Art rockers’ surreal case

In accordance of the new „Made in America” act the Federal Trade Commission barred export of their new album, titled: „We’re an American Band” in 2005. Under the legislation, companies advertising products with the term „America”, „American”, „US” or USA” must file certification documentation that „all or virtually all” of the product-including processing and labor that go into the product must be of U.S. origin. Since the band claimed „we are an American band” so the FTC is required proof of national origin of each band member. They refused it. Otherwise the „We’re an American Band” is a big hit by Grand Funk Railroad. By the MX-80

They write about their music: agressive noise punk. Punk. Ok, if you say. Noise. Yes, there are some moments. Agressive. If this is reckoned agressive, then New-Zealand is a very peaceful place in the Universe. Fine post early Therapy? music by Hollywoodfun Downstairs

I have found only one archive video from 1985. Look!

The singer is Barry White. It’s not a joke. It’s his real name. He has changed it to Barrence Whitfield because of a famous singer has changed his name to Barry White ten years before. He was 11 in 1966 when „My uncle took us 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.” Smaller, but important moments: after the gospel choir he became a drummer, and played funk, soul and prog rock music.

1983 Boston: after his punk (DMZ) and garage rock (Lyres) band the guitarist Peter Greenberg has 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. Moreover it came to light that both men very like the old rock and roll records. Naturally they recorded some old hits to their albums. And those shows! „The people ripping the seats from the floor and people were diving into the audiences.”

After two albums the original line-up 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

Rock and roll on the same, the hard way:

Euro Tour (Sept-Oct)

„Come on baby let’s rock!
Well, OW! Woo! Ah! Ah!
Aaaah-ooo!”

„The archaic rage of The Stooges acts as the base and distills down through to mid-’70s bands like New York’s Suicide and L.A.’s The Screamers. (…) the Twos look to these artists as influences.” „Loud, primal rock ‘n’ roll action (…) This is the Terrible Twos.”

Those were certainly very comic acts when the two founders looked for mates, because the condition was: to play any kind of instrument is absolutely needless. – Do you feel like joining us? – But I don’t play any instruments. – Why it’s great! We need such an incompetent man exactly like you. What would you like to be: drummer or bassist?

The name of the style is death rock (for me). I feel it. This mood flows from their music. Moreover it is a good slogan. Chiefly If I add that: industrial punk. Pop.1280

The legendary Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in 1980. The band was originally called One Day. And one day „We, the Legendary Pink Dots feel it is our duty to inform an unwary public that the new number of the Beast is 834.”

They frequently collaborated with Skinny Puppy’s cEvin Key, forming a side project named The Tear Garden. Key also played drums on several tracks.

In my opinion this guy is a lunatic, such as me. He has played post T-Rex lo-fi cyber punk:

These are from two reissues. The originals were released in 1980-81. The Tronics had been playing since 77 till 84 in England. The main person was Ziro Baby. Nowadays his name is Zarjaz and doin’ the Freakapuss. A split 7” with Sic Alps was released last year.

Las Kellies from Buenos Aires play minimal punk while sing in Spanish, Catalan, French, Japanese and English languages.

from Total Exposure LP by Fire Records

They stand before Euro Tour Aug 5 – Oct 19 > Italy, France, Belgium, UK, Germany, Sweden, Holland, Austria, Croatia (Zagreb, Sept 18), Spain. Luckily they don’t want to save the World – „What do you daydream about when you are travelling to and from shows? – Buy a house in Uruguay by the beach with goats and ducks and growing tomatoes and buying really nice shoes.” – so I like them.

The Destruction Unit started as a synth-punk solo project by Ryan Rousseau (Reatards, Black Sunday, Digital Leather etc.) in Memphis in 2000. Then Jay Reatard (Reatards, Lost Sounds, etc.) and Alicja Trout (Lost Sounds, Black Sunday, River City Tanlines etc.) joined to him. The first 2 DU album made by them. The band has been through many members and sounds. At the moment they play psychedelic space hard rock, but „we all come from punk backgrounds and we’ve always been a punk band.”

Euro Tour Oct 9 – Nov 16 > Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium, France, UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Slovenia (Ljubljana, Nov 11), Austria (Vienna, Nov 12).

It’s certain already that the RNR666 supports the Canadian independent music. Yesterday were the Ketamines and there was mentioned of Mr Paul Lawton, who criticizes the Canadian music industry. Now completely accidentally another Canadian band from same city where Mr Lawton is living: Lethbridge: Fist City. By reason of their first video in fundamentalist Christians view they are “Satan worshiping reptilian hermaphrodites” who play very good noisy garage punk with a little surf and indie (but just as much as the Sonic Youth) moods. Their second song is a cover.

On the other side of the 7” is the Piss Test from Portland (US). They play classic 80s American hc-punk. I think they have some kind of Hungarian connection, because there is their second track, the Necrophilia’s subtitle: It’s Halal (halál = death in Hungarian). Oops! „halal adj 1. (of an animal or its meat) slaughtered or prepared in the manner prescribed by Islamic law.” Thanks to the punk I have become cleverer today.

 The split will be released by Drunken Sailor

1. Paul Lawton was teaching media and digital culture at the University of Lethbridge for five years and really hated it.
2. He has started a blog with Death to the Canadian Music Industry subtitle, „because I love Canadian music so much and I feel sad about the state that it’s in.”
3. He is one of the two core members of the Ketamines and plays bass:
