Hey Butt! What The Fuck?

a new series on RNR666 about serious questions

 

mb

MOUNTAIN BIKE is a very funny and playful Belgian garage rock band. Sometimes so pop like the Blur. Please click the play button for the full experience now!

 

– How turned this stupid name Mountain Bike out? I’m especially curious about the circumstances of the name giving. It was during a crazy night, or was it a hangover in a café, or a lazy afternoon? How did it happen?

– Well you know, we had no ideas, picking a name is always a pain in the ass. This band wasn’t supposed to last, It was just a joke. Running out of proposals, we chose „Mountain Bike” because we saw someone wearing a Mountain Bike T-shirt. How stupid is that?! And you? How did you end up with such an original name? R’n’R 666…

– It was a beautiful May afternoon. I was walking along the boulevard Nagykörút in Budapest when my phone rang. Lavór called me and asked

– Hey, want to do a biweekly rock and roll radio show with me and Pali?

– Why not?

– Ok. Then find its name out!

I went in Csiga Pub on the Rákóczi tér and ordered a beer. I was sitting at the table, the sun was shining, the beer was cold, and my brain played the song Killed by Death by Motörhead, and RNR666 was born. Anyway, what is the story of Mountain Bike? How did it start?

– It all started as a fun side project, we all had other bands as Thee Marvin Gays or  Warm Toy Machine, but we wanted something a bit different with no pressure. We soon had a couple of songs that we recorded with only two mics as equipment. Our friends really liked it so we put out a 7″ and started to play shows. Then we recorded a whole album at a friend studio, and we found the Humpty Dumpty label, that helped us to promote our record. That’s about it. Belgian and French medias seemed to like our debut album and we got to play a lot of shows in several countries as Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, UK, et cetera. We got very lucky and now Mountain Bike is our main band.

And it’s a very funny and playful garage rock band. Sometimes so pop like the Blur. If you have pushed the play now you are listening to their first album, but the second album out now on HUMPTY DUMPTY (Belg) and TEENAGE  MENOPAUSE RECORDS (Fra).

Experimental hard rock ambient jazz, sometimes danceable doom on drums, bass’n’sax by Italian trio MULBÖ. Reminds of the Austrian Electro Guzzi, the Hungarian Másfél, or the Italian Mombu, just not so heavy.

Company of Strangers

dag

To live on the outskirts, still isolated in the digital age from outside trends and current sounds as Australian musician Dusty Anastassiou. His band is DAG. Dag means the dried faeces left dangling from the wool on a sheep’s rear end, but also refers to being unfashionable, eccentric and fool-like.

Debut album Benefits of Solitude on Bedroom Suck Records (AUS), Omnian Music Group (US) and Cargo Direct (UK)

Early Iron Maiden Today

What was the Iron Maiden in the early ’80s today it is the Zig Zags

 

from 7″ vinyl on Famous Class Records (US)

EURO TOUR MARCH – APR Ger, Bel, NL, UK, Ire, Fr, Sp, It, Au, Swi, DK, Nor

 

„Hard rock, punk, power pop? Hardcore? I don’t know, just rock’n’roll, buddie”

boojiboy

His real name is Craig Allan Rothwell. Obsessed with the idea of genetic mutation, he submitted to a botched operation in an effort to land a media deal with a big media company. And he became Booji Boy – a bizarre adult infant freak with pre-adolescent sexuality and Yoda-like wisdom. He wrote a book entitled My Struggle. It has a red cover. Booji Boy primarily performs live with DEVO, but his voice was used on several early DEVO recordings because the character was created by them in the early 70s.

But look what happen when some BOOJI BOYS in Nova Scotia make music together, and sing songs about fun in the sun, class war and shameful fantasies.

Debut album on Drunken Sailor Records (UK)

 

So Stupid As Good

 

MOUNTAIN BIKE is a band from Brussels. Their name is so unfortunate and stupid as their indie poppy punky noisy garage rock good. Very.

Second album Too Sorry For Any Sorrow

on HUMPTY DUMPTY (Belg) and TEENAGE MENOPAUSE RECORDS (Fra)

 

Funny, like the Butthole Surfers

pcworship

PC WORSHIP is a band, solo project & collective of musicians, trimming steadily on the outskirts of punk, while enlisting methods of new music and free improvisation.

A journey through alternative rock, experimental tape manipulation, downer punk riffs and long form improv-based psychedelic instrumentals.

This time musicians from Liturgy, Guerilla Toss, and there is the complete no wave trio The Dreebs.

