„AMIKOR ZUHANOK, ELKAPNAK.” – interjú Bónyai Barbó képzőművésszel, spirituális karikatúrái és új kiállítása kapcsán
Ő itt Barbó. Tudod. A fura csaj a nyíregyi kisképzőből, a barcelona-i kukák mellől, a magyarkirályiképzőművészetiegyetem aulájából, ős-acid partikból, azokból a ritka RNR666 bulikból ahol rapzene szólt, vagy épp szabó és Kondorosi fanzinjából, a Búvárok Reménykednek negyedik számából.
Barbóhoz fűződő személyes érintettségem egyenesen tagadhatatlan, sőt, némi költői túlzással élve: kezdet és vég nélküli. Tizennégy éves korom óta hallom hírét, tizennyolc éves koromban láttam először, igaz akkor még csak hátulról, huszonkettő voltam, amikor a huszonkettessel jártam ki hozzá hétszer egy héten. Szóval, igen: részben saját örömömre és főleg a Barbó iránti mély tiszteletből születik ez a poszt, de a megteremtődés lényege ennél sokkal összetetteb, mint az a hajtás után ki fog derülni minden nyitott elme számára. Kortársművészet-tematikájú pofázás rég volt ennyi itt az RNR666-on, de most, hogy Barbónak hosszú idő után újra kiállítása nyílik, amelyen nyolcvan darab kréta portét fog bemutatni, úgyéreztem, hogy érdemes feltenni neki pár hülye kérdést.

Sin, You Sinners!
The Devils: Sin, You Sinners! / Voodoo Rhythm Records (2016)
Ezért szereti az ember a Voodoo Rhythm Records -ot (ezért is!)! Időnként előkapnak valahonnan egy vadiúj, fiatal, max helyi szinten ismert bandát, mint ezt a 2015 ben (írhattam vóna, tavaly) alakult nápolyi brutál duót, oszt kiadják bakeliten, cd-n. Kinek melyik a szimpatikusabb formátum.
Mégis milyen banda adja magának a ‘The Devils’ nevet 2015 ben? Hát, fiatal, hóthülye, beleszarós, egyszerű, magabiztos, lényegretörő. Na, ez mind igaz is rájuk, azt hiszem. Némileg árnyalja a képet, és megmagyarázza miért visel ez a szerelmespár papi ill. apáca öltözéket a színpadon, ha tudjuk, hogy a nevet az 1971- es Ken Russel film, az Ördögök után vették fel.
Elmondásuk szerint Blueson, punkon nevelkedtek, és egy rakás underground bandát hallgattak, olyanokat hogy: The Cramps, Hound Dog Taylor, The Gories, Jon Spencer, Fugazi, Hasil Adkins, The Oblivians. Hát ebbe a sorba nem nagyon lehet belekötni….
Na. Ez év februárjában vették fel a lemezt Montpellier -ben Jim Diamond -al (The Dirtbombs basszer!!!) midőn Beat-Man is éppen arra járt, és egyből szerződtette őket. Nagyon helyesen.
A lemez. Ha annyit mondok, hogy 10 szám 17 percben? Akkor már sejthető, hogy itt bizony nincsennek hosszú intrók, pszichedelikus elszállások, egyebek. Dara van, hisztérikus, mániákus tekerés és FUZZZZ orgia !!!!!! Primitív és durva. Annyira, hogy a 17 perc inkább 37 nek tűnik, és nem is nagyon van hiányérzete a hallgatónak.
A dalok szövege is ugyanezt a koncepciót követi. Szavak, félmondatok mániákus ismétlése. „Onan came on the floor / the priest touched me harder” oszt kész. Vagy „This town once was wild / but now it’s drunk” 15 ször egymás után…
A zene persze totál trash rock n roll, de a lemez vége felé van pár instrumentális szám, aminek egy-egy témáját ha mondjuk 1-2 percig ismételgetnék takaros kis stoner dal is lehetne belőle, mondjuk olyasmi mint a nagyon korai Kyuss. Ja, meg néha finn testvéreink, a Black Magic Six is beugrik (akik úgy szintén duoban nyomják).
Nagyon jó lemez, nagyon jó banda, határozottan úgy érzem, hogy látni fogjuk őket RNR666 színpadon hamarosan!

