I will leave you with this

'Eskimo's on Acid'

(Koti is also 'o Lendario Chucrobillyman' - I love Brazil)

And I will see you when I have space to think again.

Staying in Sao Paolo,

Jesus and the Groupies have just released their new album

This album lurches wildly

but effortlessly between genres

but then it will grow on you

like a benign tumour.

TUMBA SWING - One Man Band

noreply@blogger.com (JCAM) — Mon, 09 May 2011 02:26:00 +0000

Tumba Swing is another one-man-band from Spain, this one decidedly rawer than his compatriot One Hand's Man Band, whom I posted before this. But this just goes to show that the INTERNATIONAL ONE-MAN-BAND REVOLUTION is worthy of capitals, like I'm screaming it off a roof. One guy/girl ramming away on a guitar and percussion, drowning out their own lyrics, that if you would hear them would help you understand the secret to the seven seals enclosed in the book of revelation. 666. That said, I know nothing more about this guy than you, apart from the video below. But the word will be spread even further. Now.

TUMBA SWING (La orija para el toro)

One Hand's Man Band

noreply@blogger.com (JCAM) — Tue, 03 May 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Hey Syphilites,

I've been away from the one-man-bands for a while but this one was easy as it was sent straight into my inbox. One Hand Man's Band is a one-man-band from Spain, playing serious punk-blues. (By the way, do not confuse this act with One Man Hand, which is a one-man-band from Portugal). This guy reminds me a little bit of Jawbone. Good stuff.

This is him live in January of this year

And this is in June of 2010 in Madrid

the deliciousness is found at Candy Dinner

a label that incidentally

is chockfull of free downloads

it thrives on it

Let's go Eskimo - Demo (2010)

noreply@blogger.com (JCAM) — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 09:21:00 +0000

Let's Go Eskimo are a blues/punk band from the Netherlands that you should listen to. Which you can. Because their demo can be downloaded for free from Soundcloud. Awesome. Or listen to them below. By the way, these guys also opened for the Cut In the Hill Gang - the supergroup which a.o. consists of James Leg of the Black Diamond Heavies - (and holy fuckballs, have you listened to James Leg's solo-album yet?) - so, back to Let's Go Eskimo, these guys are in good company. Listen to their demo. And wait for their album to show itself.

There is so much more I could say about this great album

free album

The Backseat Drivers - Walkabout EP

noreply@blogger.com (JCAM) — Sat, 02 Apr 2011 21:42:00 +0000

Hey Syphilites,

I posted two EP's by the Backseat Drivers before here. This is their newest one: Walkabout, made available by the band the band themselves and their label Mamma Vendetta. A great EP, but you will have to let it grow on you - first I thought it sounded like noise - then things started to merge and I realised there was sense in the madness - A psych/bubble gum-pop mixture so volatile it will make your hips gyrate as if possessed.

The band was supported

on the EP

by acts

such as

O Lendário Chucrobillyman
Renato Gimenez

andMari e Mayra Trash

You want this.

Download it.
