5crap5 doesn’t hesitate to wear her obsession with 80s synth rock on her sleeve, citing The Human League, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Flock of Seaguls, OMD, Gary Numan and Devo as influences. I didn’t want to believe that she’s also an Aussie.

Makrohang in Budapest at Kisüzem tonight 20:30!

„hypnotic psychedelic-rock-experimental-dub (or what!?)”

When I have heard to their music via internet I thought it’s too abstract jazz rock for me, but when I have seen them on stage there was a very different feeling. It was a strange rock’n’roll experience.

„ma már ne felejtsétek el, hogy csütörtökön a Kisüzemben attack. törekszünk majd a pontos kezdésre, ami 20.30. ok? és lesznek új számok, plusz megint nagyon helyesek leszünk. megéri na.”

Last item of the 4 x 7″ singles series of Ketamines. The Canadian band’s music is a very special mix of garage beat, bedroom blues, kitchen rock, living room country, bathroom surf, basement pop and homeless glam. I broke into a smile when I pressed the button.

The 1st, 2nd & 3rd singles

If you know The Pussywarmers then you will be surprised. There is no trace of the punk swing. Chansons, folk ballads, psychedelic beats, rocks and seagulls on a tropical coast. I like this better than the previous albums, but one thing is missing for me, the polyglotry.

FAI BABA – SHE’S MY GURU

At first I overlooked that this album is a great one because I was wonder-struck by doomenfels so much.  But when I edited the (very coming soon) radio show from these albums on the first round I wrote to a paper the number of selected songs during the listening. On the occasion of Fai Baba I selected almost the full album.

Fai Baba was founded by Fabian Sigmund in Zürich, 2008, after he came back his spititual journey from India as „Psychedelic, Garage and Soul man.” He writes and plays very strange and highly enetertaining music. Krautrock-like psych pop, drenched with noisy space rock, spiced with a little 70s disco pumping sometimes. In short: very indie rock. Beside the drums and guitars you can find a heep of old keys intstruments as Farfisa, Ace Tone and Hammmond organs, Rhodes and Crumar electric pianos, Omnichord and Moog on this album.

Fai Baba is influenced by John Lee Hooker, who rarely played on a standard beat.
