of my regular rants, but the 21st Century really does suffer from a dearth of
good, original R’n’B (no, not Rhianna, rhythm and blues you fools). I mean, the
trad rockabilly circuit has got the classic rock n roll sounds covered, but
where’s a boy supposed to go when he’s finished with Ray Charles and wants
something with a bit more teeth?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Step in London’s King Salami and The Cumberland Three. Playing a potent
blend of sausage-influenced gonzo rhythm and blues, fronted by the eponymous
maraca brandishing King Salami, part manic Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, part
Symarip-style gang leader, this is just the tonic for a world that’s forgotten
how to dance.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

suppose perhaps the extra-special ingredient in the King’s secret recipe,
beyond the mans own charisma, is a big dash of punk energy from ex-members of
The Parkinson’s, amongst others. Yeah, I didn’t see that one coming either.
It’s not a direct musical link, but you can see some of that vibe soaking
through in these two and a half minute blasts.</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

throwback, and yeah there is the odd knowing wink to the High School Dance et
al, but really, good rhythm is timeless. Thoroughly recommended for anyone that
likes to move their hips, click their fingers and swing, as well as just going
a bit mental.<br /><br /></span></div>

Chicos are my favourite Spanish band.”</span></b><span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<br />
Los Chicos is a five-man rock’n’roll machine constructed from the best parts of
all the best components of 20th century rock’n’roll and rythm’n’blues. They put
the ingredients into the mix...and then kick the livin’ shite out of it! It's a
sound that, on stage, explodes into a powerful and exhuberant rock'n'roll
party.<br />
<br />
Featuring a line up that makes the Cramps’ audience at Napa State look normal –
a fast talking highclimbing frontman, a shaven-headed evil Doctor Pineapple, a
bubble-permed bassist, and last but not least the only real twin guitar team
treading the boards today, Spain’s best band gather new fans everywhere they
go. It's your turn next!<br />
<br />
For this, their fifth album, recorded in the summer heat of Madrid in four days
and mixed in another three by Mike Mariconda, Los Chicos have collaborated with
well-respected Spanish artistes such as Josele Santiago from Los Enemigos and
Hendrik Röver from Los Deltonos.<br />
<br />
There cannot be a more direct, more raw, less artificial recording available
today. In the Spain of today this is the only way to deal with the problems,
primarily economic, affecting Spanish society and the band members in
particular: beer, good parties and much laughter. And this comes out in the
recording, along with a dash of anger. And, in part thanks to the current
climate, this may be the most powerful sound they’ve ever achieved.<br />

The standout songs? It’s hard to say. “Leave Me Be” sounds like a thesis on theatrical heartbreak, but it’s matched by the band’s strident cover of Joe Neal’s “Don’t Quit Me Baby.” Just when you’re caught in the mistaken notion that the album is all mid-tempo malaise and heartache, along comes “Bump D’Bump” to pick things up. And, of course, perennial favourite “Cinnamon” gets a look-in, and it’s never sounded better.</b></span></span></div>

Off The Hip Records & Black Diamond Productions are proud to present an advance screening of Thee Crusaders documentary "The Kids Are All Wrong", Friday 26th April @ Luwow, free entry from 7:45pm, with screening 8pm sharp. Touted as Australia's wildest garage-punk outfit, this made-for-TV documentary contains footage from their 22 year career, including video from their first gig, thru to their better known 'masked', or purple, period. Tour footage from Spain and America interspersed with candid behind-the-scenes moments; see Sir Kendall work his hair (on and off the stage), wonder at Sir Chris's never quite intune guitar, gape at Sir Mickster's preference for the "spew-posie" and you'll run out of fingers counting the number of stubbies that smash into Sir James's head armour. "The Kids Are All Wrong" will be released late 2013 as part of Thee Crusaders 3xCD, 1xDVD boxset on Off The Hip Records. This advanced screening is just for you, but don't keep this secret all to yourself.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.messandnoise.com/news/4577725" target="_blank">Read about in on Mess and Noise here</a>Jerk Pityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03912621633910967160noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606712614297594676.post-40456158934177372752013-04-12T19:09:00.000-07:002013-04-26T19:11:25.336-07:00ROCKET TO MEMPHIS "Do The Crawl" CD OTH-7125 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Rocket To Memphis' 4th CD "Do The Crawl" invites you to join the band on a hip-dislocating adventure through a fresh batch of infectious tunes and wild sounds! It was cut at Yo-Yo studio in Perth but once again the band worked with Heavy Trash guru Matt Verta-Ray, who mixed the album in New York, in hurricane conditions!<br />
<br />
From the irresistible "GoGo" - a 60s-style rock n roll stomper which opens the album, Betty Bombshell and her incendiary compadres drag you through rockabilly ("Turn It On"), Diddley-esque swamp ("Swamp Guy"), the sexy "In Black and White" and finish up with "Rockin' All Night" - which y'all WILL be if you follow this simple 11 step programme!<br />
<br />
Forget the Watusi, the Twist and the Squirm... this here's the CRAWL - and you gotta learn!<br />

