pref: Tuaregs are nomadic people in the Sahara. They’re living as refugees in some countries of Africa.

„TINARIWEN IS A BAND BORN INTO CHAOS.”

The founder, Ag Alhabib has seen a cowboy to play on guitar in a western film in his childhood. After the happy end he fabricated his first guitar from a tin can, a stick and bicycle brake wire. He has formed his band in a Libyan Tuareg refugee camp, where they were under military training in 1979. When the revolution broke out in their homeland, they left Libya behind, put down their instruments and took up guns to fight for the Tuareg independence in Mali. When the conflict died down, the band returned to music. And they became successful refugees around the world with their traditional Tuareg music, which is influenced by blues and Hendrix.

For a Tuareg the Sahara is not one desert but many,
they call it Tinariwen, id est: The Deserts

„WE LOVE ALL THE DESERT, THESE ARE PLACES
WHERE WE FEEL GOOD TO LIVE AND TO CREATE.”

Further Reductions is a very beauty speaking name of a Shawn O’Sullivan‘s band. He is one of the important figures in New Yorker analogue synth scene with his L.I.E.S. label; personal projects: Vapauteen, 440ppm; and bands: Led Er Est, Civil Duty and Further Reductions with his wife Katie Rose. During the listening of the latter band’s new album I noted these: a little tribal electro industrial, ebm, techno.

LAMC split 7″ series No 11. Mikal Cronin / WAND. A great split single for the fans of good noisy garage rock.
Mikal Cronin (Charlie and The Moonheart, Epsilons, Party Fowl, Okie Dokie, Ty Segall backing band) is a more and more known figure of „on-the-ground” musical life. His track is a Nirvana-like garage rock. In accordance with order of the series the A-side artist suggets a band to the B-side. Cronin picked the WAND. It was a very good pick. This is the band’s debut song, listen!

„I was really inspired by this story I once read about Marie Laveau, the legendary voodoo priestess of New Orleans. They say that she was asked to help with a court case where an innocent Creole man was falsely accused for something and was supposed to be sentenced to death. She stood outside of the courtroom every day and put some very hot chili’s in her mouth and held them there for the entire time the court was in session for days, with tears rolling down her face constantly. The man was set free. I wanted to show Louis the 14th ordering modern executions to show folks that things have really not changed much. The powers that be are still these royal families that call all the shots. I still believe there is a ray of hope that comes from some mysterious spiritual place. Ultimately, I wanted to pay tribute to Alejandro Jodorowsky who is one of my spiritual gurus and one of the greatest film makers of all time.” – said Mr. Khan about this video

The singer of Canadian band Weaves, Jasmyn said: „I enjoy being called weird, because why not? Morgan doesn’t think we’re weird because our songs are pretty poppy and you’re able to dance to them and you can recognize hooks and choruses. We kind of purposefully made them as non-band-sounding as possible, but at the same time, we’re a band!” Light schizophrenic situation, but really hard to categorize their weird pop music. Buttercup
