KILL YOUR IDOLS

Found it on the internet. Don't remember where .......

"A comprehensive survey of some of New York City's post-punk bands, this documentary is equal parts art and music. It starts in 1972, pauses briefly in 1982, and stops in 2002, looking at influential acts during that timeline. The No Wave bands of the early '70s make up the first segment of the film. Gritty black-and-white footage of live performances in SoHo clubs feature Suicide (Martin Rev), Teenage Jesus and The Jerks (Lydia Lunch), the Theoretical Girls (Glenn Branca), and DNA (Arto Lindsay). The music is followed by candid interviews with the artists, filmed in 2002, on digital video, in color. They comment on the political atmosphere in downtown New York at that time, discuss punk influences like Iggy Pop, and explain that they were trying to make something new, even if it wasn't music. Skipping to the '80s, Sonic Youth (Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo) and the Swans (Michael Gira) emerge on the scene, and early live B&W footage is shown. The final chapter in this fascinating rock-doc takes viewers to 2002, where a smattering of youthful bands mimic the aforementioned. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs talk about their overnight fame. And other post-punk acts like Liars, Black Dice, and the delectable gypsy band Gogol Bordello chime in, with band members sharing their thoughts on the music they make and how it compares to those earlier sounds. Director-producer-photographer S.A. Crary, who made this movie for under $300, pulls it all together with cool title cards, sequences of experimental photography, and abstract chapter headings, making KILL YOUR IDOLS thoroughly enjoyable, and informative."

TODAY IS THE DAY : I Bent Scared

TODAY IS THE DAY : I Bent Scared (Amphetamine Reptile Records 1993)

Pressé à 1000ex, ce 45T (transparent et vert svp!) est la première sortie discographique de TITD.
Deux titres qui pourraient être ajoutés à la réédition de Supernova, premier album du groupe (à cette époque Steve Austin n'avait peut être pas envisagé de changer de musiciens comme de médiators).

A. I Bent Scared (4:41)
B. Come On Down And Get Saved (5:07)

BOXCAR SATAN : Crooked Mile March

BOXCAR SATAN : Crooked Mile March (DogFingers Recordings 2001)

"Boxcar Satan are the sound a dumptruck makes as it unloads all over your convertible - while you're in it - and you laugh hysterically at the cruelty of it all. There's a heavy smell to it; it's gritty and chunky and it really makes you want to shower. Infused with blues, punk and miles of crunchy rock guitar, songs like "Hard Time," "Sterno" and "Snake Oil" will make you pick up that bottle and want to make love to it all night long." -- Ink Blot Magazine

BLACK SNAKES : Crawl

BLACK SNAKES : Crawl (Radium 1988)

Black Snakes ne pouvait pas venir d'une autre ville que New York.
En 1987 Darin Lin Wood ('68 Comeback, Blacktop, Fireworks), Jack Natz (Cop Shoot Cop, Lubricated Goat), Richard "Hardcore" Kern & Patrick Blank (le seul inconnu du groupe!) enregistrent un des disques les plus importants de l'histoire de la musique.
Nourris de circonvolutions jazz et des grooves moites rescapés d'Exile on Main Street, les américains attaquent le Rock & Roll par sa face la plus aride: le Blues.

A1. Rear View Mirror
A2. The Hanging Of John Daniel Lee
A3. Black Snake
A4. Same Old Shit
B1. Ride
B2. Ain't That A Shame
B3. Three Tongues

ALBOTH! : Ali

ALBOTH! : Ali (Sub/Mission 1995)

Entre noise et musique industrielle, les suisses d'Alboth donnent à leur piano des airs de tôles froissées. Chant guttural sous influence Young Gods, violence sourde à la Goz Of Kermeur, nos joyeux lurons délivrent ici leurs compositions les plus "rock".

03. ZEITBLOM
04. BERGER
05. SIGI

THE WRECKERY : Laying Down Law

THE WRECKERY : Laying Down Law (Citadel 1989)

Voilà un groupe qui mériterait d'être à nouveau distribué correctement. Car les disques de ces australiens (Melbourne) sont maintenant introuvables. Dommage car avant de jouer avec Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Hugo Race et Edward Clayton-Jones ont composés quelques uns des morceaux les plus passionnants de Blues torturé.
A redécouvrir ...

01. The Understudy (H Race)
02. Kickdown (H Race/E Clayton-Jones)
03. Holy Honey (H Race)
04. I Can't Say (R Casinader)
05. The First Lesson (H Race)
06. Laying Down Law (H Race)
07. Fall In Love With A Victim (H Race)
08. Good To Be Gone (H Race)
09. Two Wings (H Race)
10. Bending The Bars (H Race)


DAVY JONES LOCKER : "S/T"

DAVY JONES LOCKER : "S/T" (Go Get Organized 1991)

En pleine vague grunge les Davy Jones Locker réussirent à placer Thionville sur la carte du rock. Après deux 45T sort donc ce premier ep. 7 titres (le cd en comporte un de plus) brut et rugueux qui font passer Mudhoney pour de gentils mélodistes pop ... on exagère à peine.

1. power
2. rocket in my head
3. slide
4. one day i saw a man
5. white
6. tropos
7. chemical terror
8. ?

THE OLYMPIC SIDEBURNS : Dixie Truck Stop!

THE OLYMPIC SIDEBURNS : Dixie Truck Stop! (White Label Rec.1987)

Il y a peu de chance qu'on se souvienne aujourd'hui de ces australiens mais en 1985 leur mini album sorti sur New Rose rivalisait avec le meilleur des Scientists de Kim Salmon.
Deux ans plus tard sortira Dixie Truck Stop! Dernier album d'une courte discographie.

1. I can see
2. What's going on
3. I will wait
4. Underworld
5. Badlands
6. Pay it back
7. Teenage girl
8. Know
9. Blue sky
