Carcassonne is a beautiful town in the Languedoc region in France whose main attraction is a high wall that prevents Bonne Humeur Provisoire from going into the town. This duo has turned electronic musical DIY into a highly irritating tool among its neighbours, who are more interested in tasting good cheese and paté of the region than finding out how it is possible, even in the country of the grandeur, to spin in only one wash the extravagance of Tic et Tac’s way, llulabies for hiperactive children and a taste for Dadaism that makes Tristan Tzara sane in comparison. Bonne Humeur Provisoire sounds as if a poltergeist phenomenom had taken control of a Martian killer of the 80’s, and sings and swears as Robbie the Robot

When performing, the group likes to externalize their absolute lack of complexes and their still unexplained passion for blue, and they make up for their shortsightedness by pressing all the keys on their synthesizers and modified toys at the same time. The resulting cacophony is excellent and has the vigorous beauty of an automaton that goes too far if it is wind up just a little. And however, in Carcassonne, people don’t even know what’s going on. Mon dieu!

In Budapest with a French Neue Deutsche Welle band, Badaboum on next Tuesday (24 June, 9 pm) at Trafik Klub by RNR666. Ticket: 1000. Facebook

Simple, beautiful and funny living room pop by English twins, Amelia and Pat. They’re like a little Breeders from Brighton, or an alternative Simon & Garfunkel, or Osmonds on cheap whizz with a taste of tropicalia. They formed in the summer of 2011 after sharing a dream in which David Bowie told them they were destined to make music together

My Street – dubstep remix by DJ Lucza

You can download its first part titled „the powers that b” free.

Barbara Lehnhoff didn’t want to become a musician – like so many other individuals, but her debut album under moniker of Camilla Sparksss is better than the new Laibach. You can find danceable technoid rhythms and electro-industrial punk tunes on it.

Barbara grew up in Canada amongst Indian reserves with a little brown bear. She is master of tracking and trapping, and knows the smoke signals.  Then she went among alpine natives of Swiss-Italian borderland to learn economic, graphic design and film making.

„I started playing bass in 2004 when I was studying video in Lugano, Switzerland. I needed a soundtrack for a short film I was working on and so I met up with Aris and we started recording.” And art punk band Peter Kernel was born from this co-operation. They were invited by Spencer Krug from the Canadian band Wolf Parade to open for their European tour in 2010.

How does Camilla Sparksss started?

Camilla Sparksss started while I was unloading my 8×10 Ampeg bass cabinet for the 15th time while we were touring Peter Kernel. I looked at Aris and said “we need to start a lighter project”. (…and of course we’ve always wanted to start something electronic).

(An 8×10 Ampeg bass cabinet’s dimensions: 120 x 66 x 40, around 65-75 kg. – editor’s note)

CS is absolutely another musical world than P. Kernel. What are the main musical influences of CS?

I think CS is a different style from PK, but if you listen carefully both projects are very similar. They’re both minimal, instinctive and raw. The main difference lies in the production and instruments used. At the begging we wanted to transform PK into electro, but as we started writing the songs we became nostalgic of the “acoustic” punch of a live band. So we decided to give Peter Kernel a little sister called Camilla Sparksss. But both projects are influenced by what we’re experiencing in our everyday lives and how we feel in the moment. Musically we listen to very different kinds of music, at the moment my favourite band is Moonface. It’s the solo project of  Spencer Krug.

Are there any non-musical projects?

I love making clothing, especially hand made T-shirts. You can check them on my Bandcamp page. And of course videos. Oh, and I love cooking, but I’m not very good at it.

Ticket: 1200 HUF          Start: 11 pm

Two young Slovenian keyboard enthusiasts produce great electro-industrial-noise-core-metal with only two keyboards and some samples. I have invited them to play at RNR666 Party and made this very short IT’S EVERYONE ELSE interview.

RNR666 – I think it’s not your first band. What were there before?
Luci – Pika (the female part of IEE) was a singer in a few bands during her high school years but she never found the right people to complete her musical visions. I myself had a little noise project going on, but for the both of us the first „serious” band was (and still is) IT’S EVERYONE ELSE. We played our first gig under the name „Hold Your Horses” but as soon as we found our sound, we changed the name to IT’S EVERYONE ELSE, because we thought it was more appropriate.

How IT’S EVERYONE ELSE started?
– It started after we exchanged some demos and realized that our ideas are pretty compatible. We started rehearsing and we just clicked. A few months later we player our first concert and after that we just kept going and going.

What are your inspirations?
– Our biggest inspiration is life itself. Don’t get me wrong, we enjoy a lot of music, movies, books, paintings etc. and we get a lot of ideas out of that, but there is nothing as inspiring as people, emotions and social interactions. We are the soundtrack to the rainbow of human emotions.

Sirens + Nirvana – Stay Away cover

Can you play other instruments beside keyboards?
– We have no formal music education and we can barely play keyboards:) We don’t really care about notes, scales or chords, we just play what sounds good to our ears. I think we developed our own way of playing synths, which is much more similar to playing riffs on a guitar rather than playing piano in the traditional sense.

Their second album is released on vinyl by Noise Appeal Records (Austria).
