Free State of Mind
Vrystaete is a record label founded to release free spirited music, more or less related to psychedelic, folklore and lo-fi sounds. Sub-label of electronic music publisher Enfant Terrible Records in Netherlands. New albums
Brunnen is a Dutch minimal psych folk project of Freek Kinkelaar from the very experimental pop band Beequeen. It’s sounding a bit like a lo-fi Legendary Pink Dots. He is a modern day acid troubadour telling small stories accompanied by minimal instrumentation
„I have been active in the experimental music scene since 1984, when I first started recording my battered homemade electric guitar, plugged in my 1940s tube radio system, which had been a precious gift from my grandparents. The resulting tapes featured a lot of abstract and loud noise, which I loved but the neighbours hated. (…) In the winter of 1988 long time friend Edward Kaspel of The Legendary Pink Dots asked me to fill in as support act for a live Pink Dots performance in January 1989. Since I didn’t have a clue what to do, I contacted Frans de Waard (whom I had met a few years previously) and together we formed Beequeen. This collaboration was initially based upon our mutual admiration of the ideas of German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys.”

Two German experimental projects in one: Baldruin + Brannten Schnüre = Diamantaner Oberhof. Subtle electronic sounds are mixed with snippets of accordion melodies, even though this is contemporary folk music it sounds very pure and authentic, like obscure lo-fi field recordings, bringing to mind some of the better Fonal recordings from the past (think Kemialliset Ystävät, Paavoharju and Islaja) or a more folklore minded Kaa Antilope, this is a sort of new primitivism and nothing less as in between archaic-electronic-ambient-folk-Dada-pop music

SKIP JENSEN GROUP (Can)
We want to organize SKIP JENSEN for 10 years, since from the established of RNR666. And the dream comes true now. Born as Serge Gendron and comes from Montreal, Canada. The city was one of the most important places of underground rock’n’roll in the first decade of the XXI. century. King Khan also comes from this scene. Its special vigorous sound is represented by the album Symphatetic Sounds of Montreal. Two bands of Skip Jensen appeared on it, Scat Rag Boosters and The Stack O’Leas. After the break-ups he continued his music career as a classic one-man-band under the name of Skip Jensen & His Shakin Feet, meanwhile he was the drummer of Demon’s Claw for 2,5 years. Later his one-mand-band became a duo with Seb Normal (The Feeling of Love, Normals, Delacave etc.) from France. Finally it has became a trio. They have made an album, a single and a video last year:
The style is self-described as Supersonic Rock’n’Roll. It’s spiced with blues and other American folk elements. For the fans of Oblivians, Bassholes, Mojomatics. Skip Jensen also a fine graphic artist
Kill Bono Club
Bad luck lurks in the footsteps of Bono Vox. At first the tail-gate of his private plane detached over Germany, then, almost right after this, he had a serious bicycle accident in New York. Were these really accidents? Our reporter who investigated the case had to face some gruesome facts.
THE KILL BONO CLUB
is a worldwide network, its roots go back to the early 90s to San Francisco.
Experimental rock band Negativland released an EP in 1991, which was titled U2, with two cover versions of U2’s song “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
The effect didn’t fail to come. The Irish band’s record company and management sued them and their record label, SST, instantly. The charges: violation of trademark law and copyright, and fraud, because millions of confused U2 fans would buy the EP (which was released in 6951 copies) believing it to be the new record from their favourite band, making million-dollar profit for the swindlers. Furthermore this EP damaged U2’s so expensively formed image, and mocked at the covered song: Tovább / Read more »

A Dream Comes True
French Canadian garage rock and roll blues punk musician Skip Jensen arrives in Budapest at RNR666 Party on 29 January.
Founder of garage rock blues punk band Scat Rag Boosters (which was like the Oblivians and the Gories) and played drums with the Demon’s Claw, but he had a bunch of songs the he’d written that just didn’t seem to fit in anywhere, so he created a solo project. In the beginning it was a one man band, then duo with Seb Normal (Feeling of Love) and finally a trio.

She has begun her singing career as a folk music performer in coffeehouses in 1964. Her first hit was “As Tears Go By” was written by Jagger, Richards. It was among their first original compositions. As Jagger’s girlfriend in these years she made big impression on the Stones. For example she is co-author of Sister Morphine. First it was recorded by herself with Jagger, Ry Cooder, Jack Nitschze and Charlie Watts, and was released as B-side of her single in 1969.
„Things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmares into dreams
Oh, can’t you see I’m fading fast?
And that this shot will be my last
Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head”
The Stones’ version was released in 1971, but by this time she broke with Jagger, and became a drug addict homeless…
