new records coming soon by TOTAL PUNK RECORDS (US)

for a half minute exactly as the Queen
every kind of loony prog jazz rock tunes from Lyon by CHROMB!
Their music comes almost evereybody from the Czech avantgarde jazz rock scene to my mind like Jablkon, Rozmazane Deti, Bez Ladu A Skaldu, Uz Jsme Doma, Psi Vojaci.
You don’t know them? No problem because also there are 16-17 and alboth! from the Golden Age of Swiss Jazzcore.
If you are not familiar with those crazy days then they mention such influences like Melt-Banana, King Crimson or John Zorn.
But no problem if you don’t know them because somewhere for a half minute exactly as the Queen. Check it here.
MONSTERS, LOVE SONGS, MONKEYS
Do you know that comrade Stalin was chosen two times as the Man Of The Year by Time?
One, in 1939, because of his pact with Hitler; and two, in 1942, because of battle of Stalingrad.
And what do you think who was the Man in 1938? The Devil’s organist
BUT MORE IMPORTANT here are some humans of our times
a great little rock and roll band VAGINA TOWN from Nantes
from debut album 11 LOVE SONGS on KYTHIBONG RECORDS (France)
Anyway there was a research recently at Leiden University in the Netherlands which found out that just as humans recognise faces, chimps recognise each others’ butt. So now imagine the cover of the The Monkey Time’s Chimp of The Year.

Sonic Youth, Nirvana, HC-Punk
I have already known about that the cats meowing differently by regions – a project is running in the Swedish Lund University about cat saying; the Cat – Swedish dictionary will be presented around 2021. But today I have got known about that the song birds sing on higher tune because of the greenhouse effect, and UFO migrants are on the Moon, and another Aussie band, LEAVINGS
This single is their debut release before the forthcoming LP. During the first listening I have written down what came to my mind: Sonic Youth, Nirvana, HC-Punk
They say these „tracks represent the band’s response to the frustration of living in an Australia whose leaders become nastier and more cynical with each passing year.”
They write: RIYL: Unwound, Flying Nun records, The Men, Rosetta, Fugazi, Japandroids, Sonic Youth, Blank Realm, Neu!, P.K. 14, mewithoutYou, Turnpike, A Place to Bury Strangers.
Sell & Shark is available in digital format from TENZENMEN RECORDS and LEAVINGS‘ bandcamp. Physical copies can be obtained directly from the band, and from various record stores in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Gold Coast.
Anyway if you would like to watch a perfect MONTY PYTHON EPISODE ABOUT MEOWING RESEARCH, then click the video in the article on Lund University website!
Oh my biedermeier friend
Recently we have started a series about lyrics of the Hungarian garage rock band GUSTAVE TIGER because they have very strange lyrics. Those are full with historical, mythological and literary references.
The home of the Hungarian versions is our site. The English versions will be published in other magazines everytime.
EASTERNDAZE has given place for the first part. It is a platform for up-and-coming independent Eastern European arts and music scenes. The team is also running a record label BABA VANGA. Because „during our travels in Central and Eastern Europe, from Gdansk to Skopje and beyond, we have met several amazing musicians and heard some great great music.” It focuses on the idiosyncratic, the undefinable and uncategorisable.
So my biedermeier friend you can find the post about GUSTAVE TIGER’s song Thermidor in English here thanks to Lucia and EASTERNDAZE.
„And so begins the final drama
In the streets and in the fields”
Do You Like Melt-Banana?
If yes, then you also like French bass/drums duo DAiKiRi
Fast, short, chaotic songs, and some long one.
NEW ALBUM „MARCEL SUPRA” OUT NOW on vinyl and CD
on Et Mon Cul C’est Du Tofu?, Who Is Brain Records, Ascenseur Émotionnel, La Face Cachée Records (all French), Hola Halo DIY (Italy), NAAB (Czech) and Red Wig Records (Germany). Buy digital copy via Bandcamp
But who is Marcel Supra? I have asked them.
„Marcel Supra is a fictionnal character, you can see him on the cover of the record, he is the personification of the wood-burning stove that we use in our practice room.”

let there be rock and roll
from debut album on RIP SOCIETY RECORDS (AUS)
from UK/EU buy here from AUS here
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.