Pink Slip Daddy Does It Again
„Tell young teenagers the news, we got good hard rock”
Mick Cancer, Sal Mineo’s Only Son (aka Ben Vaughn), Barb Dwyer and Palmyra Delran are together
PINK SLIP DADDY
was a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia from the late 80s up to 1995. Next year 12 Golden Country Greats was released by Ween with Ben Vaughn as producer.
The band was reformed in 2012, and in 2016 they have „returned to rock action with a vengeance, having recently played a string of calamitous live shows and a new 7” EP, a rollicking, raucous heartfelt celebration of the music of teen pop idol Fabian Forte, and the golden age of Philadelphia rock ‘n’ roll.”
Fabian’s music career lasted exactly so far while Elvis Presley as a sergeant of US 3rd Armoured Division served in Western Germany between 1959-60. A short film about Fabian, the manufactured idol.
But more important that here is a 7″ vinyl with 3 new songs on French label Kizmiaz Records. The first ones after 22 years
so PINK SLIP DADDY is a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia again. And you can find some old songs on their soundcloud free to download

Swing Cremona
Pierre Omers’s Swing Revue
Swing Cremona / Voodoo Rhythm Records (2016)
Ez Pierre Omer ötödik nagylemeze, de első a Voodoo-nál, a kapcsolat Beat-Man és közte viszont nagyon régi, hisz Omer anyazenekarának a The Dead Brothers-nek (svájci ‘funeral’ Rock n Roll band) eddigi hét nagylemezéből hat a Voodoo-nál jelent meg, és Reverend Beat-Man albumokon is rendszeresen játszanak Dead Brothers tagok.
Ahogy a zenekar nevéből is sejthető ez egy swing album, saját dalokkal és pár feldolgozással (Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin) és a leginkább a Pulp Fiction-ből ismert ‘Miserlou’ is be lett swingesítve. Szerintem van olyan is a feldolgozások közt, amit az RNR666 kedvenc kis fogatlan rohadéka, Jerry Dammers (the Specials) is játszott már.
Megint csak azt tudom mondani nagyon jó lemez, és nem csak nagypapáknak! Én kéremszépen egy becsületes punkrokkernek tarom magam, aki a death metáltól sem ugrik meg, mégis tetszik! Persze mondanom sem kell, hogy ez a cucc fényévekre van a Magyarországon oly népszerű kamu swing / old timer szarságoktól

From The Better Half of England Lost
Once upon a time somewhere in a disintegrating country which have been defeated by mass stupidity there is a little DIY record label OneC Records. They are interested in punk/experimental rock, and released such first class bands as The Pheromoans, Ivan The Tolerable, Bilders, Queer’d Science or Year Of Birds. Or GAD WHIP, a strange post punk no wave band
A track from the new album, a particular combination of drums, double bass, synth, vocals
It will be released 01 July 2016.
The Devils from the South-Italian Hell
Primitiva Primordiale Essentiale

