In eventualitatea ca cineva este curios cum a fost la concertul The Jet-Sons... Sonorizare excelenta, atmosfera placuta, public nu prea mare, undeva catre 100 de persoane... Financiar, la limita... Eu sunt multumit...
Iar cu aceatsa ocazie le transmit celor care au de comentat cum ca nu se intampla nimic: sa-si beleasca pula, sa-si taie coaiele cu lama si sa si le bage pe gat. Si nu, nu sunt furios... absolut deloc. Nu sunt nici furios nici depresiv... Doar ca sunt multi guralivi care se dau mari... Si celor amatori de chestii serioase, va rog mergeti la partyul din 26 sept.... O sa fie cu coaie si nu se va putea compara cu un eveniment live... Va fi mult mai bine acolo... Distractie si dans, muzica buna.... Asadar go party....

Si mai sunt de transmis multumirile celor care m-au sustinut moral si material ca sa reusesc sa duc la capat inca un eveniment.... Si trebuie sa transmit toate cele bune celor din public, celor care inca se mai simt bine la un concert si care incearca pe cat pot sa sustina asemenea evenimente si care, presupun, ca simt cat de cat muzica...

F.T.W.!!!

Pineda Psychobilly Meeting 2009

The Pineda Psychobilly Meeting (originally held in the adjoining town, Calella) has it's origins in 1992, when a basic and less elaborate form of the festival brought Psychobilly to the Spanish coast for the first time.
Since then the festival has evolved into one of the most important Psychobilly festivals in the world. It is held annually during the last weekend in June and the current location of the main event is on the beach in Pineda de Mar.
The Psychobilly Meeting has turned into a full week's Psychobilly holiday with concerts and parties begining on the Tuesday before the main festival and ending on the following Monday. Aswell as the concerts at the marquee during the weekend, there are also concerts in local clubs, parties and dj's at a bar on the beach, pool parties and other activities. Sun, sangría and Psychobilly... the Pineda Psychobilly Meeting really is a perfect holiday!
This year the Meeting kicked-off on Tuesday, June 23rd with a band at the Beach Bar at night. Spanish band "THE NU-NILES" kicked-off the party in style with their special brand of neo-rockabilly. DJ Psycho Rebel & DJ Sinner a gogo kept the night rocking and DJ Ghostrider 59 and DJ Koefte De Ville had us shaking till the early hours; the atmosphere was unbeatable, the 23rd is a big festival in Spain, during which we celebrate the summer solstice so there were fireworks all night... a great start to the Meeting!
On Wednesday, June 24th we enjoyed the performances of NITRO 17 and CAT O NINE TAILS in the venue Magma. DJ Psycho Rebel and DJ Sinner a gogo kept the party going all night long. On Thursday, June 25th we enjoyed a free barbeque at the beach bar and the atmosphere was set by DJ Pepe 7Wheels. That night, also at the Magma, the djing was left in the careful hands of DJ Koefete de Ville. The audience witnessed energetic and bone shaking performances form the vibrant BEAT DEVILS, Spanish old-timers BRIOLES, the classic French band ASTROZOMBIES (bosting one of the most talented base players in Psychobilly) and closing with the ever-gory, ever-rocking "DEMENTED ARE GO".
On Friday we were treated to another free barbeque at the beach bar while DJ Francis knocked-out the tunes.
For Friday 26th, Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th the venue is changed to a large marquee on the beach in Pineda which accommodates a lot more people. Here we can find bars selling food and drink, tables and benches in the open-air, a market selling t-shirts, records, clothes and other merchandise... and of course, a large stage prepared for a 3 day intensive Psychobilly onslaught.
Friday night kicked-off at 21.00 with the superb performance of GRAVEYARD JOHNNY'S. This was there first time at the Meeting, but it I hope it won't be the last. Brandishing a very fresh combination of classic Teddy-boy rockabilly combined with modern influences, folk and punk they had the extremely difficult task of being the fist band to step on the stage and has to deal with poor sound, technical problems on stage and all the problems that come with the responsability of being the 1st band. It would have been great to see them again without the technical problems, hopefully in another edition!!
After these guys it was the turn of REZUREX. Fronted by Daniel de Leon, this LA combo is increasingly popular in Spain and a regular at the Meeting. They performed flawlessly... but unfortunately the poor sound was to cause problems for all the bands on Friday night. Despite an outstanding performance form the bands on Friday night, the sound technician didn't arrive to fix the sound problems until the very end of the first night, when there were just 3 songs left!!
CARAVANS is a band that never lets down an audience, playing a folky-english style of something between Ted and Psychobilly... a great performance ruined by the sound. The same can be said for LONG TALL TEXANS and even for PAUL FENECH. Great performances ruined by the sound problems.
All in all the line-up on Friday was outstanding and the bands gave 110%, but there was no excuse for the sound technician arriving at 2.30 am when it was nearly over. DJ Tommy Drocker and DJ Calamity Man spun the tunes for the rest of the night.

