Unfortunately it is very rare that bands from my fav Canadian label Telephone Explosion Records play in BUDAPEST. So rare that this is the first case. But maybe the most bizarre among the label’s bands the NEW FRIES are going to play at AURORA on 19 May.

No Wave made the biggest influence on them but I think the best if I use their own words about their music:

• – We don’t have etiquette or technique or anything. I’ve tried my best to destroy technique in this band. We’re very deconstructed, very incomplete.
• – It’s a bag of garbage. Fun garbage. Tumultuous, terrible garbage.
• – Yeah, there are more than enough people doing this shit well!
• – It’s a non-stop shot in the dark. Like, for sure we want a heavy rhythm section. We want really sexy drums and sexy bass and a chaos for sure, but we definitely want people to dance.

You can do it in BUDAPEST at AURORA on 19 MAY

and we’re all happily aboard to go down with it.”

Soon here is the new ODONIS ODONIS album

Allegedly NO POP is more serene than its predecessors.

But what we wrote about them during the years:

Hollandazde LP 2011: “Allegedly the styles return 20 years after. So – if you didn’t recognize it – the 90s are came back. By the way, we continuously repeat ourselves from the creation. Just our instruments are altered. ”

Better EP 2013: „Industrial surf gaze experimental cold wave disco “punk or whatever i feel. Another fantastic Canadian band.”

Hard Boiled Soft Boiled album 2014: „The chaos keeps growing. Er industrial grunge experimental cold gaze “punk or whatever i feel.”

Post Plague album 2016: „Canadian chaos brigade Odonis Odonis has come back with his psychedelic electro industrial post punk music.”

On the new album they stripping down instrumentation to a handful of synths and an electronic drum kit. The music is a dancefloor friendly blend of hard-hitting industrial, techno, and noise

NO POP out on 22 Oct on Telephone Explosion (Can) and Felte Records (US)

Concert with FRONT 242 on 1 OCT in TORONTO

If you are confused, and nothing comes to your mind, but don’t want to list similar bands, just write dumbfounding and cockeyed, or food maniac no wave collage, but never: avant-garde. I think it’s sounding cool.

NEW FRIES is a quartet from Toronto, Canada

„MORE” 10″ EP on TELEPHONE EXPLOSION RECORDS (CAN). Listen to it!

Slim Twig is a Canadian film director who also makes music (like David Lynch, or John Carpenter ). It’s meaningful for his pop musical orientation that he made some split releases with US Girls, Dirty Beaches and Ela Orleans.
His latest album will be re-issued soon by DFA. „A Hound At The Hem” is a concept album, thematically and musically it based on Serge Gainsbourg’s Melody Nelson. Significant disparity that the story of Melody Nelson was the reality of the two main characters’ life. That is so good owing to this specially reason. And because of Gainsbourg’s genius, of course. So good…it’s gem in his amazing life-work. Naturally „A Hound At The Hem” is far from it, but perhaps non-irrespective of it, this is the best work of Slim Twig.
