THE MONDO-CITY MOTORPSYCHOS

Variable Lag EP

This little gem fell into my hands while I was putting Daydream Generation 9 together. Here’s what I managed to dig up on these guys:

“The MCMP hail from Las Vegas where they were chucked out of the casino circuit fore playing too sleazy. They now frequent bars at the less profitable end of the strip where their brand of garage’y 60’s R&B is both appreciated and reviled.”

FIG MINTS (OF YOUR IMAGINATION)

We Love You EP

Next up we’ve got… wait for it… brand new Fig Mints! (Ah shit, that doesn’t work, does it? You already knew it was them from the title…) Anyway, it’s still something to get excited about. Here’s what Bobby has to say about it:

“This is the single for a song on the upcoming album, Say Okay. It includes the new release of a song called We Love You, as well as a remixed release of What Happened to Holiday, which originally appeared on Daydream Generation #8; Venus (Don’t Believe In Us), which was previously only available aboard an imaginary sea vessel; and Missed Bliss, a demo for a different upcoming album tentatively titled Bad Age for the Underdog.”

…

Finally there’s two, yes TWO new records from Planet Le Keux. They are:

PAULO RHYTHM & HIS PHANTOM BLUES

Live At The Strip Club

A spokesman for Uberfuzz said: “This was recorded at Rugby’s’ The Strip Club and consists of Paul playing old blues and R&B numbers with a guitar, tambourine with his foot, and singing through a distorted old guitar amp for maximum blues dirgeness. It owes as much to groups like The Cramps and The Gories as it does to Leadbelly and Bo Diddley.”

and…

ROCKETSHIPS OF LOVE

Sonic Ashtray

Second full-length record from Rocketships of Love. If you don’t know anything about this project, here’s what it’s all about:

***PROPERLY WIRED…FULLY EARTHED…From Rugby, ROL is a celebration of all things electronic and operating outside of normal gravity fields. The transmissions you are receiving are all cover versions except the instrumental pieces and are salutes to fellow space travellers. These renditions have been used to develop the ROL sound (acheived predominantly by the use of a MicroKorg Modular Synthesizer, Boss Drum Machine, electronic toys and various effects pedals). Vocal performaces are delivered by Kelly Le keux of ‘Uberfuzz’, Matt Storer of ‘Uberfuzz’ (www.myspace.com/uberfuz2) and ‘Elfwood Prattali’ (www.myspace.com/prettyboybluei) to name a few. All songs are mastered by Regal 3/30***
