When skeletons play bongos...

Well, it' surely Tempo tantrum !

I remember this year 1989, when I came to Mulhouse, France, not far from the Germany frontier. My friend who lived there bring me to a cool vinyl shop where I found this superb piece of rock'nroll.
At that time I just known the name A Bones by another friend of mine who was fond of Cramps, (Miriam Linna was the second Cramps drummer), Gun Club, etc... (you know, this strange kind of stuff; devil rock for deranged kids !?)
Hmmm,, well, so do I buy this, certain to keep back home a -bizarrerie.
In the meanwhile, I did my rock'nroll way, and been introduced to Norton label, and so Miriam Linna, etc, etc...

Today, it's with real emotion,and great pleasure that I keep off this piece of pure rockab/rock'nroll from my cellar, just for ...you.

Enjoy.

It's Venus time !

Thanks to John T Chance who send me this great and brand new pop album, of a new band called VENUS PARADISE. In fact the new project of Laurent Bauer from Bogeymen fame.
We have already had a clue of his new direction on "Perfect colors", the last Mellow album, but now that's for sure.
Good Electro-pop for Christmas. Listen to "Goodbye" or "Koukie", there are future classic gems.

Go to their myspace for some mp3.

Now you know... the reason of my name :

The awaited posting of the second album (CD version) of the french kings of R'n'blues. Just for your pleasure.
(Thanks to Stéphane of Dig for the original production of these killers at that time : 1992 and 1994).

Tracklist:
Action Time/Roaming Child/You've Got No Scruples/Reservations/We'll Feel Alright/I Feel Well/I'll Never Be Someone Like You/Hate & Love/She Drives Me Crazy/I Don't Wanna Lose My Baby/I Want It No Shame/Ain't No Shame

Groovy time with...

The Out Four !

At last, the first (and last) ep by my late band.
This one should have been edited by Groovy Eyes at that time, (1995) and that never was.
So we did on a limited basis of 100 copies given free with our lp, in 1997.
4 songs from the first and last ep of this french Rnb/Garage band.

As it is pretty rare, I give today the opportunity to listen to :

You can look


What he'd say


Bad boy


Groovy time


Enjoy !

By request : Four wolly giants !

The WYLDE MAMMOTHS rare eps !

At last, the first ep by this greaaat 80's swedish band.
Twilightzone offered you the second ep on Crypt in November, so here is the rest of the rare disco on extended plays.

To begin, the ultra rare first one on Mystery scene, 1986. Greatsongs, with the hyper recognizible voice of Peter Maniette. So cool. European beat at his best.
All The Birds Are Gone/I’ve Been Hurt (And She Don’t Care)/I Got You/You Gonna Need Me When I’m Gone
Thank you Marco for this one, and for having made me discover the greatness of this band some 20 years ago.


To continue, the flexi given free with issue 3 of the Splendid dutch fanzine in 1988. Two songs. One "I can't go without you" as good as on the previous ep, the other "Deep down in misery" as recorded live, with a poorer sound.



Third, the free ep given with issue 7 of Misty Lane fanzine in 1994. Four great unreleased tracks :
You Gotta Go/Drivin’/Bloodhound/I Can’t Change.
A treasure for all the sad fans. Listen to the melancholic byrd's guitar on "You gotta go", or the ballad "I Can’t Change"... it's making cry.

Listen I can't change



For the complete discography, I just can advise you to go to the cave, to see all the picture covers.

Beat girls and boys from all over the world, ENJOY !!
