Tomorrows Tulips has been formed as a duo because Alex’s girlfriend „Christina said something about hating to go to Paul Mitchell hair school and I asked her what she always wanted to do. She said she wanted to learn drums but thought that was ridiculous.” At that time Alex was in the garage rock band Japanese Motors.

He was sixteen or seventeen the first time he heard the Velvet Underground box-set. „I remember listening to Velvet Underground and the out-of-tune guitars and there was such a sense of freedom to it. I think I heard them and thought, I wanna do that.” And he does that.

Today the band is a trio, but the drummer is Jennifer. They are difficult egomaniacs, coming from Costa Mesa, Orange County, California, and play esoteric doo wop grunge, and you will hear really cool bass if you click now

Wild Garage Punk Entertainment by THE JACKETS from Switzerland!

60s garage + mod + 77s punk + lil psychedelia!!

Keep Yourself Alive

from their third album Shadows of Sound by Voodoo Rhythm Records!!!

Members are Jack Torera – formerly the guitarist for the girl garage rock group The Mad Cowgirl Disease; Chris Rosales: formerly the drummer of Lightning Beat-Man and the Never Heard of ‘Ems, Reverend Beat-Man and the Unbelievers and The Get Lost; Samuel Schmidiger: singer and guitar player for The Budget Boozers!!!!

Whooa! It’s a fucking good band – I said during the listening to the recordings, despite I am not a big fan of math rock. And finally it turned up that two bands’ songs was mixed up in my player, the Ukrainian Gravitsapa, and the Italian Astolfo Sulla Luna (Astolfo on the Moon).

Astolfo plays quantum mechanic rock which is based on uncertainty principle under strong influence of literature. „Obnoxious, antiseptic, mathematician, restless, unreal, evil, tender.” Synthesize the reality and then spit it out with delay distortions. Anyway „Astolfo hates you. But basically, it is hated by everyone…” And he has a horn, so loud that his all enemies to flee in terror when it sounds.

Astolfo is one of the 12 paladins of Charlemagne, went to the Moon on Elijah’s chariot of fire to search his friend Orlando’s wit. Because on the Moon „is wonderfully stored / Whatever on our earth below we lose. / Collected there are all things whatsoe’er, / Lost through time, chance, or our own folly, here.” And there Astolfo of course found Orlando’s wit in a bottle – by poem of Ludovico Ariosto (1474-1533).

But chariot of fire does not run too often, so if we want to travel to the Moon because for example do not find our mental balance, we maybe can use a Pepelats interplanetary spacecraft. And it has an important component which allows intergalactic travel: Gravitsapa. From which this Ukrainian math rock band has got his name.

„Musicians do not expect to find understanding on Earth, so they are trying to gain spiritual experience and create music as divinities for new audiences of spiritual connoisseurs of inadequate.” They are constantly compared with King Crimson, which band was unknown for them, and mainly inspired by film directors: by sincerity of Jodorowsky (Chilean scholar in comparative religion, playwright, director, producer, composer, actor, mime, comic book writer, tarot reader, historian and psychotherapist), craziness of Lynch, atmospheric of Sokurov (Russian), conceptuality of Yevgeny Yufit (necrorealist Russian) and the monotony of Hungarian Béla Tarr. And Pepelats comes from a Soviet sci-fi black comedy Kin-Dza-Dza!

When I listened to them two bands came to my mind: the  proto math rock hardcore jazz Victim’s Family, and the Dutch jazz punk band Morzelpronk.

BAPHOMET’S BLOOD is an Italian speed metal band. Here is the last song of their forthcoming album In Satan We Trust

Merő képtelenség, hogy egy olasz metál banda feldolgozza egy magyar hard rock együttes 1986-ban kislemezen megjelent számát, szövegét angolra fordítsa, és lemezen kiadja 2016-ban

With this a plumb nonsense has come true. Because it’s a cover of a short-lived Hungarian hard rock band Fáraó‘s song, which was released in 1986 as a single. And this was the only record of the band. I’ve asked them what is the story behind the cover.

A hogy-hogy kérdésre a banda frontembere, Halálhányásterror Viktor válaszol

Vittorio Necrovomiterror: I love Hungary and Hungarian metal scene!!!!! I am a vinyl collector and finally I’ve found the 7″ of Farao!!!! Completely obessesed by that band!!!! We release the cover in English on the new LP!!

Yes, the lyrics is translation of the original!

Szóval Vittorio annyira a szám hatása alá került, hogy a dal szövegét is lefordíttatta! A feldolgozás a banda Mi a Sátánban hiszünk című lemezén jelenik meg e hó 25-én. Kiadja a német Vas Csontfej Produkció. Meg akarod hallgatni a teljes lemezt?

In Satan We Trust will be released by Iron Bonehead Productions on January 25th. You can listen to the full album. But “If you want to listen [to] Baphomet’s Blood, buy a turntable, a bottle of Jim Beam bourbon whiskey and worship Satan!” – said Vittorio in an interview.

