„No more time for my beloved laziness”- said Joel Gion, the crazy tambourine man of serious psychedelic rock band Brian Jonestown Massacre, and after his solo single now here is the album which was recorded with a bunch of his friends. Joel thinks a lot of people are going to be surprised by this album. „Psych, Mod, Britpop, Shoegaze and Post Punk are just some of the sounds that come into play on this very unique record.” A lazy psychedelic britpop

Phase Fatale – 12″EP on Avant! Records (Italy)

„Agnese is a beautiful, sensitive, thoughtful, and strong-charactered woman. She is a beautiful and loyal friend, and will support you no matter what. Everyone needs to know an Agnese. Andrea is a gorgeous lady that one of a kind, the most rare female on the face of the earth; the kind that every guy dreams about. She is confident, honest, loyal, protective of what she has, strong, artistic, beautiful inside and out, excellent lover. A tower of strength for those she cares for, the rock to her family. She is a person you can depend on, just don’t go too far in crossing lines with her or those she loves. Or else you better run and get out of her way… because she will come out and get you. Mauro Just about the best boyfriend ever! Mauro is a person you can always be with and never be bored. Hes funny, cute, smart, talented and everything you could ever want! Very Very sweet! Michele is a very good friend. Someone that is always there for you and never leaves your side. Basically amazing.”

They are FOR FOOD. Not a simple psychedelic rock band from Ferrara.

„Solo Paradise” MOLLY NILSSON‘s musical reports from Buenos Aires. Bittersweet heart beats, sunny economic breaks, romantic cats and plane crash. The Latin mood didn’t touch very much her Scandinavian attitude. She’s one of the most interesting performers in the synth pop underground.

Sólo Paraíso (The Summer Songs) on Night School Records (UK)

+ „These Things Take Time”, her debut CDr from 2008 is on double LP with unreleased recordings from the same period  by Dark Skies Association (Swe)

In the future too:  “Our knives are never dull / our moon is always full”

New Zealand for me: sheep, Hillary, the big beer boycott of Greymouth, continuous earthquake, Flying Nun and Axemen

The newest band there is the Avoid! Avoid! It’s a psychedelic, kraut rock inspired trio from the Baseline Rd

They said: acid punk. I say: psychedelic rock. Influenced by kraut rock and Japanese pop. Similar to another Japanese band, Boris.

BO NINGEN – SLIDER

from the album III on Stolen Recordings (UK)

Their short story: 2006. Two Japaneses meet in London and form the Bo Ningen. Give only one show where the audience to force them to cease music. 2007. One of them meets another Japanese. Big happiness. They play music for 10 hours per day. Finally the drummer is coming towards them.

Audacity is rather a power pop band than a garage punk. But in their early times they were a real great garage punk band. Their lost and found first recordings from 2007 are out now.

„Juva Jive” 10″ EP and digital on Cut-Rate, cassette on Burger Records (USA). The best Audacity album forever.
