Another tape at the famous Social Squatted centre of Udine, I have posted a few tapes recorded live
in this squat! This one has a few mistakes, the band Life Circle is, in
reality, called Life Cycle and on the folded cover sleeve, it says that they are
from England, while they are from Wales, on the second track the singer
clearly states that they are from Wales making me think that also on the
flyer of such gig they were mistakenly called English.
Fire Party were
part of Dischord Records, an interesting page about them is here.
The
live recording is okay-ish and the cover sleeve report very little info
and no song titles, but a leaflet against the oppression of the native
Americans. (in Italian, only).Enjoy it.
Scream was a hardcore punk band from Virginia, USA, formed in 1981 by
brothers Pete (vocals) and Franz (guitar) Stahl, Skeeter Thompson
(bass), and Kent Stax (drums). The band was later joined by second
guitarist Robert Lee "Harley" Davidson. After the release of their 3rd
album, "Banging The Drum", Stax departed and was replaced by Dave Grohl.
The band continued for a few more years before splitting in 1990. Dave
Grohl went on to find major success with Nirvana and the Foo Fighters. Pete Stahl has also performed with a number of bands, including Wool (2), Goatsnake and Earthlings? and collaborated with Sunn O))) and The Desert Sessions. He was also road manager for Foo Fighters and Queens Of The Stone Age. Franz Stahl was also a member of Wool (2) and, briefly, the Foo Fighters. Kent Stax played drums with Oi! band The Suspects.
Scream has reunited for several reunion shows in the Washington, DC
area over the years (with Stax in place of a very busy Grohl, although
the latter has made some guest appearances).
Strelnikoff were a Slovenian electro punk-rock band active in between 1988 and
2001. Members were Franek Markošek - guitar, Robert Ceglar - saxophone,
Tomaž Vučer - bass (1988-1989), Sergej Steblovnik - vocals &
programming, Vasja Ocvirk - vocals & programming, Scheet (ex
Afflict) - bass (1989-1990), Aleš Uratnik (ex Epidemic Zone, Non Finire
Mai) - bass (1994-1997), Iztok Mravlje (ex Phone Box Vandals, Semprini) -
bass (from 1997).
The Strelnikoff Mary of Help of Brezje
controversy or the Strelnikoff Affair (Slovene: Afera Strelnikoff) began
after a depiction of Mary of Help of Brezje holding a rat instead of
Jesus,it was published by the Slovenian music group Strelnikoff on the
cover of their 1998 album Bitchcraft. The album was made in protest of
the official views of the Roman Catholic Church in Slovenia and the
statements of some of its highest representatives on the subject of
abortion. The first to condemn this depiction was Franc Rode, who was
the Bishop of Ljubljana at the time. This was followed by general
public outcry and expressions of the inappropriateness of the misuse of
one of the most known symbols of Slovenian Catholicism. The State
Attorney's Office received 3,867 public protests and 1,208 requests for
indictment. These were united in one that was at first rebuffed before
the Celje District Court. However, the state prosecutor Elizabeta
Gyorkos filled a complaint. The group members also received phone calls
and threats. In August 2003, the indictment was refused by the Ljubljana
Higher Court as well. In accordance with the Constitution of Slovenia
and the Slovenian law, the court concluded that the authors were
"tasteless in their artistic project, however they did not surpass the
boundary of allowed at all." (from LastFM )
Guerra Fredda was an anarcho-punk band from Venezia,active on the end of the 80s.Enjoy it!click me
This is an amazing tape documenting the live show of this fantastic band at the Social Squatted Centre of Udine(Northern Italy) on the 21st January 1989.
Try to describe the music by this great band is not easy, with thousands of various influences they play a very personal form of Avantgarde Art Rock, their live shows were explosive mixing improvisations and performances leaving the public struck with an assault of lights, costumes,body movements, improvisations and more genial ideas, changing all the time.
I was lucky to see them twice back in the 90s ,they blew everybody away. Their various productions are quite different music-wise,as well.
Indexing this tape was very difficult because many tracks are mixed up, it took me a long time and for whoever will get it then please read the notes that I have added. The recording is pretty amazing, delivering to us their full energy as a great live act.
To complete this post I am adding some info taken from a Wikipedia page dedicated to them + an old video from their Youtube Channel.
A very big thanx to Marco for giving me permission to post this astonishing live document.
Born during the New Wave era but with a very original music idea, Gronge has been groundbreaking of many music genres that evolved in the following years.
The name of the band, that prefers to define itself as a musical collective, originates from the roman slang and it means a boxer apparently defeated but who still has the strength for his last punch.
Their music style is been defined by themselves as tecknopunkcabaret because they mix in their shows music and theatre. Among the first bands to include in their compositions some samples,
they have been an epiphany for important Italian bands like Zu.
They have been, together with Franti from Turin, the first to propose the DIY/self-production in Italy.
Gronge, that from 2014 change its name in Gronge X, are still active.
In 2015 They have published a CD titled Manuale Di Imporvvisazione Per Giovani Socialisti released on Danze Moderne label.
Between 2015 and 2016, the Again Records reprints all their discography of the 80s and the 90s in two double cd.
Very good recording of this great gig at the squatted social center in Udine(Northern Italy) on the 30/03/1989.
Concrete Sox was a UK hardcore/crust band formed in the early 1980's - broke up in the 1990's. As of 2009, they are reformed by founding member Vic Croll. I am not sure if they are still active now.
Doom Formed in 1987 in Birmingham, the United Kingdom, however, they began as The Subverters, with Bri Doom (guitar), John Pickering (bass/vocals) and Jason "Hog" Hodges (drums). About the time Hog was replaced by new drummer, Mick Harris (Napalm Death), the band changed its name to Doom. (read more...)
