A runner-up of the above mentioned contest: Drags from Oakland. Very nice variegated music. Psychedelic country gaze garage noise pop punk or what you will. The songs were recorded by Matthew Melton (Bare Wires, Warm Soda):

Sick Thougths. Lo-fi raw garage punk. As if the LiveFastDie and the Outdoorsmen would play at the same time. Sometimes like a lo-fi garage Motörhead:

„Washington is not a place to live in. The rents are high, the food is bad, the dust is disgusting and the morals are deplorable. Go West, young man, go West and grow up with the country.” – Horace Greeley, second half of the XIXth c.

Some thoughts with reference to new album of Robbie Fulks. The Gone Away Backward released by Bloodshot Records.

Robbie Fulks is a country music “outsider”. He has his own views about the country industry. It’s brief and to the point: Fuck this town. The sentence refers to the capital of country, Nashville, where several branch of industry have been built on the genre. There is the system of institute of country music. The marketing machinery lets lot of country-called terrible products loose on the unsuspecting world from this town. Then there is the Grand Ole Opry. It has started as a radio show in 1925, during the years has become the congregation of country elite. And finally there is the necropolis, the Country Music Hall of Fame. (You can read the Sex Pistols’ opinion about a similar institute, the Rock and Roll H.O.F. here.)

The country lives outside of every institution in the rural areas. Fulks takes a sightseeing tour in the countryside, and sings about the end of his beloved small town America from Chicago. But the “now” has come somewhere, and the “end” was there yesterday too.
The American people are restless and very mobile. 1927: The 67% of families have car. 1956: The average American family changes residence every 4 years. While broadcast desires rules over the average heads. C’est la américain vie. It’s gone, but not with the wind.

Robbie Fulks’ new album, the Gone Away Backward is an excellent „back to the roots” country album. Not sad, rather melancholic. Rather Bob Dylan, than Merle Haggard.
The violinist is Jenny Scheinmann. (She formed the Giant Trio in the 90s. It was a five pieces band, he-he.) Beside her solo recordings she worked together for example Carla Bozulich, Ani Difranco, Bill Frisell, Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux, Mark Ribot, John Zorn. She made the string arrangements on Lou Reed and Metallica’s common album.

The recordings made by analog devices. Producer: Steve Albini (of Big Black and Shellac. He was producer of: Gore, Pixies, Pussy Galore, Breeders, Jesus Lizard, Pigface, Zeni Geva, Silverfish, PJ Harvey, Nirvana, Red Krayola, Melt-Banana, Cheap Trick, Killdozer, Fleshtones, The Ex, Neurosis, Zu and many more albums.).

And one more note: his hometown, York, is a little city in Pennsylvania. The population has increased in the last decade for the fist time since 1950.

Split tape between Halfrican (Scotland) and White Pages (US). Some words about the bands by Jeff from No Sir I Won’t: „Halfrican sounds like „Holiday Road” if it was on Crass Records. White Pages sound like if The Pissed Officers and The Showcase Showdown were the same band.” Thus everything is clear, click!

The Man Man is a very funny experimental rock band. I think maybe this long and boring track is the most listener friendly on On Oni Pond LP. I hope.

Here is a good one

The Black Tambourines come from England. They enumerate the following bands like influence: Velvet Underground, Devo, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Ramones. Their music is fine fuzzy indie garage punk.

LP by Art Is Hard

Don’t confuse with Black Tambourine, a recently reformed American shoegaze indie pop band!

Tropical Trash Noise rock in the manner of 90s with hardcore and metal elements. For example the Big Black occurs to me. But sometimes they wander on the way of experimental music too.

Itt a nagy esély, hogy aki hiába volt kíváncsi a márciusban hóvihar miatt elmaradt Vlasta Popic bulira, az ma este pótolhasson!

A horvát triót épp most hétvégén csíptük el Grazban és szerencsére nem dőltünk be a post punk címkének –

Vlastáék fura hangokkal megpakolt szörfös, indies beütésű minimalista zenéje szakít rendesen!

A plakáton olvasható zenekarok közül az Away zenekar sajnos nem fog fellépni, az este pedig várhatóan 8-kor indul, műsor:

20:00 Central

20:30 Fonija (MKD)

21:00 Vlasta Popic (HR)

21:30 Snakes and lions (GER)
