„I’m TERRY. Oh, you know me! There are two kinds of people in this world: not TERRY, and TERRY. I’m TERRY.” So just CALL ME TERRY as the title of the new album says from the Aussie quartet TERRY. Strange, but it was founded in Mexico City in 2016 by members of different Australian bands like UV Race, Total Control or Constant Mongrel. TERRY wanna overturn the ruling class so sometimes bit angry but anyway nice. To me hard to write about TERRY because I fell in love with them from the first song I heard but I try to be unbiased so TERRY is one of the best bands of the world. I can listen to their records one after another day after day because their albums are full of exceptionally catchy punk and pop songs, every one is a hit like this from the new album:

So definitely CALL ME TERRY is the next best of all times album from the band called TERRY. It is RELEASED TODAY on UPSET THE RHYTHM (UK) and ANTI-FADE RECORDS (AUS).

There are some important Aussie bands, one of them is SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEDDING. After 3 years a new EP WHEN IN ROME, CARPE DIEM is coming. When I have listened this song from it first, I contentedly observed that yeah, perfect as always: fine indie trash pop, this time like Velvet Undeground:

SCOTT & CHARLENE’S WEEDING was started some years years before in Footscray, Melbourne by Craig Dermody (a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide) who writes down-and-out pop songs. Anyway the band was named about a golden act of an Australian soap oper Neighbours, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got married in 1987.

PRIMO! is a raw minimal guitar pop band from Melbourne with the two girls from one of the most amazing Australian pop bands TERRY. Their short, beautifully simple and purposeful songs reference the 40-hour working week, the city, bureaucracy, walking, a ghost and a mirage:

They are going to European tour in August. And also there will be a TERRY tour in Europe in September.

AMICI will release on 13 July on UPSET THE RYTHM RECORDS (UK)

I have started to gather songs for the next KILLBONOCLUB
and at the moment I have found this one from Australian
singer/songwriter COURTNEY BARNETT and started to jump

and after I almost fell from the chair when I read that Kim and Kelly Deal from Breeders contributed to her new album TELL ME HOW YOU REALLY FEEL on MILK RECORDS.

And please tell her how you really feel here.

“We know that’s the main aim of the sound: to get a sound that makes you feel sick in the stomach, because it sounds so good.”

NUN plays 70s & 80s horror movie influenced cold electric body noise punk music. Since their debut album, I am a NUN fan, and I have been waiting for the next one. And now, after three years they have released a song in four versions, and I am perfectly satisfied:

Studio and live ones were recorded years before the debut album, two remixes were made by ENDERIE, techno alias of Brisbane based experimental musician Andrew McLellan, who is so without limits that his project CURED PINK also played at Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Sydney International Noise Conference and Deadshits Fest in Brisbane. Anyway there is a new ENDERIE album on PARADISE DAILY RECORDS.

as BRAT FARRAR running a one-man-punk band
and plays surprisingly various lo-fi punk music.

He said the sound is reminiscent of early Wipers, Chrome, The Spits, Suicide, a bit like My Bloody Valentine (well just the guitars) on a few tracks and sometimes like power pop bands recorded incorrectly.

And even more like his fellow Australian TV Colours. Same feeling.

Here is a fine shoegaze one, bit like My Bloody Valentine

3rd album out now. Listen to it here

CD: Off The Hip Records (AUS). Vinyl: Kizmiaz Records (France)

takes their name from a John Lee Hooker album

ENDLESS BOOGIE

and mention Canned Heat as one of their influences,

and described their musical style as Kraut Southern Rock

was formed in 1997 by Matador Records employees and a record collector for jamming. Initially having no plans to record or to tour. They played their first live show in 2001 as an opening act for Pavement’s Stephen Malkmus. First LP in 2005. Their new album Vibe Killer out 19 May on No Quarter Records (US)

POWER has been started when three HC/Punk musicians, Penky, Slimy, and Isaac shared their mutual love of the Australian psychedelic hard rock blues group Coloured Balls while sitting in a beer garden during a Melbourne punk show. Right after they started a new band to play in that raw pub rock style as Coloured Balls and others did it in the early 70s. First POWER album Electric Glitter Boogie was released on Cool Death Records in 2015. Re-release out now by In The Red Records (US)

„Daddy I’m a health freak
I eat my greens
I eat my liberals
I ate the local labor MP”

Dipped in Batter – one of my fav BRAD POT quotes.

It’s an Aussie punk band, sounds like a cross between Dead Kennedys and The Dickies. This song Air Strike from their debut LP out now on Slovenly Recordings (US)

finally from my fav BP song

„Sweden, Oh Sweden
Make me a citizen
I won’t make no trouble
I only want one small thing
Arrest me, arrest me
And throw me in jail”

To live on the outskirts, still isolated in the digital age from outside trends and current sounds as Australian musician Dusty Anastassiou. His band is DAG. Dag means the dried faeces left dangling from the wool on a sheep’s rear end, but also refers to being unfashionable, eccentric and fool-like.

