LP : M Women - Faithful (2011)



Another obscure finding in the 2011 lost gems ... M Women is a Seattle trio and im quite fond of the miscellaneous of sounds that came from the "Faithful" LP which comprises of a mix of influences from the 90s alternative as predominance with a strong Sonic Youth accent but also heavy shoegazing and some sweet garage surf waves in the middle, most definitely worth checking out.

Video : Joana Sá's - Through this Looking-Glass



Joana Sá's is one absolute mindblowing Portuguese avant-guard experimental pianist and i can't find the proper words to describe this !!!

"Trailer for the film "Through this Looking-Glass". Directed by Daniel Neves it captures the surreal and experimental sounds of Joana Sá's piece for piano of the same title by guiding the viewer to the sources of the sounds and to the world of childhood and dreams in classic black and white. The full-length film will be released on blinker in autumn 2010."

A day in Amsterdam : The Anomalys "Retox" videoshoot, Regal live at House of Rising



















Few weeks ago received a sick invitation from the Amsterdam garage punkers The Anomalys to be part of the videoshoot for "Retox" the upcoming EP on Slovenly, the video filming took place in Amsterdam's NDSM island at a little place that used to be a underground hangout with some quite peculiar surroundings and decoration, the best way to describe the place is some sort of naval bunker and the place was so tiny but we manage pretty fine ... it was complete sickness, 6 or 7 takes from "Retox" and each one getting wilder and crazier than the previous one and with lots of free booze to warm up the spirits cause it was sooooo freaking cold, the video is coming out if im not mistaken 13 March and i can't wait to see it !!!!!



After the Retoxing sick afternoon went to Miguels place to have dinner with some local friends and the French garage rock band Regal on transit to a concert at The House of Rising ... Miguel is soon to be my flatmate cause after 4 years in Haarlem im finally moving to Amsterdam on the 15 March .. whop whop whop ...





REGAL was a freaking blast, the sound was far from perfect and the voice was like at the end of the tunnel but like i said to the guys "This is not a symphony", they played really tight, fast and loud, they used the minimum resources and made it fun for everyone inside ... a real tribute to a garage rock concert ... well done boys :)



Mercie to the Stephane Serra from "L'apero Du Patron" best French delicatessen in Amsterdam and for helping put up the gig for Regal ... and Mercie also to the girls behind the bar all perfect too ... and for everybody that came on a freaking freazing night THANK YOU !!!!!!
