3 punks, 1-1 from Japan, France and Spain, together with
a Caribbean tennis teacher,

who unlike the others was not in a band before,
but was chosen for singing because he is a frenetic dancer, well,
they met at first at a Billy Childish gig at Dirty Water Club in London,
and soon they formed the

KING SALAMI & THE CUMBERLAND 3

influenced by the 50-60s rhythm and blues, rockabilly, rock and roll and soul,
like Andre Williams, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Bo Diddley, Sonics, Trashmen, Link Wray, James Brown and more. They play it with punk attitude in an exceptional manner.

Berlin based Israeli musician Charlie Megira is dead.

It is total unbelievable for me. No, that is just a bad joke. He is so young, and need to play at RNR666 Party.

But it seems the whisper is real.

Charlie Megira was an exceptional musician, a guitar virtuoso. On the picture above with his last band The Bet-She’an Valley Hillbillies. „Surf, Poetry, Rockabilly” was the slogan

but the formula is not so simple.

When I met his music at first he played wispy almost ethereal surf rock and roll on guitar, piano and castanets. But after he made a Joy Division- , Cure-, Sisters of Mercy like dark wave album with his girlfriend as Charlie Megira & Hefker Girl. After Charlie Megira and The Modern Dance Club was founded, where every mentioned style merged into high energy garage rock. And finally he went back to the beach with The Bet-She’an Valley Hillbillies. The last album.

And a free download live show on WFMU radio with covers of Joy Division’s Heart And Soul and TV Personalities’ Diary Of A Young Man.

And an interview with almost all of his music, and a „best of” playlist on RNR666 mag.

A fragment from it:

„I also used to hang out with my older cousin that introduced me to some rock music like Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, and more. I remember I once asked him why all those bands are wearing dirty and ripped cloths, I thought they were poor and maybe could not afford to buy nice cloths… Anyway I really got into this heavy rock and also liked Bob Marley a lot. (…) I had a roommate that played The Smiths on a tape and for me it sounded horrible so I punched him in the face and broke the cassette and put on the Scorpions’ gold ballads.”

Hey Charlie, just one more song, please!

„Tell young teenagers the news, we got good hard rock”

Mick Cancer, Sal Mineo’s Only Son (aka Ben Vaughn), Barb Dwyer and Palmyra Delran are together

PINK SLIP DADDY

was a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia from the late 80s up to 1995. Next year 12 Golden Country Greats was released by Ween with Ben Vaughn as producer.

The band was reformed in 2012, and in 2016 they have „returned to rock action with a vengeance, having recently played a string of calamitous live shows and a new 7” EP, a rollicking, raucous heartfelt celebration of the music of teen pop idol Fabian Forte, and the golden age of Philadelphia rock ‘n’ roll.”

Fabian’s music career lasted exactly so far while Elvis Presley as a sergeant of US 3rd Armoured Division served in Western Germany between 1959-60. A short film about Fabian, the manufactured idol.

But more important that here is a 7″ vinyl with 3 new songs on French label Kizmiaz Records. The first ones after 22 years

so PINK SLIP DADDY  is a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia again. And you can find some old songs on their soundcloud free to download

Primitiva   Primordiale   Essentiale

THE DEVILS formed in 2015 in Naples. In the beginning they did countless shows in Italy DIY and France where they meet up with Jim Diamond from the DIRTBOMBS who recorded their first full Lenght album, the same day Reverend Beat-Man from VOODOO RHYTHM RECORDS was in the same town and got their recordings and signed them up on the label.

RNR666 ONE MAN BAND BROADCAST

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

HÚRKÚRÓK (H)

in BUDAPEST at RNR666 PARTY on 28 JAN

One of the favourite bands of RNR666’s official pin-up girl, the Magic Cats Rockabilly Trio chose a familiar sounding name for its song. We’d be more surprised if the song got titled Satisfaction but this choice raises some questions, too.

RNR666: You know the Rolling Stones song of the same title?
Magic Cats: Yes, I know, it’s dope! I used to listen to as well!
RNR666: Were you influenced by this song?
Magic Cats: With this song, no. But the music of the Rolling Stones inspires us, the style we play, rockabilly and garage-rockabilly, borrows a lot from their hard riffs and their pulsating rhythm.

The Legendary Tigerman is Paulo Furtado from Portugal. He is following the tradition of Mississippi Delta Blues where the blues-men performed playing and singing alone. He mix the blues with rockabilly and rock and roll rhythms.

True album on Metropolitana Records and Sony Music France

His best album is Femina (2009) where every song is a duet with a woman. For example Maria de Medeiros, Peaches, Becky Lee, Asia Argento, Rita Redshoes

Jeans are Jasmyn, the singer of Canadian alternative pop band Weaves, and Tim from her previous indie garage rock band Rat Tail. Their music is distorted, dubbed old stlye pop music, like a sunny Dirty Beaches.
