/And everything revisable, again"
One year ago today, investment firm Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, signaling an economic downturn that hadn't been since the Great Depression. As the recession eases and optimisim returns, we present you with Electric Tickle Machine's "Gimme Money" a snarly, tounge-in- cheek nod to self-interest.
"Gimme Money" and "Part of Me" are both found on ETM's psych garage debut called 'Blew It Again' (out October 7th), vinyl being sold on their upcoming US tour followed by a digital release on http://www.electricticklemachine.com
MCB met up with the guys from Violent Soho this past Friday night who opened up the show for The Raveonettes at The Magic Stick Detroit ....the place had just opened doors when we wrangled these boys from Brisbane into the Ladies Room for a few quick words and didnt realize that we had company still inside with some unfinished business happening...
Finishing business is something this band knows how to do as they wasted no time getting up to speed and then breaking the speed limit crunching out 8 great tunes including a cover from an old school brisbane band that simply stole the show for me. The set was so impressive we bought a bunch of shirts at the bands merch table and just started passing them out for free
Afterwards we met them at the bar for a beer and another chat and barely even noticed that The Hounds Below had nearly finished thier set - we all looked at each other and joked that we thought they were setting up and the sound guy was just running some low volume filler
Get the new record from Violent Soho and catch them back in Detroit in late December 2009 - MCB thumbs up... www.myspace.com/violentsoho
then
.. after a bunch of beers with our aussie friends the alarm went off and we had to run and meet up with the headliners of the night - The Raveonettes - who just made their way in from the bus about 20 minutes before stage time...we met them in the stairwell at the back of The Magic Stick for a brief video interview and photos.
With no time to spare - we made it quick
it was obvious to us that the last thing they wanted to do late on a friday night /15 minutes before stage time was talk to some local website but Sune and Sharin were super cool and they hooked in like troopers and then went on to kick ass on stage.
The place was packed and stacked high with smoke and heat but the main blaze came from the stage as the duo threw out all they had for the anxious crowd to devour. We must have made an impression because they let our shooter Amy Palomar on the stage for most of the show so another thank you is due and of course our nod from MCB.
Check out www.theraveonettes.com to pick up the new record
