Beautiful, cold, warm, psych, noisey, drunky, urban folk tunes from and by LOWER PLENTY. It is a suburb of Melbourne and also a band

Its members are from e.g. Total Control, The UV Race, Dick Diver or Terry. About their music I could write that sometimes like VU and Nico, but I do not want to write it, so forget it. This song is taken their 4th album Sister, Sister out now on Bedroom Suck Records (AUS). It was recorded in a kitchen of another suburb of Melbourne, Collingwood.

On that place which is today Lower Plenty the first settler was a Hungarian political immigrant Sigismund Wekey in the mid of the 19th century. He was a lawyer, but during the revolutiuon and war of independence of Hungary in 1848/49 he became a captain and adjutant of the political leader Kossuth. After the fall he went to London, learnt mining, and wrote the first Hungarian grammar for the English people.

He arrived in Australia in his late 20s. On the site which is today Lower Plenty he purchased land as a manager of a shareholder company he founded with a vision to start the wine industry of Melbourne, but the company went to bankruptcy within two years. During this time he was the secretary of Philosophical Society (later Philosophical Institute) of state Victoria. But because the cost of the society’s publications were paid by himself for two years finally he resigned.

He also was a correspondent of some journals, later registrar and postmaster of a gold mining town Gaffneys Creek. He applied for patents of some mining machineries, and became a director of the Aladdin and Try-Again United Gold Mining Co., but he was placed under charge of conspiracy with his two co-directors in 1870. He was sentenced and spent one year in gaol where he wrote a pamphlet about the elastic laws and the political corruption which endangered of the liberty of the subject, titled The Institution Of The Land We Live In. After his release he left Australia, travelled around the world with his family, and finally settled in Budapest.

„election got us feeling a certain type of way, so we moded out a chaos UK style anarchy punk romp” from Atlanta, Georgia

Georgia: Trump: 51.3%; Clinton: 45.6%; Johnson: 3.1%

I do not know about the Atlanta’s results, but in Fulton County whose seat is Atlanta the state capital: Clinton: 69.2%; Trump: 27.1%; Johnson: 3.7%

The song is illustrated with the burning Reichstag. „It’s about a changing of the guards for the worse, nothing else don’t get panties in a bunch.”

Great Depression. About 5 million Germans without job (25-30%).

NSDAP was on top in June 1932 (37.27%), on the next voting same year November it fell (33.09%), but there was a deadlock after the election.

After long tug of war Hitler was asked to be next chancellor by President Hindenburg in January 1933.

On 27 February, six days before the next election, fire broke out in the Reichstag chambers.

Next day Hitler asked for and received from President Hindenburg the Decree of the Reich President for the Protection of the People and State.

§ 1 „Thus, restrictions on personal liberty, on the right of free expression of opinion, including freedom of the press, on the right of assembly and the right of association, and violations of the privacy of postal, telegraphic, and telephonic communications, and warrants for house searches, orders for confiscations as well as restrictions on property are permissible beyond the legal limits otherwise prescribed.”

On the spot a lunatic Dutch communist was arrested.

Later 1 German and 3 Bulgarian communists also were arrested, but against every effort finally they were acquitted during the trial but later

Georgi Dimitrov became Stalinist boss of Bulgaria. After his death in 1949 he was embalmed and got a mausoleum;

Ernst Torgler became a Gestapo agent and worked for the Propaganda Ministry;

Vasily Tanev was killed during a secret party mission in Bulgaria in 1941;

Blagoy Popov spent 17 years on GULAG from 1937;

Lunatic Dutch communist Van der Lubbe was beheaded.

So funny:=)

At RNR666 PARTY they shared stage with German math noise rock band Don Vito – there is a common 7″ with them as Don Kiri.

Berlin based Israeli musician Charlie Megira is dead.

It is total unbelievable for me. No, that is just a bad joke. He is so young, and need to play at RNR666 Party.

But it seems the whisper is real.

Charlie Megira was an exceptional musician, a guitar virtuoso. On the picture above with his last band The Bet-She’an Valley Hillbillies. „Surf, Poetry, Rockabilly” was the slogan

but the formula is not so simple.

When I met his music at first he played wispy almost ethereal surf rock and roll on guitar, piano and castanets. But after he made a Joy Division- , Cure-, Sisters of Mercy like dark wave album with his girlfriend as Charlie Megira & Hefker Girl. After Charlie Megira and The Modern Dance Club was founded, where every mentioned style merged into high energy garage rock. And finally he went back to the beach with The Bet-She’an Valley Hillbillies. The last album.

And a free download live show on WFMU radio with covers of Joy Division’s Heart And Soul and TV Personalities’ Diary Of A Young Man.

And an interview with almost all of his music, and a „best of” playlist on RNR666 mag.

A fragment from it:

„I also used to hang out with my older cousin that introduced me to some rock music like Whitesnake, Iron Maiden, Scorpions, and more. I remember I once asked him why all those bands are wearing dirty and ripped cloths, I thought they were poor and maybe could not afford to buy nice cloths… Anyway I really got into this heavy rock and also liked Bob Marley a lot. (…) I had a roommate that played The Smiths on a tape and for me it sounded horrible so I punched him in the face and broke the cassette and put on the Scorpions’ gold ballads.”

Hey Charlie, just one more song, please!

They are MISS DESTINY from Australia.

let there be rock and roll

from debut album on RIP SOCIETY RECORDS (AUS)

„SURFACE TO AIR MISSIVE

is primarily the project of recorder player Taylor Ross from The American South. This Rock Band has destroyed The Rock Band in order to build a New Rock Band sourced from Fake Classical / Neo-Baroque stylings. Recorders big and small multi-tracked atop atypical chord progressions”

This is a neo-baroque psych folk pop crank, an easy, bloody fun

from the album „A V” on Leaving Records (US)

But this song shows just one face from the many of the band. Sometimes it seems as if there would be a different band, because „Hey, it’s totally Sonic Youth”; „Oh what is the name of that Czech folk jazz band? They make something similar. Jablkon! That’s right.” And in the next moment it turns into grunge. Just like the Ween.

„everyone believes in something that doesn’t exist, we’re telling people we don’t exist, that we’re a fictional band and

we want to write the biggest pop hits that the radio won’t touch.”

MOONLANDINGZ

In this fiction the persons are from the Fat White Family & The Eccentronic Research Council, and this phantom song is „our ode to the odious little England hegemony we have suddenly found ourselves sinking into”

from Blak Hanz EP on Transgression Records (UK) on 16 Dec

But maybe all of these are just games of the imagination.

another strange aussie punk band
