Brat Farrar – S/T - CD OTH 7112
Debut solo long-player from Sam Agostino (Digger and The Pussycats, Russian Roulettes, Kamikaze Trio) playing under the pseudonym Brat Farrar.
Moving from Wipers inspired punk through to noisy grunge and industrial influenced punk at the core of the record is Agostino's trademark songwriting and guitar stylings.
All tracks written, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Brat Farrar.
Follow up to the 45 "It's On Me" out thru P Trash.
Vinyl version of the album released on Every Night Is Like A Saturday Night (Australia) and P Trash (Europe). Cassette version available on Popular Favourites (Australia)
Russian Roulettes – Physical Education - CD OTH 7109
Melbourne garage super-group Russian Roulettes second record.
Recorded in the bands rehearsal space by Sam, mixed by Matt Voight and mastered at Masterdisk in New York.
A more diverse offering than the bands debut release as well as their trademark fast paced rock n roll this record features 60s styled psych rock, introspective slower tempo tunes and even a song sung by the drummer!!! (just like Ringo)
LA BASTARD - "THE FABULOUS SOUNDS OF" - CD OTH 7113
Conceived in late 2010 and finally born at the start of 2011, La Bastard is an exciting new Melbourne band that captures all the joy and heartbreak of the 1950s and 1960s greats such as Lee Hazelwood, Roy Orbison, Wanda Jackson and Ennio Morricone, and tops it off with the attitude and energy of more their contemporary heroes including the Gun Club, Man... Or Astro Man? and the Jesus Lizard.
A four piece fronted by outspoken vocalist Anna (formerly of the Melbourne band Kimbo), La Bastard have built a reputation for an explosive and interactive live show that at its best has included playing ON the bar, pillow fights and break dancing, And PLENTY of audience participation. The music, too, speaks for itself – clearly exhibiting the band's love and knowledge of classic rockabilly, soul, country and surf music, as well as their obvious substantial talents as musicians and songwriters.
La Bastard's self-titled debut album features 10 songs designed to immerse you in tales of both pleasure and pain, recounting lost loves and misadventures as well as the sweet revenge exacted by the scorned. With the majority of the album recorded live in a single session at Secret Location, Fairfield by Paul Maybury and Jesse Booher, La Bastard have captured the wild and spontaneous energy of their live shows – but have still managed to produce 10 tracks which each retain their own unique style, identity and story.
A great listen when you need cheering up or want something to shake your money maker to. Breaking up never felt like so much fun!
THE MOONSTONES - "FUZZ, FARFISA Y FIESTA" CD OTH 7107
Considered to be one of the most promising bands of the Spanish Garage scene at the moment, THE MOONSTONES now issue their very first and long-awaited LP on SOUNDFLAT RECORDS (Germany) and the CD version on OFF THE HIP RECORDS.
THE MOONSTONES are influenced by bands such as THE MIRACLE WORKERS, THE CHESTERFIELD KINGS or THE SONICS and produce correspondingly superb music. The title of their debut album FUZZ, FARFISA Y FIESTA already says what they are all about: Rocking music filled with a lot of Fuzz guitar, 60's farfisa organ and a crazy party attitude; all of which is set in Spain. This album is Garage Rock at its best; brilliant melodies, groovy hammondsounds, wild and fuzzy guitars, a strong, mainly
Spanish singing Punkrock voice, a bit of harmonica, danceable rhythms and a cool Beat all add up to a wild and fabulous Garage-album with a touch of Spanish ambience.
FUZZ, FARFISA Y FIESTA consists of 14 ingenious songs performed by this quintet from Madrid and except for one cover of THEE MILKSHAKES' song "I'll use evil", which is sung in Spanish, they are also written by THE MOONSTONES themselves.
Recorded in the famous Circo Perrotti Studios this LP provides us with an authentic mixture of Garage, Punk and R&B and is consequently just perfect for everyGaragepunk, 60's freak and anyone, who loves good music.
