Horrorpops

Band founders Patricia Day and Kim Nekroman first met when Day's now-defunct band, the punk rock group Peanut Pump Gun, opened for Nekroman's psychobilly band, Nekromantix, at a festival in Cologne, Germany in 1996. Despite both belonging to the subculture scene of Copenhagen, Denmark, the two had never met before, but they became friends over their mutual interest in alternative music. The two would eventually marry.

Day and Nekroman decided to form a band where they could experiment with many genres outside of their normal bands, and decided to start by switching instruments. Nekroman taught Day how to play an upright bass, while she taught him how to play guitar. The two began auditioning for a drummer, with Nekromantix guitarist Peter Sandorff even being a possible choice. They eventually chose Niedermeier to drum, a friend of Day's and a member of the band Strawberry Slaughterhouse, and officially started HorrorPops in 1998. After touring for a while as a trio, the band recruited Niedermeier's old bandmate, Caz the Clash, as a second guitarist.

In 2000, Day recruited two friends, Mille and Kamilla Vanilla , co-workers at the body piercing shop she worked at to act as go-go dancers for the band's live show. The group also recorded a 7 song demo for use in a press kit, but it was somehow leaked to the public, and resulted in two of the group's singles becoming club hits in Denmark. The group spent the next few years touring Europe, until 2003, when they began recording 6 more demo tracks. During this time, Caz the Clash became a father and left the band to focus on parenting. He was replaced by another Strawberry Slaughterhouse member, Karsten. Hellcat Records, Tim Armstrong's (of Rancid) record label, decided to sign HorrorPops based on their demos. The band was able to release a vinyl single in September 2003, and began a U.S. headlining tour.

The band's first full-length album, Hell Yeah!, was released in February 2004, but problems with getting work visas resulted in the band having to cancel U.S. tour dates. The band was able to make up for this loss via an opening stint for the Offspring in Europe. Mille left the band a short while later to go back to school, and was replaced with Naomi. The band soon relocated from Denmark to Los Angeles, California. The band's second album, Bring It On!, was released on September 13, 2005. Their third album, released on February 5, 2008, is called Kiss Kiss Kill Kill.





Hell Yeah! is the debut album of Danish psychobilly band HorrorPops, released February 10, 2004.

The first seven tracks of the album were recorded in 1999 at Ventura Recordings. This was intended as a press kit only demo, however it was somehow copied and circulated leading to the tracks "Ghouls" and "Psychobitches Outta Hell" becoming a hit on the Copenhagen club circuit. The further six tracks making up the album were not recorded until 2003, again at Ventura Recordings. It was these 13 tracks that impressed Hellcat Records to the point of signing the band.

Bring it On! is the second album by the Danish psychobilly band, HorrorPops. It was released on September 13, 2005 on Hellcat Records. It was recorded in Sound City Studios, Van Nuys, California during 2005. It was produced by Brett Gurewitz.

Kiss Kiss Kill Kill is a 2008 LP by the Danish punk trio HorrorPops. The cover and songs convey a cinematic theme (particularly those with repressed female protagonists and escapist themes, the obvious example being the track "Thelma and Louise"). The album art mimics archtypical B-movie posters, promising "Twelve Tales About Love and Murder... Starring HorrorPops". Only "Boot to Boot" doesn't conform to the film formula. Inspired by the rioting in Copenhagen that followed the destruction of the Ungdomshuset(Youth House), an anarcho-punk squat and cultural center, by police forces in 2007. Of the album's sound, lead singer Patrica Day stated in the Hellcat review of the album that the band was started "So that we could play all kinds of music [but]... We really wanted to get back to the classic new wave feel that we love. And I think our excitement about these songs has made a hell of difference."

