„Szeretem elkapni a hullámot és ütni egy hatalmasat”

Nagyon kevés zenekar képes megérinteni. Kiváltani belőlem az üdvözültek mosolyát, és ezt a három szót: igen, ez AZ. Nem kell, hogy mestereik legyenek hangszereiknek, a lényeg, hogy legyen bennük az a kis plusz, ami nélkül legfeljebb közepes lehet bármi.

A JACKSON POLLOCK-kal véletlenül találkoztam. Unalmamban elmentem valami kis egy napos fesztiválra unatkozni, egészen addig a percig, míg színpadra nem léptek. Zenéjük első, sőt sokadik hallásra is, valami elbaszott nyers noise rock-szerűség. Viszont rengeteg mindent lehet felfedezni benne, és közben szemed le nem tudod venni Emilyről, a dobosról, és fogod mondani: Úristen, mit művel ez a nő!!!

És nem érted, miért pont egy absztrakt expresszionista festőről nevezték el magukat. Hát azért, mert Pollock pontosan úgy festett, ahogy Emily dobol, testének teljes erejével. És Pollock gyakran táncolt is festés közben, és ecset helyett pálcákat is használt. Képei első ránézésre olyanok, hogy naponta két ilyet festesz, miközben semmi gondod nem lenne az életben, ha egy eredeti lógna faladon. Ahogy a festő, úgy a róla elnevezett duó is megosztja a közönséget. A szigorú műítészek biztos borzadnának hallatán, de azért például az Obliviansnak megfeleltek bemelegítőnek olasz turnéjuk során. MÁRCIUS 11-ÉN BUDAPESTEN lépnek fel. Minek kapcsán feltettem pár kérdést, ami eszembe jutott:

RNR666 – Annyi hangszer közül, miért pont a dobot választottad?

Emily The Drunkard – Hát az úgy volt, hogy a dobos, aki megígérte, hogy próbál velünk, nem jött el. Ahogy várakoztunk, megpillantottam a szemetesben egy pár dobverőt. Kivettem, leültem a dobok mögé, játszani kezdtem és nagyon élveztem.

– Rengeteg dobost láttam már, de olyat, mint te, még soha. Amit dobolás címen művelsz, az rendkívüli. Milyen hatások formálták játékstílusod és kik a kedvenc dobosaid?
– Bruce Lee. Remek dobos válhatott volna belőle. Egyébként sosem tanultam dobolni, ez csak úgy jön belőlem. Szeretem elkapni a hullámot és ütni egy hatalmasat.

– Olyan erővel ütsz oda, hogy meg kell kérdeznem, mennyi bőrt és dobverőt használsz el évente?
– Bőrt nem sokat, dobverőt viszont rengeteget, azért is, mert általában a legolcsóbbat vásárlom.

– Hogyan születnek dalaitok?
– Gitár riffekből. Ezek általában a kanapén heverve születnek. Aztán lemegyünk a garázsba és a többit kitomboljuk magunkból.

– Sok mindent vélek felfedezni zenétekben, például kraut rockot vagy a hatvanas évek garázs rockját. Mi az igazság? Milyen zenék hatottak rátok, mi az, ami inspirál?
– A legjobb, amikor véletlen meghallunk egy dalt, ami elkap és magával ragad, ami száz százalékig személyes és kendőzetlenül őszinte. Akiket a legjobban szeretünk:  Sonic Youth, No Age, CAN, Janis Joplin, Lighting Bolt, The Horrors (the garage band from US, not the emo guys!), Ramones, Le Belve, Zeus! A kedvenc dalom, amit a végtelenségig bírok hallgatni, az Abba Zaba Captain Beefhearttól. Na az mindent visz.

– Teljesen egyértelmű volt, hogy a zenekar neve nem lehet más, mint The Jackson Pollock?
– Kedves kérdés. Talán.

Ha valakinek lenne még kérdése, március 11-én este felteheti.

A koncert – ahol fellép még PIRESIAN BEACH – felejthetetlen élmény lesz: sötét, hipnotikus kezdés után, könnyed agyszétverés. Másnap frissen és vidáman ébredsz. Kivéve, ha nagyon berúgtál. De mindenképp hálát fogsz adni magadnak, hogy milyen jó, hogy ott voltál.