Euro tour > 25 Nov – 10 Dec Germany, Switzerland, France, UK, Holland: You can find the exact dates and places on a poster under the embedded album.
Muck Pile For Trash Rockers
This year Swiss rock and roll band The Monsters turned into his 30th. The Monsters are such a phenomenon like Motörhead. They also have a very own style. „M” is the 2nd of the 3 anniversary albums. It is a muck pile for trash rockers. Raw, short, fast songs almost without melodies, but with minimlaist lyrics. Exempli gratia
And the penmanship is laudable. Every info is written by hand with blue and red pens. It has brought my self-decorated high school’s books to my mind.
„M” OUT NOW ON VOODOO RHYTHM RECORDS! Anyway the title of the album is taken from Fritz Lang’s film „M”. Here is
Record release tour in November Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Holland, Norway, Belgium.
FOXY LADY VS REVEREND BIRDMAN

NEW ALBUM OUT on GONER RECORDS
Their records were also released by
SS, Slovnly, Castle Face or Amphetamine Reptile Records.
Andre Williams 80
„If you go fuck three girls in one week, you fuck all three of them good! You know what I mean? If you do a song, put you heart in it! Don’t come up with no bullshit lyric! Come up with the real lyric! If the word is „Take it out, let me see it”, then say it! Don’t say stuff like „Ooh, you look kinda mysterious to me.” That ain’t sayin’ the same damn thing!”
ANDRE WILLIAMS is a wonder. Not just because of his oeuvre, but also because he is not just alive, but active up to this date. He made many songs in various styles as rock and roll, blues, soul, funk, rap or garage rock, and not just for himself. In the first chapter of his career he worked together e.g. Supremes, Stevie Wonder, Ike and Tina Turner, George Clinton and more. In the second chapter which started in late 80s he worked with Jon Spencer, and members of such garage rock bands as The Oblivians, Dirtboms or Gories. Yestarday our black godfather turned into his 80th.
His career has started with a fraudulent enlistment in 1950. When he was 14 he joined the US Navy with his brother’s birth certificate, because the age limit was 17. But not long after this his brother got drafted.
I’m moving marines on the USS Compton Destroyer from shore to a hospital ship, under fire every fuckin’ night! Boom! Boom! I’m a trainee on the 40 mm. Fifteen motherfuckin’ years old, OK? These motherfuckers fly me back to Washington, give me a general Court Martial and send me to the penitentiary for a year! Fraudulent enlistment! On the Court Martial board, I’m sitting with five fuckin’ admirals. All stiff, bold, big motherfuckers, you know.
My lawyer said „Send this kid home, he’s a child!” Then they came back and said „One year in Fort Levenworth, and a dishonourable discharge” and I said [adopts slow dramatic tone] „Kiss-my-ass-mother-fuckers!” So they appealed the case and they sent me back from Fort Levenworth after 6 weeks for a retrial. I go back on the retrial, thinking they gonna cut me-a-loose. Them cocksuckers made the year stick and give me a bad conduct discharge. All they did change was the discharge. You get a red corduroy coat, a Ben Hogan cap, a pair of black pants, twenty five dollars and a train ticket with your choice of destination.
He didn’t go back to Chicago. He feared that would be send to a reformatory school, so he went to Detroit. It was a Tuesday when he arrived. There he found a theatre where on every Tuesday evening was a talent show. 25 USD was the first prize. Afternoon he wrote his first song and won. And next week won again, and then again and again, and finally got a contract from a little record label Fortune Records. His break trough hit was the „Bacon Fat” in 1956. He said about
When I came up with „Bacon Fat” I was travelling from Detroit to Memphis. That’s when I knew that I had to come up with a gimmick. So I stopped in Memphis and I got an egg and bacon sandwich – on toast! I’m driving and a lot of places where we used to travel, it was only a two lane highway so you’d see the cotton pickers on both sides and I’m driving and [starts tapping a beat on his thigh, starts humming] „Down in Tennessee… and the name of the dance is…” and I had the sandwich in my hand and there it came, „The Bacon Fat!”
He was there when Motown came alive, and also produced recordings for another little label Chess Records (Muddy Waters, Bo Diddley, Little Walter, Chuck Berry, Howlin’ Wolf). Worked together with Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gay, The Contours, The Supremes, Ike and Tina Turner, Edwin Starr, Parliament, Funkadelic and many more. But in the 80s he slipped into poverty because of his alcohol and drug addictions, and even he lived as a homeless in Chicago too. His comeback album „Directly From The Streets” in 1990 refers to this tract. It was a funk rap album. Since then he made many fantastic albums with different bands and musicians, for example:
soul band The Diplomats of Solid Sound, jazz-funk-rock band Morning 40 Federation under pseudonym The New Orleans Hellhounds, Canadian country rock and roll band The Sadies, Chicago garage rock band The Goldstars, members of The Oblivians, Dirtboms, Dirty Three, Crime & City Solution, Cheater Slicks, Gories and same ones.
This is his greatest hit. Originally it was written for The Five Du-Tones in 1963.
His brand new album released this summer on Bloodshot Records