NIKKI SUDDEN- Egyptian Roads (SAMPLER)

"Love Nest," the first cut on Nikki Sudden's Egyptian Roads, starts with Sudden's electric guitar playing balls out, in the red zone, a Neil Young-like scree accompanied by the drum kit and a Hammond B-3. It's an edifying way to begin a record that for all intents and purposes has been forgotten by rock & roll -- like most of Sudden's catalog. The fans, of course, are justifiably rabid: Sudden has assembled one of the most consistent, enigmatic, and prodigious shelves in rock. Egyptian Roads was begun in 1986 and actually finished and released in 1997. In other words, it was forgotten before it was issued -- thank God it was briefly available again in a limited edition of 500 copies in 2004. There's a hell of a list of players here: Rowland Howard, Steve Shelley, Epic Soundtracks, Dave Kusworth, and loads more. The songs, like those on Red Brocade which followed it by a year (after the death of Sudden's brother Soundtracks), are among the most refined of Sudden's career. The country-ish "When Angels Die," with its lovely piano lines and backing chorus, turn a sad song into something utterly infectious. The spooky instrumental "Misty Roads" features Howard playing some of his most shadowy yet seductive slide guitar. The medley of the Stones-like "Evangeline" with the country-rocker "Silver Dollar" is just amazing. The slow, swirling, and dark rocker "Broken Glove," with Mars Williams' tenor saxophone, is shambolic, desperate, and dramatic. Soundtracks' piano is heard most prominently on "Page 66," a brief, tender, and surrealistic love ballad both André Breton and Georges Bataille would have celebrated. The spooky "Golden Dawn" is an acoustic-driven tune of foreboding and trepidation. And it get shattered in "Wedding Hotel," where Sudden's reedy vocal is all but drowned by the roaring, distorted-to-bleeding guitars. The blistering Quaalude-speed guitars take the rest of the set out on the self destructive "Liquor, Guns & Ammo" and the burning "Butterfly," which gives Young's "Like a Hurricane" a run for its money. Sudden's approach to making music is utterly unpretentious and low-key in an age when virtually everything -- including "outsider" art -- is hype-driven. One does wish he would have a bit more ambition or that some generous and visionary major -- or at least big independent -- label head would sign him and give him a steadier way to make all this great music. But perhaps if that were true, this kind of poetic, magically real, ragged rock & roll on the edge of obliteration and oblivion wouldn't happen at all. No matter what, this one, like the very different Red Brocade that followed it, is well worth seeking out both for fans and for the uninitiated. Dare to have your ears opened.

THE FIVE - Promo

http://www.thefive.com.au/

http://www.myspace.com/thefivebrisbane

The Rule of Five

You may remember the old adage that “all good things come in fives”. Well we certainly do.
And we are determined to make everything we do very, very, very, very, very good indeed.
Hence: the Rule of Five.
The Five has 5 members. It will play 5 shows. It will write 5 original compositions. It will record a 5 track EP. And it will sell 5 of them (if they are lucky).
Such lofty ambitions are what made this country great. And The Five intend to make it al least five times as great as it already is….

A FORGOTTEN TRADITION:
THE GREAT INSTRUMENTAL HIT OF SUMMER
In the 50's, the 60's and the 70's it was always the same – every year without fail there would be at least one great instrumental hit. Usually it would make the Top 10 in mid-summer – when the heat was way up.
“When I was a kid (back in the early 70's) these tunes were still coming thick and fast ('Theme From Shaft', 'Rock & Roll Part 2', 'Popcorn', 'Hocus Pocus'). Hell, even Fleetwood Mac came up trumps with 'Albatross'.
“But then... some time in the mid-70s...it all seemed to...Stop....
“And summer was never the same again.”
Hank B. Decapus
 

