Sometimes Art is Scarf
ART IS HARD is a small independent record label in Bristol (UK) run by two friends influenced by the attitude and ethics of labels such as Factory, Wichita, Anticon and Dischord. They have a strange habit: release things – mainly postcards – with music, but they published a scarf with download code too.
To celebrate their seventh birthday they asked seven label artists Samuel Stacpoole from Black Tambourines, KEEL HER, /please/, The Death of Pop, Shunkan, Gorgeous Bully, Oro Swimming Hour to record a 50 second song. Each track is an infectious burst of garage balladry, lo-fi bliss or trademark jangle:
300 copies black 7″ flexidisc with gold foil artwork with a postcard containing a download code. And if you would like to get postcards with music regularly then join the club.
#o2 MARAUDEUR | MARAUDEUR LP + SWIMMING POOL SCENES MIX AND MATCH
Post-happymonday post and post-salute to the post-punk lo-fi Maraudeur from Geneva, Switzerland, who were swirling through England last week!
After some tapes and an orange flexidisc this is their first LP released by the Parisian Bruit Direct Disques, the association for brick throwers, worldwide.
The vid of Nothing Will Change was recorded by the Californian Oakland based The Grassy Null Studio on VHS. The recording studio has been supporting such bands like Meat Market, Froth or Charlie Megira through years
If a swimming pool scene had a match and described a band that would be the prime for the Maraudeur: Strange Afternoon In The Swimming Pool + Hesher
more mix and match
Hidden Track (split Maraudeur/Purpur Spytt) + Julie and Franc’s sexually aroused scene from Francois Ozon’s Swimming Pool.
Dust Dries on It’s Rest (Maraudeur) + Hot Rod‘s wacky pool scene in the direction of The Lonely Island trio.

#o1 CHRIS LIBERATOR | STAY UP FOREVER COLLECTIVE
ACID TECHNO : A WAY OF LIFE NOT A FASHION STATEMENT
A rebel, the founder of the Stay Up Forever record label and collective, which has been going against the mainstream since ’93.
Turning from the punk towards techno raves in the early 90s, started hosting-supporting squat and warehouse parties, thus created their own crowd and party scene in London. Linked up with the Conspiracy and Bedlam Sound System for Chris and his friends it was a forthright move to the Spiral Tribe and its traveller scene. Then they got involved in such free raves as Lechlade and Castlemorton Common Fest in ’92. Now it was really only within a reach to set up a record label which represents their sound and keeps up this network.
As the collective began with spinning some of those German producers’s records like Hardfloor (who can be considered as one of the pioneers of the acid sound) their own way led to the evolution of the acid techno: the fusion of goa, hard trance, techno and acid house which in time became fast and grungy; fine tuned by raw, anarchist vibes.
So this November the label celebrates the 25th anniversary of it’s existence, the never-ending 90’s, the everlasting raves.

YOU’RE IN DEEP SHIT
„I like rotten expensive arrogant self-destructive white male culture. Punk was too energetic and positive for me.” Ben Wallers
The Wall is recognized as one of the most famous concept albums of all time. Bass guitarist Roger Waters conceived the album as a rock opera during Pink Floyd’s 1977 In the Flesh Tour, when his frustration with the audience became so acute that he spat on them. Its story, which follows themes of abandonment and personal isolation, explores Pink, a character whom Waters modeled after himself and Syd Barrett who one time was the main songwriter of the band, but was fired owing to psychedelic behaviour in 1968. Later he turned into a silent mad. Well, Pink’s life begins with the loss of his father during the Second World War, and continues with abuse from his schoolteachers, an overprotective mother, and the breakdown of his marriage; all contribute to his eventual self-imposed isolation from society, represented by a metaphorical wall.
Ben Wallers said about: – I don’t find Roger’s lyrics embarrassing if I listen to The Wall with my Mom; but if I listen to Animals with my Dad, I get embarrassed and have to go to the toilet, sorry I mean bathroom.
Anyway Waters is the really interesting character for me. A hopeless case, an utter shit-head. Brilliant character actor and composer. But I have to confess it was burnt into me at age 11/12/13 when I got into ‘Dark Side of the Moon’, ‘A Collection of Great Dance Songs’, ‘The Final Cut’ and ‘The Wall’. I loved them unquestioningly.
So much so that he and Alastair Mackinven also from Country Teasers now show you THE DARK SIDE OF THE WALL on their song for song interpretation triple album under name of THE STALLION.
