DRUNKEN SAILORS (b) + THE HOLY KINGS (ger) + THE LIPSTICK VIBRATORS (fr)

We're DRUNKEN SAILORS from Brussels. The band first got together in November 2008, when Chris, who was then playing with Sale hope (a French band) and Martin moved to Belgium and met Ben (also a member of the Unsubs) and Sammy (the band's former bass player.) After spending long nights drinking in the pubs around Brussels, we've eventually decided that it was time to try it out, write music and jam together... A few months later Sammy left the band and Crock (who was then playing with Billie Bolley and the Degenerates) joined as guitar player, followed by Tom as bass player shortly after. We're all passionate about this one same thing: the punk scene. We all come from different punk backgrounds, what makes Drunken Sailors so open and diverse a band. Thanks to many friends and people we've met along the way, Drunken Sailors has now grown up and has already had the opportunity to hit some of the stages and venues across Belgium like the pits, the street live festival and ojc kompas among others,… we hope to see you all at one of our shows. cheers'n'beers

THE HOLY KINGS are a Street Punk band from Regensburg, Bavaria. They first saw the light of day in the summer of 2006, when four adolescent punkrockers decided to be the new ass-kicking street punk/rock'n'roll act of their hometown. It took some months and especially getting a proper rehearsal room until they found their own unique style, with every band member bringing his own stylistic favourites into the process of creating new songs. There's raw and beer-drenched singalong numbers as well as fast-paced, in-your-face street punk songs, that may remind one of US punk rock at its best, but The Holy Kings keep having their own character.


Born in 2006 by Mickey Dildo and Tom Idle, LIPSTICK VIBRATORS start their actual line up in september 2007 with Dandy Pumpkin (ex Spermicide), Mickey Dildo (ex Defenestrors),Coxs Tornado (ex Defenestrors, ex Maximum Kouette, La Fraction), Tom Idle (ex Sens Interdit) and Matt the Crusher.
Lipstick Vibrators is a high energy rock'n'roll, with a savage mix between Punk-rock and Garage influenced by bands like News bomb turks, Dead Boys, Cramps, Stooges, Devil Dogs and more ... they use a large panel of rock'n'roll to compose their music. They already played with bands like Jello Biafra,The Vibrators, Agent Orange, Lords of Altamont, The Mochines, Flying over ... and are ready to rock the world !
This new Rock'n'roll combo will be your favourite one soon, stay tuned motherfuckers!

UITGESTELD - POSTPONED
THE RATS (us)+ BOSTON TEA PARTY (us)

THE RATS: "...off the charts. Suicide vocals, ferocious guitars and great songs grab you by the hips and wont let go. Rock n Roll never dies, it just goes underground" *** BOSTON TEA PARTY: "duoband, off-beat, catchy sing-a-long-songs, a boy and a girl"

woensdag 3 maart 2010 (ICW Vlas Vegas)
new date!!!

THE SKULL DEFEKTS (sw)

”The Skull Defekts conjure up an unlikely and unkind meltdown din somewhere between the arid No Wave of CHARIS MISSING-preriod Wire, the contemporary ramalama of Sweden’s excellent Krautrock-wannabees Audionon and the artless pummeling early-70s proto-Kiss proto-Cleveland blues-free white blues of Germany’s Tiger B. Smith amped up to a heartless degree.”

zaterdag 6 maart 2010
BLIND TO FAITH (N) + TRENCHFOOT (b)

"Expect absolutely ripping hardcore/punk that's actually a little faster and more furiously intense (in a straightforward, blasting hardcore manner) than many listeners might expect, while an almost Celtic Frost-like vibe provides a counter
to the speed by injecting a forceful midpaced churn to several of the compositions." (Aversion Online). With members of Amen Ra, Reproach, Rise and Fall and Insult.

"Trenchfoot is het gelukt om het beste van oude Suicidal Tendencies en Anthrax-achtige muziek te mixen met eveneens oude Exodus en Tankard-achtige riffs, waardoor we gerust kunnen spreken van een lekkere pot old school crossover thrash."

new date!!!
HIVE DESTRUCTION (b) +
APPOLLONIA (fr)

Spawned in 2008 from the collective brain of ex AMENRA's bassist KJM and current LIAR guitarist M. Halsberghe. HIVE DESTRUCTION is set to batter upon your eardrums with superheavy CROWBAR, NEUROSIS, ISIS and OLD MAN GLOOM a like riffing. Combined with atmospheric, acoustic and original hooks, deafening electronics and gloomy grooves, HIVE DESTRUCTION is not for the weak of heart.