AND NOW THE FIVE
The Five have sprung up, somewhat phoenix-like, to single-handedly revive the tradition of the Great Instrumental Hit Of Summer on their debut (and farewell) disc. Not one, not two, not three... but FIVE tunes worthy of the title on one shiny black 7” disc.
Did we just say “shiny black 7” disc”? Hell yeah - this record is on 7” vinyl: just as The Good Lord always intended it! Just like back in the heyday of the Great Instrumental Hit of Summer.
OK – after some soul-searching, we decided to extend the love to you non-turntable owners as well – so along with every 7” we will also include one of those 5” silver things. But rest assured you cannot get hold of this release without getting your hands all sweaty over a lovely slice of vinyl.
SHINY?
BLACK?
7”?
DISC?
WHO THE HELL DO WE THINK WE ARE?
Ever wonder whatever happened to the members of Full Fathom Five, The Mercy Bell, and Crop Circles? No... thought not.
But we are The Five : 5 men, 5 gigs, one 5-track disc.
Then OBLIVION!

SKIPPING GIRL VINEGAR GIVEAWAY - 2 DOUBLE PASSES TO SYDNEY SHOW!

Announcing new single ‘One Long Week’

 

Broke, worn out and exhausted, Skipping Girl Vinegar crawled into the studio with their hobos in tow in the week before Christmas 09 to record their new single ‘One Long Week’, the first release from what will be part of their follow-up sophomore album. Working with Melbourne indie producer Nick Huggins (Kid Sam, Seagull, Whitley) and Greg Arnold, the band have ventured into new territories whilst retaining their organic hobo pop aesthetic, uncovering a dark and overwhelming melodic classic.

 

Mixed in January 2010 in Nashville by American indie legend Brad Jones (Josh Rouse, Bob Evans), who mixed SGV’s debut album, the new single ‘One Long Week’ uncovers the whirlwind of the previous year of endless independent touring and the release of their acclaimed debut album ‘Sift The Noise’.

 

After returning from Nashville in February 09, SGV hit the road running and found themselves stumbling into a shopping centre overwhelmed by the presence of a giant polyurethane reindeer that hailed the arrival of December, and its associated Christmas paraphernalia. With this came the realisation that an entire year had slipped into the vortex of what had felt like one long week.

 

‘One Long Week’ Tour

 

Surfacing from the studio, refreshed from the summer break and a cracking set at the Pyramid Rock Festival, Skipping Girl Vinegar are gearing up to head out on the indie highway on an east coast tour to celebrate the release of their new single ‘One Long Week’. Be sure to gather into the ivy covered woodland set and experience Skipping Girl Vinegar perform new songs from their eagerly anticipated second album, as well as old favourites from Sift The Noise.

 

I HAVE 2 X DOUBLE PASSES - DOOR SPOTS ACTUALLY - TO THE FOLLOWING SHOW - THE FIRST TWO PEOPLE TO EMAIL ME (SEE PROFILE) WITH "SGV GIVEAWAY" IN THE SUBJECT HEADER, HAVE GOT THEM. CLOSING DATE - TUESDAY 16 FEB.

Dave Kusworth- SAMPLERS

Inspired by the raw power of the Stooges and the glam rock excess of the New York Dolls, Birmingham, England, native Dave Kusworth formed his first band (TV Eye) at the age of 16. Since then, the versatile singer/songwriter/guitarist has done time in the Hawks, Dogs D'Amour, the Jacobites (with ex-Swell Maps mastermind Nikki Sudden), the Bounty Hunters, and the Tenderhooks, as well as his own Dave Kusworth Group. His songs, gutter-bound tales of rock & roll heartache that bring to mind the Faces and the Rolling Stones, have been covered by Evan Dando and Mercury Rev and feted by the likes of Tom Waits, Chuck Prophet, and Peter Buck.