Listen up vinyl junkies... here's a wild 45 that you'll be racing to get on the turntable!<br />
<br />
The A-side "Go Go" is the dance-floor stomper that opens Rocket's brand new album - it's a gritty, 3 minute anthem for a dolled-up, hip-shakin' night on the town. The flip is a smouldering version of "You're The Boss" that'll get you up to all sorts of things on the<br />
dance-floor later in the night!<br />
<br />
Mixed by Matt Verta-Ray and wrapped in a killer Lluis Fuzzhound sleeve, this limited edition, neon-blue platter is a double-headed winner!Jerk Pityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03912621633910967160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606712614297594676.post-44760884887630408772013-04-12T18:44:00.000-07:002013-04-26T19:11:01.826-07:00GREEN CIRCLES "MR. COCKING'S DESCENT" CD OTH 7124<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
In a daring public exhibition in 1837, Mr Robert Cocking released his parachute and promptly launched himself into eternity. In 2013 the Green Circles launch their 4th album Mr Cocking's descent.<br />
With this new release, the Green Circles invite you to climb into their basket and soar into the psych/garage/jangled sky.<br />
<br />
These four dashing aerialists showcase their daring with guitars that have six and twelve strings, bass guitars with four, wailing organs, drums, a tambourine, a saxophone, and various sets of vocals cords. It's taken more than 80 days to launch, but they have landed eleven new tracks – nine originals and a couple of covers originally performed by band faves the Screaming Believers and the Ninth Wave.<br />
<br />
From the riff and harmony laden I can't see the day and I'll give you thanks to the tough, overdriven Time comes and Semaphore Girl, the dreamy Love tinged Flown and the deep psych groove of Watermelon sugar blues, this Green Circles collection shows how far they have travelled since they first took off in Adelaide.<br />
<br />
Previous releases Tavistock Street, Brass knobs, bevelled edges (and in 23 different positions) and Get on the outside of this have received rave reviews from all over the globe and Mr Cocking's descent is destined to go down in history as their hottest set yet!<br />
<br />
The Green Circles have more hooks than a piranha's mouth. Phil Suggitt, Shindig<br />
Simply smoking. Mike Bennett, Fufkin<br />

<br />
"I'll Be A Dog" is the brand new album by Melbourne's wildest garage band Midnight Woolf. Packed with 14 of the craziest, fuzziest and furriest tracks this winter. Recorded by Raul Sanchez over 12 months on 8 track tape, it captures Midnight Woolf at their sexiest "Take it off", dirtiest "Natural Man" and heart-thumping danciest "It's Love".<br />
<br />
With hand-drawn artwork by Lluis Fuzzhound and out on Off The Hip Records, the album is bound to set the cats a-running and the dogs a-chasing. So round up the chickens and tie down the hen-house, the Woolf are back on the prowl.<br />

<br />
<br />
In 2006, one Japanese, one French, one Caribbean and one Spanish got together to form a black rhythm & blues party band!<br />
<br />
London's newest R&B-punk sensation – okay, maybe our only R&B-punk outfit – are making fun times where ever they go. With a repertoire encompassing many of the greats of the '50s and '60s you won't be able to help but move your feet. The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail and with Andre Williams trying to offer up some of his bacon fat. This man never stops shakin' and twistin' and groovin' while the Cumberland 3 (former members of the Ulcers, Chinese Lungs and Parkinsons) play their own branded mix of vintage rockabilly desperate rock'n'roll and a bit of soul with fire, energy, gusto and fun!<br />
<br />
They have played all over Europe, and more recently Japan & China, sharing the stage with the Pretty Things, the Trashmen, the Standells, the Mummies, the Bellrays, the Cynics, etc...and have released a bunch of killer 45's on different European record labels.<br />
<br />
This CD release collects a bunch of their 7" tracks plus rarities and compilation tracks.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The Singles are a band I have always rated as highly likely to make it big. I find them one of the most charming pop groups around. The songs are inhabited by characters from broken homes, children whose fathers have died, boyfriends whose girlfriends have left them lonely and despairing. They tread the same general trail forged so admirably by the Buzzcocks and the Undertones, and though they have not scaled those dizzy heights of popdom there is every suggestion their best moments are still ahead of them. - Roadrunner, 1981.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So wrote the ex-Riptides guitarist and music journalist Scott Matheson in the music magazine Roadrunnerin early 1981. But like with The Saints, The Triffids, The Go-betweens and The Boys Next Door, the wider Australian music scene was not receptive, even hostile, to bands whose music didn’t fit the commercial music industry mould that existed at the time. Many lesser bands went on to enjoy commercial success in Australia with vastly inferior songs. Many bands decamped and went to Europe. The Singles battled it out in Sydney striving for recognition and success.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Singles started playing the Sydney inner city scene in the early 1980s in venues such as the Civic, Rock Garden, Chequers, Frenchs, the Paddington Green and the Heritage Hotel. Their sound was post punk art pop reminiscent of the Buzzcocks. The songs are simple, melodic, catchy and straight to the point pop. Songs such as ‘Love of Loves’, ‘Stay’, ‘Perfect Girl’, ‘Sad Clown’ made instant connections to the young inner city Sydney audience who just missed mid 1970’s punk scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In early 1980 the Singles release their first ep Love of Loves on Double Think Records. This ep immediately sold out. Later in 1980 the Singles released Someone that I knew on Basilisk Records and this further cemented their sound and their audience. Someone that I knew started getting solid airplay on the ABC’s Sydney music station DoubleJay (2JJ). The Singles started to fill inner-city venues and booking agencies tried them in the large suburban beer barns where their post punk pop sound didn’t go down with suburban audiences who wanted the Radiators, ‘Chisel’ and the Angels and definitely not charming pop.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Undeterred The Singles continued to play the inner city while venturing out into the suburbs supporting the likes of Sunnyboys and InXS. They released the limited edition cassette singlesSomething’s’ Not Right in 1981 and The Party in 1982. Their final single The Day was featured on the compilation Shake and Shout released by Survival Records in 1984</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a time when Sydney’s rundown inner-city saw an explosion of creativity from a new generation of youth who inhabited the squats and cheap rent terraces of Darlinghurst, Chippendale and Newtown, This generation referenced a blend of mid 1970’s nihilist British punk and the blistering attitude on 1960’s American and Australian garage pop. It was a time when in both Sydney and Melbourne young musicians and artists were breaking the shackles held over the Australian music scene by commercial radio and record companies that controlled Australian music through the 1970s.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While the Singles received critical acclaim in the music press, enjoyed solid air play on 2JJ and a held a loyal and enthusiastic inner city following, wider commercial success eluded them. In mid 1983 they played their last show at the Sydney Graphic Arts Club in Chippendale just a few blocks away from the terrace where they formed four years earlier. Use it for yourself is an anthology of The Singles songs from their EP, single, cassette and compilation releases from 1980 – 1984.</div>

