Mileys diverse inspiration. Nirvana and Nickleback?

2011-06-21T18:25:00.000-07:00

As teen pop sensation Miley Cyrus launched into her version of Smells Like Teen Spirit at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre last night, an older audience member could be heard pleading “no” in mercy.

Having introduced the Nirvana classic to the crowd as one of the songs that inspired her to chase her dream as a recording artist, the former Disney child-star unleashed a cover that was nothing short of a nightmare for Kurt Cobain's worshippers.

With every naively overwrought vocal affectation, Cyrus robbed the song of its slacker-fuelled cynicism, completely ripping out its soul like so many beer garden cover bands had done before her.

It was a sacred cow slaying on par with Michael Bolton tackling Love Will Tear Us Apart or Lady Gaga playing John Lennon's piano half naked.

Ironically Cyrus and her band spent much of the night ploughing through the sort of bombastic, anthemic, pop rock by-numbers that Cobain railed so hard against in his hey day.

Nickelback was a more obvious touchstone than Nirvana as big rock drums and bass thundered around a set seemingly pulled from an '80s hair metal clip.

REVIEW FROM MISHKA BLOGIN http://mishkanyc.com/bloglin/

2011-03-28T14:05:00.000-07:00

Review: UV Race – Homo

March 28th, 2011

UV Race - Homo (2011) [Aarght!] // Grade: B+

Add this to the list of coulda-shouldas: Why didn’t I see UV Race when I had the chance? One listen to the Melbourne band’s sophomore full-length, and I started kicking myself hard for bailing on their tour with Total Control; these jams are so sweaty raw, so studded with sax and Stooges and shrill noise, they must’ve shattered the foundations of show-houses nationwide.

But listen, they’ll shatter your speakers too, if you let ‘em. Homo’s a riot of energy, the kind that thrives in a live setting but works just as well (if a little more tempered) on record. Tracks like “Girl In My Head” and “Low” buzz with a sort of Velvet Underground meets Wipers vibe, all sloppy jangle and singalongs, while “Lost My Way” and “Nazicistic” waft around the idea of a ballad—except not really, because no number of wistful-ish progressions and airy backing vocals really take the edge off all that screech and scuzz.

Still, despite the noisy dissolves on, say, “Burn That Cat” (and lyrics that go dark as often as they do unintelligible; see “Down Your Street”), Homo is a super-upbeat record. Bouncy, grimy fun, conjuring all those images of frontman Marcus on stage in neon fringe and ballerina costumes. Not that I’d know from experience. Totally blew that opportunity. But I’ll content myself with Homo until one day, maybe, these Aussie garage-punk paragons make their way back Stateside.

and finally...

Also, especially before a vowel , hom-.

Origin:
1590–1600; < Latin homō man; OL hemō the earthly one ( see humus); akin to Latin hūmānus human; cognate with Old English guma, Old Irish duine, Welsh dyn man, Lithuanian žmónės men

Origin:
< Greek, combining form of homós one and the same; akin to Sanskrit sama-; see same

swim together. the closer our bodies are together the better. ^this^ photo was an unpossed snap shot of us sharing some beers and body contact in the pool back stage in Sydney. it was moe-man-chips-williams birthday and we were celebrating.

here is another example of us enjoying a close and personal dip. this is a tiny pool that alex's mum owns and keeps in there back yard in Perth. this is an action shot of six uv farts, some would describe our collective fart faces as 'sexy'. the uv race would like to thank NAT for the shade.

>>>---------->

Other things we do to bond on tour is go and capture birds, Alex found a Gang-Gang Galah. They are mighty rare. Alex can be seen on the catwalk sporting her new Gang- Gang hat! She is the stealthiest uv..

Now we will talk about snakes:

Here is Georgia with a snake, she is the bravest uv...

Marcus had a very happy snake in this picture...

and this is Snake and the Crack-odile eatting some alien from the buffet...

As you can see we were mighty chuffed with our fantastical adventures on the BDO tour and often stared into each others eyes!!

Thanks for having us Ramstein!

CONGRATS AND THANKS TO S.S.!