"The guitars are loud, deliberate and raw, sometimes spare and sweet, he deserves success of course."
Jeff Pike, reflex, USA

"Dave's voice is one of the purest in Rock 'n' Roll."
Nina Antonia, biographer- Johnny Thunders, New York Dolls, Peter Perrett, Brett Smiley

"Kusworth's songs, vignettes of rape, murder and desolation, brilliantly transmit a Dickensian pallor to the subways and corner shops of Birmingham."
Robin Gibson

"Ringing guitars with an upfront, punkish approach to matters of the heart."
Ian Cranna, Q

"He's mine and Alan McGee's and Bobby Gillespie's favourite songwriter and he has never really had much recognition. If you ask some American bands, they'll say 'Oh, dave Kusworth, he's brilliant!'
Joe Foster, Co-founder, Creation records, NME

"Classic English rock with guitars in the tradition of Ron Wood and Mick Ronson. It's clear that Dave has found a fine band and the perfect setting for his songs"
Max Decharne, MOJO, 2004

DAVE KUSWORTH - The Bounty Hunters (SAMPLER)

TRACKS:
1-riches to rags
2-a very good wife
3-orphan (all his life)
4-a puppeteers son

HERE



Dave Kusworth lay low a while after leaving the Jacobites in mid-'86, spending his time recording a solo album (also credited to the Bounty Hunters, a quartet he led) which was released the following year. Marriage is on Dave's mind on The Bounty Hunters, as several of the songs — which interlock to form a long, vague romantic narrative — make reference to weddings, rings, wives and other such symptoms of betrothal. Showing an affinity for the folky side of Johnny Thunders, Kusworth's thin voice is no dynamic instrument, but it serves the material, as do the energetic arrangements of acoustic guitar and electric rock rhythms.

"Threads A tear stained scar" furthers Kusworth's quest for beauty in the underbelly. With the addition of a bevy of pastoral instruments (ranging from pocket trumpet to harpsichord), much of the material is redolent of that particular time in late-'60s/early-'70s Britain when debauchery gave way to rusticity (à la Led Zep II crossed with Blind Faith). Then again, the volume-heavy stuff could pass for Black Crowes outtakes, so go figure.

The Loyalties - So Much For Soho (SAMPLER)

Although they only formed in 2006, The Loyalties have a rich musical history seated in some of the best underground punk and rock'n'roll bands of the last 10 years. Guitarists Tom Spencer and Rich Jones first met 6 years ago while touring in the US as Sub Pop labelmates (in The Yo-Yo's and The Black Halos respectively). It wasn't until 2005 though that they joined forces in a new version of The Yo-Yo's along with Cherrykicks drummer Craig Herdman. In the meantime, CC Voltage had been playing as a member of The Spitfires, releasing albums on labels like Junk Records and Estrus and writing his own songs (as well as playing a few gigs and festivals as a Black Halo), Tom had been playing with The Lurkers and his own band Fastlane Roogalator, and Rich had been touring with Amen and former Atari Teenage Riot frontman Alec Empire. Band whores, all of them!After the Yo-Yo's exploded mid-tour at the end of 2005, Rich, Tom and Craig decided to focus their energies on forming something new. Writing began and in the meantime Tom and Rich filled their time as guitarists with The Dogs D'Amour. In June 2006 the band came together to record their first 4 song demo at London's Enterprise Studios. Upon it's release the initial pressing sold out within days and the band hit Germany and Italy for their first shows. Late 2006 the band released the One Take Wonders mini-album which has been the Number One selling title at the Fading Ways Music Store ever since.Now with newest member Lee Jones formerly of Deadline joining the ranks, the band are heading into the studio to record their debut album. Look for this and a split single with Radio Dead Ones to come out coinciding with a UK tour in Late 2007

Rubber City Rebels - Rubber City Rebels (SAMPLER)

The Rubber City Rebels are an American protopunk band from Akron, Ohio, that formed in 1976.

The original line-up of the band consisted of Rod Firestone (vocals), Buzz Clic (guitar), Donny Damage (bass), Stix Pelton (drums) and Pete Sake (keyboards).