Apropos of their work they quote inaccurately the cop who shuts the jailcell gate on Woody Allen’s character in „Deconstructing Harry”: – Let me give you some advice: YOU’RE IN DEEP SHIT.
It will release soon on IN THE RED RECORDS (US)

For many years, LYDIA LUNCH has envisioned a collective dedicated to funeral arts. That seed was finally planted in 2012 when The Phantom Family Halo supported Lunch’s Retrovirus’ US tour. Lydia spotted Dahm of Phantom Family Halo wearing an undertaker jacket while performing in NYC. It has turned out that Dahm Majuri Cipolla, a descendant of Edgar Allen Poe, has been interested in undertaking and the funeral arts since a young boy. It is of no surprise that he spent his formative years inhabiting a funeral home in Louisville, KY where he fell in love with our in-house mortician, Sara Majuri Cipolla.

And this picture! I’ve found it recently. Oh how I like this
It was shot by the police during a general raid in Budapest in 1972.
Lots of pictures from the same raid. A travel through the night. Through pubs and streets and bars and restaurants and taverns. Meet every kind of figures, even a police dog. And finally go to the police station by a paddy-waggon.
Donkey and Music
The Republic of Macedonia is a little country in the middle of the Balkans which has become independent during the break-up of Yugoslavia in the early 90s. And there is an underground music scene.
The Yugoslavian underground was very strong and rampant in the last decade of the South Slav confederacy with many great and strange artists like the Slovenian Laibach, Borghesia, the Serbian Disciplina Kicme, the Montenegrin Rambo Amadeus, the Croatian Satan Panonski, the Hungarian Bada Dada, and lots of others. But I heard about Macedonian underground artists nothing. Until recently when the various artists album „Magare i muzika” (Donkey and Music) has been released on BALKAN VELIKI RECORDS.
It’s a surprisingly good and colourful album about the Macedonian underground from indie pop new wave via psych-folk punk to electronic beats. And exception of Dj Zdena – who played at RNR666 Party in Budapest – and Bernays Propaganda – who makes tours in Europe often – there are totally unknown artists for me. But there are not just Macedonian artists like the Croatian Lutajuci Dj Zdena or the English Membranes because they were also released by BALKAN VELIKI. And at the moment I have realized that hc-punk jazz fusion band Mnjenje is Serbian. So this album represents a wider region, what means the ex-Yugoslvaian underground is strong and rampant. But unfortunately there are two horrible hard rock songs in the middle of the album:
Anyway, I was curious about the Macedonian people, and it has turned out they are descendants of orthodox Slavs who did not run away and did not become Greeks, Bulgarians or Serbs during the last 150 years. After waves of different national proselytization some of them realized that anyway they are Macedonians. At first officially the separate Macedonian ethnicity was recognised by Communist International in 1934 because Soviet Russia wanted to use the network of Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization to revolutionize the Balkans. Funny, that year the organization was banned and dissolved in Bulgaria where it was state within the state. But after this they could manage to kill the Yugoslavian king and – if he already was there – the French Foreign Minister in Marseille same year within the framework of Croatian – Italian – Hungarian cooperation.

The Jazz Punk Colossals
Often there is nothing good when old punk bands reunite, but now
sax riddled tuneless semi punk nothing
THE CRAVATS – from Redditch, England, where the National Needle Museum is – released a bunch of 7″ and two LPs between 1977 and 82 mainly by Small Wonder Records.
After broke up the guitarist and the bassist/singer formed the Dadaist post punk band The Very Things which ended in 1988.
On Rebellion Punk Festival in 2009 The Cravats stood on stage again, and have started to play live.
And now after 37 years, they will release their 3rd album DUSTBIN OF SOUNDS on Overground Records (UK).
It is a sax-riddled, bass-laden Dadaist weirdness, and „as always, it’s unique” – said the singer The Shend, and also told: “Music should always be passionate, preposterous, atmospheric and above all entertaining. We fulfill the remit”.
Just like Pere Ubu and The Tiger Lillies but totally different
GOSPEL OF LUCA
Do you know Luca? The colourful Italian musician from The Ultra Twist, Trio Banana, Trans Upper Egypt, Duodenum, Centauri, and RAWWAR? Who also is a visual artist who made clips for Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Country Teasers and a lot of others. And has collages too:
PALI: Hey Luca! Long time ago that I did an interview with you (in the Ultra Twist times). Since you’ve moved to Rome from Siena, The Ultra Twist split etc. Anyway where are you living and what do you do there?
LUCA: Hi, Bro’! After Rome I moved to Milano where I lived four years. There, I did new band with old friends who lived in Milano too. The name of the band is Centauri, we make weird country/folk/psychedelic non-sense stuff.
