When Bob Log III was a child, he lost his left hand in a boating accident. It was soon replaced with a monkey paw, and a new guitar style was born. It’s my own personal style, see,” Log says, “the paw moves much quicker than a normal hand, so my real hand has to flop […]
Nomeansno: but Yes means Yes
by Kortney Jmaeff (April 2003) When uttering the words “Best Canadian Power Trio”, most plebian Canucks would primarily envisage Rush. For my money, however, the throaty bellows, funky distorted bass lines and battle-axe guitar choppings of Nomeansno slay Geddy’s cat-in-in-a-lawnmower vocals, cheesy magniloquent synthesizers, sci-fi dungeon and dragon ramblings any day of the week.

Bassholes i Jeffrey Evans
Don Howland (Bassholes) i Jeffrey Evans su pioniri lo-fi zvuka i imena su od velikog ugleda na nezavisnoj rokenrol sceni amerike. Zajedno su ’85. osnovali Gibson Bros, sastav koji je zna?ajan iz vi?e razloga. Najpre, sama postava (3 gitare plus bubanj minus bas!!) bila je krajnje neuobi?ajena i na neki na?in prst u oku establi?mentu […]
success on their own terms
After 20 years, legendary Canadian band borrows as much from Miles Davis as the Ramones By Ron Anicich When brothers Rob and John Wright formed Nomeansno in Victoria, B.C., 20 years ago they started a revolution in Canadian music. ?Unique? didn?t begin to describe their stripped-down, bass-and-drum-only approach to contemporary rock music. Over the years […]
NoMeansNo

Osniva?i benda, bra?a Wright (poznatiji kao Mr. Right and Mr. Wrong) i danas su centralna osa grupe oko kojih se smenjuju razli?iti stalni […]

Intervju: Mick Collins [The Dirtbombs]
Koncertno “ludilo” u Beogradu ovog proleća nastavlja se na najneverovatniji način. Spektakularna detroitska super-grupa THE DIRTBOMBS i magični Mik Kolins po prvi put dolaze u Beograd zaslugom Bad Music For Bad People i to je događaj o kojem će se pričati i dugo pamtiti. Poziv za ovako nešto nije potreban. Mislim da je velika čast […]