In their early years, the Rebels were fans (and friends) of fellow Greater Cleveland-area bands The Dead Boys and Devo. Their breakout show was opening for The Dead Boys at legendary New York City rock club CBGB in 1977. This led to a split EP with The Bizarros, entitled From Akron, which was released that year. Firestone and Clic would go on to open the Crypt in Akron, at the time the only punk rock club in the Midwest. Bands including The Dead Boys, Devo, Pere Ubu and the Bizarros played at this club.

The Rebels moved to Los Angeles in 1978, minus Pelton (who was replaced on drums by Mike Hammer) and Sake (keyboards were deemed unnecessary for the band's change to a "heavier" sound), and gained considerable fame on the Sunset Strip. They would frequently headline at the famous Whisky A Go-Go for bands such as The Knack, Fear, The Kats, The Nu Kats, The Dickies and The Plimsouls. The band was signed to Sire Records in exclusive company like The Ramones, however a clash between band and record label ensued and the recording contract was terminated before the Rebels could record their debut album.

Following some personnel changes in the band (Damage and Hammer left, replaced by Johnny Bethesda and Brandon Matheson respectively), the Rebels signed a deal with Capitol Records helped in no small way by Doug Fieger, lead singer of The Knack (who were also signed to Capitol) and a self-professed fan of the band. Matheson and Fieger had previously been members of The Sunset Bombers and had one album released on Ariola Records. The Rebels debut, self-titled album was released in 1980. Although praised by critics, sales of the album never vaulted the band past its underground status and they did not follow up with a second release.

They can be seen in the 1982 movie "Tag: The Assassination Game" [1] near the end, playing a show behind the curtains in the theatre. Linda Hamilton's character runs through the crowd at the show attempting to escape from a pursuer. The songs "Born Dead" and "Rebel to the Rescue" are credited to them in the movie.

The Rebels faded from the scene and ceased touring in 1988, although they never officially disbanded.

THE REDUCERS- 4 SAMPLER PACKS!!!

Roaring their way out of the boring landscape that is New London, CT, the Reducers were one of the great underrated bands of the '80s. The band recorded, in just under two years, three albums of punk- and pub rock-inspired rowdy rock & roll, chock-full of wiseass ruminations on life and love. The Reducers were post-punks with a formalist approach to rock & roll: two guitars, bass, and drums that echoed mid-'60s British Invasion and American garage rock. What made them different from the average retro-rock bar band was being hip, funny, and smarter-than-most; plus having two ace songwriters in Hugh Birdsall and Peter Detmold, who wrote wry and comically desperate songs like "Let's Go" ("Let's go to London/where all the music's good/Let's go to Paris/they've got a lot of nice food"), "Rocks" (as in "New London hardly ever"), and the brilliant "Maximum Depression." Ultimately, what may have sunk the Reducers, or at the very least limited the breadth of their audience, was their almost willful lack of pretension. There were absolutely no gimmicks, false pretenses towards stardom, or slick attitude; they were the real deal, working-class guys who played rock & roll because it meant the hope of a better life and (maybe) a ticket out of New London. This fire and determination, while not making them stars, made even their weakest songs still sound like they meant it. The title of their third album, Cruise to Nowhere, was unintentionally prophetic, as the band slipped into a crack in the earth by the end of 1986. A CD compilation of their "greatest hits" was released in the early '90s, but all three Reducers albums belong in the home of any self-respecting rock fan who shares an affinity for Dr. Feelgood, the Sex Pistols, and ? and the Mysterians, and lives in a place like New London. ~ John Dougan, All Music Guide


The Reducers combine punky attitude with classic Rock 'n Roll sensibilities.

