Cultural Decay

Cultural Decay existed from 1980-1982. The band's collective discography is comprised of a highly sought after 7' single and two song 12' EP. The latter was produced and features additional accompaniment by future Revolting Cocks co-founder Luc Van Acker. The band played a total of 15 gigs in local clubs with like minded Belgian acts such as Struggler, De Brassers, and Siglo XX before disbanding.Eight Ways To Start a Day is the first official release in close to three decades from this fabled Belgia.

Punkadelic

Inner City Unit, a devolving London five piece whose music is so far over the edge that it almost defies comprehension, Had the Bonzo Dog Band spent the `70s attending muddy rock festivals this might have been the outcome.

Emotion

I'm so Hollow was one of the many bands that formed in 1978. The "Hollow" sound came after several months of practice sessions in the cellar at Joe Sawicki's parents house. They played their first gig with ClockDVA in the Penthouse Club in Sheffield. Many gigs followed with bands like Vice Versa and their biggest gig at the Leeds Futurama festival in 1980, of which a clip is shown in 'Made in Sheffield'.

Tuxedomoon

Tuxedomoon was an avant-garde, electronic-oriented collective whose music ranged from new wave pop to jazz fusion to more experimental synthesizer soundscapes (usually including saxophone and violin), which were frequently married in concert to performance-art shows. Tuxedomoon was formed in San Francisco in 1977 by two electronic music students at San Francisco City College, Blaine L. Reininger (keyboards, violin) and Steven Brown (keyboards, other instruments).

This song is fucking great.

Ok Let's Go

Metropak were a band in Edinburgh circa 1979/80. We were inspired by the New Wave/Punk explosion started at around that time when bands started their own independant labels and made their own records. They were contemporary in Edinburgh at that time with Fire Engines, TV Art, Josef K, Scars, Flowers, Rezillos, The Visitors, The Freeze, It's Over It's Over It's Over, Boots for dancing, Matt Vinyl and the Decorators, Jacki And All The Ones and many more.

Stop Ballast Water Invasions

The Fire Engines are a post punk band from Edinburgh, Scotland. The band was a part of the same literary art-punk scene as the Scars and their most famous contemporaries, Josef K. They grew out of the Dirty Reds which had actor Tam Dean Burn as singer. Vocals and guitar were performed by David Henderson, guitar by Murray Slade, bass by Graham Main, and on drums, Russell Burn. Henderson went on to form Win in the mid 1980s and then The Nectarine n°9 from the early 1990s until 2004. He is now working on a new band called The Sexual Objects who released a single on the Creeping Bent label in 2007.

Dogs In Space

The film is set in the post-punk "little band scene" in Melbourne in 1979.Is a stylish and chaotic film about a group of punk music fans sharing a house in the inner Melbourne suburb of Richmond.



I was very young but the whole impact and first view ever on that world had a huge unconscious influence on my future aesthetics and way of life.
Needless to say the whole soundtrack is totally amazing:
"Dog Food" (Iggy Pop)
"Dogs In Space" (Michael Hutchence)
"Win/Lose" (Ollie Olsen)
"Anthrax" (Gang of Four)
"Skysaw" (Brian Eno)
"True Love" (Marching Girls)
"Shivers" (Boys Next Door)
"Diseases" (Thrush & the Cunts)
"Pumping Ugly Muscle" (The Primitive Calculators)
"Endless Sea" (Iggy Pop)







Believe it or not,i also found it on youtube.take a look

Lux Interior R.I.P.

// 04-02-09 //
Lux Interior, founder of seminal psychobilly band The Cramps, died of a heart condition in California. The 60-year-old singer, whose given name was Erick Lee Purkhiser, was a long time force (along with his wife, Poison Ivy) on the New York rock scene, having formed The Cramps over 30 years ago. The band, known for its theatrical style and love of B horror movies, made a name for itself playing venues like CBGBs and Max's Kansas City.

Happy Funeral

Kitchen & the Plastic Spoons are an experimental punk band from Sweden

After more than 25 years they slowly discovered that a new, young generation with fresh ears have taken Kitchen and the Plastic Spoons to their hearts. -Do the world needs another CD that no one buys ? They asked theirself.





I recommend :

Kitchen and The Plastic Spoons "Best Off"



it is a 20 track CD, contains almost all studio tracks ever recorded including mostly never before released material. In addition all nine live tracks feature songs never released or even bootlegged.

Crisis

CRISIS were contemporaries of bands such as CRASS, GANG OF FOUR and JOY DIVISION and sound exactly like that, but are compared to the other groups mentioned still a bit underrated. CRISIS is slow and melancholic punkrock that could be compared to THE MOB (UK) with political slogans thrown in - the best stuff when you feel hopeless and sad.

We Are All Animals

A must have for Discordo lovers:
//DIAGRAM BROTHERS//SOME MARVELS OF MODERN SCIENCE//1981//


The Diagram Brothers were a post-punk band from Manchester,England active between 1979 and 1982.
WE ARE ALL ANIMALS was the first ep released in 1980 (which i have an original 7" copy of).Its on my personal playlist at home aswell as at london loves indie club,where i usually like to spin it.



I suggest to search for one at some english flea market or record shop and listen to it on a vintage turntable.just as i like to do.

It is taken from a programme called "Sounds aus der Steckdose" which was aired in 1982 on Swiss Television.

Free Expression

Dum Dum Dum




It's 1980 and even punk's nihilism is looking overoptimistic. In the Oscar Wilde Rooms, a windowless cell in an Oxford College, Dum Dum Dum take the stage. Guitarist in balaclava, drummer with face painted half-white, half-black and a lead singer armed only with a strobe light, they play to tapes but with malevolent energy. The audience--half skinheads from town, half rugby players who've wandered in from the bar--begin to fight as the rugger-buggers object to having their feet pogoed on. The tape breaks down, and the singer starts pulling the skinheads onto the stage to sing "No Fun". But it's futile. On the mixing desk is a man whose main claim to fame is to have dropped acid at the South Pole. He now pushes everything through the roof and the sound itself becomes a rolling maul of feedback and echo. Serenading the mayhem in free-form, the singer strobes the crowd, catching figures in frozen postures of conflict and delight. The destruction erupts into the night. Good gig. (...) by mickjames

Celebrity Art Party

Referred to by fans as "the best band you never heard of," the Embarrassment also holds the distinction of being Wichita, KS' most influential band. The group's eclectic yet distinctive sound wrapped a post-punk approach and a deadpan sense of humor around pop, country, disco, and metal elements, crafting songs that rivaled the work of better-known contemporaries like Gang of Four, Mission of Burma, and the Feelies.




Late in 1979, the group debuted with the Patio Set/Sex Drive single, which introduced the Embarrassment's angular, multi-guitar attack and paved the way for appearances on compilations from Bomp and the Kansas-based label Fresh Sounds.

All About You

My first post is about The Scars, one of my favorite all time band.
Their album Author!Author! is quite hard to find but I got an original copy on ebay last year.