"...it's not the crushing that really sells it (although, they do that extremely well), rather the beautiful melodies that sometimes seep, and sometimes burst, unexpectedly from these incredibly crafted songs. Your jaw will drop when you hear it."

woensdag 24 maart 2010
LITTLE CLAW (us)

The rise of Little Claw seems to have been staggering as Human Taste, latest album, already seems a classic indispensable crushes the notion of psyche-noise rock a little garage and a little lo-fi. Full control of noise the place now halfway between the Magik Markers and Liars, nothing less. The title song, badly irresistible and declined in two forms as jubilant one than the other (beginning and end of album), sets the tone for an astonishing album. Sometimes driven by a devastating force through multiple layers of drums and percussion (Modern Vampire Colors You Drown Breathing Tape), sometimes the pressure is released like the Magik Markers (Lay to Waste Slow Sticky Tornado or the remarkable drone - folk Golden Boy).

Full wad, Little Claw also succeeded in carrying out the No Wave nerve (Frankie) and even manages to overcome quite well the influence of Sonic Youth (Frozen in the Future sounds more like Bikini Kill, The Raincoats or Sleater-Kinney to their heyday).

Still relatively unknown, Little Claw imposes its claw so amazing. Allowing them to differentiate extraction cumbersome and competition fierce. A feat in itself.

PAST SHOWS

zondag 24 januari 2010
BRAT PACK (nl)+ THIS ROUTINE IS HELL (nl)
BRAT PACK is a punkrockband from Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Influenced by RKL, early NOFX, Adolescents and DI, they teamed up early 2006, for pure Westcoast hardcore punk worship. After gaining a steady line-up and a few months of practice, they recorded their first demo with Nico van Montfort. Angry Youth Records released it on tape, cd-version was done by themselves. Think lots of speed and melody.

Kicking it since fall '06, THIS ROUTINE IS HELL is a hardcore punk band inspired by the likes of Minor Threat, Paint it Black and Panic: Fast, Energetic and Sincere.
Frustrated by the drag and the fakeness of the world around them they scream from the heart and mean every god damned word that they say. The words tell the story of a few pissed off teenagers with a bunch of critical minds and a love for loudness beyond measure.

zaterdag 16 januari 2010
THE GOTHIEFS (ger) + COCOCOMA (us)

"CoCoComa started in the summer of 2005 as the husband & wife duo of Bill & Lisa Roe, with keyboardist/bassist Mike Fitzpatrick joining a short time after. A buncha shows, 2 singles, 3 split 7" and an LP/CD on Goner Records later we still don't practice much and should probably start wearing ear plugs. Seriously. Our new album entitled 'Things Are Not All Right' has just been released by Goner Records!"


zondag 3 januari 2010
LIBYANS (us)


Over the past couple of years, LIBYANS have evolved into one of the best hardcore punk bands in Boston, if not the USA. Their sound mixes up faster break neck hardcore with slower melodic catchy punk, all held together by the up front vocals of Liz Panella. They've released two quality 7"s and an excellent LP and have another LP on the way.

THE REMENBERS (fr) + FLEURS (fr)

Plastic Idol is pleased as punch to announce the debut vinyl release from the REMENBERS, a three-song 7" EP entitled "It's."
This fantastic trio from Marseille, France, offers up a spirited take on garagey punk, drawing equally from more traditional-sounding fare and the genre's fringe dwellers. The Remenbers like it LOUD, make no mistake about it, but fortunately they remembered (no pun intended) to bring great songs with them to the rumble and the proof is in the grooves. Hear it for yourself and check it out!!!

rock & roll yer asses into a goddamned FRENZY!PRIMITIVE,WILD AND FUCKED!!If you like bands like los ass-draggers,the fatals,oblibvians,the horrors...you gonna be drunk and shitfaced after this one!!!!

LOT LIZARDS (uk) + JULLIETTE ELEKTRA AND THE BLACK MASK REVUE (ger)

Like most bands it all started with a drunken conversation in a rubbish club in London watching a succession of terrible bands in early 2005. Lemmy of Black Time and GG of Kill Kill Kill got together as ‘Subway Slims’ by debating the old (Germs and Crime) verses the new (Oblivians and Cheater Slicks). They recruited Meg Slim to pound the skins like her more well known name-sake but then lost Lemmy to a busy Black Time calendar. With a more stripped back sound, the newly christened Lot Lizards moved forward at a sprint, making the rounds of the usual London clubs like Corn Rocket and Dirty Water sharing the stage with the Masonics, Los Raw Gospels, D-66 and Black Time, Thee Vicars,...

a new & unique formation with members of The Elektras, The Woggles and The Garagekid!!!!

THE GOHARDS (b) + THE LEWD (us)!!! TOUR CANCELLED !!!

snotty retarded 77 punk!!!the germs,the fuckers,the circle jerks,the gohards!!!

Lewd was an US West coast punk band active throughout 1978-1982, the Lewd originated in Seattle in the late 1970’s, then migrated south to San Francisco where they gained critical acclaim. Other than singer J. Sats Baret, who remained a constant, the group underwent numerous personnel changes both in Seattle and in San Francisco, too many to outline here in any great detail. During the band’s strongest incarnation - J. Sats Baret on vocals, Bob Clic on guitar, Olga Devolga on bass and Chris Reece (ex-Social Distortion) on drums, they released their only LP, America Wino, on ICI Records in 1982. REUNION OF THE YEAR !!!

