The term „Garage Rock“ gets tossed around pretty liberally these days.
In the last 5 years (a little after Chuckamuck where already plucking Chuck Berry covers in a damp cellar with stolen electricity as 13 year-olds), Garage Rock has retrogressed from a nerdy distant relative of punk in 2002, to being found as the feature of music-magazine cd compilations; to inspiring catwalk couture; to being butchered by rich mommies boys with expensive amps and pedals to make them sound cheap; and finally, now, the intolerable depths of fastfood advertising and being represented in soundless billboard advertising.
Chuckamuck wont give a fuck about this opening statement, but I do. Cuz I see these young scamps as the syrum to this poison, the antithesis of this culture and the bullet in the cop that is punk langour and homogeneity that should have died out in the 80s.
Chuckamuck ARE garage rock. They do bad at school.
Like The Ramones, they all play punk individually for different reasons. But, like The Penetrators, they keep writing better and better tunes cuz they want to increase their chances of getting some kisses after a show.
Chuckamuck have more in common with the mythical Keggs, getting kicked out of school concerts for barely being able to keep an instrument tuned, then any other musicians swooning around in leather jackets. They are fucking smartass misfits, Ne’er-do-wells and reprobates. They fucked me over once in a concert I organised for them cuz the drummer got arrested for public drunkeness before the gig and by the time he was released they had to be the headliners for the night.
They sound better out of tune, drunk and wild, so if you are booking them, feed ‚em a bunch of alcohol before they play. In fact, feed them anything you can cuz they are a bunch of poor motherfuckers. But just like Handsome Dick Manitoba preached us, "I dont have to be here…… this is just a hobby for me", and nothing could be more in touch with the essence of Chuckamuck:
They are just as happy deafening neighbours in their basement as they are playing in front of dancing young girls – you’re just lucky they do venture out, cuz this is still a hobby for them.
"Spazzy synth chords transmogrify and rhythmic non sequiturs stop, drop, and roll, while deadpan, Ian Curtis-esque vocals modulate over swirling beats and sick drum wizardry." Lazer Crystal. From Chicago. First time on tour through europe. With members of Mahjongg.
werrrrbung. sag aber immer bescheid, wennde rein willst, vips und so-)
TV BUDDHAS
"TV Buddhas use slim repetative stringy lines amplified through a bass and guitar amp, deep blusey vocals and a minimalistic drum set consisting of a floor tom, a snare and a cymbal. They play directly in your face on the floor, drentched in sweat and emotion."
COMBINEHARVESTER
"A song may end up being a 15 minute drone escapade or a 30 second almost acapella ditty. Everything is possible."

FRIDAY
BEN BUTLER AND MOUSEPAD
hiding in berlin from his uk fame with gay vs you, germlin, joemus. but ben butler will not stay long a secret disguise. some call it nerdcore, I call it real sexy funk disco too good to remain much longer a secret!
joined for one night by a member of mahjongg, chicago's best band. expensively flown in and an absolute - secret.
My noisey as sin, old testament experimental sludge-a-billy band is
playing with Karl Blau and Nino aus Wien MITTWOCH at Bang Bang Club,
Hackescher Markt.
Karl Blau is on K records. Lots of older hipsters have a K records
tattoo somewhere on their body. I had sex with a girl who had one
once. I think one of the The Sticks has a K records tattoo as well.
Even this guy sings about them.
Der Nino aus Wien calls his music Dadaist. Thats why when asked about
his new album sounds like, he replied, "Shoes". Pfffffffffft.
Anyway, the point is, if you dont wanna pay the full price at Bang Bang
club, you can come for cheap if you come at 11.45 just to see my band
tear the place to pieces.