2011-02-01T00:34:00.000-08:00

S.S. Records released the second UV 7" Malaria. They've also done a shitload more records worth exchanging your bodily fluids for. And now they just got fucking feedtime playing to celebrate ten years!

Here's a little from Mr. S.S.

In 2001, S.S. Records was formed. The label's first record was a 7” by the A Frames. Since then S.S. Records has released records by Los Llamarada, Intelligence, Cheveu, Crash Normal. Lili Z., Baby 63, Cigarettes, Frustration, The Geeks, Dan Melchior, Duchess of Saigon, Sperm Wails, Banque Allemande, XYX, Ozzie, and many others. Over the last ten years, the label has built a reputation for discovering great unknown bands, finding hidden underground music scene throughout the world, and digging up obscure and forgotten recordings.

To celebrate it’s tenth anniversary, S.S. has put together S S 1 0, a weekend of music in San Francisco. This is what we have planned:

Friday, May 20
A Frames
Cheveu
Hank IV
Charles Albright
w/ dj Mitch Cardwell
@ Bottom of the Hill, 8:30 PM

Saturday, May 21
feedtime
Lamps
Nothing People
Wounded Lion
w/ dj Ryan Wells
@ Bottom of the Hill, 8:30 PM

Sunday, May 22
The Mantles
Nar
LENS
& a record swap
@ Hemlock Tavern, 4 PM Swap, 6 PM Show

So....yes you read right: feedtime, the legendary Australian band! We got the original line up to reform just for this show! Not only is this gonna be the first time feedtime plays the US but it is the first time the original line up will have played live since 1989. And this aint no slap happy bunch of oldersters. They are as loud and excellent as ever!....What is S.S. Records without the A Frames? We gotta have them play this thing! Their string of shows last year were among there best. They rarely play and with Tommy now living in New York and Erin & Min are wrapped up in other projects, you aren't gonna get a better chance than this to catch them. Figure this to be gargantuan!...When planning this we wrote Cheveu and said "You coming to the US any time soon? If so we have a gig for you!" They said give is a date and we will be there. So from Paris they come and, man, are we glad. They are great live and keep getting better...You like the Lamps! I like the Lamps! Fuck yeah the Lamps! Lamps! Lamps! Lamps! Crush! Kill! Destroy! Modern thuggery at its best...Nothing People are one of our signature bands and they must play, so they are slithering down the valley for this one. Expect a dark pall to descend upon the city..Hank IV! Yeah not on the label but who cares? Great band! We love 'em, so we asked them to play!...Math genius Charles Albright has played a solo set once! We wanted him to make this one show two, so you get a rare appearance by our own psych-punk Pythagoras...Wounded Lion! Fuck yeah! One of the best clap happy bands around. They know how to start a party! Fuck yeah...The Mantles, can't say a god damn bad thing about them, even the sailor on bass. Fucking strum strum to heaven...That's right, you read NAR as in "Hi we're Nar N-A-R" the legendary Sacramento band, our little own NRBQ. They play maybe once every leap year, so leap!...and then we got LENS, fronted by Andy Jordan of Andy Human, Cuts, and Time Flys fame. Put on your Roxy boots! Fuck yes..and don't forget a god damn record swap! What more do you want from us? City Rock? Sure, rumor has it Mitch Cardwell, Ryan Wells and Mr S.S. himself will be spinning City Rock at a local bar the Thurday prior to kick off.

Advanced tickets for the May 20 & 21 shows will be available at through the Bottom of the Hill starting March 1. There will be no advanced sales for the May 22 show at the Hemlock. Please do not contact S.S. for tickets or reservations. All that is being handled through the venues!

So there ya go: S S 1 0, our own little celebration. Hope you can make it to the great city of San Francisco for a damn good time!

This photo shoot cost us $812741842387914986 but was totally worth it for the professional use of lighting and expensive props. Al's hat was originally worn by the 4 Non Blondes on their famous 'What's Up' clip, Moses' hat was bought on eBay from Cheap Trick and Marcus' straightjacket came from an ECW yardsale as a restraint for the legendary SABU.
