Synth wave, elektro pop, acid tracks on Dutch label

ENFANT TERRIBLE RECORDS

TWINS (US, Atlanta, Georgia) is Matt Weiner who is also known for his Featureless Ghost project and of course as the head of the DKA Records label… it’s a classic minimal elektro record but at the same time a rather modern piece of electronic music…RATHER NOT 12″ MINI LP

Zarkoff together with Ikonal from Croatia… these three tracks are from one of the infamous synth jams Zarkoff is organizing in an empty factory near Sisak in Croatia… the acid tracks featured on this EP have a throbbing beat with a clear hint to EBM… and the acid lines are both psychedelic and dark… TOXICOLOGY 12″EP

Antlers Mulm from Leipzig, Germany… recommended to fans of New Order but also of Solitude FX… melancholy, dreamy and catchy… GIVE AND TAKE 7″

HOW TO GET IDEAS it is a new EP by avant-rockers of QUI. The band has been formed in LA in 2000 as a duo, but after some guest appereances David Yow decided to join them as a singer in 2006. This period lasted until 2013, when Yow left the band because of his reunions with his bands Jesus Lizard and Scratch Acid, and his solo album, and his exhibitions, so finally there no left enough time for Qui, so he has become a part-time collaborator. But not on this EP. Now you must settle for Dale Crover of Melvins on vocals and percussion. Anyway he is the co-producder of the EP which is out now on Dutch label Geertruida. Distributed in US by Orgmusic

Someone said about THE BOLOS‘ music „Son House gone psych backed by The Gun Club.” Maybe, I don’t know. But it is sure that Black Lips, Paint Fumes, Mark Sultan, King Khan shared the stage with them. And when I have heard the first Bolos’ song today, I asked myself „hey, what the hell is this fucking good song”, and turned up the volume

Anyway they are coming from San Antonio, Texas. And the 7″ single is out now on French label Six Tonnes De Chair Records.

TIT WRENCH has been founded as an electro-industrial-hardcore-punk band in the early 90s in Chula Vista, California. It was the best for me. I loved it. Then electro noise gradually put hardcore-punk out from the music, and finally there was just noise. I did not understand why they did this. Their last album released in 1997, after they went to a long hiatus. But recently they have reformed, new album is on the way. It will be the best for me. I will love it again.

Because of a rape the Angels became a target of prosecution, he escaped from Switzerland. He lived in Lebanon, where he worked as a hashish farmer. But finally he went to Bolivia, and died there in a small village Tutilimundi, it means All Worlds.

On their albums there are some covers. Now you can listen to the original and the cover ones too

About the songs

Johnny B. Goode is a 1958 rock-and-roll song written and first recorded by Chuck Berry.

Little Anthony and the Imperials is an American rhythm and blues/soul/doo-wop vocal group from New York City, their first single was Tears on My Pillow in 1958.

The song It Hurts Me Too is a blues standard. First recorded in 1940 by American blues musician Tampa Red. Elmore James (1918 – 1963) who was an American influential blues musician, recorded his own versions in 1957, and in the early 60s.

David „Junior” Kimbrough (1930 – 1998) was an American juke joint blues legend. Whose first single was released in 1967, but his first album came out just in 1992 by Fat Possum Records. The song Baby Please Don’t Leave Me taken from his last album Meet Me In The City (1999). In 2005, a tribute album was released with such artists as Iggy Pop, Mark Lanegan, Jack Oblivian, Black Keys, Spiritualized or Blues Explosion. Even Daft Punk also made a 15 minutes long re-edited version of a Kimbrough’s song I Gotta Try You Girl in 2016. Reputedly he was survived by 36 children.

The Ballad of Casey Jones is a traditional song about railroad engineer Casey Jones. It tells of how Jones and his fireman Sim Webb raced their locomotive to make up for lost time, but discovered a freight train ahead of them on the line, and Casey tried to stop the machine and save the passengers. His body was found lying under the cab, with his skull crushed and right arm torn from its socket. The fireman jumped just in time to save his life. The express messenger was thrown against the side of the car, having two of his ribs broken by the blow, but his condition is not considered dangerous. The train was only two minutes behind schedule.

Soon after Casey’s death (30 April 1900), the song was first sung by engine wiper and friend of Casey to the tune of a popular song of the time known as „Jimmie Jones”. As railroaders stopped in Canton, Mississippi they would pick up the song and pass it along. American country blues guitarist Walter E. „Furry” Lewis (1893 – 1981) recorded his version in 1928. Anyway he was a street sweeper for the city of Memphis, he held this job until his retirement in 1966.