So funny, almost like the Butthole Surfers

New album Buried Wish on NORTHERN SPY RECORDS (US)

ÚJ HEPTAMERON

 

„Vérbaj nélkül az egész emberi faj úgy festene, mint kövér, zömök s pirospozsgás mészárosok hada.” Szomory Dezső (1869- 1944)

 

GUSTAVE TIGER

NEW HEPTAMERON

Fierce Circumcellions reveal my way
Le tenebre divine, summer’s on the wane
Poor Rembrandt sells his corpse in disguise
to Ganymede

I’m giving birth to bishoplike children
From Edinburgh of the Seven Seas
To Khartoum they fly
On sparkling wings of pure amethyst

New Heptameron, new decay
I drown my daughters in the clay
Vesta Blaise and Irene of Athens
Pass through the meridian

 

Nos a „circumcellions”, avagy a „körüljárók”, szélsőséges keresztény szekta tagjai voltak a IV. században Elítélték a magántulajdont és a rabszolgatartást, követelték a hitelek eltörlését, hirdették a szabad szerelmet és a mártíromság nagyszerűségét. Végül ez lett fő céljuk. Krisztus katonái Dícsértessék! kiáltásokat hallatva botokkal támadtak légionáriusokra, meg kereskedőkaravánokra, csupán-csak-hogy vértanúk lehessenek.

A „Le tenebre divine” annyit tesz latinul, hogy isteni sötétség. Mivel Isten istenségének teljes fényével fordul az ember felé, úgy elvakítja, hogy az ember ezt sötétségnek éli meg.

A Rembrandt eladja a holttestét az egy Bródy Sándor novella, ott egy gazdag zsidónak, itt Ganümédésznek, Zeusz fiúszeretőjének, az istenek pohárnokának.

edinburgh-of-the-seven-seas_cut

Edinburgh of the Seven Seas a világ legtávolabb lévő települése az Atlanti Óceán közepén, Tristan da Cunha szigetén. 270 lakos. A legközelebbi lakott terület 2,173 kilométerre van. Brit felségterület. Khartoum meg Szudán fővárosa.

Vesta Blaise Sommerset Maugham novellájában egy isten háta mögött besavanyodott színéznő. Athéni Irén meg bizánci császárnő volt a VIII. század végén. Megvakítatta a fiát és megállította a képrombolást.

– No de milyenek azok a püspökszerű gyerekek? – kérdezem Gustave Tigert.

– Szép, sima, fehér, bölcs, joviális, kövér gyerekek, szent emelkedettséggel az arcukon.

Gustave Tiger elmondta még, hogy az Új Heptameron eredetileg regény ötlet volt, illetve, már más címet adott neki. Továbbá

– Nagyon kedvelem Szomory Dezső munkásságát. Egyéni hangú író, akinél nem fontos se cselekményvezetés, se morális kérdés. Viszont csupa érdekes szereplő, gyönyörű szövegek, tumultus. L’art pour l’art szerű, mindenfajta szervező erő nélkül. Zavaros, dekadens, őrült, ijesztő, néha kurva vicces. Ilyenek szövegeink is.

– Szomory maximális szinten űzte az életet mint műalkotást. Maga tervezte bútorok, orgonája, csipkék, miseruhák, selymek, képek és szobrok között élt Budapesten az V. kerületben. A lakásban az ellipszis alakú toronyszoba uralkodott, körül végigfutó zsúfolt könyvespolccal. Aranyozott falámpa ült az elképesztően hatalmas, posztóval borított asztalon, körülötte temérdek céltalan, tanácstermi hangulatú monogramozott szék unatkozott. A látogató vas csigalépcsőn jutott fel a lakásba. Bár a bútorok jó része eléggé kínos szecessziós stílusban készült, s más lakásban furcsán hatott volna egy kékessárgás modern Steinlen plakát egy primitív szobor tőszomszédságában, ott mindez összhangba olvadt. A szobákat szétnyitható függönyök választották el, ajtaja még a fürdőszobának és a vécének sem volt.

A II. Lajos király című színdarabjának bemutatója előtt az Est lapok munkatársát barátcsuhában fogadta, nyakán körültekert sárga selyemsállal. Az ablakban állt, a napfény csóvájában, hosszú ujjait a Károli-biblián nyugtatva, s láthatóan megrettent, amikor a hírlapíró megjelent.

Ahá, ön az ? –  szólt bánatosan. S éppen most, mikor a bibliát forgatom. Na mindegy. S tovább játszotta, hogy a régmúltban él, semmit sem tud, senkit sem ismer.

Old School Slackers with Old School Rapper

 

NY punk band PARQUET COURTS with Texan rapper BUN B (ex-UGK), who one time planned a book „Hip Hop Survival Guide” with journalist and illustrator Shea Serrano, but finally they rather made a rap coloring book. So maybe Bun B has been drawn by his mate:

Captive Of The Sun ft. BUN B out now on limited edition 12” via Rough Trade.

The original track is on PARQUET COURTS’ latest album Human Performance.

In the lyrics there is a phrase: misophonia. It means literally „hatred of sound.” It is a condition in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. One study found that around 80% of the sounds were related to the mouth as eating, chewving, yawning and etc.