A longtime fixture in New London, Connecticut, the Reducers (whose existence caused a California punk group to dub itself Reducers SF) soak up influences — Chuck Berry, Anglo-pop, pub rock, glam, punk and more — and reconfigure them into punchy, catchy tunes. On the politely energetic debut, the everyone-sings-everyone-writes quartet offers social critique and consumer culture in the worshipful "Black Plastic Shoes," the bitter "Life in the Neighborhood" and the politically paranoid "Scared of Cops." The title track of the better-produced "Let's Go!" is a great traveling number with a catchy, urgent chorus; the rest of the LP is enthusiastic and lyrically acute. Over a churning R&B vamp on "Bums I Used to Know," the band chides itself for "this honky imitation of the blues." Trouser Press

Cruise To Nowhere was the result of two weeks in the studio with a handful of songs, some finished, most unfinished and some unwritten. The resulting LP was surprisingly consistent given the haphazard nature of the recording, and college radio once again picked up on the album's standout track "Fistfight at the Beach." Another regional tour followed, and the wear and tear of the road soon shown its strain on the boys from New London.

"Guitars, Bass & Drums". Thirty years after getting together, the Reducers are now at their peak. They've never sang better, played better, or sounded so good. Producer Richard Brukner provides clarity and crispness that was missing from previous albums. You can hear the vocals and what they're saying, and they sound tight and professional. As always, they write original material that reflects their 70's British favorites such as The Jam and Rockpile - but have added some power pop to their established punk/pub rock sound. They've become a crack unit, capable of playing anything. Every song is great (to see the track list, look this up under MP3 downloads). I liked previous records a lot, but I love this one.

STACE ENGLAND AND THE SALT KINGS - The Amazing Oscar Micheaux Sampler

 (watch Micheaux film clips with CD tracks)

"Their show is remarkable.  I knew of Oscar Micheaux but not the full scope of his legacy.  Every American needs to hear this story." - GIANCARLO ESPOSITO, ACTOR/DIRECTOR (THE USUAL SUSPECTS, DO THE RIGHT THING, GOSPEL HILL)


“I am now a fan of this band." - HILLARD ELKINGS, PRODUCER (ALICE’S RESTAURANT, AMERICAN PLAYHOUSE, STEVE McQUEEN: THE ESSENCE OF COOL)


“No one on earth is making more important and interesting records today than Stace England." - JASON RINGENBERG, JASON AND THE SCORCHERS


 “Stace England and The Salt Kings presented a universally lauded feature at The Rome International Film Festival's 2009 edition.  It will delight audiences everywhere it is performed.” - HARRY MUSSELWHITE, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR


Best known for the critically acclaimed Greetings From Cairo, Illinois, Stace England lives near the village of Cobden in southern Illinois in a region known as “Little Egypt.” In 2005 he emerged as an intriguing geographical yang to Sufjan Stevens’ yin. “Greetings” told the tragic story of Cairo, a once booming river town in heartbreaking decline straddling the American North and South at the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. Live performances featured extensive multimedia, culminating in a headlining performance at the Crossing Border Festival in The Hague, documentaries in the US and Europe and stellar press on both sides of the Atlantic.


Stace England & The Salt Kings now illuminate the legend of Oscar Micheaux. His astonishing story sounds like the stuff of myth and legend but it is all true. The first African American feature filmmaker was born in Metropolis, Illinois, homesteaded in South Dakota, published seven novels and wrote, produced and directed forty four films between 1919 and 1948. Audiences were stunned by his jaw dropping push backs to The Birth of a Nation leading many to ask, “just what impetuous planet was this man from, and how did he pull it off?”


Rediscoveries of lost Micheaux films in Europe including Within Our Gates and The Symbol of the Unconquered, his extraordinary counters to The Birth of a Nation, have re-written film history in the last decade.   


Micheaux is best known to his growing circle of admirers for his uncompromising vision and his unflinching mission to take on difficult subject matter, no matter what. Staying one step ahead of his creditors he made the films he wanted to make. Micheaux angered as many African Americans as whites, and his sound era masterpiece, God's Stepchildren released in 1938, was picketed by the Communist Party at a showing in Harlem as a "racist" movie.  His unlikely story is both inspirational and transcendent.


