Seine Flows Through Eastern Europe
Zagreb based trio SEINE is an ancient project of Ivan Ščapec – from melodic noise punk band Vlasta Popic – which finally turned into a band. They play strummy, acoustic, punky, noisy, alternative, psychedelic, folky, angsty and hearty music, defined by dreamy acoustic guitar textures, psychedelic bass lines and spirited drum patterns.
They are on Eastern Europen tour to promote their debut album Sno Sna. Don’t miss them: 27.5. Art Café Barakah, Kraków (PL) / 28.5. Hajovna, Žilina (SK) / 29.5. Klub Lúč, Trenčín (SK) / 31.5. Auróra, Budapest (HU) / 1.6. Grand Café, Szeged (HU) / 2.6. Slamanje, Osijek (HR)
Khruangbin – In an Aeroplane Over the World
Air Khruang is the sonic flight booking company of the Texas based psychedelic funk trio called Khruangbin. Behind such a pseudo company there has to be a music savvy band and their sound totally reinforces these expectations. The name Khruangbin simply means aeroplane in Thai by the way. Bassist Laura Lee and guitarist Mark Speer both wear weird wigs to disguise themselves (mainly in order to distance themselves from their other musical projects).
Guess what! They are music freaks specializing in worldwide funk and psychedelic relics especially from 70’s Asia (which was on the other hand heavily inspired by the contemporary US funk explosion). This way Khruangbin does not only ‘take back’ psychedelic funk music to the US but the result is a rich and smooth sonic adventure suitable either for solitary retreats or sensual evenings to be buried in soothing sounds.
For Khruangbin there aren’t really live or studio versions of their songs. They started out playing in a barn in the middle of nowhere in Texas enabling them to jam to an audience of cows. Ever since then, their albums are entirely live recorded, particularly in locations with a natural sound environment. Oddly enough they usually learn the spontaneously recorded jams to be able to perform them later at shows the same way, so the recordings are almost identical to their live shows (or vice versa, to be precise… ).
Their latest album Con Todo El Mundo has been released this January and vinyls are still available for sale.
So if you fell for the recent hype around Khun Narin from Thailand, give Khruangbin a listen at their Bandcamp or at Spotify.
Oh My GOSH!
GOSH! is a minimal psych-pop duo. OK, there are many. But when I got their new album ODYSSEY I wanted to show it to everybody. Hey, listen to this! So simple, bittersweet and beautiful.
GOSH! started when Padraig left his psychedelic post-americana band Nude Sunrise and started dating with Claire. One of the first moments they spent together there were guitars. Claire picked the bass and they learned „Badlands” from The Jesus and Mary Chain. Anyway she never played any instruments before and GOSH! is her first band. And it is among my brand new favourites.
New album ODYSSEY was written after they got back to Chicago from a chaotic tour. It remembers an underpaid journey as arduous as the real Ulysses’s, full of tragic twists and chemical quicksands. „All while watching the new season of Twin Peaks. It was a dark time, but we channeled that darkness and complete sense of defeat into creativity and in turn have produced something incredibly positive” – said Claire.
I know it coming soon on NICEY MUSIC
Unfortunately at the moment I cannot show the song Lake Shore Drive to you, but you can listen to it in KILLBONOCLUB this Saturday.

