LIPSTICK at Fellini!!!

LIPSTICK ROCK es algo más que el tradicional concepto de club que se estila en nuestras ciudades hoy por hoy: LIPSTICK es una experiencia transgresora que juega con la estética, la música, el ambiente y todas las referencias que puedas necesitar para saber que estás asistiendo a algo diferente. El próximo lunes 2 de marzo, el Fellini de Barcelona acoge exactamente la fiesta en la que quisiéramos perdernos: Vinila Von Bismark a los platos electrocutando la sala con su mezcla de glam rock, post-punk y electrónica, Lorena LaSanta a pocos metros quemando la pista, y el sello LIPSTICK para garantizarlo todo…

ANDREW KING / SHINING VRIL / ELDAR, Live Barcelona 4th April 2009

ANDREW KING,Singer, Artist, Folklorist
Though mainly known as a singer of traditional song and as a current member of Sol Invictus & The Triple Tree, Andrew King’s initial creative work was in the visual arts, exhibiting his Emblematic paintings both nationally and internationally. In 1994 he started making documentary recordings of traditional songs, music, and customs and in 1995 moved to London to further this work and the illustrative compositions that he was doing for a number of the Post-Industrial / Neofolk bands of the time (L’Orchestra Noir, Current 93, Ernte, Sol Invictus, etc), to complement this work he made his first attempts at traditional song the following year.

He has subsequently become an expert in the vernacular culture of the British Isles as well as the wider shores of Pan-European Balladry, having worked for both the English Folk Dance & Song Society and the Sound Archive of the British Library and is consequently one of the very few people in the burgeoning Neo-Folk scene for whom the term “Folk” is more relevant than “Neo” in that he is at home in both unaccompanied and arranged performances; for the former he is a resident at London’s Musical Traditions Club whilst for the latter his backing band consists of members of the noted Electronics group KnifeLadder.

Originally on World Serpent (The Bitter Harvest, 1998), his breakthrough release was The Amfortas Wound (Athanor, 2003) a cathartic collection of murder ballads and mystical anthems. Subsequent releases have included a mini-album on Old Europa Café, split CD’s with Changes, Sol Invictus and Rose Rovine e Amanti, a collaborative album about Jack The Ripper with the French group Les Sentiers Conflictuels and an overtly experimental album of traditional songs with the Art group Brown Sierra, as well as a number of carefully chosen compilation.

As well as being a current member of Sol Invictus, Andrew has also performed with Tony Wakeford as Duo Noir, and with him has recorded the M. R. James influenced album Ghosts under the name The Triple Tree (released by Cold Spring in 2008), he has also collaborated with KnifeLadder and Andrew Liles (NWW, C93) whilst for his 2006 live performance in Portland (Oregon) he was privileged to have members of Waldteufel as his band.

SHINING VRIL is a project of John Murphy,percussionist and electronic pioneer with such acts as SPK, MaxQ, Death in June, early Current 93 and credible pop act The Associates.
He formed, joined, or collaborated with, the following acts: The Associates, Dumb And The Ugly, Sooterkin Flesh, The Slub, SPK, Lustmord, Whitehouse, Death In June, Sword Volcano Complex, Browning Mummery, Current 93, Kraang, Sleeping Pictures, Naevus and NON, in addition to playing on sessions for Nico, The The, Gene Loves Jezebel and Shriekback.
As part of industrial electronic trio Knifeladder, and as a member of folk-noise group Foresta Di Ferro with Marco Deplano and Ostara’s Richard Leviathan.

ELDAR is a Dark Ambient band from Barcelona. The combination of philosophy & mysticism.
Eldar is the struggle of opposites, is the struggle of humanity and the individual.
Eldar’s work is to convey emotion and feelings, to expand the spirit and minds of the people who heard his music.
Eldar is the solo project of Zyklon, multifaceted artist who participated in various musical projects as DYING PERSON, VETTIUS VALENS or BELAUR. At the same time, is a literary artist, creator of the Fanzine “Dying Person” and the book of philosophical novel “Aeterno.”

CRISIS Ends!

There were other shows planned for Reading and Bristol after that but it was eventually decided that Punk was over for us and we should end in front of our home audience and in the same venue where Crisis had played its first gig 3 years previously in 1977.

Lux Interior R.I.P.

Lux Interior, líder y frontman de The Cramps, falleció el pasado 4 de febrero a los 62 años, en el Glendale Memorial Hospital de Los Ángeles debido a una enfermedad cardiaca, según informó su agente.