Red Foley (1910 – 1968) is one of the greatest country musicians. He was an inspiration to rock ‘n’ roll, in particular Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, who both covered many of his songs. Will the Circle Be Unbroken? is a popular Christian hymn, was written in 1907. The Red Foley version was published in 1958.

The film Desire Will Set You Free paints a picture of contemporary underground Berlin. It’s based on a true story: Ezra, an American writer of Palestinian and Israeli parentage living in Berlin, spends his days clubbing, taking drugs, having pseudo-philosophical conversations and wanting to be more punk, whilst wishing he wrote more. Most of his time is spent with his privileged dark, but witty friend Catharine, who has an unsettling fetish for Nazi paraphernalia. As the two of them look for their next excitement fix, they end up in one of Berlin’s famous gay hustler bars. Almost on a dare Ezra meets Sasha, a Russian immigrant working as an escort. Ezra pulls Sasha on a journey through Berlin’s underground and queer scenes…

Of course there is a soundtrack wich was inspired by trash music films from the 70s and 80s. There Blood Orange plays a Malaria! song, Peaches did a cover of Claire Waldoff the great lesbian cabaret singer from the 1920s, and also you can find songs by Molly Nilsson, Rollin Hunt, Anni Rossi, Nina Hagen, The Prostitutes, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge

and more. Furthermore Einstuerzende Neubauten and Blixa Bargeld appear in the movie too.

The soundtrack album will be released soon by Moniker Records (US)

Nagy öröm és megtiszteltetés számunkra, hogy a Goddamn Gallows után az amerikai hardcore country színtér egy másik kiváló képviselője JOE BUCK lesz a vendégünk szeptember 25-én Budapesten.

Joe Buck Kentucky állam egyik kisvárosában született. Még magyarországi mértékkel is kisváros, hisz csak tizenhétezren lakják. Egy farmon cseperedett fel. Elmondása szerint nem tud olyan korai emlékeket felidézni, hogy ne zenélt volna. A családban mindig szólt a zene, és mindenki zenélt. Tinédzserként elköltözött szüleitől, és ’79-től különböző nagyvárosokban punkoskodott, és – őt idézve – „zilliónyi punk bandában játszottam.”

Lakásában rendszerint üvöltött a zene, Ramones, Pistols, Clash, ilyenek. Egy nap becsengetett az egyik szomszéd, s így szólt: Amiket hallgatsz, az mind szar, tedd fel inkább ezt! Azzal átnyújtott egy Hank Williams Greatest Hits lemezt.

Na ekkor változott meg Joe Buck, azaz Jim Finklea élete TELJESEN. Innentől csak a country és az amerikai folk zene létezett számára. Ez a ’80-as évek elején történt, de a ’90-es évek közepéig nem játszott countryt, mert tudta, hogy a trükkök, fogások eltanulásához idő kell. Egyetlen zenekarának jelent meg lemeze ebből az átmeneti időből, a Gringo-nak. De ez sem punk zene volt, inkább Gun Club-szerű blues punk. Amúgy a Gringo mindkét nagylemeze igen jó kritikákat kapott akkoriban. Ezután a Legendary Shack Shakers-ben nyomult, ami egy viszonylag népszerű és elismert rock’n’roll zenekar azóta is.

Majd Hank Williams III oldalán találjuk, aki a nagy példakép és inspiráció, Hank Williams unokája, és country metal punk zenét játszik, amit ő csak Hellbillynek nevez, és tagja volt Phil Anselmo Superjoint Ritual-jának is. Joe Buck az ő Damn Band nevű kísérő zenekarában nagybőgőn, ill. Hank metál bandájában, az Assjack-ben basszusgitáron játszik.

One man bandként a kétezres évek eleje óta nyomul Joe Buck Yourself néven. Ugyan van pár CD-je, de a lemezkiadás nem nagyon izgatja, inkább a koncertekre összpontosít. Végül is állandóan úton van.

SZENT CSALÁD ORAL ORCHESTRA

BUDAPEST, TRAFIK KLUB
VIII. ker, Mikszáth tér, a Zappa Caffe alatt,
bejárat a Szentkirályi utcából!

Jegy: 1200-

És hogy ki az a Hank Williams? Ő a country legenda.
Aki hátfájását alkohol és mindenféle drogok kombinációjával kezelte.
1953 január 1-én hajnalban egy Cadillac hátsó ülésén állt meg a szíve.
Mellette üres sörös dobozok, és egy befejezetlen dalszöveg.
Koncertre tartott. 29 éves volt.

És hogy ki is valójában Joe Buck?