GREAT ARTISTS > INDEPENDENT LABELS > BRAND NEW RECORDS
1. Two from The Flying Luttenbachers formed short-lived Chicago no-wave band MY NAME IS RAR-RAR in 2000. Later vocalist of Xerobot joined them. And later their drummer formed XADDAX with post-hardcore math rock band Dazzling Killmen guitarist. MY NAME IS RAR-RAR recorded their first album in 2003 but broke up before mixing it. Now this fuckin funny split 7″ EP brings a pair of newly mixed and mastered tracks from that final recording session together with two new XADDAX songs on SKIN GRAFT RECORDS (US). And this is the premiere of the song „One”
2. „post punk rock psychedelic now country sometimes disco indie rock and roll”. I take the risk that I wrote this about JAZZ BUTCHER during the listening of their 1989 album BIG PLANET SCARY PLANET from the 4 albums box set reissue series THE VIOLENT YEARS on FIRE RECORDS (UK). But before there were THE WASTED YEARS. Anyway if you want to know more about them you can find more in KILLBONOCLUB 10
3. French SCANERS play punk rock and roll like Ramones, Dickies, Devo, Suicide, Spits, Les Thugs just somewhere between the 4th and 5th dimensions. Debut album very soon album on Dirty Water UK and a bunch of French labels: Adrenalin Fix Music, Casbah Records, Dangerhouse Skylab, Teenage Hate Records, Strychnine Recordz and Trokson Records
4. Komodina 3 was a Greek band. Everybody knows them but nobody saw them to play. Like the band Ghost Train (or Kummitusjuna) in the film Zombie & The Ghost Train by Finnish director Mika Kaurismaki which is among my favorites. The story of Komodina 3 started n 2005 in Thessaloniki. Some musicians recorded an album, made 80 CD copies, hand-delivered them to some local men of taste. But they didn’t drive to their only show because was too cold out. Seven years after the owner of Slovenly Records heard his CD in a van during the euro tour of his label’s two Greek bands, Bazooka and Gay Anniversary, and he released it. One of them started electro-punk solo career as NOMOS 751. Debut album on SLOVENLY RECORDS (US)
5. French drum duet DEUX BOULES VANILLE triggering analogic synthesizers, making grindcore constructions, techno and dub improvisations. Idiotic music. Danceable. New album PLANET GOUGOU on KYTHIBONG RECORDS soon.
6. For twenty years API UIZ was a polyrhythmic multicolored punky math rock-like trio from Bordeaux. They have influenced an entire generation of French musicians by their ferociously independent way they play and produce “raw, unworked, but structured music” which was the title of their debut album. Since 2015 API UIZ is a quintet. PEPLUM, their first album with the extended line-up released now on 12″ vinyl on Kythibong, Les Potagers Natures, Mon Cul C’est Du Tofu, La République Des Granges, Attila Tralala (Belgium) and Red Wig Records (Germany)
7. LADY BIRD is a movie about a young, rebellious woman living in Sacramento, California and the constraints studying at a Catholic high school. Its soundtrack was composed by JON BRION who can be known from bands like The Excerpts, The Bats, and The Grays or his film scores from eg Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The Lady Bird soundtrack will be released soon for the first time on vinyl via FIRE SOUNDTRACKS (UK) and LAKESHORE RECORDS (US). It’s a strange big puzzle of different melancholic moods. Anyway Brion is featured as keyboardist and drummer on Marianne Faithfull’s 2003 album, Kissin Time, and co-wrote a song, „City of Quartz”, for her next work, 2005’s Before the Poison.
8. Crazy, chaotic, frantic, but melodic Spanish garage rock and roll band WAU Y LOS ARRRGHS!!! released a sold out in a flash 7″ single on their farewell gig last year. Out again on 2 Feb on SLOVENLY RECORDS!
9.
The Spanish Sinner bros with Carmelo Tornado formed the punk band HOLLYWOOD SINNERS. Album KHÖME KAKKÄ released now on DIRTY WATER RECORDS. At first I did not like it. I don’t understand why, because during the 3rd listening I found – Hey, this is fucking good! Since I love them.
10. Dirty, filthy rock n roll with a dark sense of humour from New Zealand by THE CAVEMEN. Debut album first time on vinyl with two bonus tracks: „Swamp Thing” + „Juvenile Delinquent” on DIRTY WATER RECORDS (UK)
11. A fresh indie-pop hit song from Sweden with cold by HATER. Red Blinders EP released on FIRE RECORDS
12. RIK & THE PIGS: nothing special just total punk. A CHILD GATOR album on TOTAL PUNK RECORDS (US)
13. Bad dream pop by New Yorker movie maker ALEXEI SISHKIN. New album, on cassette by FORGED ARTIFACTS (US)
14. The hymnic song Still Alive celebrates the present and welcomes the unknown by Scottish indie pop band THE SPOOK SCHOOL, but they are punks just like the Buzzcocks or Joanna Gruesome, but with a transgender with a beautiful moustache, and this is what a simple woman can’t.
COULD IT BE DIFFERENT? album on ALCOPOP (UK) and SLUMBERLAND (US)
15. DRIFT is the seventh full-length by NYC rock polymaths THE MEN. Release soon on SACRED BONES RECORDS. Collaborators: Delicate Steve on guitars, Parker Kindred (Antony & The Johnsons, Jeff Buckley) on drums, and Chris Coady (Beach House) as producer.
16. Nowadays Glasgow based alien-obsessed hyperactive girl KEEL HER plays high standard lo-fi sometimes noisy outsider bedroom pop alone. But with her band! It’s a revelation. Just like the Breeders were in the 90s. I know it. I was there with 28 lucky ones to see them on 22 Dec in Refugee Info Bus Fundraising Party at DIY SPACE FOR LONDON
17. MOON DUO worked up a version of ‘Jukebox Babe’ because their sound engineer Larry got it stuck in his head and was singing it all the time. And on the other side of the EP there is No Fun for the the 70th birthday of Iggy Pop. Released on SACRED BONES
18. Psychedelic ambient country band SUSS members have worked in various capacities with Lydia Lunch, the B-52s, Rubber Rodeo, k.d. Lang, David Bowie, John Cale, Wilco, Norah Jones, The War On Drugs, Burt Bacharach, and countless others. Their debut album GHOST BOX is a trip in the mid-western desert. It’s not psychedelic, it’s hallucinogen.
19. I am very surprised. I did not wait for anything special, but this is an exceptionally good album – writing this during the second track of first listening. Who is she: RUBY BOOTS? Scottish and Italian descent Australian-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter inspired by country, blues, and rock. This time her backing band is TEXAS GENTLEMEN who plays „Timeless American Music for fans of The Band, The Swampers, and Willie Nelson.”
Album DON’T TALK ABOUT IT released on BLOODSHOT RECORDS (US)
20. THE GOON MAT AND LORD BENARDO: Adrenaline and alcohol fused primal boogie mayhem from Liege, Belgium. Formerly they played as Stinky Lou and the Goon mat and lord Benardo, but Stinky left the band to open Lou’s Bar. New album TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES on VOODOO RHYTHM RECORDS (CH)
21.
“Come on baby let’s rock!
Well, OW! Woo! Ah! Ah!
Aaaah-ooo!”
It has started in Boston in 1983 when punk rock guitarist Peter Greenberg decided to form an instrumental rock and roll band, but Barry White upset his plans when he began unexpectedly singing at the record store where they worked.
Yes, Barry White, who was 11 in 1966 when his uncle took him to see the James Brown Revue and „that was my first witness of a fantastic show. (…) all the girls were screaming and the guys were going AAAHHH!!! It was wild. It was probably the biggest moment of my life – said the frontman Barrence Whitfield who was born as Barry White who after the gospel choir became a drummer, and played funk, soul and prog rock music.
After two albums the original line-up of BARRENCE WHITFIELD & THE SAVAGES disbanded in 1986 because of Greenberg and the bassist moved on, but Barrence rebuilt and kept alive the band until 1994. The three core member reunited in 2010 and now soon here is the new album SOUL FLOWERS OF TITAN. It was inspired by the cosmic outlook of Sun Ra and elaborates on the Cincinnati-based King Records and Federal Records sounds of the 1950s-‘60s.

