Fabulous Go-Go Boy’s Bands From Brazil #5

Shannon & The Clams – Rat House

„is what SHANNON AND THE CLAMS (da) do (ron ron) heads and tails above and more importantly, BEYOND the other troglodytes and biscuit-heads out there. Can a group be a „girl group” if there is only one girl in the group? Can a modern working band be considered „oldies”? No silly, but the rules are none, and anything goes, and this is PUNK, punk. Or is it rock ‘n’ roll, or whatever? It is SHANNON AND THE CLAMS and they do what they want.” NOBUNNY

Rat House is taken from their latest album, Dreams in the Rat House

+ Natural Child – Live In Birmingham 12″ + 7″ vinyl by Shed House Records. Recorded in Birmingham, Alabama on May 17th, 2013.  Tracklist

„In the years since the debut, front-man Jason Boyer has been busy travelling, touring, moving from Virginia to Florida, and writing an impressive amount of songs. The best of these were selected and recorded in late 2012 with a full band at Memphis’ Electraphonic Recording.”

Farewell to bedroom recordings, hello to a studio recording from a band called Nerve City!

To be honest, I couldn’t really imagine until today how Jason Boyer’s songs would sound without the otherwordly death-invocating sound and the vocals coming from the deepest depths of the sea…or from behind the mirror. And as you can guess, the new songs on Asleep on the tracks indeed sound less fucked-up and less sinister then those from the early EPs, still the band managed to preserve a lot from the easily recognizable style that Jason had developed alone at his home. One of his songwriting strengths is for example balancing between bright and dark harmonies as if he’d put you on a rollercoaster; the other thing he had really mastered throughout the years is writing catchy songs… take the opening track, Rifle of peace or the overtly sixties-influenced track, Fall away and you could see why Nerve City is so fucking great.

It’s not easy to write a review about a band that has been a huge influence on me but I know how much a fan-written post could suck… so to conclude all the enthusiasm I haven’t  fully unfolded in this article, here’s a highly recommended album to get and if you dig it, order a vinyl from the Canadian label Sweet Rot Records!

Lydia Lunch is an influential artist, one the most important members of No Wave scene. She has started her career as founding member of Teenage Jesus & The Jerks in New York, 1976. She made records in collaboration with various artists such as Foetus, Sonic Youth, Nick Cave, Marc Almond, Rowland S. Howard, Michael Gira, The Birthday Party, Einstürzende Neubauten, Oxbow or Omar Rodriguez-Lopez.

Today start her Euro tour with his band, Retrovirus. It consists of Weasel Walter (guitar, The Flying Luttenbachers, etc.), Algis Kizys (bass, Swans, Foetus, etc) and Bob Bert (drums, Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, Chrome Cranks, etc). The set consisted of a quasi-chronological display of musical raw power, ranging from material by Lydia’s classic units Teenage Jesus and the Jerks (1976-79), 8-Eyed Spy (1979-80), 13.13 (1982),  and Shotgun Wedding (with Rowland S. Howard, 1991) as well as touching on her solo debut “Queen of Siam” (1980) and various other projects up to the present. But this is no county fair cover-band – Retrovirus is a totally modern take on the atrocities of the past and present, devoid of simpering nostalgia, bristling with a scoriatingly modern sheen of violence and momentum.
