3D Disco Krup Clowns

Hella – Madonna Approaches R&B Blonde Wreckages

What is she approaching them for? Is she dumping Stuart Price already? Who the fuck cares, this is Hella and they are playing in Brighton on December 7th at The Engine Romms and we are going to be there come Hella high water ……………..(ow, stop hitting me).

When we played this at the last 20jfg Juan asked “is it meant to sound like that?” which has got to be a good sign. The answer is nothing does, but yeh, but no, but oh yessssssssss this is fucking great!

Almost epic gameboy prog rock (does that exist yet?) keyboarding with Hella’s legendary nutty as squirrel shit druming from Zach Hill. The top end has some real nasty fuzz and we were convinced the Freebutt speakers had ripped a tweeter. Make sure you duck for the explosion at the end.

If DJ Scotch Egg took some quaaludes while Ashley was on speed and acid they might vomit this 2.22 challenge up which unless you’re from Brighton will make no sense, so just go with us on this one. If you are from Brighton, can we try and arrange this sometime?

Meanwhile Madonna Approaches Archie Shepp with a re-wired Gameboy and plans to sample Iron Butterfly rumours fly like winged monkeys. This is the real sound for krumping baseball furie clowns.

This season : If you come to battle you can never wear too much makeup. Warriors extension pack planned soon.

Shit Disco – Disco Blood

Someone left this comment that said when are we going to give up and turn into an exclusively disco blog? XXJFG may step dangerously near to actually being jazz funk some days but you all know our heart is in noise, and if its got a good beat to it, so be it.

The Shit Disco boys seem to have the same ethos, and they put Day I Met God by Adam and The Ants in there top ten chart – 10 bonus points, ching ching!

I’m not too sure how much an instrumental version of this would sound like a lo-fi Arthur Russell production but the vocals namedrop enough to make us feel like they know their shit. This ain’t none of your Kil**rs, Bra**ry and the rest overproduced indie crap, this is the real deal punk disco bursting at the seems with all the attitude of Mark E Smith and the jittery nervous groove of early Talking Heads. If that doesn’t see you, it’s got cowbell on – what more do you want? Disco blood?

Not sure I would have Bobby Orlando coming round for tea, or Kelly Marie on my knee but I’m envious of having Donna Summer in your thighs and the fact they can see everything in 3D in those glasses. Fingers crossed Shit Disco will be appearing at thedo near you in the new year too.

Most fun I have heard a band having on record since Test Icicles and out now on (back in the money thanks to Art Brut) Fierce Panda with a remix by Clor.

p.s. In Brighton tonight (Monday 28th Novemebr) we recomend a visit to the Freebutt to see The Hospitals and Cayto yeh?
