Rough Sex with Pure Heart – Vagina Town Interview
On the 10th birthday party of RNR666 there will be a French ultrafuckin’hot rock’n’roll band, VAGINA TOWN. They’re so amazing like The Cramps.
Lavór: How did you got together?
Jeremie: Gina and I met in high school at respectively 17 and 15 in 98. We got together something like a year after and kept being stuck after each other ever since. We started to play music in bands in 2007. Vagina Town started has a duo beatbox bass guitar in 2009. We’ve been playing trio from 2010 to 2011. Then the band has been in stand by, until we started all over again in 2013 has a four pieces with Patou (drummer), and Rachouchou (keyboards).
Szabó: What represent your name?
We found that name during the first days of the band. It could have been Ravachol Crack* or Sex Minute. We were much more in some high speed energy at the time. Beat box guitar wolf… Anyway, we caught „Vagina Town” by watching an episode of Californication. Which is not a so funny series in my opinion… But some good jokes I admit. „Vagina Town” is also a real porn movie shot in the 90’s .
Now, talking about the band, Vagina Town can represent sex, energy, energy of sex… repressed and just about to blow everything up if you don’t let it out. Or having rough sex with a pure heart. … I’m not really sure actually.
*Ravachol (1859-92) was a French anarchist. He tried to make a better world with bombs. After some experiments he lost his head.
Zsófi: How often do you get joking questions about the influence of cramps on vagina…. town?
Not so much, because in France people are quite lousy at speaking foreign languages. So if you’re lucky enough to meet someone listening to the Cramps, he’s maybe not totally aware of the meaning of it. But we got many many comparison with them. Whereas I don’t think our music sounds like the Cramps. We love the Cramps for a long time. But we also love …. the Beatles (and know every songs) for example. Patou and I are listening to a lot of old rnb soul stuff… And many more things combined…
I think our Cramps thing is… in the clothes, girls playing music, some live energy and the sex references. We had the luck to see them once, performing in Brussels in 2003. I’m dreaming one day Poison Ivy would lend a hand on a Vagina record!!!
Lavór: Is it sexism or not if a band has boy and girl members too?
Jeremie: I’m not sure to understand the question. There’s probably some sexist attitudes in the band, it depends a lot of what you call sexism. I like to think we’re just people playing music. But I really like to play music with THESE special girls.
Gina: I don’t feel any sexist attitudes in the band. But sexism appears more often during the shows in the public or among the other bands we are playing with. I like to play with girls, I had a few girl bands, but it’s not my main concern to play with girls only.
Lavór: 1st is the Sex, 2nd the Drugs, 3rd is the Rockandroll. Is this proper order?
Jeremie: Sex 1, Rock n roll 2, Drugs 3 for all of us. As drug is an upper for exploring other things, or a way to stand the world. As you know, drugs can be very destructive and leading to poorness and diseases. So drugs! Yes! But as an improvement of something. I’m not so excited about taking legal happy pills, working in an oxygen factory in 2072. Luckily, I’ll be death by drugs then.
What’s your opinion about the legalization of ecstasy and MDMA?
I’m not sure I’m pro or anti drug legalization. As I told you about drugs before: what are you looking for by taking drugs? When you’re depressed, poor, if you got any problems… drugs won’t solve any of them. But drugs do feel fucking good. So yes if legalization means: avoiding cops, jail, money problems, providing state care… If it’s about taking money from the drug dealers to offer the market to big companies of the (not always)legal economy, with the same cynicism: it’s not a matter of excitement. But boy, I love so much to listen to music, watch gigs on MDMA!
See you in Budapest!!!!!!
in the centre of the city under the starry sky on the rooftop of Corvin Store
on 19 JUNE at CORVINTETŐ from 7 pm!
with the incredible LOUIS PANTHER (H)
cousin of Gustave Tiger
The concerts will start soon after 7 pm because it must be end up to 10 pm on the rooftop. The party continues with 6 DJ girls until dawn. It will be a crazy night.
Frantic Froth
Frantic City is hyperactive French label from the rebellious La Rochelle. It has released Froth‘s debut album months before that it will be released in America by Burger and Lolipop Records.
Just because I’ve got this album from France when I listened to it first times I thought Froth is an anglomaniac French band.But not. They’re from California. Their music is British style psychedelic indie rock from Jesus & Mary Chain to Oasis and forth. I’m sick of this style, but if you not, I’m sure this album will be nice for you

Cello Attack from Bruxhell
Mr. Marcaille took me unaware. When it was written that is a drum’n’cello band, I thought of something totally different as The Exploited

From New Records
Chocolat started in Montreal in 2008, when a Bloodshot Bill and Bob Dylan mix one man band, Jimmy Hunt has begun jamming with Demon’s Claws bassist. Funny francophone psych prog rock

SKIP JENSEN GROUP
Az, hogy elhívjuk Skip Jensen-t (született Serge Gendron) koncertezni, azóta vágya az RNR666-nak, amióta az RNR666 koncert szervezéssel is foglalkozik, ennek lassan tíz éve. Skip Jensen január 29.-én három tagú zenekarával, a Skip Jensen Group-pal lép fel a Budapesten. Tavaly januárban adták ki első nagylemezüket, majd egy kislemezt, és készítettek egy videóklipet:
Saját meghatározásuk zenéjükre igen találó: Supersonic Rock’n’Roll. Bluesból, észak-amerikai folkból és persze jófajta elszabadult rock’n’roll-ból összegyúrt muzsika. Őszinte, egyszerű és tiszta, hasonlóan mint grafikai munkái, képregényei. Aki szereti az Oblivianst, a Bassholes-t vagy a The Mojomatics-et ezzel a koncerttel nem nyúlhat mellé. Ki is ő, honnan indult? Kicsit bővebben. Tovább / Read more »

SKIP JENSEN GROUP (Can)
We want to organize SKIP JENSEN for 10 years, since from the established of RNR666. And the dream comes true now. Born as Serge Gendron and comes from Montreal, Canada. The city was one of the most important places of underground rock’n’roll in the first decade of the XXI. century. King Khan also comes from this scene. Its special vigorous sound is represented by the album Symphatetic Sounds of Montreal. Two bands of Skip Jensen appeared on it, Scat Rag Boosters and The Stack O’Leas. After the break-ups he continued his music career as a classic one-man-band under the name of Skip Jensen & His Shakin Feet, meanwhile he was the drummer of Demon’s Claw for 2,5 years. Later his one-mand-band became a duo with Seb Normal (The Feeling of Love, Normals, Delacave etc.) from France. Finally it has became a trio. They have made an album, a single and a video last year:
The style is self-described as Supersonic Rock’n’Roll. It’s spiced with blues and other American folk elements. For the fans of Oblivians, Bassholes, Mojomatics. Skip Jensen also a fine graphic artist
