better late than never, on the last day here's the best records
we got across in this diffiult year twothousandandeight ...BTW our
new home is
at
www.quadorb.net
so visit there if you care what we're up to,
aight! |
COLOUR HAZE - all
(elektrohasch)
there's little if any doubt at all that Colour Haze is the
present pinnacle of live heavy psychedelia, actually there's hardly any band
that comes close to their live performance, so to really experience them you got
to witness them live, and they do play lots of shows so don't miss 'em, well
they even do ceremonies in ancient temples, ruins and dunes... in the meantime
get this record and prepare yourselves.
LOS EXPLOSIVOS - los explosivos
(slovenly records)
so you like it dirty, what about a crusty platter of rancid and
well aged mexican cucarachas, freshly plucked from behind the fridge? and while you're at
it wash them down with some lukewarm tequila pinche pendejo.
ROCK N ROLL ADVENTURE KIDS -
boobies RnR
(bachelor records)
they came, saw and won the whole village over, as happened at
this year's PRICKLYpeaBOWLS event, when they appeared seemingly out of nowhere
driving up a dirty mountain road on the west coast of Sardinia. Billy and Marcos
the two Rock N Roll Adventure Kids from Berkeley, California ...two brothers
travelling the world to bring love, good times and severely infectious rock n
roll

2007/12/24
it has been a busy year and we kinda deserted you here, that's cuz we favoured physical contact over virtual reality, less internet more cabernet if you wanna put it that way, but we are getting ready for 2008 with a couple of freaked out events. More news about that very soon, here's what soothed our ears the finest in 2007
|
BLACK LIPS - good bad not evil
(vice records)
...duh
BABY WOODROSE - chasing rainbows
(bad afro)
something is rotten in Denmark, as that lad said, though it doesn't seem to be Lorenzo Woodrose ...at least not yet, as he pushes his latest effort to the man
GOWN - economic amplifier
(at shows)
real good stuff cooked up by Thomas Snively who much like his cousin Gram Parsons puts his heart into this array of songs, lots of diversity here. After having worked with people like Trans Am, Oldham and Dead Meadow in previous years he got together with a couple of friends on this one and in a couple of days he put to tape what he had in mind, if he pops up somewhere near you make sure to check him live, he is a great guitarist and performer be it solo as a duo or with a band this man has got it.
AUDACITY - nine songs live at Sean's house
(dunno)
you will be hearing more of these Californian teenagers out a city called Fullerton somewhere south of LA, as Black Time's Lemmy Caution puts it "We played with some really awesome bands in the states but I'm not shitting
you when I say that Audacity were the best - fucking blew us all away. They
had the surprise factor of us not having heard them before, plus they all
look about 12 years old. Put on a great show complete with the singer doing
a couple of back flips off the stage. There's lots of clues in the sound but
all executed in a unique way - Black Lips-style gang chants, Germs-style
teenage snot, Hunches-style noisy melody, Country Teasers retardiness.. spoke to them afterwards but they couldn't
stick around to see us 'cos they had homework to do!! I had one of their
songs "Teenage Town" stuck in my head for the rest of the tour even though
I only heard it once.."
