The Best Local Band: NATURAL CHILD

 in Budapest on Oct 14 at Dürer Kert >> Facebook event

from GONER RECORDS

15th anniversary Mannix Serial

4 EP in 4 different labels by the energetic French garage rock’n’roll duo, Magnetix

The second is an unusual single compared to their other records. There are an easy, melodic song, a blues fragment, and an almost acoustic folk song:

The third one: Magnetix like music in French with old school French punk feeling:

The first

Here’s Gustave Tiger, Hungary’s new noise scholars who label their music as ‘cathedral punk’  – join them in their fun quest to find the best ingredients from the history of independent music and get soaked in this noisy mixture titled Mitanni Mares

Don’t get fooled, there isn’t anything cathedralish about this EP and this ain’t no punk music, these guys  just have a sweet sense of humour!

After his second album Seasick Steve won the Award for Best Breakthrough Act in UK in 2007. Then he made an all sold out UK tour, included performances at the Royal Albert Hall, The Edinburgh Queens Hall, the Grand Opera House in Belfast or the London Hammersmith Apollo. He was 66 at the time of breakthrough.

Before the success he was an itinerant street musician in France and Scandinavia. His first album, entitled Cheap, was released in Norway in 2001. He arrived to Europe from USA, where he was born in 1941. At 8 he learned to play the guitar from K.C. Douglas, who worked at his grandfather’s garage. K.C. was influenced by the great delta blues musician, Tommy Johnson. K.C. had a big hit in 1949, the Mercury Boogie. It was later renamed to Mercury Blues

Seasick Steve would be a hobo, travelled by freight trains sure, and worked as a seasonal farm worker, but sometimes joined various travelling shows. In the 1960s he started touring and performing with fellow blues musicians. Then he worked as session musician, studio engineer and producer for lil independent labels around Seattle in the 90s…

Some fellow musicians of his new album: John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin, bass, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, organ), Jack White (White Stripes) and Luther Dickinson (Black Crows, guitar)…

„My only friend was an older woman that I met at a job.
She was an old Pum-Pum from the Tutu tribe.
But she moved eventually and left me with a big Yamaha.
She stole the keyboard from a Bumba Clot.
It was my first keyboard. Things got weird after that.”

„I get the 80’s reference a lot, which I love because 80’s music is so good.”

Moreover he wrote GG Allin’s obituary.

He is working on third part of his autobiography, entitled Lord of Garbage. It will be published the day of his death. No, there’s nothing scandalous, just „because it’s good marketing.” And a there will be a perfume parallel with the book. „It’s called “Garbage.” Smells like jock straps and junkyards.”
