Lightning Strikes Twice for London's OH! GUNQUIT with New Album Release View Embedded Content Here Sep 11, 2017 00:01 BST Lightning Strikes Twice for London's OH! GUNQUIT with New Album Release View embedded content here 'Oh! Gunquit are a London based 5-piece rumble-bop, freakabilly band who concoct a brew of raw R&R, wild garage rock, and twisted surf-punk. The nucleus of the band started in 2010 after Tina (Vocals/Trumpet) & Simon (Guitar/Vocals) became neighbours and frequenting the same sweaty cellar dance nights around town. They formed the band around the idea of creating a vibrant blend of new-wave vicious psych-surf, garage-punk, exotica & rock n roll. Oh! Gunquit are named in part to a town in Maine US which was an artists colony in the 1800's originally coined by the Abenaki Indians and in part to the idea of all guns quitting. Currently consisting of the hottest line-up to date this cosmopolitan creature contains members from Italy, USA, Colombia, Spain & UK. The Soundtrack to B-movies, road trips, & adventuring.. their unique live gigs are a blur of howling vocals, horns, buzzsaw guitars, rumbling toms, and exotic r&r fun. View embedded content here Watch video on YouTube here 'Lightning Likes Me' is the band's second studio Album combining elements of psychedelic surf punk, sci-fi rockabilly, and future rock n roll. With tracks produced by Detroit legend Jim Diamond (the Sonics, Dirtbombs, Detroit Cobras, White Stripes etc) & also Produced and Recorded by Alex McGowan at London's Space Eko studio (Jim Jones, Son of Dave etc) it's a somewhat denser and more experimental feel than their debut and still packed with killer songs with the same exotic wild vicious R'n'R music with which they've become known for. Their near-legendary live shows are now going even further interstellar with new full-time member Chuchi Malpersona (Saxophone) & the continuing super tight rhythm section of VV (Bass) Alex De Renzi (Drums). What the critics are saying: "OGQ are a refreshingly non-stop party of sound; a melting pot of rock n roll voodoo madness and pure unadulterated aural expression, perhaps the perfect soundtrack to a hedonistic roadtrip yet to be made. Mixing The Cramps and The B-52's and putting their own stamp on it" -Vive Le Rock Magazine "They call themselves Rumble-Bop which in some way does explain the fantastic sound they have" - Gideon Coe BBC6 Music Strong purveyors of vicious & exotic raw pop music" - Rough Trade View embedded content here Order the fabulous second Oh! Gunquit LP "Lightning Likes Me" Catch Oh! Gunquit this Friday, Sept 15 at The Trip Out Festival The Dirty Water Club started in October 1996 in the Tufnell Park neighbourhood of north London, at a venue called The Boston.

    IInnarnnardsds Band Slut of the month! Cover Story What is your stage name and where are you based? It’s Blind Marc or Blark. I’m based in Victoria BC. How many musical outfits are you currently whoring around with? Four right now: Betty Ford (Drums), The Shivs (Vocals), Keg Killers (Drums), The Bloody Hells (Drums), Dayglo Abortions (U.S. Tour Drummer). How do you keep all your bands separate? I pretty much separate them by the music style. They’re all punk, but slightly different. The Shivs is more hardcore, while Betty Ford is a street punk thing. Keg Killers is more of a 70’s style rock ‘n’ roll punk. Not too sure about the Bloody Hells yet, since I just joined. How often do you fall off the stage? photo: Laura Murray Well, The Shivs haven’t played a show in lind Marc (Marc Hlady) has become a awhile, so not lately... It all depends on the key element of the Victoria punk scene amount of booze and how fast it goes down. It The Dirtbombs... Casey Cougar talks to in the last ten years. Whether he’s B doesn’t happen so much with the other bands, drumming or singing, you know that if Blark is Mick and surprisingly doesn’t take off since I can use the drums to prop myself up. in the band it’s gonna be hard as hell. You’d her underwear... think that drinking and playing would take up 15 How do you know when it’s time to sleep in all of his time, but Marc also likes to treat peo- the tub? ple to the unnerving sight of a blind guy bar- It’s pretty much a given after 20 or so beers..