The Cramps surgen en Nueva York en la segunda mitad de la década de los setenta. Interior (cuyo nombre real era Erick Lee Purkhiser) y su mujer Kristy Wallace (conocida como Poison Ivy) forman el grupo en 1976 para dar salida a su fascinación por la cultura basura de los años cincuenta y sesenta, las películas de serie B, los cómics, la magia negra y el rockabilly.

La explosión punk, con su iconoclasta negación de todo lo considerado de buen gusto, fue el vehículo ideal para su sonido y su estética. The Cramps se convierten en los más raros de ese mítico circuito de inadaptados compuesto por gente como The Ramones, Patti Smith o Richard Hell que se movía alrededor de clubs como el C.B.G.B. o el Max Kansas City.

A pesar de que sus cifras resultan ridículas (Billboard asegura que de los 14 álbumes publicados por The Cramps, el más vendedor fue Bad Music for Bad People, de 1984, con unas miserables 95.000 copias y que su último disco How To Make a Monster, de 2004, apenas colocó 11.000) la influencia de The Cramps ha sido colosal. No sólo son los inventores del psicobilly, combinación de todas sus pasiones. Sino que demostraron que el punk, además de rabioso podía ser teatral y divertido, y colocaron en el mapa a muchos de sus mitos con la reivindicación de leyendas olvidadas, como el hoy mítico cineasta Ed Wood y músicos como Link Wray, The Sonics o Hasil Adkins. De hecho gran parte de sus mayores éxitos son versiones hiperaceleradas de viejos temas de esos entonces ignotos pioneros del rock´n´roll que luego recopilarían en su colección Born Bad y que les proporcionaron esa reputación, de la que ellos estaban tan orgullosos, de profanadores de tumbas.

Cramps singer Lux Interior died early Wednesday of an existing heart condition at 62

Lux Interior, lead singer of influential garage-punk act the Cramps, died Wednesday morning (February 4) due to an existing heart condition, according to a statement from the band’s publicist. He was 62.

Born Erick Lee Purkhiser, Interior started the Cramps in 1972 with guitarist Poison Ivy (born Kristy Wallace, later his wife) — whom, as legend has it, he picked up as a hitchhiker in California. By 1975, they had moved to New York, where they became an integral part of the burgeoning punk scene surrounding CBGBs.

Their music differed from most of the scene’s other acts in that it was heavily steeped in camp, with Interior’s lyrics frequently drawing from schlocky B-movies, sexual kink and deceptively clever puns. (J.H. Sasfy’s liner notes to their debut EP memorably noted: “The Cramps don’t pummel and you won’t pogo. They ooze; you’ll throb.”) Sonically, the band drew from blues and rockabilly, and a key element of their sound was the trashy, dueling guitars of Poison Ivy and Bryan Gregory (and later Kid Congo Powers), played with maximal scuzz and minimal drumming.

Because of that — not to mention Interior’s deranged, Iggy Pop-inspired onstage antics and deep, sexualized singing voice (which one reviewer described as “the psychosexual werewolf/ Elvis hybrid from hell”) — the Cramps are often cited as pioneers of “psychobilly” and “horror rock,” and can count bands like the Black Lips, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, the Reverend Horton Heat, the Horrors and even the White Stripes as their musical progeny.

Over the course of more than 30 years, the Interior and Ivy surrounded themselves with an ever-changing lineup of drummers, guitarists and bassists, and released 13 studio albums (the last being 2003’s Fiends of Dope Island). They also famously performed a concert for patients at the Napa State Mental Hospital in 1978 (which was recorded on grainy VHS and has since become a cult classic) and appeared on a Halloween episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210.” Their video for the song “Bikini Girls With Machine Guns” also drew rave reviews from Beavis and Butt-head on a memorable episode of the show.

Despite the band’s long history, fans generally agree that the group’s peak was in the early ’80s, with the albums Songs the Lord Taught Us and Psychedelic Jungle. Many clips of the Cramps’ chaotic live shows from the era can be found online; look for their version of “Tear It Up” from the 1980 film “URGH! A Music War.” One memorable (and typical) show in Boston in 1986 found Interior, clad only in leopard-skin briefs, drinking red wine from an audience member’s shoe, and ended with him French-kissing a woman (who wasn’t his wife) for 10 full minutes with his microphone in their mouths.

Due to their imagery, obsession with kitsch and dogged dedication to touring — they wrapped up their latest jaunt across Europe and the U.S. this past November — the Cramps commanded a loyal fanbase, and even earned a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in the form of a shattered bass drum that Interior had shoved his head through.
