BBQ "DAYS / I'M THE ONE" 7", 2003 Goodbye Boozy
BBQ is Kib Husk one man band and this is recorded live. Result is really fascinating. It takes 2 people for White Stripes to do the same thing and BBQ does it even better. Well, music is not the same - BBQ is dirty swamp rockin' trash blues. I know there are people who don't like one / two man bands and I'm also always skeptical about them. But there are surprises and BBQ is definitely one of them. Specially B side sounds like normal band - I don't know what this guy does I just can't believe it's all recorded live - I have to see it with my own eyes. But who cares anyway - it's ass kicking music and I love it!

BEEF WELLINGTON "THAT'S ME / NEVER GO THERE AGAIN" 7", dB's Records
I don't have any info about Beef Wellington. I don't know if it's a band or a guy. It's monotone and fucked up trashy mid tempo garage punk blues, recorded lo-fi, but it fits good with music. Imagine totally drunk Velvet Underground playing trash punk blues. "Never Go There Again" is total system failure trip caused by alcohol. Really weird losers 7" with sick sleeve (and music too - hahaha). I like it!

THE BLOWTOPS "TOMORROWS SETTING SUN / VENOM VICTIMS WINE" 7", 2003 Goodbye Boozy
Huh, this is weird 7". "Tomorrows Setting Sun" starts like trash blues punk we usually get from this great label, but then it becomes so freaked out and psychotic. "Venom Victims Wine" is super fast screamy trash punk - really fucking great!!!!!!!!! Really cool band from Buffalo, US - I would like to hear more 'cos these 2 songs are so different. But 1 thing is fascinating for me - both songs are so psychotic and manic - you don't hear stuff like this every day!

BOB URH AND THE BARE BONES "GRAVEYARD SHIFT / BAD WORLD REVISITED" CDr single
This is pretty weird CD. Vocal is very similar to Lou Reed, but the whole thing is not really like Velvets. There is a Cramps ghost moving around in my speakers and I can feel it. "Bad World Revisited" is more garage / trash blues with harmonica. I like this weird stuff!!!

CATHOLIC BOYS "BRAINWASH CITY" 7", Kryptonite Records 2003
I read so many great things about Catholic Boys. I also like Kill-A-Watts and Teenage Rejects a lot (former bands of Catholic Boys members). My expectations from this new trash punk super group were huge. EP also has really great sleeve, but I was a bit disappointed when I heard the record. It's good, but it's not really my cup of tea. It sounds like trash punk version of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Now I understand why people like this so much. Unfortunately I didn't get what I was hoping for - something between Kill-A-Watts and Teenage Rejects and even better - but ok.
