A great cd by this amazing band from Foggia (Southern Italy)! They were active in the 90s in their hometown`s squats,I talked about them when I posted the AntiRepression Tape split with Brandelli D`Odio.
In this very good cd recorded in a professional studio,Full Slap show us their great ability as musicians.They mix hc punk,reggae,funky and a bit of jazz with a very personal touch and the lyrics are very good too.
It was recorded in Bologna in 1995,They splitted up in 1997 and came out in 2007 as a total diy production released by Renzo alone.
Their music reminds me some stuff of the early Red Hot Chili Peppers and Infectious Grooves,also Full Slap is one of the very first band of Renzo Ruggiero who will,later,play with Follorum Enslamble and Arkitesi.
This is a very good cd for people into creative crossover of various music styles.Enjoy it.
Split tape released by Piscina Okkupata (Swimming Pool Squat) active in Foggia(Southern Italy) in the beginning of the 90s. 2 bands coming from this squat and touring to raise up funds for legal expenses.I wrote already about Brandelli D`Odio when I posted few videos and the double cd Sopravvivo ?. Full Slap were playing a kind of crossover music touching the punk and the funky reminding me some stuff of the early Red Chilli Peppers,very good musicians,this is one of the first bands of Renzo Ruggiero who will,later,play with Follorum Enslamble and Arkitesi.
This tape came out with a booklet containing leaflets about the squat and lyrics of the bands.
It was recorded at the The Blitz Squat in Rome:the recording is not always good.
I guess this is only for people into political messages rather than just music.
This is the very
first experimental theatre-performance by this band,It was an idea
already performed by the ghost collective E.A.,I
posted the very first document of this performance:Carne
di FangAzione by Estro Assente.
Brandelli D`Odio extended this basic idea to a full long piece of 30 minutes,6
"actors" experimenting live punk music mixing it with
video installations,spitfire
half-nude bodies,original papier mache` masks,dark
ambient,mud,slides,painting and engagement of the audience into the
show.
I left the original
music of the videos and I made a very little editing of those recordings trying to retain the pure vibes of those shows.
Those videos were
recorded at the live show in Pishina Okkupata of Foggia in November
1993,the social Squatted center Labirinto in Benevento in January
1994 and the social squatted center in Avellino in February 1994+
pieces of the show at the 10 days anarchist meeting in Montemarenzo in
August 1994.
A very big thanx to
all the people whom filmed those shows and passed us those video
recordings.
Although recorded in the beginning of the 90s those videos are completely unreleased and never been edited before, the quality is pretty good if you think about the basic settings of dark lights used during those performances and the video-cameras of that time.
Ispirational thriving force-points are fantasy,rebellion and repression.
I added more info in the video and it has english subtitles.
A very big thanx to Full Slap ,a band of friends who gave us full support while touring together sharing instruments,stages,basic needs and lots of fun,more thanx must be added to all the squatters in Foggia and in the places that we visited,too many to write down here. A double cd with almost all the discography of this band is still available on radiomolotov blog here the link. Terra Umana helped me in the final editing. Enjoy it. ~f~a~r~a~w~a~y~
Another video by Brandelli D`Odio this time not a long "theatrical performance" but a very short HC Punk song, in fact 1 minute only.This is the very first line up of Brandelli D`Odio and the video was recorded in the practise room of the Squatted Swimming Pool(Social Squatted Center in Foggia-Southern Italy) during October 1993.Gianni was the vocalist,only for this track and the lyric is about the tanax.
The intro and the outro are fragments taken from Electric Tie by Emblema Angelico as those two projects were very closely connected by strong bonds. For people into fast distorted music with a short additional electronic deviated twist...
