Swing Cremona is the fifth LP from Pierre Omer, but the first from Voodoo, even though their relation to Beat-Man is very old – from the seven LPs of The Dead Brothers (Swiss ‘funeral’ Rock n’roll) six were released by Voodoo, and members also regularly play at Reverend Beat-Man albums.

As the name of the band already suggests, this is a swing album, their own compositions, couple covers (Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin) and also the swinged version of ‘Miserlou’ familiar to many from Pulp Fiction. And I bet there is also one cover that RNR666’s favorite little toothless sonofabitch, Jerry Dammers (of the Specials) also played already.

I can again say this is a very good record, and not just for grandfathers! I consider myself an honest punkrock’n roller who also fancies death metal, and I still like it! Needless to say this stuff is light years from the pseudo-swing / old-timer crap that is so popular now in Hungary.

Pierre Omers’s Swing Revue

Swing Cremona / Voodoo Rhythm Records (2016)

Ez Pierre Omer  ötödik nagylemeze, de első a Voodoo-nál, a kapcsolat Beat-Man és közte viszont nagyon régi, hisz Omer anyazenekarának a The Dead Brothers-nek (svájci ‘funeral’ Rock n Roll band) eddigi hét nagylemezéből hat a Voodoo-nál jelent meg, és Reverend Beat-Man albumokon is rendszeresen játszanak Dead Brothers tagok.

Ahogy a zenekar nevéből is sejthető ez egy swing album, saját dalokkal és pár feldolgozással (Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin) és a leginkább a Pulp Fiction-ből ismert ‘Miserlou’ is be lett swingesítve. Szerintem van olyan is a feldolgozások közt, amit az RNR666 kedvenc kis fogatlan rohadéka, Jerry Dammers (the Specials) is játszott már.

Megint csak azt tudom mondani nagyon jó lemez, és nem csak nagypapáknak! Én kéremszépen egy becsületes punkrokkernek tarom magam, aki a death metáltól sem ugrik meg, mégis tetszik! Persze mondanom sem kell, hogy ez a cucc fényévekre van a Magyarországon oly népszerű kamu swing / old timer szarságoktól

On the Dark Side of Bluegrass with The Dead Brothers

The Swiss funeral folk band unites various style in his music. There are blues, country, hillbilly, French chanson, Balkan melodies, gospel, gipsy music, jazz and more. They have written music for such theatre productions as Orpheus In The Underworld, Elektra and Tales from the Vienna Wood of Ödön von Horvath, and reproduced Kurt Weill ‘s arrangements of Brechts’operas. Beside these, they’ve a gothic-country version of Franz Schubert’s lied cycle, Winterreise.

The Dead Brothers have many forms:
a puppet dancing show,
a folk guitar symphony orchestra,
a primitive banjo and accordion duo,
a summer piano cabaret band with slide guitar and fiddle,
three old acoustic Armenians sitting on chairs,
and the only real heavy metal band, a mega combo with three tubas, 9 other horns.

The new album „Black Mouse” is a romantic record about the Spiritus Rector (directing spirit) of the world with oriental tunes and medieval rhythm.
