MELEWAI - NOW IS FOREVER

 MELEWAI - NOW IS FOREVER

Last year, at the wonderful Trash'n'Burn festival in Croatia (which I can't visit this year and that's really a bummer), my son and I got to meet two beautiful people : Martina and Antonelo.  We got talking and it turned out that they had been in a band called Tyger Lamb (more about them later) but this band had stopped.  Now they started a new band called Melewai.

In this new band they mix surf rock, garage rock and psychedelic rock and they call it "the songs of water".  Once in a while they tease me with a new song on Bandcamp - you won't find them on any streaming platforms before their album is finished - and their latest addition is called Now Is Forever.

The song has a nice "surfy" build-up with a bass and a guitar that drags you into the story.  Somewhere in the middle it gives you a psychedelic punch in the face and moves on with a soothing voice to bring you to the end of the song.  For me it was like a complete movie got translated into just one song.

But perhaps I'm not completely impartial : I just love Melewai !!


Lyrics :

now!

now now now
now now now now
now now now now now 
now is forever
now 
now is fo(u)r

JERRY MOTOR - MARY

Afbeelding
 JERRY MOTOR - MARY Jerry Motor's latest single, "Mary," plunges listeners into a captivating musical experience that resonates with haunting melodies and pulsating rhythms. With a vocal delivery reminiscent of a crossover between Skunk Anansie and Kate Bush, the band delivers a performance that is both powerful and evocative. From the moment the drums kick in, the song establishes a relentless momentum that drives the narrative forward. The pounding and thriving percussion sets the pace, adding layers of intensity to the composition. Each beat feels purposeful, contributing to the overall dynamic of the track. The guitar work in "Mary" is nothing short of mesmerizing. While maintaining a clean tone, it weaves intricate melodies that linger in the listener's mind long after the song has ended. The haunting quality of the guitar adds depth to the music, creating an atmosphere that is both eerie and enchanting. However, it's the bass that truly sh...

ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW

 ALPS. - WANT YOU NOW Life is full of surprises.  Sometimes it gives you lemons, sometimes it gives you Alps..  At The Black Flamingo we really are blessed with the people that come visit us.  No matter how big or small the audience, they give the artists all the attention they deserve.  One day Jesse came over to watch a show here.  I didn't knew who he was but someone pointed out to me that he also was a musician and a songwriter.  After a little research (hurrah for socials) I came across two of his projects, Alps. and CYNN' (more about CYNN' later, I'm sure). For me Alps. is more than songs.  When I close my eyes while listening to them I can almost feel the scenery passing by.  Want You Now in particular makes me feel like being somewhere on a mountain pasture (Alps.?) and it's my perfect waking up song after a stressy week or a heavy night. I already had the privilege to see them perfom live and what a show that was ! Go check them out...

THE AX EFFECT - GET WASTED

Afbeelding
 THE AX EFFECT - GET WASTED Dutch band The Ax Effect is back, and they're hitting harder than ever with their latest single, "Get Wasted," straight off their newest album, "Made For This." Hailing from Brabant, these guys are no strangers to blending genres, and "Get Wasted" is a prime example of their unique concoction of hard rock, metal, punk, and just a dash of blues, all fused together to create what they proudly dub as Lumberjack Rock. At the helm of this sonic onslaught is Mathijs Ansems, who not only commands the drums with thunderous precision but also takes on the role of lead vocalist, his gravelly voice serving as the perfect conduit for the band's gritty sound. Alongside him, Bart Kruijssen's guitar work cuts through the air like a buzzsaw, while his backing vocals add layers of intensity to the mix. And holding down the low end with authority is Harrie Van Erp on bass, his driving rhythms forming the backbone of The Ax Effect...
