I am on indefinite hiatus from this blog, but visit my other blog 'Blues Fiction' which I update (slightly) more - any music that I like and will fit there will be added there, as well as poetry and literature links, videos, and my own writing. Skeez.

Koti and the Artctic Hollers

I'm on an indefinite hiatus

too much going on

and this blog

ticks over just fine

the way it is.

I will leave you with this

Koti and the Arctic Hollers

'Eskimo's on Acid'

 

(Koti is also 'o Lendario Chucrobillyman' - I love Brazil)

And I will see you when I have space to think again.

Jesus and the Groupies - Black Heart Industry

Staying in Sao Paolo,

Jesus and the Groupies have just released their new album

Black Heart Industry

in easy free mp3 format.

This album lurches wildly

but effortlessly between genres

and needs some serious listening

but then it will grow on you

like a benign tumour. 

Download it.

They are also touring in Brazil.

More info here.

The Human Trash - It's Not Human, It's Human Trash

The Human Trash', Sao Paolo's garage rock-gods' new LP is now available from Squoodge in beautiful beautiful vinyl.

The band has also made it available free for us non-vinyl-freaks to download.

Download it here.

This album deserves a proper review, 

but I have too much happening,

and this is too good to keep to myself.

You can download a 28 song Cigar Box Guitar Tribute to Blind Willie Johnson here for free thanks to Shane Speal and the people from Cigar Box Nation

I've listened to it a few times now and I must say, this shit is awesome. The songs are diverse, and recorded at different quality-levels, but the general feeling of this thing is awesome. And free.

TUMBA SWING - One Man Band

Tumba Swing is another one-man-band from Spain, this one decidedly rawer than his compatriot One Hand's Man Band, whom I posted before this. But this just goes to show that the INTERNATIONAL ONE-MAN-BAND REVOLUTION is worthy of capitals, like I'm screaming it off a roof. One guy/girl ramming away on a guitar and percussion, drowning out  their own lyrics, that if you would hear them would help you understand the secret to the seven seals enclosed in the book of revelation. 666. That said, I know nothing more about this guy than you, apart from the video below. But the word will be spread even further. Now. 

TUMBA SWING (La orija para el toro)

One Hand's Man Band

Hey Syphilites,

I've been away from the one-man-bands for a while but this one was easy as it was sent straight into my inbox. One Hand Man's Band is a one-man-band from Spain, playing serious punk-blues. (By the way, do not confuse this act with One Man Hand, which is a one-man-band from Portugal). This guy reminds me a little bit of Jawbone. Good stuff.

This is him live in January of this year

And this is in June of 2010 in Madrid

1966, UK, 18' 45", Black & White
Cinematography: Antony Balch
Screenplay: William S. Burroughs
Cast: William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin

J Boozer - Happy 4:20 Surgeon General

Paul Cary - Ghost of a Man

I've been listening to this a lot. You should download it.

Think Tom Waits, think Nick Cave,

think William Elliott Whitmore

all rolled into one

for free

the deliciousness is found at Candy Dinner

a label that incidentally 

is chockfull of free downloads

it thrives on it

go there

Let's go Eskimo - Demo (2010)

 Let's Go Eskimo  are a blues/punk band from the Netherlands that you should listen to. Which you can. Because their demo can be downloaded for free from Soundcloud. Awesome.  Or listen to them below. By the way, these guys also opened for the Cut In the Hill Gang - the supergroup which a.o. consists of James Leg of the Black Diamond Heavies - (and holy fuckballs, have you listened to James Leg's solo-album yet?) - so, back to Let's Go Eskimo, these guys are in good company. Listen to their demo. And wait for their album to show itself.

Carpathian Forest - weirdest go-go dancers ever....

I've got so much going on at the moment

and I apologise for not updating the blog often enough

in the mean time

What the hell is going on with these backing dancers?

Guadalupe Plata - self-titled (2011) FREE DOWNLOAD

You need to download this shit

Their first EP is also available

here

There is so much more I could say about this great album

free album

but all I will tell you

Guadalupe Plata is weird punk-blues with an Iberic twist

think

'Tito and Tarantula' that band from 'From Dusk Till Dawn'

but then better.

Lots better.

Hastings 3000 at SXSW

One Man Band Hastings 3000 at SXSW (from 3:30) on Episode 6 of the Lazy Day Lounge  - Star and Micey open de video with some folk-tunes that are unfortunately hard to hear due to a siren screaming throughout nearly their whole bit.

The Backseat Drivers - Walkabout EP

Hey Syphilites,

I posted two EP's by the Backseat Drivers before here. This is their newest one: Walkabout, made available by the band the band themselves and their label Mamma Vendetta. A great EP, but you will have to let it grow on you - first I thought it sounded like noise - then things started to merge and I realised there was sense in the madness - A psych/bubble gum-pop mixture so volatile it will make your hips gyrate as if possessed. 

The band was supported 

on the EP

by acts 

such as

O Lendário Chucrobillyman
Renato Gimenez

andMari e Mayra Trash

You want this.
