Ludwig Von 88 - Live

Band: Ludwig Von 88
Album: Live
Country: France

Label: Bondage

Le Groupe

Après des débuts aux alentours de 1983, leur premier véritable disque sort en 1986 : Houlala. Il s'agit là de leurs premiers cris face à notre société en déroute. On les connaît pour avoir composé de nombreuses chansons au second (voire huitième ou vingtième degré) sur des vedettes : Louison Bobet, Ceausescu, Maria Callas, Jacques Chirac, ... Maniant l'ironie et dénonçant les travers et les clichés de la société, le groupe aura marqué le rock français. Leur nom, malgré la consonance allemande et l'utilisation du nombre 88, n'a strictement aucun rapport avec Adolf Hitler (la lettre H étant la huitième de l'alphabet, le nombre 88 est souvent utilisé par des mouvements nazis pour symboliser le Heil Hitler, HH, 88). Le "88" a plusieurs sens. Selon une interview de Karim, ce serait un pastiche du "77", nombre fétiche du mouvement punk, ou selon une autre interview de Nobru, il ferait référence au nombre de constellations recensées dans le ciel terrestre... entre autre. Il n'a, cependant, rien à voir avec le département des Vosges, le groupe étant originaire de Paris et de sa banlieue.

Leur humour décapant et surréaliste aborde parfois des thèmes plus sérieux tel que la guerre (Libannais raides, Hiroshima), la drogue (Le Manège enchanté, Kaliman) ou la misère (LSD for Ethiopie, In the Ghettos) toujours avec détachement et ironie.

Leur configuration musicale est celle de beaucoup de groupes de l'époque, développé par Métal Urbain et repris notamment par Bérurier Noir: guitare, boîte à rythme, chant et raïa derrière.

Le groupe a connu des formations diverses et variées mais se stabilise à la fin des 80's avec au chant Karim Berrouka, à la gratte Nobru (Bruno Garcia), à la basse Laurent puis Charlu, aux "machines" Jean-Mi. Ils sont alors connus pour leurs concerts survoltés qui durent des heures, leur sens de la déconne et leur costume « à l'arrache » (maillots de cyclistes, bonnets ridicules, équipements de plongée, ponchos mexicains...).

Si le groupe n'a jamais officiellement splité, il n'en reste pas moins en standby prolongé depuis janvier 1999. Nobru (Bruno Garcia de son vrai nom), le guitariste, officie désormais dans Sergent Garcia et Jean-Mi alias Junior Corny s'est lancé dans le dub. On le retrouve également derrière les machines de Béru.

L'album

Cet album fut enregistré quelques part dans les années 90 dans un lieu inconnu et diffusé par leur label sans le consentement du groupe.

The Band

Started mostly as a reaction to the Bérurier Noir (they preferred to choose goofyness insted of slogans), but they shared the same kind of music (punk with a beatbox) and stage madness. The band started somewhere in 1983 and release their first record in 1986 (Houlala). Their first 4 records, Houlala, Houlala II, Ce Jour Heureux Est Plein d'Allégresse and Tout Pour Le Trash are all essential french punk. Think Toy Dolls or the Dickies, but with a beatbox....

The album
This live album was recorded somewhere during the 90's in an unkown location and released without the band consent by their label. Still it's a good snapshot of the band!

Husker Du - Minneapolis Is Burning

Band: Husker Du
Album: Minneapolis Is Burning
Country: USA
Release Date: 1992
Label: Nu Noize Records

A nice show of Husker Du from the golden era (New Day Rising & Zen Arcade was already out and Flip Your Wig were coming soon after) recorded in their hometown at the First Avenue Club in Minneapolis on August 28 1985. Enjoy this great performance in good sound quality too !!

Husker Du Database Comments:

Soundboard tape of complete, unedited show that appears in edited form on the Lynndale's Burning boot LP and the Spin concert LP.

Alternately titled German boot of Lyndales Burning. Has different picture insert, taken from Warehouse photo sessions, and different artwork on disk itself. Otherwise the two appear to be the same, as the number on the disk is the same in both cases and "I Apologize" skips in the same spot on both CDs. The individual track times vary slightly. The track anomalies cited above regarding "Celebrated Summer" and "Folklore" are present in this case as well. If that's not sufficient evidence, both disks bear the holographic number WIZARD A 0321.

Supersnazz - Superstupid!

Band: Supersnazz
Album: Superstupid!
Country: Japan
Release Date: 1993
Label: Subpop

A great record by a cool japanese rock band. Japan didn't only produce the 5.6.7.8's !

Allmusic.com Review

On their 1993 Sub Pop debut, Superstupid!, Japanese rockers Supersnazz -- who borrow their name from an album by the Flamin' Groovies-- deliver an electric album of spiky, retro rock & roll. What they lack in technical prowess, they make up for with sheer spunkiness, showing fresh zeal for the simple pleasures of surf-tinged rock, without any of the jaded weariness of their American counterparts. With a joyous energy equaling that of fellow Japanese imports of the same era, Teengenerate and Guitar Wolf, these ladies approach their songs as if they were discovering the cool rebellion of rock & roll for the first time. They cruise through an album of simple high-energy songs, anchored by a rough garage-flavored guitar that launches into vigorous solos, and a direct, pummeling drum assault. Spike's frayed vocals slither, growl, and scream, and although the lyrics are often unintelligible through her thick accent, her tone clearly communicates a tough rock attitude. A noticeable standout, "Black Cat" opens with a low, menacing bassline and hovers at a cool mid-tempo beat, only losing its composure for a quick blast of adrenaline at the heart of the song. "Sometimes" is pure pop bubblegum, with the band members singing along together in a wave of innocent girlishness that makes for a sweet love song. Chock-full of odes to the golden era of '50s and '60s rock, including a cover of "Comanche" by Link Wray, which has a lo-fi muddy flavor, the album ends with a fantastic cover of "Papa Oom Mow Mow." Raw vocals explode into catcalls and screams before grinding down to a sultry beat and finishing off in a shower of giggles. Everything the genre should be -- tough, sexy, cool, and fun -- Supersnazz rocks.