I tried to continue to play with bands in Rome: Trans Upper Egypt, Trio Banana and Duodenum, but it was too difficult, so I quit TUE, ‘cause I didn’t enjoy more. Trio Banana is on-standby, we never really quit but we can’t play together now. But Duodenum is a very hard band to play often.
Number 71 Monobanda, the man who plays with me, got many bands too, and he lives between Napoli and Rome. Very hard to meet each other in a year, but we are like brothers, so for us play is something more than make gigs and shows. Duodenum will never quit.
In Milano I have started my solo project Tab_ularasa 2-3 years ago. I did many records and tape and maybe too many gigs around Italy. That’s my main project now, and I’m working on a new record. It will be very experimental and different from records done before. Hope to finish soon and to put out it after summer.
Tab_ularasa make punk/folk for children and crazy people. I play alone only with guitar and sing very weird songs in Italian. In the end of 2016 I have gone back to my countryside in Tuscany and I will stay here this year.
PALI: You have got a new band RAWWAR after Trio Banana split.
LUCA: Like I said before, Trio Banana never really split and maybe we will play in the future, but not now. But Trio Banana’s drummer Gabriele Doctor Dead and I never stop to play. When I come back to Rome we play in a rehearsal room. At the start we didn’t want to make a new band to make gigs but only keep to play together, have fun, write new songs and make records.
PALI: You and Dr Dead from Trio Banana, but who is your second guitar player, please introduce him!
LUCA: After few practices we did 9 songs and a cover (Don’t Make Me Kill Again from Urinals) then we decided to make records. I spoke about that with Michele Zufux from Ferrara, one of my best old friend from Ultra Twist time. He was in a fucking great band called Larsen. They’re almost unknown, but for me Larsen is one of the best Italian bands ever. Now he plays in For Food and Dead Horses also from Ferrara, different style of music but really great stuff. We spoke in chat about that, I sent him our songs, he liked them so much that I asked to join us with his guitar to record. We were in Ferrara on a weekend last October. We never play together before, and we recorded three songs of the 1st RAWWAR tape. It was a magic day, we did everything live with only two microphones like a live gig, so we were lucky too.
Some week later Alessandro, a new friend from Teramo, did a very great master and we put out the tape on Bubca Records last March. We wanted to make a 7” but was not money, and maybe there would have been even no sense, ‘cause we don’t play so much live. We live far each other and even here in Italy the situation is quite sad for a band who play garage/punk… There is a kind of little “mafia” to book gigs, and obviously we’re not inside that stuff. The bigger festivals prefer to give a lot of money to American mythological dead bands from the 90s instead to make a cool garage/punk underground festival with new bands. They live in the past. Here in Italy the majority of “underground” people live in the past. This is not punk/rock for me. I always hope to discover, listen and see new bands. Otherwise I’m just so happy to make this tape, to play music with my friends and that’s all. If people will ask us to play it would be better, but if not, nessun problema, we will keep playing in some garages that we enjoy much than play in a shitty venue or festival.
PALI: Not long ago RAWWAR put out its debut tape on your own Bubca Records. Those three songs remind me something like Cheater Slicks between Country Teasers and a bit like early Demon’s Claws. It’s rawer and more direct and less psychedelic than TRIO BANANA was. What do you think?
LUCA: From the start Gabriele and I wanted to make something more weird and repetitive like the old blues/punk stuff. The bands that you mentioned are some of my favorites, but we have tried to find our way to play RAW the primordial blues like did Cheater Slicks, Country Teasers and Demon’s Claws. We like so much Can’s first album, Velvet Underground’s weird stuff, Gun Club. We love too Neu, Oneida’s first records and so many other stuff, but when you make music you have to try to find your own way.
PALI: Please talk about the process of recording. I think you like to do everything as basic as you can.
LUCA: Sure! We recorded in this way ‘cause we did not even time to make it in a different way. I didn’t recorded RAWWAR, Mauro from For Food & Dead Horses helped us and Michele did the rest. We used a cheap multitrack recorder with two mics and we set the level of sounds just before start. I have learned lo-fi tricks from Falconx, the guru who has made my theremin and recorded many garage records in the 80s. If you want warmer sounds and really feel the people’s energy who play then the best way to record everything live, even the voice too. Sure it’s more difficult, ‘cause you have to know and try where put the mics, how sounds moving at the place where you record, and mostly you have to be lucky because when you play at high volume you can generate shitty feedbacks and distortions. Here in Italy we said “La Fortuna aiuta gli audaci”, I think in English they say: “Fortune favours the bold”, and maybe there is a Hungarian version too. (Of course: „Bátraké a szerencse.”) This time we were very lucky… hope next time too.
