Hata Katten on CD

It is finally here! It has been talk for years about a release from Göteborg punks Hata Katten. First it was supposed to be a vinyl EP, but before those plans was realized the band was put on hold when the drummer left the country for awhile. Then it was alot of technical issues with the recordings and I started to doubt that there would ever be a release.

But now it's here. It's not on vinyl and it's not a EP. Hata Katten has released an album with 16 intense tracks. In true punk spirit the songs are very short and the whole album clocks in on aprox 12 minutes!

Picture
So whats up with the extremly short songs? Kungälv city is only 33 sec long! And there is only a few songs that clocks in over 1 minute. Well there is actually alot going on during the short time that the song lasts, and why succombe to song-conventions if you don't have to.

Hata Katten plays straight forward punk in the tradition of early swedish punk. They mention bands like Liket lever, Terminalpatienten and Attentat as influences on their Facebook page. This is probably why I have a such soft spot for them; they remind me of the punk from the early 80's that I love. Favorite songs on the album are Apan, Kungälv City and Jag är äldst och vet mest.

Garbage is my kind of people

Garbage is back with a new album after a six year hiatus. The album Not your kind of people is 15 new tracks of guitar oriented pop/rock mixed with alot of electronic noises and the cool voice of Shirley Manson. Alot of papers in sweden has been rather mellow in their reviews of this labum due to the fact that it has a 90's sound and lacks relevance in 2012. Rather strange thinking to me.

For us who like Garbage (the first album is one of my all time favorites) it would be strange if they came back and sounded like something else. I love the fact that the new album still sounds like Garbage.

More importantly is that many of the new songs are really good, and even if there might not be a new Only happy when it rains or Stupid girl on the album I rate this as their second best album as a whole.

My favorite tracks are Automatic systematic habit, I hate love, Battle in me and Man on a wire. Verry happy 'bout that one of my favorite bands from the 90's making a comeback with a album that seems to be about a little bit more than just rekindle the memory of their older stuff.

Vive la Fête brought the Belgian product to Göteborg

Vive la Fête just released their latest album Produit de Belgique. An album written and recorded by the "live band" Vive la Fête, rather then just by Danny Mommens and Els Pynoo.

The album is ok, and an big improvement from the prior album Disque D'or, that was a big disapointment to me. On may 16th the band brought their new music to Göteborg and played at Sticky Fingers.

The live experience of Vive la Fête is always joyful and fun. This show was also good, but at a much smaller scale then the last time I saw them in Göteborg. Smaller venue and a much smaller crowd. Unfourtunatly there was only about  a 100 people at the show, wich was a bit to few to get the party going. The band did their best and was in good spirit, but the response was a bit hesitant and laid back through the whole show.

Picture
The set was a mix of crowd favorites and songs from the new album. Some of the new songs grew as live tracks and worked quite well with the older material. But it was the classics like Touche pas, Maquillage and Tokyo that got the best reactions from the crowd.

Really hoping that they will release a kick-ass album next time. Produit Belgique is a step in the right direction, but does'nt make it all the way. The band at it's best is awesome and Els Pynoo is a stage godess in the same lineage as Debbie Harry and Wendy James. I wish that they really bring the party the next time they pass through town.

Touche Pas live at Sticky Fingers

Members of the russian band Pussy Riot has been detained by the police after 'punk prayer' at Christ the Savior Cathedral in Moscow.

The feminist punk band, inspired by the riot grrrl movement, protested against Vladimir Putin by 'praying' to the Virgin Mary. During the prayer they performed in colorful balaclavas while dancing and flapping there arms wildly. So beware, the russian feminists are coming.
