50 years of Scandisurf & Mariachi Death twang
LOS PLANTRONICS
Los Plantronics 4 piece debut gig, or The Plantronics as the band was called back then, was in 1995 at bar Tut Ankh Amon together with the more famous Gluecifer. It was an evening to support legendary record store Wild Mind.
25 years later Los Plantronics is still here, but as a 11 person operation in mariachi-suits, Lucha Libre masks and with exotic flamenco dancers Las Cariocas. The sound is a surf-fuzz-three guitarists-inferno, add a swirling Hammond-organ and layers of cantina horns on top. Los Plantronics are always moving-always bending their mariachi death surf twang.
Their last opus “Surfing Times” on Jansen Records was released with splendid reviews in Q-magazine, World-music magazine Songlines, Uncut magazine 7/10, Vive le Rock 8/10, Guitarist Magazine gave it 8/10 and said ”for fans of Dick Dale, Los Lobos and Flat Duo Jets”. In 2017 the Los Plantronics photo-book “Mariachi: Hecho en Noruega” saw the light of the day as well as a 2LP Best Off album called the “Worst Is Yet To Come”.
………
THE BARBWIRES
In 2020 it’s been 25 years since The Barbwires got together for the first time. In the beginning as part of a Bachelor Thesis on Surf Music for The Royal College of Music in Stockholm. Kalle Fornia came up with the name (Slang for swedish instrumental music in the 1960´s) Mike wrote some songs, and J.R beat the hell out of the old Slingerland drums.
An album was recorded together with Thereminator, Pat Flash and Bubba Andy. The waves in Stockholm were too poor so most tours, shows, festivals and record releases were outside sweden.
But now we are back.
Come celebrate 25 years of cold water surf ridning with our bothers and sisters in Los Plantronics, who also Celebrate 25 years of mariachi death surf!
The big 5-0 The Barbwires (S) ❤️ Los Plantronics (N) ?April 24th Debaser (Bar Brooklyn) Stockholm, SwedenApril 25th Youngs, Oslo, Norway.

Fredag 15.desember forlater vi surfhulen vår og stikker til den kuleste bok-sjappa i byen, nemlig Tronsmo Bokhandel (så klart!) og tenkte å lage noe vi kaller førjulsstemningen ala Mariachi Death Surf.

Dette er det sjette albumet til Los Plantronics med Elverum-singen Thor Erik Havn aka “Signor Havn” i spissen, og gjengen holder virkelig koken. Litt mindre spagetti denne gangen kanskje, men til gjengjeld er de riktig rause med soulfood i den musikalske “suppa” som ender opp som et delikat musikalsk gourmet måltid. Som vanlig er det stor musikalsk variasjon fra surfgitar og partyfunk til skingrende blåsere, samt den obligatoriske dosen god gammeldags rock’n’roll. Alt fremføres aldeles suverent og stilsikkert av usedvanlig dyktige musikanter. Også denne gangen har Los Plantronics rydda plass til et knippe herlige covere. En frisk og rotekte versjon av Shorty Longs “Devil with a blue dress on” (kanskje best kjent i Mitch Ryders versjon…?), en overraskende, men spenstig tolkning av Byrds “Artificial Energy” (fra “Notorious Byrd Brothers”), samt en herlig rocka versjon av Charlie Richs “Lonely Weekends” og Chuck Berrys “I wanna be your driver”. Og dette kommer i tillegg til 11 elegante originaler hvor instrumentalen “Black cactus stampede” er ei skikkelig humørpille og min favoritt akkurat nå, mens “Bollywood Orphant” er den mest spesielle med sin “hippie-i-India-psykadelia”. En skikkelig opptur av et album!

The night brought together some of the most exciting and wildest elements of rock ‘n’ roll, burlesque, circus and the eclectic sets of The Rock and The Roll of The World as selected by dj Scratchy, tour DJ for such top bands as The Clash, the Pogues and Gogol Bordello. Feat. The Urban Voodoo Machine, Jim Jones Revue, Dead Brothers, The Mighty Stef, Mama Rosin, Little Victor, Los Plantronics etc. etc. Buy it here!
Ønskekonsert for rock’n’roll-zombier. ALBUM: La oss si at du drar på fisketur I sumpene rundt utløpet av Mississippi og får noe tungt på kroken. Du haler inn og hei, ingen fisk, ingen alligator, ingen kobraslange, men et eldgammelt platealbum, seigt og slimete på utsida, men inni ligger vel bevart en bunke singler anno 1950-1970, innspilt på for lengst glemte plateselskaper med obskure instrumentalgrupper og mystiske vokalister, soundtracks fra drive in-filmer og horrorrperler, noir-dramaer og surfegrøssere. Disse låtene er som hentet ut av en slik sunken skatt, variasjoner over soul-selskapet Stax’s storhetstid, virtuose gitar-eskapader, vindpisket blåserbacking. Landskapet spenner fra ørken-strøkene i Texas til Hieronymus Bosch’s dødsvisjoner. Og midt i det hele: To fortreffelige cover-låter, “Devil With A Blue Dress On” (Mitch Ryder & Detroit Wheels) og “Lonely Weekends” (Charlie Rich). Musikalsk voodoo for viderekomne.

