Here's again with Viento Sin Fronteras, the same guy of la soledad biblioteca.
I was away for a while travelling. No special found.
By the way this guy makes you so feeling happy with his music, mixed with south american sounds.
Hope he will do something new soon
Here's the download link of his disc "a donde vas libertad".
Here's again with Ari and Her Banjo, crust punk girl playing banjo. Really can't believe I'm writing of her. I will not write about how much I like her.
I will not write that it's like im writing about a really great famous artist. I just will say that you should listen to this. I warned you. You can miss this.
I can say without problems this sound reminds me of Horse Feathers.
And of course female vocals. You know i love female vocals.
Hope she will never stop.
Here's again with Raccoon Venom, two crazy and fun guys making a beautiful music.
Hi had the great opportunity to talk with them. This is the summary of our fun chat:
Me: Thanks for accept talk a bit with me. Would you like introduce yourself?
Raccoon Venom: RV started in Southern Oregon, but has changed lineup and gotten wayyyy better since moving to the Portland area. Mason (guitar) and Reid (mandolin) hang out all the time making beer and playing croquet and drinking A LOT of whisky and IPA… and of course playing music. We also both work at Chevron, which is dope.
Me: Think you are from portland. So your scene?
RV: We don’t know shit about the Portland scene. We both grew up listening to other Portland punk bands such as Hammered Grunts, Rum Rebellion, and Skatter Bomb, but haven’t gotten to play much with folk punk bands like Felicia and the Dinosaur or Dirty Kid Discount, but are hoping to get more connected the more we meet folks.
Me: Really want to know about your future releases and shows!
RV: We have a bunch of new songs ready for a new album to be released in the next few months which will be called “We Have Fun”, so stay tuned in for that. We also have at least one show coming up soon in Eugene. It will be on June 14th at the Campbell Club House on Alder Street. We are also in the process of booking a show at Sky High Brewing this Spring in Corvallis. Otherwise we are always looking for shows to play. Please let us know if you know any shows or bands we could/should perform at/with.
Me: So do you play in streets? Really really cool!
RV: Our favorite venue is Shed 87, which is the name we gave to the shed in Mason’s backyard on 87th Pl. in Tualatin. We try to get into Portland pretty often to busk around wherever, but we usually end up too drunk and stoned to make anything worth listening to. That being said, we always have fun wherever we play. Lately, we played a couple shows in Portland and Eugene and would love to visit our new friends again soon.
Me: So you're anarcho-punk. What is your life's view?
RV: Uhhhh….Anarchy, I guess. Life is just meant to be fun. If you wanna play music and get drunk in a shed than that’s what you should do. If you wanna get sober and play ping pong than that’s cool too. If you wanna work in an office, more power to ya, just don’t try and recruit us anytime soon. That’s how we should all behave. Do what makes you happy and seems fun and worthwhile, and don’t fuck with other people’s shit. ANARCHYYYY!!!
Brrrrraaaappp!
Here's again with La Soledad a wonderful project travelling world.
Is a project that tries to bring books to public spaces such as: squares, parks or parking lots.
Apart from that, they try to gather people interested in promoting the concept behind Jakim Bey's Temporary Autonomic Zone.
They have in their library many books of all kinds of subjects such as arts, politics and literature.
Usually when they go to squares or similar spaces they take an exhibition of books on photography, art and painting. They also have in their library an exhibition of fanzines and independent publications of various locations around the world.
They are also one of the distributors of the anarchist newspaper "El Libertario" in Venezuela and promote independent book fairs and also collaborate in the organization of festivals or cultural fairs. They do all this detached of any private enterprise or any public institutions support. They try to do public and political life detaching ourselves from the State's logic, defying Venezuela's political polarization and working in a non-profit philosophy. They do not make a living or earn money off the mobile library, they have our regular jobs, and the money raised it is used to support independent and self-managed projects.
"This project has been almost two years running, and we can say that, we are very happy with what we have achieved".
In April this year (2015) they collaborated the organization of an exhibition of independent and self-managed books and publications, where they met with many other people and other groups that share many perspectives and objectives of our project.
"We hope to continue with these activities and we hope that the fruit of our work can be translated in more independent publications, more independent fairs and way more friends and comrades to join us in these paths.
A sincere greeting to all readers of this blog.
And if you want more information (in Spanish) you can check our FB page: La Soledad Biblioteca Móvil and our website"
