Plastic Crimewave Sound Review by Joe Milliken

The Message serves the areas of and is the paper of record for Chester, Londonderry, Ludlow, Rockingham, Springfield, West River Valley and Weston, Vermont. Plastic Crimewave Sound Review by Joe Milliken The Chicago-based Plastic Crimewave Sound is a band that is hard to describe. How about; a spaced out, nightmarish, psychedelic punk band. Of course that does not nearly begin to describe the scope of this band, but you get the idea. With the CD rerelease of No Wonderland, originally recorded as a concept, doublealbum on Eclipse Records and since out of print, the indie label Prophase offers this mind bending concoction of roaring psychedelic punk jams, heavy pulsating rhythms, sweeping minimalist soundscapes, fuzz tone, acoustic guitars and orchestral strings, all offset by some eerily poetic lyrics. An 18track concept piece, No Wonderland weaves in and out of all these different textures, taking the listener on a surreal, exploratory, almost frightening at times journey through this fuzz drenched, multifaceted rock sound. Imagine the Syd Barrett led Floyd submerging themselves into a modern, industrialized format. If it is hard to wrap your imagination around these descriptions, just imagine listening to the music. For this is not a collection of songs for the faint of heart or those looking to create some nice background music for a social gathering. No, Plastic Crimewave Sound is some serious music for a serious music fan, as this fivepiece, self proclaimed ³space punk² band rages through 70 minutes of stunning rock virtuosity reminiscent of classic 1970¹s prog rockers (the aforementioned) Pink Floyd, Hawkwind, Tangerine Dream and Pink Fairies. What? Never heard of some of these bands? Well then, if your bored with today¹s cookie-cutter, Emorock and pop sounding artists, don¹t be afraid to delve into the glorious past. Go online and check out these bands for some genuine, musical originality with musicians who demanded from and commanded their instruments! .

I was always impressed by Penny Rimbaud’s statement that the later Crass singles were issued as “tactical responses” to given situations. I started off writing and editing Fanzines, and it is only for reasons of my own that I decided to issue this magazine like Dear Friends, clockwork every Saturday, more recently every Friday. And so, what was planned to be an ordinary “ring in the old, ring out the new” (or is it But I think that the job of a magazine is a the other way round?) type issue has complex one, and I wouldn’t really like to completely gone out the window. Because clarify it into words, but it seems right that Lemmy dying has completely let the cat we document such an important event, amongst the cultural pigeons in a way that (which does appear to be lifechanging for one suspects the old bugger would have some people) into a special edition of Gonzo enjoyed.

Syd Barrett Perduto
Syd Barret Perduto Nick Kent, Syd Barret apparso su "New Musical Express Year Book" 1974 Circola una strana storia a proposito di un incidente capitato durante uno degli ultimi spettacoli di Syd Barrett con i Pink Floyd. Dopo un lungo intervallo, il gruppo aveva deciso di tornare in scena (ci sono molte controversie sul luogo in cui tutto questo sarebbe accaduto); ad ogni modo tutti tornarono in scena meno Barrett, che rimase nel camerino cercando maniacalmente di sistemare la sua folle pettinatura di quel momento. Mentre i suoi amici accordavano, Barrett, più disperato che mai, vuotò il contenuto di una boccetta di Mandrax, ruppe le pillole in piccoli pezzi e mescolò le briciole in un vasetto pieno di brillantina. Poi si versò questa massa coagulata sulla testa, afferrò la Telecaster e si diresse verso il palcoscenico. Mentre suonava nel solito modo incoerente, incostante e quasi caotico, la miscela di Mandrax e brillantina si spappolava per l'intenso calore delle luci di scena, colando giù per i suoi capelli fino a far sembrare la sua faccia una maschera deforme. Questa storia può essere più o meno vera. Esis- tono molte strane storie che riguardano l'intero periodo leggendario di cui Syd Barrett è il pro- tagonista ambiguamente onorato: alcune sono vere, altre sono il frutto d’invenzioni nostalgiche. Eppure Barrett è ancora vivo e in circolazione. Ogni tanto fa la sua apparizione alla Lupus Music, la casa editrice musicale che ha sede a Londra in Berkeley Square e che, controllando i suoi diritti d'autore, lo ha mantenuto in questi ultimi anni d’inattività in condizioni finan- ziarie abbastanza modeste.

That is why today, archaeologists still excavate, generating yet more data, publishing in the latest volumes of long-established journals, or in expensive monographs that only other archaeologists will read.

Lemmy Kilmister Was Born in Stoke-On-Trent
Lemmy Kilmister was born in Stoke-on-Trent. Having been a member of the Rocking Vicars, Opal Butterflies and Hawkwind, Lemmy formed his own band, Motörhead. The band recently celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary in the business. Lemmy currently lives in Los Angeles, just a short walk away from the Rainbow, the oldest rock ’n’ roll bar in Hollywood. Since 1987, Janiss Garza has been writing about very loud rock and alternative music. From 1989 to1996 she was senior editor at RIP, at the time the World’s premier hard music magazine. She has also written for Los Angeles Times, Entertainment Weekly, and New York Times, Los Angeles. ‘From heaving burning caravans into lakes at 1970s Finnish festivals to passing out in Stafford after three consecutive blowjobs, the Motörhead man proves a mean raconteur as he gabbles through his addled heavy metal career résumé’ Guardian ‘As a rock autobiography, White Line Fever is a keeper’ Big Issue ‘White Line Fever really is the ultimate rock & roll autobiography .

Biography 2020
Biography 2020 Paradise 9 formed in 1997, from out of Gregg McKella playing his songs at songwriters’ nights in London. At the “Acoustic Revolution” in West London he teamed up with bassist Andy McDonald (ex-The Children/ex-Sex Gang Children). Steve Teers later joined on djembe, keyboards and backing vocals. The trio then spotted Wayne Collyer, drumming for heavy rock outfit Deepskin, and invited him to join them and the band was born. In 1999 the SHOWTIME' album was recorded at Quo Vadis studios, in North London and was self-released. In 2000 Paradise 9 split, playing their last gig at West One-Four in London. Wayne left for Australia, and Gregg took a sabbatical. In 2002 they reformed for a one off gig. It went down well and so the band reformed now with Carl Sampson from Casual Affair on drums. They played many gigs in and around London for the next 3 years. In 2007 Andy McDonald left the band and Matt Szul stepped in on bass duties for the next year. In 2008, Gregg recruited his old bandmate Tyrone Thomas (Olympic Clamp Down/ Jeanette Murphy band/ex-Alternative T.V./ ex-Image Wot Image), on lead guitar giving the band an edgier feel. In 2008, Matt left, and another Casual Affair member Neil Matthars took over the bass reins. In 2009 the EP 'Nothing For Tomorrow’ was recorded at Liscombe Park Studios, mixed by Steve Rispin (Lifesigns). Steve Teers left in 2010 to bring up his family. In the summer, Jaki Windmill (Pink Fairies/ex-Space Ritual/ex- Whimwise) joined the band, on djembe and backing vocals.
