„Trashies save music. Fuck all bands. You suck. We are the best.” Here is the 4th Trashies album! So good, so trashy

and so bizarre that the album is coming to my mind the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. Previous 3 albums are free: Life Sucks Trash Fuck (2004), What Makes a Man Get Trashed? (2006), Space Jam (2011)

The Beat Detectives play outsider chopped and screwed dance hits from an imagined, weirdo urban radio station. The members are experimental musicians from the Food Pyramid and Radical Cemetery

DIRTY BEACHES EURO TOUR

His friends and sometimes fellow travellers the Ketamines are releasing 4×7” singles on 4 labels from all over the world. The covers combine to make one giant collage. The first 7” will be out on June 1. The music is too punk for these and too pop for those, so perfect for me:

After 12 years the space surfers came back. Here is the new album of Man or Astro-man?

Cosmonauts. „Offer glimpse of drug-addled Southern Californian rock n roll in the 21st century.” „We’re too punk for the psychedelic bands and too psychedelic for the punk bands.” 7″ by Volar:

7″ by Trabajo:

Bestial Mouth / Deathyday split 12″ by Sweatingtapes

The Bestial Mouth‘s style is called: deathrock. In this case it is primitive psychedelic industrial rock on synthesizers and drums with a female vocalist. Her voice is similar to Diamanda Galas or Lydia Lunch’s pleasant style. The Deathday‘s feeling and genre is same sure.

The Bielefeld Conspiracy is running forward. In the early 90’s Thilo Pieper has arrived in San Francisco, allegedly from Bielefeld, and established contact with the members of Mummies and formed the Astronauts, the Phantom Surfers and The Dukes of Hamburg with some of them. After a couple of years and records he went back to Germany and since then The Dukes of Hamburg has been running forward there, allegedly in Bielefeld. They plays excellent garage beat in 1964.  Click & listen >>>  I Gotta Move 7” by Voodoo Rhythm

Ayumu (leader of the Japanese ecletic indie band, the 4 Bonjour’s Parties) already has made some strange duo beside his main band. The first, the Tailor Made A Small Room („changeable-indie-psychedelic-minimal-toy-chamber-electronica-folk-pop”) moved to Australia. There he formed the Deux Doux („twee pop/ exotica-bedroom”) with a French girl. The third is the We Are Loud Whispers with Yu from the psych-folk-pop Arthur & Yu. They assembled over emails sent between Seattle and Tokio.

Mordecai – Rety from College Rock LP by TestosterTunes

Teresa Maldonado is a Texan singer/songwriter. „Drawing influences from her perennial favourites the darkly gothic Bauhaus, as well as Natacha Atlas’ exotic Mish Maoul, the black metal of Venom.” The songs were composed on her much loved piano which was tuning last time in 1992. She plays eclectic haunted folk under Georgia’s Horse moniker.

Ginger from Wheather Codes LP by Fire Records This track is free. Just click the arrow!

I didn’t wait very hard garage rock from Mikal Cronin (Charlie and The Moonheart, Epsilons, Party Fowl, Okie Dokie, Ty Segall), but in the first minutes I was surprised. Sha-la-la guitar pop. But I looked up suddenly several times during the listening – Hey, it’s good! And I listened it three times.

from MCII LP by Merge Records. Hear the full album here 

„The Creeping Ivies are a Rock N Roll Band from Scotland. Becca Bomb sings and grinds the guitar. Duncan Destruction beats the hell out of the pans. We play wild rock n roll. Our debut album STAY WILD is out NOW

Satan Panonski was the Yugoslavian GG Allin. He became a punk in ’78 during his trip in Germany. Then he started a band. In 1981 he killed a local mafioso in a fight in self-defence by 15 stabs. He was sentenced 12 years, but instead of prison he went to a mental hospital for 8 years. There he started to write and paint. After his release he continued his musical career as Satan Panonski. After the broke up of Yugoslavian civil war the openly gay Satan joined the Croatian National Guard as a soldier. In 1992 January he left a bar totally pissed and slipped over ice on front of it, his Kalashnikov went off and hit him fatally in his head.

Hard Blood Shock, LP by SS Records

Obnox is the solo project of Bim Thomas from Bassholes, This Moment is Black History & Puffy Areolas. He wanted to do a recording that raw and blown out, done quickly for cheap. Opened up the four track tape machine with a lot of scotch whiskey and reefer around…

2 x 7″ by Slovenly

2005. Thessaloniki, Greece. A crew of refined musicians records an album, makes 80 compact disc copies, hand-delivers them to some local men of taste. Then their musical career broke in two by the weather. They didn’t drive to their only show because was too cold out. Seven years after the owner of the Slovenly Records heard his CD in a van during the euro tour of his label two Greek bands, the Bazooka and Gay Anniversary. And then they were in Budapest on rnr666 party.

Komodina 3 LP by Slovenly

I feel a flavour of little Latin, little Russian in it.

The guitarist Luke Winslow King‘s adopted home is New Orleans. (In deep of my soul it’s mine too.) There I-you-he can find delta blues ragtime jazz cajun gospel country rock and roll on the streets and bars. The mix of these traditional American musical styles called Americana:
