guitarist Juan Francisco Scassa. He is not alone sure. His mates are from such great rock band as Movie Star Junkies and Vernon Sélavy. Instead of rock they play mystical mish-mash folk, or „Occultism and Kebab.”

„Dannato” cassette on Brigadisco (Italy) and Old Bicycle Records (Switzerland). Cover art by Paula H. Satán (of JC Satán). It based on an engraving of Pieter Bruegel the elder.

Futeisha. In Japanese: Outlaws. It was an anarchist group in the early 1920s. Its two leaders was sentenced to death for high treason, but it was changed to life imprisonment. The woman tore the pardon letter up and refused to say thank the emperor. She committed suicide in the cell at her age of 23.  The man released after 22 years in 1945, later became a North-Korean politician.

„No more time for my beloved laziness”- said Joel Gion, the crazy tambourine man of serious psychedelic rock band Brian Jonestown Massacre, and after his solo single now here is the album which was recorded with a bunch of his friends. Joel thinks a lot of people are going to be surprised by this album. „Psych, Mod, Britpop, Shoegaze and Post Punk are just some of the sounds that come into play on this very unique record.” A lazy psychedelic britpop

„Solo Paradise” MOLLY NILSSON‘s musical reports from Buenos Aires. Bittersweet heart beats, sunny economic breaks, romantic cats and plane crash. The Latin mood didn’t touch very much her Scandinavian attitude. She’s one of the most interesting performers in the synth pop underground.

Sólo Paraíso (The Summer Songs) on Night School Records (UK)

+ „These Things Take Time”, her debut CDr from 2008 is on double LP with unreleased recordings from the same period  by Dark Skies Association (Swe)

In the future too:  “Our knives are never dull / our moon is always full”

Stupid, unimaginative video Vs Absolute garage pop hit
I Got The Moves

by the 4 pieces Brooklyn based all girl band, Habibi.
They plays Motown influenced mystical oriental minimal garage beats.

debut album on Burger (US)
debut single on Born Bad Records (France)

Audacity is rather a power pop band than a garage punk. But in their early times they were a real great garage punk band. Their lost and found first recordings from 2007 are out now.

„Juva Jive” 10″ EP and digital on Cut-Rate, cassette on Burger Records (USA). The best Audacity album forever.

Italian psychedelic rock band La Piramide di Sangue loves you in oriental mood

„Sette” LP and digital  on Boring Machines (Italy)

It’s a seven musician ensemble from Torino. The sound is built on two guitars, two basses, one clarinet, one synth, several effects, drums and percussions. It has started as a solo project of Gianni Giublena Rosacroce (clarinet, percussions) who is an alter-ego of Stefano Isaia, the singer of blues rock and roll band Movie Star Junkies.

Industrial blues where performance and body art meet improvisation and noise on the album „Wölfli’s Nightmare” by Sudden Infant on Voodoo Rhythm.

He is a Swiss composer, body and performance artist. Composed music for contemporary dance, theater, films, radio plays, and installations. Among his numerous collaborations there are Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and The New Blockaders.

Wölfli (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. An article about Art Brut and Wölfli in Hungarian.

When I have heard the Sunday Morning at first yesterday I was delighted at it because I thought that it’s a „real time” song but it was written in 1958 by Margo Guryan.

She is singer, songwriter, lyricist and musician, her sole album was released in 1968. Her songs was recorded by Carmen McRae, Julie London, Dizzy Gillespie, Harry Nilsson, Saint-Etienne and many others. She refused to tour so she became disinteresting for the music industry as a performer, but worked on as writer and produced records for others. Then she worked as a piano teacher and produced music books for students. In 2007, she released a new single, entitled „16 Words”. The track refers to one phrase from a speech of G.W. Bush in 2003. Look!
