HANDLE (UK) + KANIPCHEN-FIT + DJ STEVE

HANDLE (UK, Absolute Fiction/Upset! The Rhythm)

HANDLE incorporate a diverse range of influences, from samba to no wave. Handle, a three-piece from Manchester (now based between Manchester/London/Brussels) make a uniquely minimal sound, buoyed by poetic, urgent vocals. Each instrument (bass, drums, keyboard and voice) is permitted its own space, yet somehow the result is a brilliantly unified yet understated sonic experience that demands then commands your attention

Handle is made up of Giulio Erasmus and Nirvana Heire (former members of D.U.D.S) and Leo Hermitt, a genderqueer multidisciplinary artist, renowned for their challenging, thought-provoking work on the city’s arts and literary scenes. The group mesh politics with a trans experience of time and a vibrant, avant-garde freedom of approach.

KANIPCHEN-FIT

KANIPCHEN-FIT GOT A NEW RELEASE “Survival Moves”! (EmGlo Records) which is this duo still musically shifting from aggressive pieces to melancholic songs and lots of funky grooves and moves in between.

Fronted by performance artist, vocalist, poet Gloria formerly of the legendary, all-female group of performance-based New York poets called the Pussy Poets and Empee Holwerda from the Dutch bands punk-wave Lul, through new-wavy post-postrock of Solbakken, to his current bluesy rock-grooves on guitar, beats & sounds, and vocals. Some even went as far as to call it funky protest music for the twenty-first century. Their songs are simple and straightforward, double vocals, a rough and loud guitar, with unexpected rhythmic and harmonic changes, with spoken word, avoiding rock-clichés.

They’ve played in the US, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia. They’ve also opened for Thurston Moore (US), Blurt (UK), Wire (UK), and The Ex (NL).

Today I'm listening to the insane sounds of Australia's own eggpunk aficionados, Research Reactor Corp, and finding it soothing.

If you're brave, there are some raw, weird, herky jerky (but still catchy) examples of their songs here: https://warttmanninc.bandcamp.com/album/research-reactor-corp-cassingle

It's Bandcamp Friday (all the money goes to the artists today!) and I finally bought two of my favorite albums.

The first is 'No Future, Tell the Kids' by The Thirties. (It's not miserable or hopeless music despite the title, it's actually very hopeful and uplifting). I streamed this one so much it didn't let me listen anymore til I paid, and I was HAPPY to. GREAT bunch of punk-esque rock songs with killer lyrics about how the Sacklers and incels suck. (Seriously, check it out). https://thethirties.bandcamp.com/album/no-future-tell-the-kids

Second purchase of the day is another of my favorite albums, 'Eternally Stupid' by Bluff City Vice. This stuff is magical. I don't even know.. kinda electronica, punkish, like if a garage rock/punk band was obsessed with dirty hiphop beats and Beck? I don't know. Catchy, irresistible. https://bluffcityvice.bandcamp.com/album/eternally-stupid

Discovered this underground garage/weird/punk rock label out of Belgium called Belly Button Records and there are SO MANY artists and albums on it (many are made by one dude, the owner) that I dig. It's so wild to see amazing garage rock is still out there being made.

I stumbled across the label via Instagram, strangely, a band called Plexi Stad who have an amazing new album called 'Probation Baby', and other awesome bands on the label are Mitraille, Moar (the guy who owns the label), Roda Lits, Warm Exit..

THEN Bandcamp suggests OTHER bands/artists I end up loving like Cereal Killer and Fruit Tones.

New, rough, raw, punky rock and roll via Belgium. Who knew. I'd been LOOKING for stuff like this. I always am.

Something for everyone:
