Noise In My Head: Voices From the Ugly Australian Underground
Black & Green
In my mind there are some cases when a band suddenly changed radically its style. For example when hc/punk Beastie Boys changed to hip-hop in 1983. When new wave synth pop Ministry became an industrial metal act around 87. When Metallica lost himself in 90. When one of the most thrilling thrash metal bands Voivod made a psychedelic rock album Angel Rat in same year. When industrial band Laibach became a successful cover band first, and then became a synth-pop band during the years gradually. And now here is the long awaited new Lantern album Black Highways and Green Garden Roads. And as if it were made by an other band.
After their sensational wild rock’n’roll album they have released an easy, almost distortion free, sometimes dark psychedelic folk rock album, „taking ideas from the work of Hieronymus Bosch, Carl Sagan, and Mikhail Bulgakov”. „It’s an exploration of the natural world and the cosmos, and a celebration of the wonderful, the serious, and the absurd.” They also said that it’s a result of many oversteeped pots of black tea.
It was recorded at The Bottle Garden, a home studio in Montreal filled with vintage gear and an array of instruments during 22 non-sequential days over a year and a half in 2013/14. More so than previous recordings, it is a collaborative effort born of studio improvising and collective exploration. They used new, unfamiliar instruments, such as organ and kalimba, and they experimented with tape loops and group harmonies.
Really fine songs – except for the cover version of Solomon Burke’s Cry To Me from 1962. It’s a mistake, just like the Rolling Stones’ version. (Listen to the original one.) The songs come Roy Orbison, 60s Rolling Stones, psychedelic era Voivod, and Illés (Hungarian beat legend) to my mind. And there is the bass theme of Dead Kennedys’ Holiday in Cambodia in the song We Are Here:
But the album is too long. And unfortunately badly edited, so it is hard to listen from first to last. It would have been better if there an LP with 10 songs and an EP with 4 (He Is A Pinball; Wait, Wait; Cry To Me; We Are Here Again) had been released.

There is a fuckin good rock’n’roll band in Philadelphia. So ultra fuckin good that Goodbye Boozy also released them three years before. And at long last here is the new, the second LANTERN album! Black Highways and Green Garden Roads.
This has written about it by their labels: „Taking ideas from the work of Hieronymus Bosch, Carl Sagan, and Mikhail Bulgakov, the new album is an exploration of the natural world and the cosmos, and a celebration of the wonderful, the serious, and the absurd. More so than previous recordings, it is a collaborative effort born of studio improvisation and collective experimentation. The resulting collection is a diverse and sophisticated 14-song program that balances concise pop and lush psychedelic rock with weirder, headier jams.” And it „is an ambitious and distinctly ’60s-inspired rock ‘n’ roll record, rich with surf, soul, and hard rock textures.”

Just Me, Myself, and I
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

Rough Sex with Pure Heart – Vagina Town Interview
On the 10th birthday party of RNR666 there will be a French ultrafuckin’hot rock’n’roll band, VAGINA TOWN. They’re so amazing like The Cramps.
Lavór: How did you got together?
Jeremie: Gina and I met in high school at respectively 17 and 15 in 98. We got together something like a year after and kept being stuck after each other ever since. We started to play music in bands in 2007. Vagina Town started has a duo beatbox bass guitar in 2009. We’ve been playing trio from 2010 to 2011. Then the band has been in stand by, until we started all over again in 2013 has a four pieces with Patou (drummer), and Rachouchou (keyboards).
Szabó: What represent your name?
We found that name during the first days of the band. It could have been Ravachol Crack* or Sex Minute. We were much more in some high speed energy at the time. Beat box guitar wolf… Anyway, we caught „Vagina Town” by watching an episode of Californication. Which is not a so funny series in my opinion… But some good jokes I admit. „Vagina Town” is also a real porn movie shot in the 90’s .
Now, talking about the band, Vagina Town can represent sex, energy, energy of sex… repressed and just about to blow everything up if you don’t let it out. Or having rough sex with a pure heart. … I’m not really sure actually.
*Ravachol (1859-92) was a French anarchist. He tried to make a better world with bombs. After some experiments he lost his head.
Zsófi: How often do you get joking questions about the influence of cramps on vagina…. town?
Not so much, because in France people are quite lousy at speaking foreign languages. So if you’re lucky enough to meet someone listening to the Cramps, he’s maybe not totally aware of the meaning of it. But we got many many comparison with them. Whereas I don’t think our music sounds like the Cramps. We love the Cramps for a long time. But we also love …. the Beatles (and know every songs) for example. Patou and I are listening to a lot of old rnb soul stuff… And many more things combined…
I think our Cramps thing is… in the clothes, girls playing music, some live energy and the sex references. We had the luck to see them once, performing in Brussels in 2003. I’m dreaming one day Poison Ivy would lend a hand on a Vagina record!!!
Lavór: Is it sexism or not if a band has boy and girl members too?
Jeremie: I’m not sure to understand the question. There’s probably some sexist attitudes in the band, it depends a lot of what you call sexism. I like to think we’re just people playing music. But I really like to play music with THESE special girls.
Gina: I don’t feel any sexist attitudes in the band. But sexism appears more often during the shows in the public or among the other bands we are playing with. I like to play with girls, I had a few girl bands, but it’s not my main concern to play with girls only.
Lavór: 1st is the Sex, 2nd the Drugs, 3rd is the Rockandroll. Is this proper order?
Jeremie: Sex 1, Rock n roll 2, Drugs 3 for all of us. As drug is an upper for exploring other things, or a way to stand the world. As you know, drugs can be very destructive and leading to poorness and diseases. So drugs! Yes! But as an improvement of something. I’m not so excited about taking legal happy pills, working in an oxygen factory in 2072. Luckily, I’ll be death by drugs then.
What’s your opinion about the legalization of ecstasy and MDMA?
I’m not sure I’m pro or anti drug legalization. As I told you about drugs before: what are you looking for by taking drugs? When you’re depressed, poor, if you got any problems… drugs won’t solve any of them. But drugs do feel fucking good. So yes if legalization means: avoiding cops, jail, money problems, providing state care… If it’s about taking money from the drug dealers to offer the market to big companies of the (not always)legal economy, with the same cynicism: it’s not a matter of excitement. But boy, I love so much to listen to music, watch gigs on MDMA!

