French synth-punk band CHEVEU and GROUP DOUEH from Western Sahara spent two weeks together in the city of Dakhla in 2016, and they wrote and recorded an album together.

Western-Sahara is the home of Sahrawi people. They are speaking a variant of Maghrebi Arabic, and have Berber, Bedouin and Black African ethnic backgrounds.

Their basic instruments are percussions and traditional stringed instruments which ones often replaced by electric guitar nowadays. The region was under Spanish rule until 1975, then Morocco and Mauritania divided up, but there is a movement of independence, called Polisario, which established his state in the inner Western Sahara.

On the one hand – The leader of Group Doueh was born in Dakhla in 1966, at that time it was a village. Of course he made his first guitar himself with metal can and fishing wire – as the legend says. His heroes are Jimi Hendrix, James Brown and Mark Knopfler, and also influenced by Moroccan chaabi and psychedelic music, e.g. Nass El Ghiwane, which was established as an avant-garde political theatre in 1971.

„When I take the instrument, I leave elsewhere. I am absent. Music is my life. I inherited from my father who played percussion from house to house. I can approach any kind of styles, but I track down traditional music, the source.”

On the other hand – French trio Cheveu is not really punk in fact, rather outsider, in out of control zone, somewhere between the crazy psychedelic rock of the 60s and the no wave, industrial and electronic music of the late 70s.

At first files were exchanged, then Cheveu went to Dakhla to play, write and record songs together for two weeks. It was hard to bring together these distant universes.

The music of Doueh is often very ornamented improvisation. „The trigger thing was to fix one of their themes in punk rock mode. It freed us. They made a lot of improvisations, variations, and whenever you thought you had picked up, they left elsewhere…” „At this stage we played a few selected pieces of our repertoire to show what we are going to see (…) in response they suddenly started „Acid Waltz”, a theme brought by us, but they little by little made twists on it.

And finally there was a common live show at a venue. „At first Group Doueh goes to the stage, later Cheveu joins them. And everyone begins to find his place in a repertoire that they have refined for ten days. David takes the microphone. Some women dance. There is even a Parisian who made the trip after he saw the announcement of the event on Facebook. All of a sudden, Hicham turns to me: „Alan Vega in the sand! ”

In the UK there were solemn acts owing to the 40th anniversary of the release of debut single of Sex Pistols’ Anarchy In The UK. And it is told that 26th day of November in 1976 is the birthday of Punk.

I heard about two things only.

1 for the why: Luton made this November memorable forever with UK Subs and Vibrators concerts.

2 for the pose: son of Malcolm McLaren and Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Vivian Westwood burnt punk reliques supposedly in the worth of 5 million GBP together with his mum on that birthday on Thames in London.

But 3 to get ready for THE MOONLANDINGZ

Persons taken from the Fat White Family & The Eccentronic Research Council

Debut album Interplanetary Class Classics coming soon on Transgressive Records (UK) and Chimera Music (US)

Anyway the B-Side of Anarchy was „I Wanna Be Me”, so „This is brainwash and this is a clue / To the stars who fooling you.”

another strange aussie punk band

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE JANE FONDA AEROBIC VHS?

Best Finnish indie pop synth punk from Kouvala. This song is a little bit long, and not so perfect, but there is something very important

from split EP with The Shangri Blahs on Blast Of Silence Records in early November

They live in a special place, because Kouvala has been founded just in 1.1.2009, when 5 cities merged into one. It is famous for its Soviet-like Brutalist architecture, and Verla factory, which was a mill community, and belongs to UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

More some live shots. And more

Trouble Vs Glue is an Italian duo from Rome where usually Toni plays on drums, and Lady Maru trifles with keys and sometimes strings.

They said „sound like the Residents with a punk drummer, in others like a weird Japanese electronic pop band from the ’80s, while some other tracks bring us back to the no-wave of Lizzy Mercier Descloux and DNA.” I tell: Trouble Vs Glue is such as the electro-clash duo Stereo Total in experimental mood.

A song from the third album featuring David Lemoine from French electro punk band Cheveu

This Age will be released this June on No=Fi Recordings (I)

You can find a pretty different musical background behind the members. Toni has a noise rock band Hiroshima Rocks Around, and his solo project Mai Mai Mai is an experiment based on Italian Occult Psychedelia, which is rooted in Italian horror movies, giallo films, spaghetti westerns and local folklore. His debut album was mixed by Jamie Stewart, aka Xiu Xiu.

Lady Maru is a techno and deep house musician and DJ. Very interesting her collaborative no wave nu disco project with Cascao (who also is a contributor on the new album of T Vs G). They have a deep house cover of Death Valley 69, a masterpiece of Sonic Youth and Lydia Lunch. Find it!

Synth punk Primitive Calculators have started in 1978 in same place and same time than the Birthday Party. After a single they relocated to London, in same time than the Birthday Party, and promptly broke up in 1980. But there was a post-split-up single under the name of  Zye Ye Ye in England in 1981. The first album was released in 1980. And there was a film Dogs in Space in 1986, in it they play Pumping Ugly Muscle. Also a single was released. Then they have reformed in 2009 at the request of Nick Cave for the first All Tommorrow’s Pary in Australia. Second album The World Is Fucked was released in 2013. And now here is a new single by Emotional Response (US, Flagstaff, Arizona).

like Tit Wrench or a punk Ministry or Screamers

The band intends to record a psychedelic-space-folk album about taking hallucinogenic drugs.

Also from Emotinal Respone LA punk Shark Toys / Florida indie punk UV-TV split 7″

Emotional Response was formed from 555 and Red Square Records after two owners married.

BRONZE. Crazy and twisted Neue Kraut Welle from San Fransisco. Sometimes like a lo-fi Jean-Michel Jarre. They were released by synt-pop label Not Not Fun, electro underground Enfant Terrible, and avantgarde RVNG Intl. A live album will be released this month by John Dwyer’s garage rock/punk label Castle Face Records (US)

Dwyers (Thee Oh Sees) said about them: Always drunk with mad skills. With dashes of John Carpenter, Silver Apples, Liquid Liquid, Birthday Party, Harold Grosskopf, Klaus Schultze, Cluster, and Brian Ferry with a field recorder taped to his tux jacket. Ultra bottom heavy dance beats a la Brian Hock. Super hand-wringing oscillations home brewed by Miles Friction and the ever-great Robert Spector delivering homilies from beyond the dimensional wall.
