To Hell With Blue Mondays – Go Nuts With… KINGS OF LEON
Weekly havoc to kick Blue Mondays in the ass…
The fierce Nashville family KINGS OF LEON released their third album BECAUSE OF THE TIMES – one of their best, ten years ago – in 2007. A raw fireball full of Southern garage rock. This acclaimed LP brought them one step closer to world fame. My favorite highlight is BLACK THUMBNAIL . A nasty roller coaster killer with scorching guitars and frontman Caleb Followill‘s rusty voice almost collapsing. Here’s a smoking live rendition…

SLEATER-KINNEY Released Powerhouse Punk Album ‘DIG ME OUT’ Twenty Years Ago…
Memorable moments in sonic history!…
‘Dig Me Out’ by SLEATER-KINNEY
8 April 1997 – 20 years ago
Mighty powerful trio SLEATER-KINNEY reinjected female punk back in the nineties with passionate fire, ardent rage and outspoken leftist statements. Third album DIG ME OUT released 20 years ago today, 8 April 1997, was a smashing powerhouse from start to finish and definitely a key album in their exciting career. Riot grrrll fury at its very best. Hell yeah!
What the press said…
SPIN
“Dig Me Out captures the noise of a soul-filled body shaking itself awake, and that’s an experience that bridges any gender divide. In it, guys as well as girls will hear the rattle of their brains and the flash of their libidos. The catharsis Sleater-Kinney seek is more than just fun. It’s a battle in earnest for the human right to know and possess yourself. Feminism was supposed to be about that fight, too, but it’s still sputtering under the weight of its own complacency. Sleater-Kinney push us back into the fray. If they wanna be our Simone de Beauvior, Dig Me Out proves they’re up to it.”
ROLLING STONE
“When Sleater-Kinney’s Corin Tucker and Carrie Brownstein proclaimed “I Wanna Be Your
Joey Ramone” on 1996’s Call the Doctor, they were laying down a dare to themselves and the Nineties indie-rock scene. The band’s next album, Dig Me Out, made good on that promise. Adding powerhouse drummer Janet Weiss, the Olympia, Washington, trio’s feminist punk hit hard — from the elated rush of “Words and Guitar” to the raw romantic torment of “One More Hour.”
One of the highlights ‘One More Hour‘ live in 1998 in a record shop in New York…

THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS Released Breakthrough Album ‘DIG YOUR OWN HOLE’ 20 Years Ago…
Memorable moments in sonic history!…
‘Dig Your Own Hole’ by THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS
Released 7 April 1997 – 20 years ago…
Although they didn’t look as party animals themselves, Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons
created smoking dance trance firework to soundtrack every rave in the late nineties,
I know, I was there and their second album DIG YOUR OWN HOLE still feels today as
their best and most adventurous, yet accessible achievement ever. Tons of rockin’ beats.
What the press said…
ROLLING STONE
“The British DJ duo shows that playing other people’s records — sliced, diced and blown to ingeniously reconfigured bits — is a valid form of composition, and dance music is a matter
of both mind and body…”
ALL MUSIC
“The Chemical Brothers might not push forward into self-consciously arty territories like some of their electronic peers, but they have more style and focus, constructing a blindingly innovative and relentlessly propulsive album that’s an exhilarating listen…”
BBC
“Tom and Ed can harvest up the minds and mess up the hearing of a whole new crowd of converts, and remains an immense, far out and most staggering work. A key text. Literally amazing.”
SPUTNIK MUSIC
‘I like to imagine Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons as two mad and brilliant chemists who play with musical machines in their laboratory and set free monstrous things, kind of like Doctor Octopus in the Spider-Man mythology…”
Here are three highlights…

Join LAS COBRAS On Their Amazing And Psychedelic Odyssey – Here’s Debut Single ‘TEMPORAL’…
Vibes that thrills us in a way we want to scream out loud…
LAS COBRAS is a fresh two-piece band hailing from Canelones, Uruguay featuring Sofía Aguerre and Leandro Rebellato. Although only formed last summer, the duo has already recorded their first album. It will be out via Fuzz Club on 19th May. Discover TEMPORAL
here, the first single and also the title track. Las Cobras’ sonic approach of psychedelic adventures is quite special. Atmospheric and cinematic. Mysterious and bewitching. “A hypnotic journey through warped synths, tropic percussion, lysergic bass-lines, smoky vocals and chiming, fuzzed-out guitars” says their record label. And no, it certainly isn’t necessary to understand Spanish. Music is an international language as we all know and this magical trip will definitely feed anybody’s imagination…