In the beginning they did countless shows in Italy DIY and France where they meet up with Jim Diamond from the DIRTBOMBS who recorded their first full Lenght album, the same day Reverend Beat-Man from VOODOO RHYTHM RECORDS was in the same town and got their recordings and signed them up on the label.
Sin,You Sinners is an album with a huge wall of GUITAR FUZZ BLUES ROCKABILLY NOISE TRASH ROCK’N’ROLL TORNADO, vocals as Stupid and Minimalistic as it gets, this is NO BOB DYLAN POETRY, thats pure EVIL and Lots of Fun
THE BIG MOUNTAIN COUNTY INTERVIEW
an island, close to the sea, full of sun and green
in a huge and chaotic, besides beautiful and unique city
BIG MOUNTAIN COUNTY is a relatively new but great psych garage rock band somewhere in Rome. They are blessed with ability to write hits, even in the manner of Butthole Surfers. Moreover the bassplayer Wolfman Bob is our old comrade. He played at rnr666 party in Budapest with three different bands: wild garage rock Ultra Twist, lo-fi punk Trio Banana, and of course Big Mountain County.
How you have become musicians?
As for many other musicians: listening to music at home, trying to play any instrument and finally being completely captured by the desire to play over and over.
Your hometowns are Catania, Bari, Pescara, Rome. There are long distances between these cities. How you have got together? You understand each other without problem, or there are difficulties because of the language differences?
We come from different and quite far towns, but there are no particular language differences. So no communication problems. Alessandro and Bruno have met each other in Catania, their common hometown. They met Bob in a music festival, where they were performing with their respective past bands, Bruno and Alessandro with “The Boliers” and Bob with “The Ultra Twist”. A few years later, they all moved to Rome, where Alessandro and Francesco met each as roommate. They began playing guitars and writing songs together and soon they decided to start a new band, involving Bruno as drummer and Bob as bass player. We believe that the difference between our origins is one of the keys of the band. Alessandro and Bruno come from Catania, a hot and spirited city, Bob comes from another lively and dynamic town, whereas Francesco comes from a quiet village close to Pescara. These differences reflect on our music styles. So yes, we have different languages, but just “musical languages”. However, this is not a problem, but an unbelievable resource, since playing and writing together is a continuous mutual exchange, which every time creates new songs, new sounds and new atmospheres. We definitely like to be different but to appear as a unity on the stage.
You spent a month together to produce a better sounding in a house on the base of Etna. Was the session successful? Could you use that under ground latent energy?
Definitely yes! We live in Rome, a huge and chaotic (besides beautiful and unique) city. Sometimes we need to escape from the rhythm of the city life in order to find new inspirations. Therefore, when we had to complete our first LP Breaking Sound, we decided to stay a month in a nice house on the base of the Etna, where we had more time and the right atmosphere to write new songs and find out new sounds. Those days were relaxing, inspiring and stimulant. That was the right place in the right moment.
In some songs (e.g. Brain Machine) I have discovered the strong influence of Butthole Surfers. Are there accidents, or are you also big fans of those funny guys?
We know Butthole Surfers and we like their music. Anyway, we do not know if they directly influenced some of our songs. As said before, we are four and we have various and very different musical influences.
Psychedelic music is very trendy nowadays, almost every second village has a psych fest. What do you think about this revival?
We like psychedelic music, we play psychedelic music, so we follow the trend… Psych music surely is not new, but we believe that many bands are proposing new different, modern and interesting interpretations. We think that this kind of music can be fully expressed just during live shows. Therefore, we promote the spread of psych fests and we hope every second village will have more than one psych fest. We are so sure about this that we are contributing to the organization of the first Rome Psych Fest, which will be held in next October.
As band what was your biggest show experience?
We had many unforgettable shows, but if we have to choose one, that is Sarajevo in 2013, during our first European tour. We were very far from home, not only because of physical distance, but also because of history and culture. However, we felt at home. People got really involved by our show and our music. The atmosphere was perfect, in poor words, unforgettable.
Where is Big Mountain County geographically?
As for songs, pictures, or poems, each can have its personal idea about the Big Mountain County. Therefore, we cannot say where it is. In our minds, it is probably on an island, close to the sea, full of sun and green lands. Do you know any place like this?
What are your plans for the future?
In this period, we are promoting out live CD Anachronicle, out for Area Pirata Records. In the same time, we are writing new songs to record our second studio LP, which will be more psych and experimental than “Breaking Sound”. Our idea is to record in autumn and release the album at the beginning of 2017. Meanwhile, in next October, we will share the release of a 12 inches split, out for Annibale Records with the Italian band “Lame”, a project of Stefano Isaia from Movie Star Junkies. It will contain two new tracks by Big Mountain County, one to dance and one to dream.
And for the past? What would you change in the history if you could?
To answer this question is not easy. Everything could be better, but worse also. We think that what is done is done. Fortunately, just music and songs remain. We prefer to learn from the past in order to make the future better.
