As I am the organizer of this event, no one scolds me if I don´t send a bio or list or anything.
I don’t know the songs that I’m going to play, but I promise to commit every kind of stumbling as I do every year: spin the wrong side, stop the song that it’s on and so on.
This Dutchman is as tall as mad. Resident Dj at Dietpe (RIP) , the (in) famous garage punk club in Amsterdam, among many other venues and clubs, he manages festivals and tours, but is also a road manager, an illustrator, plays drums and guitar in lots of bands (Amoks, Los Looches, The Anomalys, The Pedro Delgados, Sex Organs), and so on and on and on.
We still don’t know what will be in his bag, as he treasures garage 45s, punk, Nederbeat, Bollywood schlock… he digs anything “superloud”!!!
DJ PETE SLOVENLY, legendary creator of Slovenly Records provides primitive beats by living, breathing, fucking, intelligent souls! Groups of humans playing instruments with strings and skins! Recordings played from vinyl, like the original DJs (that stands for Disc Jockeys, kids) did on the radio…blaring all kindsa stuff: from frat pounders, 60s beat-punk, garage-fuzz, surf , 70s punk, western & 50s R&R, exotica,60s greasy soul & r’n’b shakers,90s garagepunk trash, jamaican ska,freaky cumbias, and whatever weird-o sounds he finds to make your dancefloor move
Scotland’s top Rock n’ Roll Combo!
In keeping with great Rock & Roll, Lord Rochester embrace the simplicity of sound and song using the maraca powered shuffle of artists such as Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed and Lonnie Mack to create great stripped back driven rock and roll.
Entertaining and stylish!
Since they first got together in 2008 they have released a lot of vinyl and two CDs. Lord Rochester have also performed in session for the BBC, recorded at the famous Perrotti Studios in Gijon, Spain and provide the theme music for the ’Vic Galloway Show’ on BBC Radio Scotland.
Scotland’s best sounding (and best looking) rock and roll show have toured Japan, played all over Europe and the UK and toured their native Scotland from the Borders to Aberdeenshire and from the Central Belt to the Highlands and not forgetting the Shetland Islands. Be it high profile music festivals or small intimate shows, the effect is the same; always entertaining and stylish, the trio (guitar, bass, spartan drum set and three voices) bewitch the audience, large or small. Fundamentally, Lord Rochester is one of the easiest bands to put on, they turn up on time, have a very short sound-check, have the best looking guitars and are decked out in tartan
Kenny and his daughter, vocalist and drummer Inez McClain, formed the nucleus of the Exbats over a decade ago, when Inez was just 10 years old; today, Bobby Carlson rounds out the group on bass. Despite their remote location in Bisbee, Arizona, just 11 miles north of the U.S.-Mexican border, the group quickly racked up accolades citing a wealth of influences that run from cartoon quintet the Archies to punk rock originators the Avengers, and from the so-sweet-it-hurts 1910 Fruitgum Company to Los Angeles antiheroes the Weirdos. Truthfully, the Exbats embrace a wider swath of musical styles, incorporating blue-eyed soul, tongue-in-cheek country, Brit pop, psych, and R&B into their sound.
Like the best records to croon along with, Now Where Were We is captivatingly simple, yet hardly simplistic. The Exbats are singing from their hearts—and they aren’t afraid to bare their souls. “We’re an honest band, doing our best,” Kenny says. “Maybe listeners will feel like their ears are refreshed and ready for more noise from the world, or maybe they’ll feel like they found a new friend that isn’t remote or shrouded by commercial intentions. Maybe some of these songs will get stuck in their heads. We hope they smile and sing along.”
Without a warning, it’s been more than 20 years behind the decks in many parties. For ten years our own Shuffle Club nights took place at the much-missed Swan venue, with plenty of the best national and international guest djs; and these days I coorganize the Siluro Garage Beat allnighters, with bands on stage now too. Besides, over these years, those gentle people who spend their time and money on others having a good time, have invited me to spin records in Chicago, London, Germany, Funtastic, EuroYeye, GoSinnerGo and a long batch of retrograde parties in Spain. Oh! For many years I also did a radio show that you still can enjoy on-line here (http://nmdt.blogspot.com.es)