On Saturday 27th DJ Ghostrider 59 played the tunes at the Beach Bar. When the marquee opened on Saturday night the sound technician was there.
There was no comparison for the sound on Friday and Saturday nights: GUITAR SLINGERS took the stage at 21.00 and rocked us to the core with their elaborate combination of 80's style Psychobilly with their own special cocktail of influences ranging from country and punk to English Pub songs.. fantastic!!
A fantastic surprise came next with the spectacular, powerful and agressive performance of Japanese band "BATTLE OF NINJAMANZ"... when the band finished their energetic set the audience was starving for more, insistently asking for encores.
The GO-GETTERS where the next band to take the stage. It was hard to follow an act such as the BATTLE OF NINJAMANZ, and especially for a band that play neo-rockabilly. The GO-GETTERS have a large fan-base in Spain, but mainly amongst Rockabilly's. The GO-GETTERS had a difficult time following-on from BATTLE OF NINJAMANZ, and the absence of their die-hard fans didn't help.
Next up was ex- KREWMEN singer "MAD DOG COLE". He returned to the scene a couple of years ago bringing us Psychobilly classics in his extremely distinctive voice and style. Although his style mainly appeals to old KREWMEN fans (of which there are plenty) his style and performance has really improved since his return and his show gets the whole audience rocking... whether you're a fan or not.
The band that closed Saturday night (an excellent choice in my opinion) was FRENZY. Frenzy has played on numerous occasions at the Psychobilly Meeting over the years, but never before as a headliner. They deserve this position. FRENZY proved once again that they are truly in a league of their own, The skill, energy and compenetration of the band is a level above any other Psychobilly band. During the song "Clockwork Toy" huge inflatable balls and dolphins were released onto the audience, causing us all to jump up and down even more... and as always, they blew our heads-off with their hit "I SEE RED".
DJ Psycho Rebel and DJ Sinner a gogo took the controls and kept the dance floor full for the rest of the night.
On Sunday 28th we were treated to a pool party at Hotel Paradis with paella and sangría while DJ Tommy Drocker and DJ Calamity Man played the tunes.
The Djing on Sunday night was left to DJ Ghostrider 59. The sudience enjoyed the spooky B-movie style of Spanish band MOTORZOMBIS kicking-off the nights concerts. This was followed by an explosive performance from THE ARKHAMS, a band from the States that's hitting hard this year... and that went down a storm at the Meeting!! Old-timers SURF RATS brought back fond memories to original Psychobillies; P.O.X. gave a powerful performance and RICOCHETS provided another treat for fans of classic old-school Psychobilly.
The 2009 Psychobilly was put to rest with one final party at the Beach Bar on Monday wher the last remaing Psychobillies enjoyed the end of their holiday with a "battle of the DJ's", plenty of cold drinks and the final few hours of sand, sea and sun... until next year!
Another fabulous edition all in all, now we must wait another year for the next one!!

Oameni buni... Am vazut Social D.... Da, chiar i-am vazut... Si a fost frumos, grozav, excelent, nemaipomenit... A fost frumos, cred ca este de ajuns sa spun doar atat... Un conceet mult, mult asteptat... Cam vreo 10 ani... Si a fost pe masura asteptarilor... Nu toata lumea a simtit ca si mine, sunt convins... Poate nimeni... Dar chiar mi-au dat lacrimile ascultand Sick Boy si Don't Drag me down si Story Of My Life... Da, poate suna patetic, dar chiar mi-au dat lacrimile... Nu de emotie... Ci pentru ca le-am simtit adanc in inima mea... Si sa nu uit Reach For the Sky... A fost cum trebuia sa fie... Singurul lucru trist este ca nu am avut pe nimeni apropiat cu care sa impart bucuria de a fi acolo... Si linistea...

Deschiderea a fost facuta de Durango Riot (SWE), punk-stoner, niste tinerei care pot sa dea lectii multor, de fapt majoritatii trupelor de pe plaiurile noastre... Left Alone, amuzanti, cu un " Rancid touch"... Si ei au sunt foarte bine... Punk-rock melodic ce te bine dispune...

Vineri au cantat The Silver Shine... Au cantat bine, dar am fost mult prea obosit pt. a putea aprecia cum trebuie sau mai bine zis pt. a putea rezona la atmosfera din sala...

Astazi am avut o zi destul de grea... Daca tot am avut parte de lucruri bune zilele trecute...

Si in curand ma duc sa dorm... Asadar, dragi cititori va doresc o noapte placuta...

Primul album al trupei americane Los Difuntos, psychobilly, punkabilly... Un album melodic, plin de forta... O muzica ce te face sa te simti bine atunci cand o asculti...
Nu am cuvinte pretentioase... Nu este ceva pe care sa-l lauzi din cale afara... Doar muzica ce poate sa iti placa sau nu... Eu unul ma vad ascultand si peste 10-20 de ani un asemenea album...
Simplu si sincer... Asa cum ar trebui sa fie majoritatea lucrurilor... Sa te faca sa simti ceva...

....si intr-un final, concertul.....

Timisoara, Vineri, 10.10.2008

Nu am prins ThrashFest-ul de la inceput deoarece a trebuit sa astept trupa, sa-i ajut cu sculele, drumul... etc.... Toate trupele au sunat bine, chiar daca nu imi plac genurile crust sau thrashcore...
Show-ul The Silver Shine a ost incendiar, cu doua biss-uri... Tuturor le-a placut... Mai ales ca psychobilly nu e atat de popular prin scumpa noatra tarisoara...

Satu Mare, Sambata, 11.10.2008

Concertul a iesit bine... Surpriza cea mai mare: public format din copii de 15-17 ani... Incredibil, dar au fost vreo suta... Pe cei peste 20 de ani as fi putut sa-i numar pe degetele de la 2 maini...

Bucuresti, Duminica, 12.10.2008

Cel de-al doilea concert incendiar... S-a vazut cat de bine a prins la public... Toti erau entuziasmati... Pacat ca nu au putut ajunge acolo 2 buni prieteni de-ai mei... A fost excelent... Poate vom mai ajunge prin Fire si altadata...

Cam atat pot scrie deocamdata.... Cand ma voi simti in stare, voi continua...

Si fiindca ieri a fost 13, un vecin mi-a lovit masina... Exact de ce aveam nevoie pe caldurile astea... ;)
Se rezolva, dar numai de umblat nu aveam chef... Haha... A fost misto, mai ales ca am fost de fata... Masina parcata... Nici macar nu eram in trafic... Futu-i... Se intampla...
Asadar mi-am petrecut o seara pilina de nervi, dar a trecut... Cred....

Caldura mare.... Mai ca ma astept ca oamenii sa se descompuna pe starad... Nu e cazul sa se transforme in zombie, dar macar sa putrezeasca mergand.... Ar fi fost ceva... Nu se va intampla....

In alta ordine de idei, concertul Anti Flag a fost ok... Cu toate ca nu am mai ascultat albume de ale trupei de multa vreme.... Nu a fost foarte multa lume, dar mi-a placut ca erau copilandri care chiar stiau piesele... A fost ok... Mie mi-au parut cam efeminati baietii, dar nu sunt i masura sa-i judec.... Iar jocul scenic a fost parca putin fortat...
In schimb am fost placut impresionat de cover "Folsom Prison Blues" al lui Johnny Cash...
Nu ma asteptam... A fost fain....
Poze de la concert nu am deocamdata...

The Silver Shine

Concertul de aseara a fost super... Cel putin pentru mine.
Formatia pare sa fi prins la public. Astept pareri. Oamenii de aseara au avut reactii pozitive si parea sa fi placut multora.
Eu trebuie sa scult in curand noul lor album si apoi mai vad ce postez. Pana una, alta, primul concert psychobilly a fost un succes. Din pacate nu am fotografii, dar poate reusesc sa fac rost de cateva la un moment dat.