Debut album Benefits of Solitude on Bedroom Suck Records (AUS), Omnian Music Group (US) and Cargo Direct (UK)

Pop like The Pixies, and punk like the Parquet Courts, with such great songs like the aforementioned have.    

TERRY is an Aussie quartet with members of such great bands as UV Race, Total Control, Dick Diver, Constant Mongrel or Lower Plenty – and Xanthe Waite sings one of Mick Harvey’s Gainsbourg album.

It has been formed after a Total Control US tour in Mexico City in 2015 when two couples have decided to start a simple and charming pop band that could tour and vacation together. But more telling about that “simple and charming pop” that The Rebel (ex-Country Teasers) was chosen to play with them on their first show in London.

8 GIRLS on 7″ VINYL by TERRY

RECENTLY RELEASED on UPSET THE RHYTHM (UK)

The three songs explores themes of patriarchy in politics, mass consumption versus lifestyle choices and the dating scene. On the cover you can find seven Australian politician women, and one Angela Merkel. They said about  

The national identity in Australia is primarily male. Women in the public sphere are expected to take on the characteristics of national identity more so than men. They are also required to prove themselves as Australian women.

Not only are female Australian politicians expected to represent characteristics of national identity they usually also show a greater level of Australian masculinity. It’s a fast track to be taken seriously. But many of the females in power seem to give up common sense.

Some women I have found

Health Minister poor Sussan Ley has resigned after using a taxpayer-funded trip to purchase an A$795,000 (£473,300; $585,200) apartment on Queensland’s Gold Coast in 2015. And also went to New Year parties in 2013 and 2014 on taxpayers’ money.

Lower house speaker Ms Bronwyn Bishop charged taxpayers A$5,000 (£2,300, $3800) to fly by helicopter to a Liberal Party fundraiser in 2015. It was a journey of 65 km (40 miles). At longest one hour with car. And of course she had not just a car, but a driver too, paid by taxpayers, of course. She also claimed expenses for attending weddings, opera and art events. Resigned as speaker, and was defeated on the next election.

Right-wing populist senator Ms Pauline Hanson and her male mate were sentenced to three years imprisonment in 2003 because of false statements about their party members in order to register their organisation in Queensland as a political party, and apply for electoral funding.

In her book, titled The Truth, Ms Hanson predicted that in 2050 Australia would have a lesbian president of Chinese-Indian background called Poona Li Hung who would be a cyborg. No wonder that one of her party candidate, Ms Stephanie Banister, said in an interview that Islam is a country, and the Jews worship Jesus. And she is a graduated woman.

„Money, you got plenty of it
You leave it around your place
Who knows?
You might end up in the bin”

Terry – Bin

*

Ha-ha-ha, those amounts of money are ridiculously tinies. A tip category in the post-communist Hungary. But the rate of stupidity of senator Ms Hanson and Ms Banister is ordinary in the Hungarian policy and public life.

But what is absurd. The almighty Liliputin dictator, Viktor Orbán – aka über führer – , his government and the feudal lords of Hungary have recently made war on the civil society, in order to prevent the organized objection and extirpate the pluralism.

Just like in the pre-Stalinist Hungary in 1947-48, when communist minister of the interior, László Rajk, banned the civil organizations. He ended up on a gallows as the star of a show trial in 1949.

So dear Australian friends you must – how comrade Lenin said – learn, learn, and learn.

from their debut album TERRY HQ on UPSET THE RHYTHM (UK)

Beautiful, cold, warm, psych, noisey, drunky, urban folk tunes from and by LOWER PLENTY. It is a suburb of Melbourne and also a band

Its members are from e.g. Total Control, The UV Race, Dick Diver or Terry. About their music I could write that sometimes like VU and Nico, but I do not want to write it, so forget it. This song is taken their 4th album Sister, Sister out now on Bedroom Suck Records (AUS). It was recorded in a kitchen of another suburb of Melbourne, Collingwood.

On that place which is today Lower Plenty the first settler was a Hungarian political immigrant Sigismund Wekey in the mid of the 19th century. He was a lawyer, but during the revolutiuon and war of independence of Hungary in 1848/49 he became a captain and adjutant of the political leader Kossuth. After the fall he went to London, learnt mining, and wrote the first Hungarian grammar for the English people.

He arrived in Australia in his late 20s. On the site which is today Lower Plenty he purchased land as a manager of a shareholder company he founded with a vision to start the wine industry of Melbourne, but the company went to bankruptcy within two years. During this time he was the secretary of Philosophical Society (later Philosophical Institute) of state Victoria. But because the cost of the society’s publications were paid by himself for two years finally he resigned.

He also was a correspondent of some journals, later registrar and postmaster of a gold mining town Gaffneys Creek. He applied for patents of some mining machineries, and became a director of the Aladdin and Try-Again United Gold Mining Co., but he was placed under charge of conspiracy with his two co-directors in 1870. He was sentenced and spent one year in gaol where he wrote a pamphlet about the elastic laws and the political corruption which endangered of the liberty of the subject, titled The Institution Of The Land We Live In. After his release he left Australia, travelled around the world with his family, and finally settled in Budapest.
