El Granchufle

My new favourite band tick all the boxes. Surf band? Check. With theremin? Check. And foxy theremin player? Check. Named after a mystical Patagonian yeti? Check. At least one band member from Chile? Check. Release stuff on vinyl? Of course.
El Granchufle. Lovely stuff. G
PS Yes, we have a theremin tag too.

The Vicious Cycles

I love The Vicious Cycles. The five-piece punk band from Vancouver, Canaduh have supplied two songs for the Dirt Quake advert and event film. Both those songs and another 11 killers are on the CD we have for sale in the Sideburn shop.
The whole LP is motorsickle-related, but it doesn't come off the least bit forced or cheesy. It's just feelgood, getting shit done music. I'm listening to this right now and it's putting me in a great mood.
It comes with a nicely printed 12-page, colour lyric book and it's only £10! Go to The Vicious Cycles.

Norm McFuzzybutt of Motorcycho is on theremin and backing vocals. I'm pretty sure his son plays drums for the band (they're the two on the left in the band photo).
Norm has stocked us up with some back issues of Motorcycho, but I got the order wrong and didn't get the issue people are waiting for. Sorry. I'll sort it out. G

Theremin

Messer Chups

We apologize to anybody who was expecting a 100% pure beef flat track blog. We have, we do, & will continue to go off topic from time to time. So here's more from our record collection...
The most excellent Messer Chups from St. Petersburg in Russia. I caught them at the Paradiso in Amsterdam a few years ago. Oleg Gitarkin is the nerdy front man, the vampalicious Svetlana Nagayeva aka Zombie Girl on bass. It's B-movie twangy mondo surf, Lydia Kavina on Theremin, & Igor Vdovin on synthesizers, adding even more spacey spook. Sasha Belkov drums. They have 12 albums to their credit. Go check them out if they land on your planet
