| ROBERT AND THE ROBOTERS "WILDE ORCHIDEE" CD, Toca Records 2003 |
 |
Yes, yes, yes - finally new full length by this great instro combo from
Germany, but why, why, why again only on
CD?! Yeah, I know I'm vinyl freak - hee hee hee. I don't know if there are
more bands with this sound, I only know
Robert And The Roboters and Los Banditos and Bitch Boys are pretty similar.
This sound is soooooooo great and unique
and I just can't get enough of it. It's instrumental surf right, but on
strange
and weird way. When this East German
formula starts working, your mind will be locked for anything else until the
CD stops, and your body will shake and
move on all possible ways. It's kinda sexy and romantic, groovy and spacey surf
with really beautiful melodies. And
hell, you really have to be good to be able to play guitar like this. Of
course there is lot of cheeeeeeeesy organ,
here and there great fuzz sound that will make your pupils go wiiiiiiiiide or
even trumpet that will take you to
Mexico. And surprise surprise - there is a vocal song too - great garage punk
killer "Overdrive". I just can't
decide which songs are my favorite - they are all brilliant. This is an album
that you listen to from beginning to
the end without stops - you turn off your phone and lock your door to make
sure nobody can disturb you. Great,
great, great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROCK'N'ROLL MACHINE "PUMP GAS / SHE GOT OH!" 7", Pitshark 2003 |
 |
Rock'n'Roll Machine are already familiar to No Brains readers. They have great
production and they sound like
reincarnation of MC5 or Blue Cheer. They have 2 singers - girl and guy. A side
- "Pump Gas" is a real killer. But I like
"She Got Oh!" less. Too much guitar solo and hard rock influence for my taste.

| ROYAL ROUTES "MEDIUM MIDDLE MADIE / HUMDRUM HUMBUG" 7", Goodbye Boozy Records
2003
|
 |
New band with members of Scat Reg Boosters and Sexarenos. Sexarenos
were ok, Scat Rag Boosters pretty
good, but Royal Routes are really great. They are more similar to Scat Rag
Boosters - it's trash punk rhythm and
blues, but in my opinion better. Both songs are killers, B side with nice
harmonica. I heard their demo recordings
and I really hope that they will soon release a full length. Till then spin
this 7" on and on......

| SCAT RAG BOOSTERS "BOOGIE MAN" 7"EP, Kryptonite Records |
 |
As the sleeve says "Records that sound like shit, records that sell like shit"
- I don't know about selling, but
sound is 100% pure lo-fi. Who cares 'cos it fits perfectly with music. "Boogie
Man" is cool and primitive voodoo
rhythm and blues, "Lonesome Party" has Crampsy horror sphere - great
psychobilly instro. B side - "I'll See You
Dead" and "What You Do" is great harmonica r'n'b garage.

| SINGING DOGS "RIGHT NOW / YOU TEAR ME OUT / OUT OF CONTROL / TEENAGE WEREWOLF"
7"EP, Kenrock Records
|

This is totally lo-fi release. I mean can it go more lo-fi from here - the
sleeve is copied on inner side of Silver
Kings sleeve (KEN11) - this is what I call recycling - even B side of vinyl is
left empty for what ever comes next -
hahahaha. But what the fuck, Singing Dogs really kick ass in the wain of
Superfly T.N.T.s, Spider Babies. It's 2 men
band from Italy - and definitely best 2 men band!!!! Lately I got few pretty
cool 2 men / 1 man bands, so I guess I
better change my mind about this 'invention'. It's all White Stripes fault.
John Peel and NME should better like
Singing Dogs, but the world is always upside down. Maybe they didn't like B
side sticker - I'm not gonna tell you
what's on it - you'll have to buy this 7" - it's probably very cheap.
