RAMLEH / DUSTBREEDERS / HORACIO POLLARD /
Pre-sale Tickets available at Rumpsti Pumsti (Musik) Berlin
http://www.rumpsti-pumsti.com/
RAMLEH are a British Power Electronics and Noise Rock group. Their single minded determination to push the boundaries of what can be achieved in music has seen them hailed as one of the most influential and groundbreaking underground groups of the last 25 years.
RAMLEH operates in two modes concurrently: both as a Rock trio and in a Power Electronics duo line-up. Now, as ever, the group refuses to recognise the boundaries between musical styles and instead treat their chosen musical terrain as a playground of absolute freedom.
RAMLEH will perform this show in Berlin in the noise/electronic duo line-up of Anthony Di Franco and Gary Mundy.
DUSTBREEDERS
“So you want to be a musician ? Just take a fucking guitar… and then, what else ?
Well, let’s say just a few more things : of past let’s make a tabula rasa, let’s sack History, let’s destroy idols, let’s knock down rock catechism… Let’s clean up the whole thing and make the genuine rock’n’roll expresses its savagery, the one that had been repressed since Jerry Lee Lewis… Let’s take back things just where the Stooges left them with L.A. blues, when they throwed their eyes towards free jazz and white noise….
Let’s remember : the fanzine Sniffin’ Glue once invited everyone being able to play three chords to create a band while Connie Burg, from Mars, wasn’t even imagining playing two of them ! So why not just running up and down the fretboard as a slide, played fervently just like being under amphetamines, would do ? In NYC : Pat Place and the Contortions, Lydia Lunch & Teenage Jesus… In France, some times later, their potential heirs would call themselves Dustbreeders : “I’m psycho 4 your love” as they used to claim.
Lester Bangs had already praised L.A. blues from the Stooges, Vincebus Eruptum from Blue Cheer, Metal Music Machine from Lou Reed and A Taste of DNA… A brand new grammar spelt in the margins and Dustbreeders heard it, in secret noise at night disordered, breeding of dust in the building ruined by the perverse Countess.
Borbetomagus/Dustbreeders, two trios and, for both of them, you’ll find the same geyser of brutal energy, the same continuous metallic scraps of noises and, dripping from everywhere, the same visceral exhortations. Saxes and guitar for the yankees, mange-disques and (now) guitars for the frenchies but, for both of them, voodoo-distortions, hysterical atomization, psycho-funny lacerations. A chaotic and cathartic experience : what can’t be told with words can be told with noise.
Here it is a huge community : Mars, DNA, Guy Debord, Pierre Guyotat, Christian Marclay, Jess Franco, Charles Gayle, Jean Rollin, Jac Berrocal, Alan Vega, Christophe, Koji Wakamatsu, Junko, Hijokaidan, Borbetomagus, Masayoshi Urabe, William S. Burroughs, Kaoru Abe, Lina Romay, Emil Beaulieu, Rudolpg Grey, the Dead C, Keiji Haino, Arthur Doyle, Howard Vernon. DUSTBREEDERS.”
HORACIO POLLARD
Armed with a plethora of (mal)functioning and obsolete electronics, H.P. delivers a nauseating yet ecstatic avalanche of disemboweling disco-hits filled with foul slap bass,vaginal harmonicas and soporifically iconoclastic grooves. RESIDENTS meets HOLLGER HILLER meets IKE YARD – like the caustic fury of a cosmic flatulence suspended in the dead space of an erotic, Kubrickian sci-fi nightmare.