<br />
<br />
Off The Hip is proud to present The Zoobombs 'The Ultimate Collection'! For those of you who aren’t familiar, Zoobombs formed in Tokyo in 1994, toured with The Flaming Lips and Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and were dubbed “Heroes of the Japanese Next Wave”, they have been playing their unique brand of bombastic and explosive garage party psych rock for over 15 years and have gathered a cult audience all over the world.<br />
<br />
“The supersonic Tokyo band somehow morphed from Stonesy punk-rock maniacs to freaky jazz-rock jammers without missing a beat, or losing a tad of their record-breaking inte<br />
nsity. Band leader Don Matsuo repeatedly risked everything, pushing the audience to the brink with endless jams before dissolving into a gloriously noisy release.” - Toronto Sun. T<br />
his Off The Hip release includes twelve of Zoobombs greatest hits, including the infectious party groove of 'Mo Funky' and the explosive energy of 'South Central Rock'. Soon to be touring with Melbourne garage ratbags Mesa Cosa, this CD is a special edition Australian release that will have you jumping up and down in your bed with unashamed abandon. Don't miss Zoobombs on their August Australia tour and pick up this exclusive Off The Hip release in store now!<br />

Recorded in their dingy Brunswick living room by <b style="line-height: 17px;">Nao Anzai </b>(Rat vs. Possum/Nunchukka Superfly) and packaged in a lush sleeve designed by <b style="line-height: 17px;">CM Ruiz </b>(Dead Ghosts, Davila 666, Tacocat). <b style="line-height: 17px;">The Infernal Cakewalk EP </b>captures Mesa Cosa’s “the Stooges walk into a Tequila bar” live attitude in a “hey, we put out a record!” kind of way.</div>
<div style="color: #1a1a18; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: black; line-height: 17px;">With three additional tracks plus re-mastering by Mikey Young this is the definitive version of one of this years most raucous standout releases. 'A formidable debut' said Beat magazine.<b> </b></span>The Infernal Cakewalk EP offers ten of Mesa Cosa’s enigmatic fist-pumping garage songs from their huge ouvre. Featuring the sing-a-long garage anthem<b style="line-height: 17px;">Shoplifter</b>, noise punk orgy <b style="line-height: 17px;">Los Perros </b>(The Dogs) and the 6(66) minute opus of fuzz, demonic chants and free saxophone bedlam boogie <b style="line-height: 17px;">Diablo</b>.</div>
<div style="color: #1a1a18; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-align: center;">
<b style="line-height: 17px;">Mesa Cosa </b>are a six piece from everywhere between Mexico City and Melbourne, Australia, that play an aggressive blend of noisy punk, garage rock and Mexican folk tunes. <span style="color: #232323; line-height: 17px;">Led by a diminutive chilango from Mexico City, singing in both Spanish and English, Mesa Cosa mix their un-dying love of Mexican celebrations and dark symbols with their un-ashamed love for garage music and experimental noise.</span>Mesa Cosa (only) play fun, energetic shows filled with dancing, mayhem, things breaking, people fall- ing down, glasses smashing, amps failing and tambourine sacrifices to the party gods.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<div style="color: #232323; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
Having the honor of playing with some of Melbournes most amazing bands in Melbournes most ritualized venues. Mesa Cosa have earned a cult following second only to Allah and the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Soon to be playing with some of the best bands the US and Japan have to offer, this is a band to watch and this is a record to quickly add to your collection.</div>
