Sigfried and roid-rage________Tel aviv recordings

do you know how to drink Royal Crown Cola in tennessee??
I learned it from David when we were together in Haifa(In tel aviv i sadly never have seen RC Cola in cans). You throw peanuts in the Cola can, shaking and then drink it.
Besides his passion for Cola, Falafel, Hummus and of course Arrak, Dave has a singersongwriter project called Sigfried and Roid-rage. Fortunately we met in Lewinsky market hardcore house. We slept several nights in one bed, cause we had no choice at all except the floor.
I saw 7 or 8 shows of him, played after or before him at three venues.
when i left the middle east these recordings became the soundtrack for last the 2 1/2 weeks.
these electric recordings were arranged with amit and guy, two sweethearts from Lewinsky HC house.

Hummus overkill


Back in the middle east. Got a great Hummusavocadopepsibreakfast. Living for last 4 days in a venue in the middle of a street market, somewhere in Tel Aviv. the noize starts every morning at 5am. Normally we are not going to bed before 4am. I am wondering that i can even sleep until 12am. I love to go on the balcony and watch the people bying stuff or yelling on each other, while the cars complete the chaos with their horns. I never heared so many horns. Its like a big concert.
I will move to Haifa together with Dave aka Siegfried-Roid rage and Nadav .
The rest of our travel group did it in the morning(i stayed lazy in bed) cause we are playing there tomorrow.
Sometimes travelling in big groups( we are two bands) gets on the nerves at all. Especially when everybody tries to do all shit all time together.
But in the end everybody enjoys the time here, that predominates of course.
We escaped the cold, spending now much time as we can on the streets. Meeting people, hanging out on the beach, talking shit and seeing shows.....
I think Caravels are a great soundtrack for that.
They have two demos you can download for free at there myshit page. here is their first one called Earthlings session.

1.Dark obsession
2.Snake plissken
3.Flawless victory

Purity control cassette II


These days are cold and snowy. it s beautiful and in the same way boring to be in the periphery. in the city the snow only sucks. the time runs faster and the snow seems to interfere. i can't relax. even when i can relax in the snowy periphery, after some days i miss the urban thing.
that blog is mostly an personal outlet for my uncomfortable times, sometimes in a mental way , sometimes in a physical way.
you can pick out what you want. all depends on each other. on some days you can handle things otherwhile not. sometimes i am bored of all the punk and hc thing and capture myself listening to the new arcade fire album. just few minutes later there comes a band like Purity control, appearing so simple, but at the end there is a big fuck u for everything. it works. some minutes, some hours or months are saved.
if u see anywhere this second demotape, buy it. call that stuff powerviolence or rough hardcore. who cares.

1. Taking control
2. Flesh revelation
3. Writer's block
4. Bite marks
5. Swallowing//Losing control
6. Orgone

Uzbeks___________Demo Tape

demo tape

I woke up by the noise and screaming of builders, who wanna dry the bottom of our kitchen, cause we had a wateraccident some months ago.
Outside are 2°. Larry David would say pretty, pretty, pretty good.
I call this is my personal hell.
What ever, i had the luck to play on the same show with a band named Uzbeks two weeks ago. Based in Haifa and Tel Aviv, they are something like a supergroup of the local punk//hardcore scene , cause they were and are still involved in many other bands and projects.
I know their shmucki singer Nadav now for 4 years, so the show at the atari was a kind of big family meeting.
I remember it all ends in the morning. Assaf and Nadav sitting frustrated in my room, finding no tabacco to build a sportcigarette.
Uzbeks doing some fast oldschool punkrock remindung me on Bands like Dean Dirg, Smart Cops or the punk wave in Denmark in the beginning of the 21th century.
Twintoe Records released the Demo last year and a brand new "12 LP some weeks ago.