PALI: And your copy technic is unique I think hahaha! Do you buy some shitty tapes on a flea market and copy your music on it? How do you do this?
LUCA: Almost from the start, Bubca Records make tapes using second hand/recycled tapes. Now vinyl seems new fashion. There are some shitty dynamics to make it but if you don’t book a Euro tour it does not make a sense at all to print it. Making tapes it’s a kind of new little fashion, but it seems like to live in the past. CD is dead, the new world goes in a different way. Maybe we should discover new way to pass underground music. The task of the avant-garde in art has always been be ahead, but now young people make new stuff and invent things from very young age for multinational factories. The few people who make true DIY garage/punk stuff are like dinosaurs. We are dinosaurs, we’re going to extinct soon. I don’t care about that, I’m keeping to make my stuff but I hate nerd punks who think that the old way to make records is the True & Sacred. They are the Worst! For me, make records with second hand tapes is a kind of ironic action, and I don’t want to pollute the world with new plastic too, the worlds is already polluted enough. I find tapes in some flea markets and when I duplicate stuff I do not delete the end of the original music, so if you don’t like RAWWAR you can listen Laura Pausini, Tiziano Ferro, Adriano Celentano or classic music. Cheers!
PALI: You do all of artwork as well. Do you have got own copy machine?
LUCA: Yeah, I make artwork, collage or draw for my records. If I make a record for other bands I always ask them about the artwork, if they do not want to make it, then I do it. Almost all old Bubca Records stuff is a B/W xerox copy, but we did some colour cover too. Our first coloured cover was made for the first Trio Banana EP “Baby Save My Soul”. If a collage or a draw is colored we keep it coloured. I don’t have own copy machine, I just go to a cheap copy shop. To get a copy machine and buy ink is more expensive.
PALI: You booked last year a mini tour for The Rebel. How was that? What kind of guy Ben Wallers? I think he is one of the weirdest guys nowadays in the R’n’R underground. Is it right?
LUCA: Make a tour with Ben was one of the best things done last years. Ben is not so weird as he seems, he’s very kind, smart and cool guy. Making music is the most important thing in his life, like for me, so we have become true friends. I hope to make new tour with him sooner or later.
PALI: Please talk about the last few Bubca Records release!
LUCA: We’re not so active now as we were before, but I’m trying to keep Bubca alive. Before RAWWAR, the last record was Pist Idiots, an amazing new young band from Australia. I love them!
PALI: What are you main active project now?
LUCA: Main project is my solo project Tab_ularasa, but I hope to play more often with RAWWAR, Centauri and Duodenum. I enjoy more playing in a band that alone.
PALI: Please recommend us few cool Italian bands what are active now and you really like!
LUCA: My favorite Italian band is For Food from Ferrara. I love them from the start, they play furious noisy post punk music. Great songs, great atmospheres. They are true friends. Their first record is a masterpiece.
PALI: Future plans with RAWWAR? Anyway it’s a cool name! So rad.
LUCA: The name of the band was an idea from Michel. I suggested The Hobos but that sucks. Gabriele got no idea about that. Michele told us RAWWAR and then we were thinking: “AMAZING!!”. You can say RAWWAR like the lion of Metro Goldwyn Mayer does before an old Hollywoodian movie: ROUUUAURRR!!!
PALI: What’s your favorite local liquor?
LUCA: My favorite local liquor is a kind of stuff that you drink here after eating a lot. It’s called Nocino. It’s a walnut liquor made by monks, but not easy to find real Nocino. The best I had was in Teramo countryside last week!
Thanx Pali, I hope to come back soon in Budapest to play.

A KONCERTET AZ UTOLSÓ PERCBEN ÁT KELLETT HELYEZNI. AZ EREDETI EVENT, SOK-SOK INFOVAL.
Kibaszott jó lesz.
Fellép a ROUND EYE, a Stooges szaxofonosának utolsó bandája. Meglepő módon Shanghaiból, ahol kétszer is az év zenekarának választották őket. Zenéjük annyira eklektikus és szórakoztató, akár Mike Patton zenekara, a Mr. Bungle, csak vitathatatlanul punk. A csapat tagjai ott élő amerikai zenészek, meg egy olasz muzsikus.