Don’t miss the Pre-Releaseparty at JOHN DEE Saturday the 5th of Mars with very special guests; Ensemble FANFARONNER + Top notch DJ’s who’s spinning 78 rpm records!
LOS PLANTRONICS’ brand new recordings have arrived fresh from the mixing desk, a revolutionary blast from the future and the past. The self explainery title of the album is “ORGANIC VOODOO SOUP” which has turned out to be a bigger, wider and a more wholesome record than their earlier works. In a way, this album has a more focused vision of a proper long play, as opposed to a collection of good songs. Their murky swamp rock sound contains a variety of influences; – garage-soul-boogaloo, electric swamp-R&B, Sun studio gospel-billy, Stax (studio) instrumentals, Chess recordings, Byrds-psychedelia, Memphis horns, Blaxploitation, space-surf guitars, biker-soundtracks, Hammond grooves, spaghetti-westerns, campfire guitars, Mariachi brass, New Orleans funk, Latin jazz & even a hint of Asian mountain-music!!!! If you dig organic music and recordings you will dig this and with a gumbo of different influences the album is one big pot of boiling Organic Voodoo soup!
Listen to some NEW TRACKS here!
Check out some NEW DATES here, including Mexico City (Yeeha!!).

THE URBAN VOODOO MACHINE

– ”Bourbon Soaked Gypsy Blues Bop’n’Stroll” fra London ledet av en karismatisk ”eksil” nordmann (Paul-Ronney) som også er vokalist og frontmann!! Paul-Ronney dro til England for ca. 20 år siden på lykke og fromme, mens The Urban Voodoo Machine først så dagens lys i 2003. Siden har de turnert U.S.A og England med The POUGES, varmet opp for New York Dolls, er faste gjester på Glastonbury festivalen, har en forkjærlighet for sorte dresser og røde skjorter og de driver sin egen klubb The GYPSY Hotel.*
*Klubben som ligger i Londons tøffeste nabolag, ble dømt nord og ned pga. beliggenheten, men mot alle odds er nå Gypsy Hotel Londons mest happening klubb scene. Det er noe ur-Londonskt over bandet og musikalske referansene går til allerede nevnte The Pouges, men også til Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, tidlig Gallon Drunk, Joe Strummer & the Mezcaleros, the Clash, Tom Waits osv.osv.
Debut albumet ble utgitt i 2009 og i det erfarne bandet finner du bandmedlemmer som har relasjoner til Engelske band som Jim Jones Revue, The Flaming Stars, Godfathers, The Blockheads, Billy Bragg, Wilko Johnson, Flesh for Lulu, DJ Scratchy etc.
Tenk: – en hel haug med drikkfeldige verdensomseilende sjømenn som starter band, definitivt ikke for sarte sjeler, men for de som ønsker å se et jævli’ bra live band med to sinnsykt gode trommeslagere!!!
http://theurbanvoodoomachine.com www.myspace.com/theurbanvoodoomachine “- a potent gumbo of fuzzed-up blues, punk rock, eastern folk, swing, sea shanties and rock’n’roll cabaret! This 18-legged groove machine is the most exciting band London has spawned in years” *9/10 – Classic RockMag.
“…a hellacious swing that causes dames to sway and dudes to drink” – *5/5 Big Cheese
Hva gjør man når bandets lead gitarist (Eivind Staxrud) reiser på turne med Raga Rockers og blåserekka er opptatt med å spille på Spellemanns prisen??
Jo samler venner, bekjente og ukjente til et ROCK’N’ROLL CIRCUS!!
Og eksklusiv gjest Mr. Ebbot kunne ha vært tatt rett ut ifra en viss musikk film fra 1968. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rolling_Stones_Rock_and_Roll_Circus
Gjester: Ebbot Lundberg, Vibeke Saugestad, Didrik Lund, Thanasis Therianos, ”El Kairo” Gjestemoen, Gary Voodoo, Paul-Ronney Angel, Sindre Blodstrupmoen++

Howdy!
We have a new bass-player (again!). He’s name is Ibrahim T. Larson from Lillehammer. He’s also playing bass in the country-rock act SHIT CITY which was nominated for “Spellemannsprisen” (the Norwegian Grammy) this year. Check them out, they’re good!
The Tour dates section is also updated. Look out for some gigs in Greece and Denmark/Germany later this year.
Some even better news: at last our two latest albums (La Orchestra Diaboliqa and Rancho Notorious! ) will be released on vinyl in March (it hasn’t been easy, I tell you!). We’re looking forward to that one!!!
Hope to see ya somewhere! Signor HAVN
