„After ten years as a „band” Pink Reason has decided to call it quits. Be on the lookout for our last record titled „Eternal Exile,” it should be available early 2014. Thanks to everyone who helped out a long the way.” – Kevin

Pink Reason was one of the most influential lo-fi punk band. It was founded by Kevin De Broux. He spent his teen age years in Siberia, so he would be a punk there, and got under the influence of Russian underground music.

I don’t understand his announcement, because there never were fixed members except for him. He made some records alone and did some one man tours with an acoustic guitar. So maybe Pink Reason is finished as a band only, and the one man Pink Reason still alive.

Toni Cutrone is a very active many-sided man. He runs the NO=FI Recordings and plays drums in the noise-rock Hiroshima Rocks Around and the wacky pop punk duo Trouble vs. Glue. Mai Mai Mai is his solo project. It is completely different than the mentioned acts. Debut album was mixed by Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu)

And if you go to Rome then have to go to the Dal Verme Club. He co-runs it.

At the time, back in the early seventies the Vietnam war was still raging, Susan Dietrich and her husband Joel and their tiny daughter were political exiles living like refugees in the States, terrified that Joel would be imprisoned for having resisted the draft. For nine years they had subsisted on spare change and meager sales of their artwork on the streets. Finding a dilapidated, old accordion in a junk store was the major cause in turning her life around.  And „the Space Lady began her odyssey on the streets of San Francisco in the late 70s, playing an accordion and dressed flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony. Following the theft of her accordion, she invested in a then-new Casio keyboard…” and plays minimal prog lo-fi space pop. Two songs of her early street sets:

Hunters. A great punk band. Sometimes such as the Ministry with Lydia Lunch, sometimes just like the Fugazi or Sonic Youth.

The New Way Of Danish Fuck You – a kopenhágai punk szintér új generációjának gyűjtőneve. Legismertebb szereplője az Iceage. A zenekar első albumával 2011-ben a semmiből robbant be a köztudatba. A lemezt Amerikában egy jó nevű kis független kiadó, a Dais adta ki. Néhány név a Dais diszkográfiájából: Missing Foundation, Psychic TV, Bestial Mouth, Cult Of Youth, Sightings. A második album már egy nagy független lemezcégnél, a Matadornál jelent meg év elején. Az Iceage nagy sikerű amerikai és európai fellépések után csütörtök este Budapesten a tökéletesen illeszkedő Broken Cups és der Tanz társaságában a Dürer Kertben lép fel.

A szervezők (Hot Rats) jóvoltából kisorsolunk egy belépőt azok között, akik szerda délig lájkolják ezt a posztot!

Lord have mercy upon us, and put an end to indie rock! Please!

The British visual artist Mathew Sawyer play sometimes popy, sometimes rocky, sometimes punky chamber folk music with his band, The Ghost. He said 3 years before after the second album: „I wanted to make a happy record, but it didn’t really work. The next one will be so much fun… [laughs]. “ On his third album he analyses the relationship between Thanatos and Hypnos. They are twin brothers, personificators of the Death and the Sleep in the Greek mythology. Their parents, Erebos (Darkness) and Nyx (Night) born from the Chaos. And they have some children more: Moros (Doom), Momus (Mockery), Oizys (Misery), Nemesis (Revenge), Eris (Discord), Apate (Deceit), etc. Hey! What they have brought up their children for? I call the court of guardians at once.

The recordings were made in his home hand in hand with his everyday living. „The sound of cars come through the windows, the phone rings, floorboards creak. These sounds all played an important role in making this record. Studios are quiet and lifeless.”

New Swears – Fun Isn’t Real LP by Bachelor (Austria) and Dirt Cult (US)

Eric Clapton and Ted Milton often hanged out together in the summer of 1965. Clapton said: „Ted was the most extraordinary man. A poet and a visionary…he was the first person I ever saw physically interpreting music…to enact it with his entire being, dancing and employing facial expressions to interpret what he was hearing. Watching him, I understood for the first time how you could really live music, how you could listen to it and completely make it come alive, so that it was part of your life. It was a real awakening.”
And Ted wasn’t musician at that time. He was known as poet and puppeteer. He has started to play alto-saxophone and founded his avant-garde jazz punk band, the Blurt in the late seventies only.