SOCIAL CIRCKLE (us)

The moment we've all been waiting for has arrived, yep - A SOCIAL CIRCKLE LP! Finally, more than just a few songs for our enjoyment. If you've heard their previous 7"es and comp tracks, then you know they are an all around solid hardcore punk band. I think it's safe to say they've outdone themselves here. You'll have to be the judge of that. As for the tunes present here, they've combined melody with speed on all the right levels. You can hear late 70's punk rock from all around the globe as well as intense early 80's HC in their sound. It's another winner from SOCIAL CIRCKLE, and you won't be let down.

DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS (aus)

Melbourne's Digger & The Pussycats are one of the city’s most exciting exports in years, having built a reputation both locally and internationally as a unique live performance that has to be seen to be believed. Combining a myriad of musical styles ranging from 60’s garage-punk right through to blues and party rock and roll, the band has won over audiences in both hemispheres through relentless touring and their prolific catalogue of releases.

After the success of their 2004 debut "Young, Tight & Alright" the boys returned with “Watch Yr Back” a follow-up that was packed with surprises that has been lauded in the press of such far-reaching places as USA, Europe, Japan and even Israel!!!. The common thread between each of the band’s recordings is that boundaries are pushed at both ends, with a good mix of melodic-yet-trashy pop songs and hard-hitting punk screamers.

This music has seen the band hit the road in a big way, having toured Europe in each of the past 5 years, amassing close to 200 shows on the continent since their first trip in 2004. With Europe well and truly conquered, the boys were also invited to play at the world’s premier garage festival, Gonerfest in Memphis 2007. The festival coincided with a successful 6 week tour of the USA and South Korea.

The first half of 2008 was also busy for the Pussycats, releasing both a new studio album “let’s Go To Hospital” and a Europe-only live LP “Bad Reception. Following yet another smash and grab 7 week tour of Europe, the boys kissed each other goodbye for eight months as Andy unsuccessfully tried to join a post-rock band in Glasgow.

Alas, Digger & The Pussycats are now back, and have begun work on their fourth studio album and are eagerly awaiting a forthcoming 7” release on Slovenly Recordings, their first in the US market. You better watch out because Digger & The Pussycats are coming for your back, your ears and your heart. Check them out while you still can.

HEIRS (aus) + THE NIGHT TERRORS (aus)

"Post rock in Melbourne died so synthetic, ‘cosmic' rock might live, and at the gallows' helm were The Night Terrors, who, after almost ten years of perfecting their dark arts release their debut album on Exo Records this week. Fronted by towering theremin maestro Miles Brown, this trio does nightmarish, speculative Prog better than anyone and is impossible not to be rocked by."Three Thousand"If you want to play in a rock band without a singer you need musical ideas with the strength to carry the music. The night terrors have got it in spades....tracks from the new album "Back to Zero" are crammed with epic melodies, cinematic textures and and the even odd moment of sunshine. A truly original sound. I bought the album."AIR Charts"Exo Records is good records. Night Terrors music is good music. TNT has a serious Goblin-vibe happening here. They could easily score a horror film set in American Apparel. I could picture tram-loads of Gentlewomen with the same body shape, clothes, opinions and haircuts walking around the racks in a zombie like state, just tripping on all the offensive colours and price tags. 10/10"

CHUCKAMUCK (ger) + CHARLIE MEGIRA & THE MODERN DANCE CLUB (israel)
+ dj luke batarang

Charlie Megira is a comet. He'll dazzle your brain with his splendor and tear your soul apart with his poisonous trail.Hailing from Israel's own Pleiadian realm of Beit-She'an, Megira and his axis of scandalmongers Mimi Shanel (drums and ex-member of Israel's first garage band Wetbones), Javier Scheiner (guitar) and the Dead Girl (bass), create tunes that interfuse Belial Rock n' Roll and coffin-shaped New-Wave and Post Punk.Their Proto-Dialectric uproar resonates back to years and years of savage Rock und Roll. In their music you'll find Link Wray, Johnny Thunders and Ian Curtis, all resurrected back from Megira's subconscious Gehenna.The band is stark mad and the MC is psychotic. Hey Vesuvian rocker, The Modern Dance Club will make you burst!cramps,rockabilly 5O's wild shake that ass party beer drinking and have nice time!!!!


zondag 11 oktober
GLASSES (ger) + NOVEMBER 13TH (ger)

What do you expect from a band consisting of people who bring in their experience from bands like 244 GL, Trainwreck, Perth Express and The F.A.? Damn right - a monster of dark and brutal rocking hardcore punk, razorsharp breaks, hyperprecise drumming and an angry female singer that you would not want to get an argument with. GLASSES is going to be the new supergroup of German hardcore - don't miss your chance to be there in the beginning! *** Musically NOVEMBER 13TH play dark crust that falls somewhere between later WOLFBRIGADE and FROM ASHES RISE. However, these references only begin to describe their sound, which is also much more melodic and varied than those comparisons suggest
