– Interview with NOTS, raw and slashing earworm punk band from Memphis

KING TEARS MORTUARY, Sydney, Australia’s answer to the question “What would a mix of C86, KBD punk and The Gories sound like?”

The purported theme of our podcast, magazine and blog is “raw and sub-underground rocknroll from the last five decades”. This new edition of DYNAMITE HEMORRHAGE RADIO, #50, goes heavy on the first and most recent of those decades. Two blazing new tracks from the just-released 60s punk comp “Back From The Grave, Volume 9” make their 21st century online debuts here – and if that’s not reason enough to download or stream this thing, there’s new material from the likes of Parkay Quarts, The Coneheads, Le Skeleton, Germ House, Leggy, Honey Radar, Rakta, Sauna Youth, Bent, The Blind Shake and Pampers. Pampers!

There’s a blown-out bootleg recording from the Velvet Underground, a little punk rock tomfoolery and all sorts of needless verbal blather from the host. In all, it’s 74 minutes you won’t ever get back – unless you play it a second time.

If you missed the most recent Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio podcast, here it is. New one coming in the next 24 hours.

dynamitehemorrhage:

Broadcasting from a laptop in San Francisco, California, Dynamite Hemorrhage Radio #49 is all about top-tier sub-underground rocknroll from the last five decades. Not a song is wasted, because in a short-attention-span world, we need to bring it, and modesty aside – the show brings it, especially if you use the “scrubber” to skip over the horrifically annoying host. 

Then you’re left with righteous new stuff from BENT (pictured), DREAMSALON, THE FIREWORKS, ULTIMATE PAINTING and NOTS – along with classy material from days of yore by Pussy Galore, Feedtime, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Animals and Men, Honey Radar, England’s Glory, Sally Skull, Neon Boys, Syd Barrett and much more. Get it while it’s steaming and fresh – download it or stream it now before the squares do.

One of the internet’s most valuable resources, GUNILLA MIXTAPES, just resurfaced on Tumblr. This is important. Camille’s digital “mixtapes” – that’s really all her site is – is a goldmine of 45- or LP-only obscurities from the serrated edges of postpunk and artpunk. Nearly exclusively female-fronted, I might add.

Her site turned me onto untold numbers of wild banshees and demented art students, and her digitization skills are a global treasure. Dig in now before she decides to take it away from us.

This is a picture of Nina Childress from LUCRATE MILK. I first came across the band’s music in 2005 via a CD-R found by Brian Turner from WFMU, and wrote up this short piece here. No, there never was a “France 1981” album – and amazing to think how little there was on the band online in 2005, and how much there is now.

LUCRATE MILK : “FRANCE 1981” CD-R……

A super-obscurity dug up by master digger Brian over at WFMU. Information is plentiful online regarding LUCRATE MILK, but the problem is it’s all in French, and I can’t do French. Those “instant translation” services aren’t quite up to the job yet either, so I’ll tell you what I can gander just from listening to the music. If Lora Logic and Poly Styrene had been charter members of the early ½ JAPANESE, they might’ve sounded something like this – disjointed, fractured riffs & splayed avant-sound all over the place, accented by a pumping saxophone making an annoyance of itself in the background. Though I have been able to figure out that they played live with THROBBING GRISTLE, their sound wasn’t quite as extreme nor off-putting. No, it really does remind me of “½ Gentlemen Not Beasts” or “Loud” with female vocals – and while it is probably French being sung, it could be Finnish or Flemish or Farsi. It’s pretty wacked. And it’s very likely that the title of the LP – if there was an LP – is not “France 1981”. A near-mystery band for now, but one I can see crate diggers busting a nut over during the next couple of collecting seasons.
