Derby STHLM telling us what punk is about.


Translation

We comes from the old School of Punk.
It wasn´t about play fast, It was about attitude, it was about underwear, to show off you dick!
That is what punk is about! You know, don´t be so damn pretentious, here is a punk tune.....

Derby STHLM and Psykbryt at Copperfields (Review)


The Place
Copperfields, the Pub with a stage at Fridhemsplan. Tonight, Derby STHLM ranted about the tables that was too close to the stage. A bit more place was made for people to move along to the wild music of Derby STHLM and Psykbryt.

The Crowd
A good crowd tonight as well. Everyone from skinny young punkettes with studs and Mohawks ´till heavy old geezers that makes beer bellies look like a state of fitness. This is what punk is a bout, something Derby STHLM in their ranting pointed out. Not least by the fact that one of the guitarist told us that it was punk to play in his undies which he did, trousers off, then play.

The Bands

Spotlicks
I arrived when the first band just had played so I missed them, The Spotlicks, which was a bit pity, I like them.


Björnarna
I haven´t heard them before and It didn´t struck me with astonishment. A bit too Trall for my taste.
Tight and competent yes, but not my cup of Tea.

Derby STHLM

Derby STHLM
Is a cult band, hailed by many and tonight you could understand why. This is naked hyperactivity on the verge to insanity. This is all the energy that been built up by daily frustration concentrated in one attack from stage, played by a bunch of old beer drinkers from hell.  It´s funny, it´s dysfunctional and it´s totally entertaining. They are a bunch of goofballs and football thugs on the loose, rampaging both ears, taste and guitars. The last wasn’t their fault, but the band managed to get technical problems not once but twice. But that didn´t slowed them down. In the wait for a new guitar, you can jump up and down in sheer joy or frustration, hilarious, brilliant. With a bit catchier tunes they could be Swedens best band. They got the anger, the frustration, the ranting, the speed, the tightness. This was so far from commercial PopSkatePunk you can get, even more far away than that.



Psykbryt
More photos here

Psykbryt
Closing band for tonight was the critical acclaimed Psykbryt (even in mainstream media). A young band on the rise, the reason why I was there in the first place. A bit they remind me of a Young Bitch Boys. And they got a bunch of really catchy tunes such as “Åk hem till Täby”* about our right wing prime minister, and “Södra latin” (About preppy schoolgirls). It´s simple straight forward Oi! Punk, even if I think they wouldn´t agree on that label. In a way I was a bit let down by the performance.
Where Derby STHLM´s dysfunctional approach is giving it a humerous edge , this band doesn´t benefit from the technical problems as they don´t keep the pace with a drummer running up to the stage front to take the admiration from his female fan club to semi Tommy Lee level. There is a lot of Punk talent in this band but there are some to learn about how to master it, in order to make the music great. Enough of grumpy whining. They did manage to close the set great and proved that they know how to be brilliant. "Åk hem till Täby" was the best song played on that stage this week end. Unfortionatly I got battery trouble with my camera during it.

*Originally the Irish Song "Go On Home British Soldiers"




Worth the money? It was free. There was some talk about a Swedish tour with Derby STHLM and Psykbryt. If I was you I would line up for ticket right now. Because this was great fun!



BTW with this two weekends at Copperfields, Club Dislocated showed that Stockholm is worth visiting.

Free Pussy Riot Petition!


We received this email from Watchdog.net recently regarding two members of the Russian punk group Pussy Riot. Most of you have been following this story for some time now so please continue doing what you can do to help. ~ PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE BELLOW AND RESPOND BY FILING OUT THE WATCHDOG.NET PETITION TODAY!!!!
Dear ___ ____,

The prisons in Perm and Mordovia are some of the harshest camps in all Russia, known for severely unhealthy conditions, a complete absence of privacy and a brutal social hierarchy where convicts are subject to abuse and sexual violence by both prison guards and inmates.

This summer, Pussy Riot's Maria Alyokhina, 24, and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, began two-year prison sentences there for daring to stand against Vladimir Putin. Now Nadezhda has been hospitalized after toiling in prison yards around the clock -- and sources say her life is in danger.

Media attention this summer already caused Putin's puppets to stop pushing for the maximum penalty and pardon one member of the group. Don't let Nadezhda become a martyr for dissent: call for Pussy Riot to be transferred to a Moscow facility now!

PETITION TO VLADIMIR PUTIN AND RUSSIAN PENAL AUTHORITIES: There is no reason to deny Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova the right to serve their two-year prison terms in Moscow to be closer to their children. The world is watching: Transfer Maria and Nadezhda now!


Click here to sign -- it just takes a second.



Thanks, -- The folks at Watchdog.net

The Krooked and Greta kassler at Copperfields (review)


Club Dislocated Fridays at Copperfields looks like a bit of small sucess. A rather decent crowd showed up this Friday for some Stockholm punk. I had just bought my first beer when the tragic news reached me. Ligisterna have canceled. The reason why I was there had pulled out because of illness. Still, there was three more bands on the bill and I thought they really had to deliver to make the  it worth the effort going there.

The Place
Copperfields is a pub that got a stage. Still they have tables up next to the stage which makes moshing hard. Some tries it however, even I for one song. No one will cry if they removed some of the front tables.

The crowd
 I estimates it as a good crowd, both people with punk patches/studed jackets and Lonsdale dudes, Skinhead girls and casuals. I spoke to a fellow that just happened to had a few pints in the restaurant and was on the way out when Greta Kassler started. He and his buddies stayed for the rest of the night, loving it. Possibly was it a good move to start having the club outside Södermalm.

The Bands

Greta Kassler

First out was Greta Kassler, a trallpunk band that made that melodic genre a bit faster, a bit harder. And with the Ligisterna absent the band do step out of the shadows. Any obscurity about this and that is blown away tonight. Tight, fast and raw with very good sound. Best song? "Kasparovs Parti", possibly. But my doubt about GK is that their melodies doesn’t stick in my mind, I know that they got lyrics about important stuff but the lines doesn’t stick,  it is possible that it is me? Tonight I don´t find that´s a problem, the performance is convincing as it is.


The Krooked

In my eyes the Krooked have been the Ligisternas support act. Tonight with Ligisterna absent they stand out real fine and proved that they can be a main act just as good the Civilians was last week.
However I have the same problem with them as with Greta Kassler. I have a hard time to remember a catchy tune after the last chord is strummed. But in the moment they play they are a good, entertaining band that is both hard working and seems to have a passion for the spirit of Punk Rock n Roll, and when they do as they do tonight it´s great.

and
The last band wasn’t my cup of tea at all so I don´t review them at all, I had a chat with Greta Kassler instead.

Worth the money? It was free! But I don’t understand why more people are not there? Because this is the world famous Swedish punk played for free!

Gibby Haynes - Pauls Not Home



Gibby Haynes (Featuring Jack White) - Pauls Not Home. (2013)

A cover from Adrenaline OD 1982 Roir Records Hard Core Tape Compilation, "New York Trash".

I like Butthole surfers where Gibby Haynes is the singer and I liked what Jack White did in White Stripes, But I don´t like this a bit.
It is possible that this started as an internal band joke in Butthole Surfers about their guitarist Paul Leary? But I must say the Adrenaline OD version which happens to be one of my HC favorites are still far better.
