Once upon a time „the Axemen began life as a seething mass of algae in a cess-pool located at the back of a disused factory somewhere in North Dunedin, New Zealand.The exact location of the cess-pool has unfortunately been lost to the ravages of time, but the factory still stands – a disused, vacant shell with little hope of being restored to its former majesty. Following a sudden meteor storm in 1983, the Axemen rapidly evolved, developed fully functional hands and ears (where before there had only been useless stumps) and metamorphosed rapidly into one of the most radical, chaotic and inspired rock bands of all time.” & so on.

They were one of the World most killingly funny bands but no one knew about it before the internet age. Beside many own released cassettes they has released three albums by the legendary Flying Nun Records. Prices of these items are extremely high nowadays. (For example the Peter Wang Pud used CD is 25-80 Euros, the vinyl are between 35-100 Euros.)

Suitable phrases for their music: radically independent do-it-yourself lo-fi garage art punk. But „I hung out with the Hare Krishnas in Christchurch for a little bit. They used to have free vegetarian dinners on Sunday nights. The music was pretty cool. There was sort of a Beatles connection with Hare Krishna. Stu was really into John Lennon. We were all Beatles fans.” Moreover their last cassette was a tribute album to Elton John in 1992. It’s so frightening, is not it? When I first met with them in 2011 I cried out „Oh my God! What is it?”

The first video is a rare and baffling TV performance in a Saturday morning kid show in 1991. The song (Hey Alice!) turns into a promo for their just released CD. I’m sure, many New Zealander children cried for Axemen CD after the show.

And the destiny has reached him too. They have become discovered. Their albums were re-released in the US by Siltbreeze. And now here is the new, yes the new Axemen album! Sac Tap Nut Jam. It’s less chaotic like the usual. A song from it.

The Satanic Rockers are coming from NZ/AUS. They play „heavy blues and light metal”, i.e. early Butthole Surferesque music with Axemen* philosophy.  (*Legendary NZ DIY art punk group.) A Satanic Rocker, Lynton has replied to 3 basic questions:

1. What was the first own record in your life? Please write some words about it!

– Red Hot Chili Peppers album called „Freaky Styley” was the first tape I ever bought, I was only fourteen so it wasn’t really my fault. I used to skateboard and deliver newspapers for pocket money. I was a useless skater and I find the Red Hot Chili Peppers quite painful to hear these days…The second tape I bought was Dead Kennedy’s first album which is more on the mark….!

2. What record made the biggest influence on you?

The biggest influence on me at the moment would be Darkthrone and Kenneth Higney. Higney specialises in highly emotional and rocking discordance and Darkthrone paint the sky black! My favourite Darkthrone album is Blaze In The Northern Sky….!

3. What was the last record that you heard?

The last record I bought was a Sydney band called Ruined Fortune. It is a seven inch and I love the riffing, kinda enthusiastic heavy pop with indiscernable lyrics!

Satanic Rockers Fu-Kung LP is out now.
It’s a very little micro moment in the world history.

A year after here is a public new demo-something
track from the Piresian Beach

Her last songs were released on record of the year recently.