In addition to a twelve song music CD Stace England & The Salt Kings’ approach to Micheaux'’s story includes multimedia live performances featuring projections of clips of available films and live performances with an original score to the film Within Our Gates. Film clips in their multimedia show include scenes from Within Our Gates, The Symbol of the Unconquered, Body and Soul, The Exile, Veiled Aristocrats, The Girl From Chicago, God’s Stepchildren and Lying Lips.

Hitmen-It Is What It Is (SAMPLER)

The Hitmen were originally an outgrowth of Radio Birdman, with most of its membership passing through the ranks of what was originally a party band.Their all-enduring member was frontman Johnny Kannis, whose Greek-Australian lineage didn’t preclude him from being a descendant of the Dictators’ Handsome Dick Manitoba and Elvis Presley. He leaned his stagecraft as Radio Birdman’s Master of Ceremonies and one-half of their back-up singers The Glutonics. The other constant in all but one post-Birdman Hitmen line-up was Chris “Klondike” Masuak, a Canadian-born teenage schoolmate of Kannis and close spiritual guitar kin of James Williamson and Ross the Boss.

Johnny and The Hitmen became The Hitmen soon after Birdman collapsed in on itself, reaching well beyond the radiitonal inner-Sydney haunts and staking a claim for the hearts, minds and dancing shoes of suburbia. With high-energy music breaking out all over Australia, The Hitmen became big business, signing to a major label and becoming part of “the industry”. Just the sort of behaviour to burn bridges with fickle inner-city fair-weather friends.Carrying themselves with a swagger born of near fanatical self-belief and arrogantly brushing aside any detractor or musical pretenders deemed to be not up to the mark, The Hitmen were impossible to ignore.

Shifting line-ups and a music business that didn’t know what to do with their derivative but always entertaining stock-in-trade meant The Hitmen never quite broke through to the big time. They were a band that packed ‘em in live but their albums (”The Hitmen”, “It Is What It Is” and “Moronic Inferno” in the studio, “Tora Tora DTK” live) never did the proportionate numbers in sales. Nevertheless, scores of beer and testosterone-fuelled Aussie youths grew up with the hard rock soundtrack that The Hitmen provided ringing in their ears, and discovered some fine music in the deal.

A near fatal car accident in 1983 all but buried Johnny Kannis and the band in the process, but for more than a decade, off-and-on, The Hitmen carried a torch for hi-energy fun. Kannis’ injuries hampered his on-stage activities to the extent that he mostly moved into band management. A farewell tour and the occasional re-emergence (with the appendage “DTK” to the band name, to avoid an overseas copyright clash) kept things simmering into the mid-’90s, when Kannis’ move interstate took the wind out of the sails. Rumblings of a reunion tour have been constant.

New Model Army- Thunder and Consolation (SAMPLER)

Thunder and Consolation was released in 1989 and is the fourth studio album of British rock band New Model Army. The album stands as a landmark in the New Model Army-catalogue, being their most successful album to date and reaching #20 in the UK albums chart. It also saw the band gaining new musical grounds as they adopted a more folky sound with the assistance of violinist Ed Alleyne-Johnson. It was produced by Tom Dowd and the band.

This was also the last album on which Jason 'Moose' Harris would play bass. He was subsequently replaced by Nelson on the band's next studio album, Impurity (1990).

The title of the album was taken from 17th century British Quaker, Edward Burrough, whose collected works, which were posthumously released in 1663, were entitled The Memorable Works of a Son of Thunder and Consolation.

The album was originally released as a 10-track LP and cassette in 1989 containing the tracks "I Love the World", "Stupid Questions", "225", "Inheritance", "Green and Grey", "Ballad of Bodmin Pill", "Family", "Family Life", "Vagabonds" and "Archway Towers". The cassette had an extra track, "125 MPH".

The CD version of the album was released at the same time with the extra tracks "The Charge", "Chinese Whispers" and "White Coats", which were taken from the New Model Army EP (1987), and the track "Nothing Touches", which was the B-side of the single "Stupid Questions" (1989). An unlisted track, "Mermaid Song" was also included.