 

LIVE TECHNO POWER TRIO

A dob-gitár-basszusgitár felállású osztrák trió, az ELEKTRO GUZZI, a világ egyik legkülönlegesebb techno együttese.

2004-ben alakultak, de csak öt év múlva mentek stúdióba, hogy felvegyék első lemezüket, viszont már ezt megelőzően is olyan ismertségre tettek szert, hogy meghívták őket a kreativitás és legújabb technológia jegyében rendezett barcelonai Sónar Fesztiválra. A techno világ középének számító berlini Berghain klubban is felléptek, sőt még egy japán turnét is lenyomtak anélkül, hogy bármiféle felvételük megjelent volna. Akik véletlenül tévedtek be koncertjeikre nehezen hitték el, hogy ott az a három ember azokon a hangszereken élőben játssza ezt a teljesen elektronikusnak tűnő muzsikát. Ott az a három ember – mint jazz zenész – meg kezdetben azon az eddig számukra ismeretlen jelenségen döbbent meg, hogy milyen hatalmas energia szabadul fel egy táncoló tömegből, s hogy ennek mekkora hatása van arra, ahogy játszanak. És „most mindenki táncol” nélkül nincs ELEKTRO GUZZI koncert.

FEBRUÁR 9-én BUDAPESTEN az A38-on

 

Polybrass című új lemezüket mutatják be három rézfúvóssal kiegészülve. Jó lesz:

PICS FROM LONDON SHOW

Rough Sex with Pure Heart – Vagina Town Interview

On the 10th birthday party of RNR666 there will be a French ultrafuckin’hot rock’n’roll band, VAGINA TOWN.  They’re so amazing like The Cramps.

post_vagina_band

Lavór: How did you got together?

Jeremie: Gina and I met in high school at respectively 17 and 15 in 98. We got together something like a year after and kept being stuck after each other ever since. We started to play music in bands in 2007. Vagina Town started has a duo beatbox bass guitar in 2009. We’ve been playing trio from 2010 to 2011. Then the band has been in stand by, until we started all over again in 2013 has a four pieces with Patou (drummer), and Rachouchou (keyboards).

Szabó: What represent your name?

We found that name during the first days of the band. It could have been Ravachol Crack* or Sex Minute. We were much more in some high speed energy at the time. Beat box guitar wolf…  Anyway, we caught „Vagina Town” by watching an episode of Californication. Which is not a so funny series in my opinion…  But some good jokes I admit.  „Vagina Town” is also a real porn movie shot in the 90’s .

Now, talking about the band, Vagina Town can represent sex, energy, energy of sex… repressed and just about to blow everything up if you don’t let it out. Or having rough sex with a pure heart. … I’m not really sure actually.

*Ravachol (1859-92) was a French anarchist. He tried to make a better world with bombs. After some experiments he lost his head.

vagina_jeremi_head

Zsófi: How often do you get joking questions about the influence of cramps on vagina…. town?

Not so much, because in France people are quite lousy at speaking foreign languages. So if you’re lucky enough to meet someone listening to the Cramps, he’s maybe not totally aware of the meaning of it. But we got many many comparison with them. Whereas I don’t think our music sounds like the Cramps. We love the Cramps for a long time. But we also love …. the Beatles (and know every songs) for example. Patou and I are listening to a lot of old rnb soul stuff… And many more things combined…

I think our Cramps thing is… in the clothes, girls playing music, some live energy and the sex references. We had the luck to see them once, performing in Brussels in 2003. I’m dreaming one day Poison Ivy would lend a hand on a Vagina record!!!

Lavór: Is it sexism or not if a band has boy and girl members too?

Jeremie: I’m not sure to understand the question. There’s probably some sexist attitudes in the band, it depends a lot of what you call sexism. I like to think we’re just people playing music. But I really like to play music with THESE special girls.

vagina_gina

Gina: I don’t feel any sexist attitudes in the band. But sexism appears more often during the shows in the public or among the other bands we are playing with. I like to play with girls, I had a few girl bands, but it’s not my main concern to play with girls only.

Lavór: 1st is the Sex, 2nd the Drugs, 3rd is the Rockandroll. Is this proper order?

Jeremie: Sex 1, Rock n roll 2, Drugs 3 for all of us. As drug is an upper for exploring other things, or a way to stand the world. As you know, drugs can be very destructive and leading to poorness and diseases. So drugs! Yes!  But as an improvement of something. I’m not so excited about taking legal happy pills, working in an oxygen factory in 2072. Luckily, I’ll be death by drugs then.

