Jello Biafra & Mojo Nixon – Prairie Home Invasion [1994]

April 9, 2010 1 comment
One of my favorite post-Dead Kennedys efforts from Mr. Biafra. The first time I listened I was just floored by the musical style. It had been the first time I heard Mojo Nixon and I was used to Jello being all about punk because of DK and his collaborations with NoMeansNo and D.O.A.. But Mojo’s cow-punk style was a nice change from all of that.

This first listen the most I got out of it was the wonderfully done music and only a few of the lyrics, namely the Phil Ochs remake “Love Me I’m a Liberal”. I was still impressed. Then I gave it a few more passing listens and didn’t get much more from it, but still loved it.

But I recently bought the album on vinyl and listened again and this time I feel I took a lot more from it. I finally paid attention to the lyrics more and understood their meaning. Jello throws out a lot of bitter remarks to his old DK band mates, namely in “Buy My Snake Oil” he states “Give in/Ride the punk nostalgia wave/For all it’s worth/Recycle the name of my … Read more.

Ludwig Von 88 – Houla La! [1986]

March 25, 2010 Leave a comment

Ludwig von 88 is a French punk rock and alternative rock band mostly active in the 1980s and 1990s, and which gained an important success in the underground scene of its country. The band has not released any new material since 2001, but has not disbanded and is thus officially still active. Their music is quite similar to that of influent French punks Bérurier Noir: two-fingered and distorted guitar chords and drum machine as a drummer. Their lyrics evolved along their career from nonsensical and often juvenile humour to something more serious and sometimes social and political.
The band had different line-ups, among which the most famous from the late 80’s featured Karim Berrouka on vocals, Nobru (real name Bruno Garcia, his new pseudonymn is Sergent Garcia) on guitars, Laurent and then Charlu on bass, and Jean-Mi on programming.
They made their reputation through endless and delirious shows performed by disguised musicians. Among their notable stage clothing: cycling jerseys, diving suits, Mexican ponchos and various funny headgear.
Some of their songs are satires on stars like Louison Bobet, Nicolae Ceauşescu, Maria Callas, Jacques Chirac, Jodie Foster or deal with more serious topics like war: “Libannais raides”, “Hiroshima”; drugs: “Le Manège enchanté”, “Kaliman”; and misery: “LSD for Ethiopie”, “In the Ghettos” — always with irony.

Teengenerate were a Japanese garage punk band known for their fun style of playing garage rock with a sense of humor and often incomprehensible English lyrics. After disbanding for a time, some of its members (Fifi, Fink and Sammy) went on to start the band Firestarter. At the time of their split, Teengenerate consisted of Fink (guitar, vocals), Fifi (guitar, vocals), Sammy (bass) and Shoe (drums). Their original drummer was called Suck. In 2005, Teengenerate reformed for a series of shows worldwide, gaining new fans and gathering old ones back into the fold. Other past bands that featured Teengenerate members include: Fifi and the Mach III, the Raydios and the Tweezers.[1] The Teengenerate song “My GTO” was used in the 2000 film WILD ZERO, directed by Tetsuro Takeuchi.
