Singles Don’t Sell
It’s a pleasure to get a mail from the Canadian garage – punk – rock Telephone Explosion Records. If I see their mail in my box, I rub my hands because I know they have released another great record. And those are so good, that you can buy safely their any records without listening, because their name is a guarantee for the high octane rock’n’roll. There are two RNR666 related bands. The Hell Shovel gave a show in Budapest at RNR666 party already, while the Demon’s Claws were the band of Pierrot before Jack of Heart. Not long ago a fantastic primitive garage hard rock LP by Crosss arrived, and now here is the Teenanger album.
It’s interesting just so much as The Ramones. Listen!

Surprise! Dirtbombs. And the style is 70s bubblegum music! Yes, the entire LP. An old dream has come true, because the Detroit garage rockers intended to make a bubblegum album at first in 2003. Then the music changed to „car-commercial” pop rock. The second attempt was in 2007. At the time the album’s themes turned into too dark. And finally the success has arrived. Fanfares!
from Ooey Gooey Chewy Ka-blooey! LP by In The Red
There were some Dirtbomb surprises in the past. My favorite one is the Ultraglide in Black (2001), a collection of soul, R&B and Motown covers with an own track. And there is their previous album, the Party Store (2011) featuring covers of early Detroit techno and house. By the way, two drummers are in the band.

LOT OF HAIR, BURRITOS, AND BAD JOKES
An interview with
Mr. Elevator & The Brain Hotel
a really great 60s style psychedelic rock band from California
Hey guys! You’re Mr. Elevator and The Brain Hotel! You’re doin’ fuckin’ good things! What’s the style?
Hey, thanks man! The style? I guess if you combined a lot of hair, burritos, and bad jokes all at once in a weird magical spell it’d come out being somewhat of something like us….
You make many kinds of music like garage-psych-glam-pop-punk-rock in other bands as Feeding People, Cosmonauts*, Peach Kelli Pop, etc. How came the idea of the new style and band?
Mr. Elevator, like Moses, was a calling to us from a burning bush. A female’s burning bush.
Your music reminds me of The Doors and the Silver Apples (are an American pioneer psychedelic synth-drums duo. The group was active between 1967 and 1969. Reformed in 1996. – editor’s note), but sometimes the Madness come to my mind too. What is your opinion?
All great bands man. There are very few bands that really gave light to what an organ or just piano related instruments can do and sound like. Ray did a very fine job though.. RIP (e.n: Ray Manzarek was the organ player of The Doors. He passed away on May 20.)
Your name is very strange LSD-flavored. Were there some other alternatives?
We started actually as an all water zodiac signed jam band called Tropical Fish. Played a handful of shows with that name and a very obscure set of songs hahah but the name is actually a reference to a Donovan song. The ultimate musical mystic!
Your brilliant 1st LP is coming soon or…?
Soon! We’re re-recording what we just worked on the past few months because it just didn’t come out how we envisioned it. We have so many songs and not one album yet.. so expect a little something soon
Please offer some favorite local bands!
Froth! Mystic Braves! (Formerely known as Blackfoot Braves.) Jeffertiti’s Nile! Cool Ghouls! too many man good local music everywhere these days
And now please tell me a bizarre or a funny or a weekday story that happened in your circles nowadays!
Running Lolipop Records in Echo Park, we get a lot of strange encounters with homeless/batshit crazy folks. All ranging around supreme racial pride, death threats, and lactose intolerant homeless
What is your message to the readers?
You’re right where you ought to be why can’t you ever see everything you want is right here.

The Wonderful World of Axemen
Once upon a time „the Axemen began life as a seething mass of algae in a cess-pool located at the back of a disused factory somewhere in North Dunedin, New Zealand.The exact location of the cess-pool has unfortunately been lost to the ravages of time, but the factory still stands – a disused, vacant shell with little hope of being restored to its former majesty. Following a sudden meteor storm in 1983, the Axemen rapidly evolved, developed fully functional hands and ears (where before there had only been useless stumps) and metamorphosed rapidly into one of the most radical, chaotic and inspired rock bands of all time.” & so on.
They were one of the World most killingly funny bands but no one knew about it before the internet age. Beside many own released cassettes they has released three albums by the legendary Flying Nun Records. Prices of these items are extremely high nowadays. (For example the Peter Wang Pud used CD is 25-80 Euros, the vinyl are between 35-100 Euros.)
Suitable phrases for their music: radically independent do-it-yourself lo-fi garage art punk. But „I hung out with the Hare Krishnas in Christchurch for a little bit. They used to have free vegetarian dinners on Sunday nights. The music was pretty cool. There was sort of a Beatles connection with Hare Krishna. Stu was really into John Lennon. We were all Beatles fans.” Moreover their last cassette was a tribute album to Elton John in 1992. It’s so frightening, is not it? When I first met with them in 2011 I cried out „Oh my God! What is it?”
The first video is a rare and baffling TV performance in a Saturday morning kid show in 1991. The song (Hey Alice!) turns into a promo for their just released CD. I’m sure, many New Zealander children cried for Axemen CD after the show.
And the destiny has reached him too. They have become discovered. Their albums were re-released in the US by Siltbreeze. And now here is the new, yes the new Axemen album! Sac Tap Nut Jam. It’s less chaotic like the usual. A song from it.

The Urinals has begun as a punk parody band with minimal musical skill in 1978. The first show was so good that three of the five members stayed together like parody of themselves until 1983. At this moment they changed their name to 100 Flowers and disbanded. They have reformed in 1996. Their songs has been covered by Butthole Surfers, Digital Leather, Grass Widow, Halo of Flies, Human Eyes, Lili Z, Meatmen, Mika Miko, Mike Watt, Minutemen, Sex Cult, The Gun Club, Yo La Tengo and others.
