French Canadian garage rock and roll blues punk musician Skip Jensen arrives in Budapest at RNR666 Party on 29 January.

Founder of garage rock blues punk band Scat Rag Boosters (which was like the Oblivians and the Gories) and played drums with the Demon’s Claw, but he had a bunch of songs the he’d written that just didn’t seem to fit in anywhere, so he created a solo project. In the beginning it was a one man band, then duo with Seb Normal (Feeling of Love) and finally a trio.

Those were certainly very comic acts when the two founders looked for mates, because the condition was: can play any kind of instrument is absolutely needless. – Do you feel like joining us? – But I can’t play any instruments. – Oh it’s great! We need such an incompetent man exactly like you to make good noisy punk rock music:

Baroness von Sacher-Masoch aka Marianne Faithfull
gives a concert in her mother’s hometown on Dec 15 at MUPA

There she presents her new album which was made in collaboration with Nick Cave, Roger Waters, Anna Calvi, Rob Ellis, Dimitri Tikovoi, Pat Leonard, Tom McRae and more, along with her famous song.

She has begun her singing career as a folk music performer in coffeehouses in 1964. Her first hit was “As Tears Go By” was written by Jagger, Richards. It was among their first original compositions. As Jagger’s girlfriend in these years she made big impression on the Stones. For example she is co-author of Sister Morphine. First it was recorded by herself with Jagger, Ry Cooder, Jack Nitschze and Charlie Watts, and was released as B-side of her single in 1969.

„Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can’t you see I’m fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last
Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head”

The Stones’ version was released in 1971, but by this time she broke with Jagger, and became a drug  addict homeless…