QUINTRON – EUROPA MY MIRROR and WEATHER WARLOCK
After more than 10 albums QUINTRON‘s first book EUROPA MY MIRROR is recently released by GONER RECORDS. Illustrated by the amazing Miss Pussycat!
Ostensibly it is a chronicle of Quintron’s last European tour, but the book is just as much about the myriad illusions of American identity. The tales are funny and thrilling and mostly true and someone almost dies on every page.
“If Dr. Frankenstein were working with raw material from Madame Curie, Delia Derbyshire, James Brown, and Wilhelm Reich, the result might be something like QUINTRON. Underground inventor, composer, record maker, impresario, and performer par excellence. There is nothing and no one like him and this is his first book and it’s a gas!” – said Ian Svenonious – musician: Nation Of Ulysses, The Make-Up, Chain & The Gang, Escape-ism, and writer.
Quintron is a nightclub organist (and member of Gary Wrong Group) who runs an electronics repair shop/recording studio called Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans. He invented a mechanically-rotating, light-activated drum machine called Drum Budy. His current project is centered around a weather-controlled synthesizer he made called WEATHER WARLOCK designed to produce mellow, healing tones, randomly modulated by sun, rain, wind, and temperature.
WEATHER WARLOCK also is a band. Their first album Sunset Waits For No Man was recorded with Weather Warlock on the Gulf Coast with Quintron, Aaron Hill (EYEHATEGOD, Missing Monuments), Gary Wrong (Wizzard Sleeve, Vatican Dagger) together with two New Orleans free jazz sax players to glue this mass of southern scum rock:
Weather Warlock’s second album Headless Falcon was made by the core group with with a handful of local musicians in Abu Dhabi.

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.

Hi Hats Are For Post Punk Heroes
TAOS HUMM is a Bristol based experimental rock trio.
Sometimes pop, sometimes jazz, sometimes punk,
sometimes psychedelic, sometimes ambient
but often nerve-rackingly funny

Festive Days
In the UK there were solemn acts owing to the 40th anniversary of the release of debut single of Sex Pistols’ Anarchy In The UK. And it is told that 26th day of November in 1976 is the birthday of Punk.
I heard about two things only.
1 for the why: Luton made this November memorable forever with UK Subs and Vibrators concerts.
2 for the pose: son of Malcolm McLaren and Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Vivian Westwood burnt punk reliques supposedly in the worth of 5 million GBP together with his mum on that birthday on Thames in London.
But 3 to get ready for THE MOONLANDINGZ
Persons taken from the Fat White Family & The Eccentronic Research Council
Debut album Interplanetary Class Classics coming soon on Transgressive Records (UK) and Chimera Music (US)
Anyway the B-Side of Anarchy was „I Wanna Be Me”, so „This is brainwash and this is a clue / To the stars who fooling you.”
Just Like The Ween
„SURFACE TO AIR MISSIVE
is primarily the project of recorder player Taylor Ross from The American South. This Rock Band has destroyed The Rock Band in order to build a New Rock Band sourced from Fake Classical / Neo-Baroque stylings. Recorders big and small multi-tracked atop atypical chord progressions”
This is a neo-baroque psych folk pop crank, an easy, bloody fun
from the album „A V” on Leaving Records (US)
But this song shows just one face from the many of the band. Sometimes it seems as if there would be a different band, because „Hey, it’s totally Sonic Youth”; „Oh what is the name of that Czech folk jazz band? They make something similar. Jablkon! That’s right.” And in the next moment it turns into grunge. Just like the Ween.