In 2005 the album was remastered and reissued with the original LP tracks on one disc and including an extra disc containing the original CD's extra tracks along with rarities, B-sides and live tracks.

Nikki Sudden- R.I.P

Nikki Sudden (19 July 1956 – 26 March 2006) was a prolific English singer-songwriter and guitarist. He co-founded the post-punk band Swell Maps with his brother Epic Soundtracks (born Kevin Paul Godfrey) while attending Solihull School in Solihul

Following the band's break-up in 1980, he started a solo career, as well as releasing records with Dave Kusworth as the Jacobites. Kusworth had been a member of the Dogs D'Amour and led his own band, The Bounty Hunters.

Sudden's influences included bands such as T.Rex, The Rolling Stones and Johnny Thunders. He also collaborated with, among others, Mike Scott and Anthony Thistlethwaite of The Waterboys, Jeff Tweedy of Wilco, members of Sonic Youth, Mick Taylor of The Rolling Stones, Rowland S. Howard, Ian McLagan of Small Faces and The Faces, members of R.E.M., Phil Shoenfelt and Al DeLoner of Midnight Choir. The Jacobites' tune "Pin Your Heart" was covered on The Lemonheads' 1997 single "The Outdoor Type".

Sudden also wrote for a number of music magazines, such as Spex, INTRO, Mojo and Bucketful of Brains. At the time of his unexpected death, he was writing his autobiography, as well as a history of the Wick (an estate in Richmond once owned by Ronnie Wood, currently owned by Pete Townshend), and was due to perform in London on the 29th of March.

Nikki Sudden died of a drug overdose after a concert in New York City.

ROCK N ROLL WHORE!!

Rezurex- 2 SAMPLERS!!!

Clearly Rezurex has risen from the grave and awaken the dead. A refreshing style of musical mayhem that stands alone in the current music scene, Rezurex brings back the roots of early 1950’s rock n’ roll and combines them with influences of the 1980’s that have long since been forgotten by mainstream music.

Rezurex hails from Los Angeles, California, and is influenced by numerous bands and artists including the Stray Cats, The Damned, Billy Idol, The Misfits, Elvis Presley, and The Cramps. They have attracted numerous fans with their haunting lyrics and adventurous spirit. In 2006, Rezurex released their debut album, “Beyond the Grave” on Fiend Force Records (Germany) and quickly caught the attention of Psychobillies, Punks, Goths, Metal heads, and anyone that truly loves catchy sing-along music.

In 2008, Rezurex released their second album “Psycho Radio.” The 13 songs found on Psycho Radio include the heartbreaking "Tonight", a melodic punk psycho anthem entitled "Psycho Radio" and “Vampira Calling”, a tribute song to the late, great, 1950’s television undead hostess, Vampira who passed away in January 2008. In addition , vocalist Daniel deLeon, who has already been recognized for his previous bands, has begun an acting career in television and independent films. This world-touring band keeps busy entertaining audiences with their theatrics and energetic performances year round. Not a show to miss, Rezurex has converted many with their unique sound and stage presence.



The Psychobilly-scene has new darlings! The REZUREX are already now being called the next-big-thing since Tiger Army. No wonder really, since three of the four band-members also lend their talent to Psycho-Supergroups Tiger Army and Nekromantix, while singer Daniel deLeon has a background in The Deep Eynde, Calavera and the reunited Deathrock-legends 45Grave and has been on TV and the movie-screen many times, his last appearance being in “Day of the Dead 2”. The Rezurex have played support tours for Nekromantix, Demented Are Go!, Mad Sin and have headlined dozens of sold-out shows in the US already this year. After just returning from a successful tour of Japan, the band now sets out on their second trip to Europe! These Horror-Billies are the next big thing in the scene! Be prepared…