It was a huge surprise. When I have got the records of Aversion To Focus from Nyíregyhaza, Hungary. I have known that there something was in the making. But it was under construction for years. And it would be awesome Meshuggah influenced industrial metal, or ultra hard grind rock:

another drop

Aversion To Focus is a duo of FFR – making the music, previously played on bass in UnfitAss, a death later modern metal band – and Gabor, the vocalist from the recently disbanded crust/grind band Human Error.

The album Overflow Of Nothing is coming soon.

It’s one of the best European garage rock/punk labels. The Italian label is focusing limited edition 7″ vinyls. Here is the first load in 2016

GB 112 – MILK LINES 7″ single. 250 copies with three different covers.

(Canada)

GB 113 – SICK THOUGHTS / BLACK PANTIES split 7″ EP. 300 copies.

Apropos of a previous GBB release RNR666 wrote about Sick Thoughts: „Lo-fi raw garage punk. As if the LiveFastDie and the Outdoorsmen would play at the same time. Sometimes like a lo-fi garage Motörhead.”  The Black Panties are similar. The song, Shoot Me in My Head is brilliant, the best Sick Thoughts track what I have ever heard. Sick Thoughts euro tour march 2016!!! (They are from US)

GB 114 – ANDY HUMAN and The REPTOIDS – Sarcastic – 7″ EP. 250 copies with three different covers.

GB 116 – UFUX – III – 7″ single. 250 copies with three different covers.

UFUX is Christopher Ilth’s new band. He was in Functional Blackouts and Daily Void, and play hc-punk. As montage artist he said in an interview: „I gravitated towards Dada & Surrealism through the pioneers of the punk movement in the 70’s. Those art movements shared individuality, autonomy, rebellion. However, punk, while having a visual side through fashion, record sleeves & fliers, was mainly about music. Dada & Surrealism was not only a visual art movement, but was also a revolt of everyday life with manifestos, pranks, and revolution that made a statement against the establishment and reason.” (US)

Be fast if you want one or all of them!

RNR666 GOODBYE BOOZY INTERVIEW

Hi dear there, here is the RNR666 RADIO SHOW. The Second One Man Band Broadcast is the first rnr666 radio show which has been edited in the United Kingdom. (Our first one man band show is officially lost.)

Lavór (Basin) has asked me to write Hungarian too. So szóval remélem te ándersztend engem. But what is One Man Band, magyarul: ván men bend?

„Itt látható a nagyhírű bűvész!
A lábával karikázik,
A kezével citerázik,
Az orrával orgonázik,
A fülével figurázik,
A szemével gurgulázik,
A szájával vacsorázik!”

from Vásár (Fair) poem by Weöres Sándor. Roughly in English

Here is the famous magician!
Plays with wheels by his foot,
Plays zither by his hands,
And organ with his nose,
Makes figures by his ears,
Gurgles with his eyes,
And eats with his mouth!

I think you see, but for example here is O Lendário Chucrobillyman and His Trash Tropical One Man Band Orquestra

HÚRKÚRÓK (H)

in BUDAPEST at RNR666 PARTY on 28 JAN

Here is the new album of Rocket From The Tombs

– Is it a punk band? – No. It pre-dated punk rock.
– Is it alternative? – No. It aspired to the mainstream.
– Is it legendary? – No. It’s mythical.

It was formed in 1974 by e.g. David Thomas and Cheetah Chrome in Cleveland, where – they say – everything was doomed. The band did not reach its first birthday, and never went into a studio. But it left behind such songs as Sonic Reducer or 30 Seconds Over Tokyo for its descendants. The first would be a Dead Boys anthem, the second one a Pere Ubu hit.

The originals were released in 2002. Almost the original line-up reunited in 2003. Their first studio album was released in 2011, and now here is the second. The Black Record has been made in co-production with the members of This Moment In Black History. Where the drummer is Bim Thomas, aka Obnox, who is the drummer of Bassholes, one of the best blues punk band.

A bloody actual song from the album

The band is on tour now in US, UK, NL, Belgium and France.

And `you want to know something? We are still in the Dark Ages. The Dark Ages — they haven’t ended yet.` This is the end of Deadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut.

Ha már nem hatnak meg sem a rövid szavatosságú, felkapott külföldi zenekarok, akik három perces mutatványaikkal legfeljebb bólogatást váltanak ki és ha spirituális élmény volt a tavalyi Wooden Shjips koncert a hajón, akkor igazi örömhír, hogy Erik ‘Ripley’ Johnson ezúttal másik zenekarával érkezik Budapestre. A Moon Duo hangzása nem áll túl távol a Ripley első zenekarától, a Wooden Shjipstől megszokott elszállós, monoton pszichedelikus rocktól. A Ripley és felesége, Sanae alkotta duó azonban nem annyira a Velvet Underground felől közelít az elmélyüléshez, hanem inkább úgy érdemes zenéjüket elképzelni, mintha Suicide számokat akarnának játszani gitáros felállásban. A teret kitöltő visszhangok és a pszichedélia azonban egy percre sem írja felül a minimalizmust.

Legújabb lemezük, a Shadow Of The Sun idén jött ki a Sacred Bones Recordsnál és pontosan olyan, mint amilyenre a Moon Duótól számítani lehet, viszont ez egyáltalán nem baj.