Tiszta szívvel durva szex – Vagina Town interjú
Az RNR666 10. szülinapi buliján fellép egy kibaszott jó francia rock’n’roll banda, a VAGINA TOWN. Olyan mint a Cramps. Bár – mint kiderül – azért a képlet nem ilyen egyszerű.
Lavór: Hogy jöttetek össze?
Jeremie: Ginával még a középiskolában találkoztunk 98-ban. Azóta vagyunk összeragadva. A Vagina Town 2009-ben indult, mint egy beatbox bassz ‘n’gitár duó. 2010-11 között lett trió, majd kis szünet után Patou (dob) és Rachouchou (billentyű) csatlakozásával alakult ki a mai felállás 2013-ban.
Szabó: Mit fejez ki a nevetek?
A szex energiáját. Amit ha elfojtanak, felrobbant bármit. Vagy például: tiszta szívvel durva szex. Egyébként Vagina Town mellett a Ravachol Crack* és a Sex Minute volt még bedobva. A nevet egy amerikai komédia sorozatból, a Californication-ből szedtük. Egyik főszereplője ezzel a címmel forgatott pornó filmet. De van egy igazi pornó film is ezzel a címmel. Egyébként a Californication, bár volt benne néhány tényleg szellemes bemondás, nem volt valami haj de nagy eresztés.
*Ravachol (1859-92) francia anarchista volt, aki bombákkal próbálta meg jobbá tenni az életet. A kísérletsorozat végén fejét vesztette.
Zsófi: Milyen gyakran teszik fel nektek a vicces kérdést, hogy milyen hatással van a Cramps a Vaginára? (az angol szlengben cramps-nek nevezik a menstruációs görcsöket – a szerk.)
Elvétve, mert a franciáknak elég felületes az idegen nyelv ismerete. Így ha van szerencséd találkozni olyasvalakivel, aki ismeri a Cramps-et, az nem feltétlen tudja, mit jelent a szó. Persze rengetegen mondták ránk, hogy tiszta Cramps. Szerintem viszont nincs akkora zenei hasonlóság. Persze imádjuk őket. De ugyanannyira szeretjük például a Beatlest is. Aztán Patou meg én rengeteg régi rhythm’n’blues meg soul zenét is hallgatunk. Szóval sok minden keveredik minálunk. Inkább a kosztümök, a csajok meg a szexuális vonatkozások rokonítanak minket a Cramps-szel. Egyébként volt szerencsénk látni őket 2003-ban Brüsszelben. No meg van egy álmom. Hogy Poison Ivy közreműködik egy Vagina Town lemezen.
Lavór: Szexizmus vagy sem ha egy bandának férfi és nő tagjai is vannak?
Jeremie: Nem egészen értem a kérdést. Talán van egy kis szexista attitűd a zenekarban, de attól függ, mit értesz a kifejezésen. Én nagyon szeretek ezekkel a roppant különleges lányokkal együtt zenélni.
Gina: Nem érzek semmiféle szexista magatartást a zenekarban. Viszont a közönség soraiban, illetve más bandák esetében annál gyakrabban találkozom vele. Volt néhány csajbandám is, szeretek lányokkal játszani, de nem fő szempont, hogy csak velük játsszak.
Lavór: Sex’n’drugs’n’rock’n’roll. Így helyes a sorrend?
Jeremie: Nálunk: Sex 1, Rock n Roll 2, Drugs 3.
És mi a véleményed az ecstasy és az MDMA legalizációjáról?
Mikor elnyomott vagy, szegény, vagy bármilyen más problémád van, a drog nem fog segíteni. Nem is azért van. Hanem hogy kibaszott jól érezd magad tőle. Továbbá hozzásegít, hogy másképp lásd a világot. Persze ha nem vigyázol, könnyen beleragadhatsz abba a más világba.
A liberalizáció egy fejlődési folyamat vége. Viszont mint oxigéngyári dolgozót különösebben nem fognak izgatni a legális boldogság pirulák 2072-ben. Főleg, hogy akkor én már rég a drogok áldozata leszek.
Tőlem mehet a liberalizáció, ha azt jelenti, hogy nincs rendőr, nincs börtön, de van állami felügyelet. Viszont ha azt jelenti, hogy a piacot a dealerektől a so-so legális gazdaság nagy cégei kaparintják meg, s a tőlük megszokott cinizmussal vágnak bele az üzletbe – akkor nem érdekel. Amúgy imádok zenét hallgatni, meg koncerteket látogatni MDMA-ben.