A ROUND EYE története 2010-ben kezdődött, mikor Chachy az amerikai álmot kínaira cserélte, és egy nagy ugrással Floridából Shanghaiba termett, ahol megalakította kínai zenekarát. Amerikai zenekara a Libyan Hit Squad sem volt egyszerű eset, bár az is vitán felül punk volt, de olyan hatásokkal, mint a jazz dobos Buddy Rich, a free jazz alapvetés Ornette Coleman, vagy a hard rock Blue Öyster Cult. A ROUND EYE erre rátesz még két lapáttal, amiből valami elképesztő hc punk jazz ska rock and roll doo wop blues surf bolondéria kerekedik ki:
Első albumuk készítése idején csatlakozott hozzájuk a Stooges szaxofonosa, Steve Mackay, aki velük csinálta élete utolsó turnéját és lemezét, aminek megjelenése után négy hónappal elhunyt, de játéka még az idén megjelent második ROUND EYE albumon is hallható.
Ő egyébként úgy került a Stogees-be, hogy Iggy Pop látott valahol Detroitban játszani egy dob/szaxofon duót, és két nappal a Fun House lemez felvételeinek megkezdése előtt megkérte a szaxofonost, Steve Mackay-t, hogy csatlakozzon zenekarához. Eképp instruálta:
– Azt szeretném, hogy játssz úgy, mintha te lennél Maceo Parker, csak LSD-ben.
Maceo Parker akkoriban James Brown szaxofonosa volt.
MEG LESZ MÉG A CHICAGO BULLS, egy ironikus sax’n’thrash csapat Pécsről, mely néha még a Bizottságot is eszembe juttatja:
meg RNR666 DJs, és számtalan békés és barátságos pillanat.
A BELÉPÉS DÍJTALAN, AZ ADOMÁNYOKAT MEGKÖSZÖNJÜK!
FIGYELEM! A beágyazott ROUND EYE videó végén a gép feldob még nyár közepi franciaországi koncert felvételeket! Azokon jól látható, hogy mi várható. És itt van még két érdekesebb videó a sok közül.
A Suntan azt figurázza ki, hogy a kínaiak meg vannak veszve a fehér bőrért. Az, az igazán szép. Meg az előkelőség, a gazdagság jele. Annyira, hogy napsütéses időben elnéptelenednek a parkok. Annyira vigyáznak rá, nehogy úgy nézzenek ki, mint egy mezei munkán sült paraszt:
Aztán ott van Phenjan, Észak-Korea két és fél milliós fővárosa, ahol nincs éjszakai élet. Itt is klipet forgattak. Persze engedéllyel, és csak engedélyezett felvételeket készíthettek. És kísérő nélkül sehova se mehettek:
„A többieket vártuk egy templom előtt. Nem messze tőlünk néhány gyerek tájképeket festett. Az lett a furcsa, hogy a képeken nem változott semmi. A gyerekek száraz festékbe mártogatott száraz ecsettel simogatták a megfestett képeket. Bazmeg, én legalább fél órán át keresztül néztem. Ahogy eljátsszák nekünk, hogy gyerekek festenek az utcán.”
„Egyszer őrizetbe vettek minket. Azért mert Kim Ir Szen – A Nemzet Napja, Az Örök Elnök – és fia, Kim Jong Il – A Vezérlő Nap Sugára, A Párt Örök Főtitkára – mauzóleumában a cipőtisztító automatát fényképeztük.”

ROUND EYE’S LONG EUROPEAN SUMMER MARCH
ROUND EYE, the last band of late Stooges saxophonist Steve Mackay is touring in Europe!
Surprisingly they come from Shanghai, where they were voted for the band of the year two times in a row. Their music is so eclectic and entertaining like Mike Patton’s band Mr. Bungle, but undisputedly punk. The members are American and Italian ex-pats.
Their story has been started when Chachy replaced the American Dream with the Chinese one, and with a big leap moved from Florida to Shanghai. There he has formed his Chinese band ROUND EYE.
His American band was the Libyan Hit Squad. It also was not a simple affair, but was undisputedly punk with such influences as jazz drummer Buddy Rich, free jazz pioneer Ornette Coleman, or the hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult. But ROUND EYE adds two more shovelful of it, so their music is hardly descript, but I try: it is an amazing hardcore punk jazz ska rock and roll doo wop blues surf madhouse.
During the recordings of their first album Stooges saxplayer Steve Mackay joined, and made his final album and tour with them. He died 4 months after the album release, but you can listen to him on ROUND EYE second album Monster Vision too which released this year.
And this summer you can catch them somewhere in Europe
