psychedelic rock and roll dub blues punk cult band

a svájci ROY & THE DEVIL’S MOTORCYCLE Budapesten

régi poros blues lemezek, gospel, koszos garázs rock, és olyan pszichedelikus rockzenekarok, mint a Spacemen 3, vagy a 13th Floor Elevator a fő hatások

újabban dub technikát is használnak, akár még reggaenek nevezhető számuk is van, első lemezük viszont nagyon punkos, nekem az a kedvencem

olyanokkal koncerteztek, mint Acid Mothers Temple, Sonic Boom/Spectrum, Black Lips, Disappears, Strange Boys, Psychic TV, Martin Rev (Suicide) vagy Spiritualized

Szeptember 23-án, 25-én és 26-án az RNR666 és barátiköre újra odabasz! A péntektől, kis megszakítással, hétfő estig tartó pankrokkenroll buliban ott lesznek az ország pankrakkenroll-szcénájának legifjabb és a világ pankrakennrol-szcénájának leghírhedtebb képviselői egyaránt.

E L S Ő K É N T egy újkeletű együttműködés jegyében, a csodálatos GÓLYA klubbal karöltve rendezzük meg az RNR666 meets GÓLYA-sorozat első részét.

Az estét a THE BEANS pimasz kölykei nyitják, akiket a RAKÉTA fesztiválon volt szerencsém látni, hallani és egyből megkedvelni. A KINKS korai évei épp úgy eszembe jutnak, mint a JON SPENCER BLUES EXPLOISON vad pillanatai – mármint a koncertjükről és nem a még kissé túl sterilre kevert hangzóanyagjukról. No, de sebaj, színpadra állva rögtön kinövik ezt a gyerekbetegséget, vagyis: élőben kell őket megnézni, de azért biztos ami biztos, nyomjatok rá az alábbi lejátszóra is párszor!

Ezután lépnek fel örök kedvenceink, az RNR666 színpadán már jó párszor megfordult GUSTAVE TIGER zenekar. Sajnos és szerencsére ők már híresebbek, mint az Alsószentmártoni Krisztus, ez a teher azonban nem befolyásolja Gusztávékat: koncertjeik épp olyan durván agybaszóak, mint mikor először láttam őket a RETEK KLUB nemlétező színpadán 1763-ban.

Péntek lévén, a bulinak persze nem lesz vége a koncertek után: a zajos hangulat fenntartása érdekében a CYST records párosa, Lili és Bence áll az mp3 lejátszó mögé, kiegészülve egy hülye kopasszal.

M Á S O D I K bulink vasárnap KORAeste kezdődik, a Gólyától néhány kilométerrel nyugatabbra, a Mikszáth téri TRAFIK klubban, ahol hosszú hallgatás után újra színpadra lép majd a SZENTCSALÁD ORAL ORCHESTRA.

Majd a világ egyik legfaszább one-man-band-je, a szörnyűséges JOE BUCK YOURSELF következik, aki egyenesen a south gyomrából érkezik közénk, hogy megmutassa, hogy hogyan is mulat(tat) egy valódi, skizofrén vadállat redneck.

V É G Ü L de kibaszottul nem utolsó sorban, Csühes Pali kedvenc VOODOO RHYTHM recordos zenekara, a ROY AND THE DEVIL’S MOTORCYCLE lép a színre – szintén a TRAFIKban, de ez már nem vasárnap, hanem HÉTFŐ!

Ez a banda olyan kibaszott jófej, hogy megelégszenek a kapuból befolyó pénzzel, szóval, hiába a három napos szétbaszódás, gyertek, fizessetek nekik és élvezkedjetek rajtuk: kifulladásig!

A bulikról és a fellépő zenekarokról részletesen az eventekben olvashattok!

We have been waiting for 11 years for this day: 26 SEPT 2016

Swiss psych garage blues rock and roll cult band
ROY AND THE DEVIL’S MOTORCYCLE
in BUDAPEST at RNR666 PARTY!

The band was founded 25 years back by three countryside brothers after they went to a Spacemen 3 show in the nearby big city. Their music is distorted rock and roll of the 50-60 years with a big spoon blues and dub technique in highly psychedelic manner. They’ ve only released 3 three albums on Voodoo Rhythm Records. In 2014 they made music for a documentary Tino – Frozen Angel about legendary Swiss counter-culture hero Martin „Tino” Schippert (1946-81), who was the president of Swiss chapter of Hell’s Angels. Because of a rape the Angels became a target of prosecution, he escaped from Switzerland. He lived in Lebanon, where he worked as a hashish farmer. But finally he went to Bolivia, and died there in a small village Tutilimundi, it means All Worlds.

