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:

„Junkfood Forever, Bedtime Whatever” LP on Bachelor Records (Austria)

They’re on Euro Tour Now!

At the time, back in the early seventies the Vietnam war was still raging, Susan Dietrich and her husband Joel and their tiny daughter were political exiles, living like refugees in the States. Joel would be imprisoned for having resisted the draft. For nine years they had subsisted on spare change and meager sales of their artwork on the streets. Finding a dilapidated, old accordion in a junk store was the major cause in turning her life around.  And „the Space Lady began her odyssey on the streets of San Francisco in the late 70s, playing an accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony. Following the theft of her accordion, she invested in a then-new Casio keyboard…” and plays minimal prog lo-fi space pop.

“My music is the bastard child of Punk, Blues, Country, Hillbilly, Bluegrass, Chain Gang, Metal, and Classic Rock,” or in brief it’s “Depression Era Metal.”  About love and jelaousy, alcohol and drugs, sin and forgiveness and similar stupid, but very important human affairs.

There was a show in Budapest at RNR666 Party of course

Sweet & dynamic punk rock and roll in the manner of 60s’ girl groups and Ramones by The Shanghais with members of No Bunny’s backing band, Primitive Hearts and Pookie & The Poodlez. Their music comes Hunx & His Punx to my mind

Amazing heavy psychedelic space rock by White Hills. It has started in New York in the early 2000s, because Dave W. (guitar) was dissatisfied for previous bands and decided to start his own one. In the early recordings he played on every instrument alone, but then has found a fix mate, the bassist Ego Sensation. Dave W. was also discontented with the audience in the US, so they went to tour in Europe, where are roots of their Hawkwind, Pink Faires, PIL, NEU! and Amon Düül II influenced music. The first White Hills album on label released in 2005 by Julian Cope’s Fuck Off & Di Records in England. Since then they have been releasing their works continuously by various labels. And they are a really active band. Their second album (which was  self-released on limited edition CD in 2007) will be re-released in August

STRANGE HANDS of Bordeaux. 60s-like dynamic psych garage rock trio without bass, but with 12 strings guitars and organ.

„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”

CONDOMINIUM is signed by Sub Pop Records,

It’s so unfortunately and stupid name as good indie poppy noisy garage rock. Very.

Debut album by Belgian Mountain Bike on Humpty Dumpty Records (Belgium)

BLACK PUS / OOZING WOUND split 12″ featuring brand new tracks from each.
Out on 17th June by Thrill Jockey Records on limited edition LP/DL

BLACK PUS is „raucous and otherworldly” solo drum project of Brian Chippendale, the drummer of hard noise rock duo Lightning Bolt. He has been chosen by Björk and The Flaming Lips as a collaborator and played on Lee “Scratch” Perry’s Repentance album (2008). OOZING WOUND is a classic, but a little unorthodox thrash metal band, because there aren’t guitar solos. In May 2013 they opened up for Black Pus in their hometown Chicago… These songs aren’t from the split! Just as samples

Black Pus Euro tour June-July. Vienna June 30

„Self Employment is the key to an early grave, I see this in lots of musician friends of mine as well. You are your own travel agent, your own booking agent, your own photographer, your own graphic designer, your own manager, your own producer… on top of that you are a musician. With my show I am the drummer, singer, guitarist and sometimes harmonica player, you could say it is not a way of life, it IS life”.
