The Satanic Rockers from Australia
– Hey guys! You’re the Satanic Rockers! You’re doin’ fuckin’ good things! What’s the style?
Lynton: Heil Satanis! Our style is a blend of heavy blues and light metal, sometimes we like to get a bit dubbed out and go for a space reggae vibe!
– Your music reminds me of the early Butthole Surfers, plus there are the Axemen too, but in the latter case just the philosophy is same – I think. These are great things because I love both. What’s your opinion?
– You quite bang on! I like the Butthole Surfers in small doses (preferably on someone else’s stereo) and the Axemen (who are from my old hometown Christchurch) are artistic heroes of mine! Do It Yourself is the way to go, amen! Tovább / Read more »

EAST PUNK MEMORIES
An interview with Lucile Chaufour, the film’s director by Eraserhead
In the mid-eighties, defying local regulations that prohibited illegal filmmaking, Lucile Chaufour shot Super8 material about a group of Hungarian punks and how they were struggling under the communist regime. More than twenty years later, she returned several times to interview the same people about what it was like to be a punk in Hungary, what punk stood for back then and how it has changed since and also how they see life in Hungary before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Is this what they struggled for?
The Hungarian premiere of your film EAST PUNK MEMORIES will take place today at the Toldi cinema in Budapest. Can you sum up briefly what the film is about?
The film is about punk, life and, of course, politics: Hungarian punk was highly political, as they were fighting against the regime with their own means. To leave out politics completely and just to focus on the music would not have been respectful to those involved.
You did a lot of interviews between 2005 and 2011 with the same people you filmed in the mid-80s. Tell us about the way you edited the film.
I tried to show all the range of opinions and memories and not focus on one side, that’s how I could respect as much as possible the different visions. This film is about being able to talk and to hear different points of view on a situation. What is very interesting is that from a group of friends in the 80s, all positions are now represented: from left to right, and also those who do not want to take sides or do not want to deal with politics. It’s a collective portrait where each statement is reinforced, developed or contradicted by the next one. That’s the way I chose to give an authentic picture of the situation, rather than a „black and white” judgment.
The film presents a kaleidoscope view, with no censorship. Is this what you wanted to do?
Yes, I like the authentic way each character speaks: it is direct. Somehow, this is what remains from the punk years: to stand honestly for what you believe in, what you remember of that time, and I respect that. Part of the interviews were done in 2005, maybe some individuals have changed their points of view since then, but this is part of life. This film is a snapshot of a group of old punks at a certain moment of their life, about 25 years after the first shooting done in Super8 in the mid 80’s.
I know the film has been in the making for a long time. What hurdles have you had to overcome to complete the movie?
The film took very long to finish because we had quite no budget for it. No money means that you have to invest much more time and personal energy. Up until March 2013, all the screenings were done with a working copy because I could not pay for the final mix (5+1) and color correction. I got a lot of debts on it, but I’m happy we could finish the film and finally show the final version in Budapest.
Thanks for taking the time to do this interview. Any final words?
The test screening at the Toldi cinema was very good. I’m very happy to show the film there, along with the gigs, and thanks to all the people who supported the project in Hungary.

… because what is garage rock?
The Slovenly is one of the most important “underground” record labels which focusing on “the best garage and punk shit rock” all over the planet. The story has begun under the name of 702 Records in Reno (Nevada) in 1994. The US Post has changed the area codes and 702 no longer belonged to the whole state of Nevada, just Las Vegas, so the label was renamed to Slovenly Recordings in 2002. They have offices in Spain, Holland and even Pennsylvania.
“really hard to get around is that it usually takes 10+ years for a band to get the attention they deserve”
interview with
Peter Menchetti,
the founder of Slovenly Recordings
The editor’s note: you can find a fine video under link of every mentioned band!
It seems that after the indie rock scene’s hip status, now it’s garage rock becoming the coolest type of rock music. What do you think about it?
I’m not really sure what to think, because what is garage rock? There are some bands playing under that banner that definitely don’t belong. I had the pleasure of working with Buck Ormsby, founder of Etiquette Records (and bassist of the The Fabulous Wailers, a garage rock band between 1958-1969 – editor’s note) in March when we had THE SONICS (influential garage rock band between 1960-68. Reunited. – e.n.) play our 20th anniversary party in Reno. He said that he had discovered them in a garage in Bellingham. That’s where the term comes from… the implication that remains for me is real, raw, budget, rock’n’roll. How someone like Jacco Gardner (plays baroque pop – e.n.) fits into that is beyond me… Maybe we should also ask THE PENETRATORS… the self-proclaimed „Kings of Basement Rock” (It’s a legendary punk band from the 70’/80’s. Reunited – e.n.) They probably have some ideas about their garage rock cousins, har!
When you started Slovenly Records what was different in the garage rock scene?
Well, bands like the OBLIVIANS and TEENGENERATE were still playing to pretty small crowds… we also had THE GORIES play our party and they were telling me about how hard they worked in the 90s, and about how often they played to 10-20 people in Detroit. Things have changed a lot, but a recurring theme that I’ve realized is really hard to get around is that it usually takes 10+ years for a band to get the attention they deserve. Only those who work relentlessly and have someone with money backing them up get somewhere more quickly. BLACK LIPS is a good example. They busted their asses hard for years with Vice (an international magazine – e.n.) backing them up. When I started Slovenly they were playing house parties in Atlanta.
ABOUT JC SATÁN
Reply: Paula H. Satán – The singer of the JC Satán
The band is half Italian-half French. How it happened?
I and Arthur met each other in Italy in 2008, I used to organize gigs in Torino and I booked a lot of French bands (especially from Bordeaux). Arthur played in The Meatards at the time. Later, I went to Bordeaux to visit Arthur and some other friends and one day we recorded some stupid songs with Dorian, his roommate. When we released the first LP „Sick of Love” on Slovenly (2010), we thought we need a band and play live shows. Some line up changed since, but now we are 5, all living in Bordeaux.
How get on the Italian and French tempers side by side in the band?
The French say all the time that they got better cheese and better wine. We just keep silent, we don’t say anything about it. We know the best cheese and best wine come from Italy, no need to talk about it.
Which were your previous bands? And what is your other projects now?
Arthur played in really lots of bands here in Bordeaux, like Meatards, Polar Strong, Hoodlum, Fatals … Now, he plays in Crane Angels, also with Dorian and Romain. Ali got also some other bands, like La Secte du Futur and Macabre, her solo project. Dorian played in a hip hop band called Le Pingouin and he has his own project called Pere Dodudaboum, a kind of heavy nintendo electro music. Romain played in a lot of shitty bands before, like a funk core band called Sexy Chocolat. I never had any band and I don’t have any now, except JCS.
And the non-music things?
Everybody is really focused in the music and trying to live from it, except me: I am working in a crazy bar/restaurant as a cook. And I like to draw, even if I’m doing it less than before. Arthur is really into the tattoos too.
What are your favourite musics at the moment?
I can talk just for me, right now I really like hip-hop/pop/trash music (or I don’t know how to classify it). Bands like Brooke Candy, Die Antwoord, TNGHT, Lakutis, Buraka Som Sistema and so on. And I always love garage bands like Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Yussuf Jerusalem, Magnetix, Movie Star Junkies and so on…
Please write me your musical and (sub)cultural course of life in key-word!