On their albums there are some covers. Now you can listen to the original and the cover ones too

About the songs

Johnny B. Goode is a 1958 rock-and-roll song written and first recorded by Chuck Berry.

Little Anthony and the Imperials is an American rhythm and blues/soul/doo-wop vocal group from New York City, their first single was Tears on My Pillow in 1958.

The song It Hurts Me Too is a blues standard. First recorded in 1940 by American blues musician Tampa Red. Elmore James (1918 – 1963) who was an American influential blues musician, recorded his own versions in 1957, and in the early 60s.

David „Junior” Kimbrough (1930 – 1998) was an American juke joint blues legend. Whose first single was released in 1967, but his first album came out just in 1992 by Fat Possum Records. The song Baby Please Don’t Leave Me taken from his last album Meet Me In The City (1999). In 2005, a tribute album was released with such artists as Iggy Pop, Mark Lanegan, Jack Oblivian, Black Keys, Spiritualized or Blues Explosion. Even Daft Punk also made a 15 minutes long re-edited version of a Kimbrough’s song I Gotta Try You Girl in 2016. Reputedly he was survived by 36 children.

The Ballad of Casey Jones is a traditional song about railroad engineer Casey Jones. It tells of how Jones and his fireman Sim Webb raced their locomotive to make up for lost time, but discovered a freight train ahead of them on the line, and Casey tried to stop the machine and save the passengers. His body was found lying under the cab, with his skull crushed and right arm torn from its socket. The fireman jumped just in time to save his life. The express messenger was thrown against the side of the car, having two of his ribs broken by the blow, but his condition is not considered dangerous. The train was only two minutes behind schedule.

Soon after Casey’s death (30 April 1900), the song was first sung by engine wiper and friend of Casey to the tune of a popular song of the time known as „Jimmie Jones”. As railroaders stopped in Canton, Mississippi they would pick up the song and pass it along. American country blues guitarist Walter E. „Furry” Lewis (1893 – 1981) recorded his version in 1928. Anyway he was a street sweeper for the city of Memphis, he held this job until his retirement in 1966.

Red Foley (1910 – 1968) is one of the greatest country musicians. He was an inspiration to rock ‘n’ roll, in particular Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley, who both covered many of his songs. Will the Circle Be Unbroken? is a popular Christian hymn, was written in 1907. The Red Foley version was published in 1958.

Swiss independent label A Tree in a Field Records is hitting you this time with a triple reverb attack from Roy & the Devil’s Motorcycle. The four piece around the three Stähli brothers unveils a most unpolished garage/basement sound on their new 7 inch single I’ll Sing You a Song. The title track and Sweet Reputation both lead us back to good old Velvet Underground but with an unmistakable 21. century appeal and a juvenile charm.

After switching to another side (and to a speed of 33 rpm) things get a bit peculiar  with Rock’n’Roll Soldier – it’s a bright psychedelic tune infused with traditional reggae sound. It made me ponder a bit about this strange combination, although I’m aware that this is far from unprecedented… Actually, the term Jamaican fusion sounds like a horrible idea in theory (with numerous mainstream examples supporting this notion) but if you consider Bad Brains, Serge Gainsbourg or Polish post punk pioneers, Brygada Kryzys for example, the outcome can be the coolest thing ever. Roy & the DMC’s  effort is by all means within the cool league!

Order the vinyl from A Tree in a Field Records and check it out for yourself!

Roy & The Devil’s Motorcycle is one of our favorite bands. They have been tenaciously and joyously doing their own thing in rural Switzerland for 20 years. In the beginning their influences: old, dusty blues records, gospel, dirty garage, Spacemen 3, 13th Floor Elevators, Gibson bros, later added to these for example Lee „Scratch” Perry, Red Krayola. They has made only three albums during the years.*

*I know a band who has made 27 albums + 7 albums with their side projects + 8 solo albums + 8 DVDs + at least 20 mixtapes + some singles, EPs and splits between 2010 and 13… Moreover they have made a film recently.