What’s your opinion about the legalization of ecstasy and MDMA?

I’m not sure I’m pro or anti drug legalization. As I told you about drugs before: what are you looking for by taking drugs? When you’re depressed, poor, if you got any problems… drugs won’t solve any of them. But drugs do feel fucking good. So yes if legalization means: avoiding cops, jail, money problems, providing state care… If it’s about taking money from the drug dealers to offer the market to big companies of the (not always)legal economy, with the same cynicism: it’s not a matter of excitement. But boy, I love so much to listen to music, watch gigs on MDMA!

Saul Conrad In Europe & Budapest Again!

 

The American musician Saul Conrad plays “hard to categorize”, perhaps “experimental chamber pop”  or “other” bittersweet music on piano and guitar with surprising key changes, nonsensical rhythmic shifts, overlapping melodies, and folk elements. His third album (read about!) – which is more popular than previous two (listen to!) – was influenced by Kirkegaard and William Blake, Townes van Zandt and Blaze Foley, Harry Nilsson and Syd Barret, and more. But essentially his music based on his affection for music of Mozart, Chopin or Mahler.

The Brutal Blues

Some people say: it’s Howlin’ Wolf with Venom, others say: just like The Stooges, Dead Kennedys or AC/DC.

„We’re just playing blues. Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil at the cross of road 61 and 45 in Clarksdale. We have contracted with him at the corner of Fleminginkatu and  Vaasankatu in Helsinki. We’re in Robert’s league.” As guitarist Robert Johnson made the biggest impression on blues music.

BLACK MAGIC SIX INTERVIEW

bm6_duo

RNR666: When, where and WHY did BM6 form?
Yukka (g/v): Black Magic Six was found 2006, but we count our birthday form the first gig 14.2.2007 in Chemnitz.

Why we put up the band?
Maybe we were just bored, hehehe.

I heard originally a lot more people were going to play in the band. Would the band’s name really have been J- Tan & the Black Magic Six? And so would there have been seven of you in the band? How did you finally become a duo?
That´s true. Originally we had some dudes from Damn Seagulls, The Mutants and Disgrace playing in rehearsals, but pretty soon we realized non of these guys came to rehearsals. Then there was just me and Japandeer in rehearsal room. I went to local music store and bought distortion pedal and octabass pedal and the sound of BM6 was there.

Jukka, what’s the deal with your other band, the Disgrace? I found an issue of the Hungarian Metal Hammer zine from 91 or 92, and they were already writing about you! (They also wrote about Japa’s old band’s – Sweetheart – demo at about the same time)
Well, I started playing heavy metal when I was kid late 80s. We played grindcore & death metal couple of years and got bored pretty soon. We started to play straight punkrock until last year. The band ceased all activities January 2015.

This is the seventh time you are visiting Hungary, and you are playing here since your first album. How did you get to know people here?
We were counting sixth time, but you are probably right, ´cos we are old sods and it´s hard to remember what happened yesterday. The basic reason for our tourin’ was Myspace. When we put our music there 2006-2007 we got shit loads of response all over the world – also Pali from Hungary. People asked us to play all over the world, so we did – and still do that, even though Myspace is pretty dead.

What is the first thing that comes to your mind about Hungary? If I am not mistaken, besides Budapest you also played in Debrecen, Szolnok and Miskolc.
We haven´t played Debrecen yet, but gonna do that this Friday. First thing coming my mind from Hungary is the venue in Miskolc and how the guys did the load into the venue. It was in basement, there was a window about three meters high from the floor – and this tall guy took shaky ladder, and guys upstairs gave him big Marshall cabinets thru window – and this dude single handed took Marshalls in his lap, on shaky ladder and took them down one by one. That was scary shit…

You know Hungary pretty well (besides the region west of the Danube). How were these gigs outside of the capital?
Loved to play in Szolnok and Miskolc. Especially Tomi Pub from Szolnok is always in our hearts. Friendly people, good atmosphere, drunk and having a hell of a party!

You have a song called “Imre you are a punk’”about Imre Antal (RIP), the unforgettable Hungarian TV personality. What is the story behind this – how does a Finnish band know about Imre Antal?