  • In Hot Pursuit in Search of Sexy Retro Remixers the Detroit Cobras
    Charleston City Paper OCTOBER 19, 2005 In Hot Pursuit In search of sexy retro remixers The Detroit Cobras BY SHAWNTÉ SALABERT The Detroit Cobras w/ The Reigning Sound Thurs. Oct. 20 9 p.m. $10, $8 (adv.) Village Tavern 1055 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. 884-6311 www.village-tavern.com The Detroit Cobras found their way into my CD player early last summer, via a Michigan-heavy mixed CD made by a Michigan-born friend of mine. In between tracks by Sufjan Stevens and The Dirtbombs, the single, retro opening note of The Cobras' "Shout Bama Lama" sounded, followed by Rachel Nagy's sultry, yet lackadaisical rock 'n' sass voice singing what sounded like a lot of nonsense that mostly rhymed with "Alabama," from what I could tell. Jibberish or not, before I knew it, I became one of those morons who press the "repeat" button before the song even ends ... over and over and over again. The Detroit Cobras are catchy, sing-along-in-the-car infectious, that's for damn sure. They take old, generally obscure B-side rock 'n' roll and R&B tuneage (The Cobras' version of "Shout Bama Lama" owes its lineage to Otis Redding) and infuse it with sexy punk rock spirit. They're not a cover band; they're a live Motor City remix machine, swathed in tattoos, leopard print, and old jeans. My new musical love affair found me in hot pursuit this summer, once I learned The Cobras were making a rare Southern stop in Charleston this fall. I was headed to New York and they were headed to New York, and dammit, we were going to meet in the middle somehow.

By far the most pervasive and long-lived was the revival of psychedelia, that kept recurring throughout the Eighties and the Nineties. Los Angeles had its own movement, the "Paisley Underground". Psychedelia became merely a pretext to concoct baroque, oneiric and hypnotic sounds, often with the help of keyboards and strings. Byrds-ian jangling guitars and naive melodies a` la Hollies dominate Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (feb/mar - oct 1983) by Rain Parade (1), with Matt Piucci on vocals and Dave Roback on guitar, as well as the EP Baroque Hoedown (fall 1982 - dec 1982) and the album Sixteen Tambourines (? 1983 - oct 1983) by Mike Quercio's Three O'Clock (1). Needless to say, the Paisley Underground was only the tip of the iceberg. The Dream Syndicate (12), formed by guitarists Steve Wynn and Karl Precoda and bassist Kendra Smith, acted as the natural liaison between Television (and the new wave in general) and the new generation of psychedelic rockers.

  • Rob's Album of the Week: Timmy's Organism's Heartless Heathen
    Rob’s Album Of The Week: Timmy’s Organism’s Heartless Heathen Every music scene has a few talented musicians floating under the radar. Look at a guy like Timmy Vulgar, a stalwart of Detroit’s illustrious garage rock & punk scene who cut his teeth as the frontman for acts like The Epileptix, Clone Defects and Human Eye. Vulgar has been doing things his way for quite some time while putting out music that’s just as good as the stuff from The White Stripes and The Dirtbombs. He also has a solo project called Timmy’s Organism that’s been rolling along since the late 2000s, and he has a new album due off it called Heartless Heathen that’ll be out on October 30 via Third Man Records. With bassist Jeff Grant and drummer Blake Hill rounding out a trio on the album, Vulgar has a lot of soul and a lot of psych that makes for a rad recording adorned with plenty of hooks and intensity. A heavy amount of distortion and reverb covers Heartless Heathen like a sheen of electric mud on top of a beat-up chair. There’s a raw and rigid sound that gives a no-frills approach; Vulgar is going to blow your face off whether you like it or not. I dig the solos from Vulgar’s guitar a lot; his pure talent with each riff shouldn’t go unnoticed and provides a proper introduction to anyone who isn’t familiar with Vulgar’s work. By the time you’re done listening to Heartless Heathen, you’re going to want to raid your local record store and the lovely Internet for everything and anything that he’s touched.

Andre also wanted to see his house in the old For I Wanna Go Back To Detroit City, his fifth neighborhood, and, again, found only a field with album for Chicago’s Bloodshot Records, he overgrown grass, no houses, no people, nothing. He wanted to return to his adopted hometown – a couldn’t imagine Detroit ending up like this so he went town that’s seen peaks and valleys just like Andre into the studio that day and recorded “Detroit (I’m – from hustle and bustle to bust, from drinking So Glad I Stayed).” It’s an anthem of resilience, full out of crystal to drinking out of brown paper.
