THE MICK 41 IS NOW ONLINE
THE MICK 41 is now online for free download. 98 pages, full of some of the most intriguing and enjoyable artists around. Interviews with ANDI SEX GANG, CHESTER, MAX EIDER, HERB PROJECT, PRISCILLA HERNÁNDEZ, PLACE4TEARS and THE SLEEP OF REASON, plus varied reviews.
CONTENTS:
A riotously good ANDI SEX GANG interview, mainly concerning his new album.
UK Punk trio with lashing of humour, CHESTER; two of whom are also mad abut Goth, and their ‘Goth Classic’ is a Goth pastiche/tribute better than Action Pact’s ‘Gothic Party Time’ (which was actually a mocking pisstake, although many people still don’t know that).
MAX EIDER, on his ‘Back In The Bedroom’ album, a man who doesn’t release many albums but when he does they’re crackers. (You may recall him from his work with The Jazz Butcher or David J.)
We have the awesome HERB PROJECT, a French duo who deal in ‘Cathartic Goth’ and you’ll quickly discover they’re not your average couple.
There’s an epic encounter with the supremely talented PRISCILLA HERNÁNDEZ, whose Faery-Ethereal ‘Ancient Shadows’ album is a mesmerising piece of work. It’s rare to find someone was has turned down deals to remain independent, but then she’s a rare talent.
We have PLACE4TEARS, Tyves Oben’s Goth/Shoegaze band, and we also take in Tyves’ magazine ‘Crawling Tunes.’ He’s definitely on the artists’ side. A trouper.
And finally, a look back at a band I only recently discovered, THE SLEEP OF REASON, whose solitary single and a live show appeared on an old Projekt CD, ‘A Logical End’, which was so good I had to ask Oscar Herrera (also in Black Tape For a Blue Girl) to take me through their brief history. (Definitely a band who should have gone on to better things.)
There’s recent records reviews: ALIO DIE & MARTINA GALVAGNI - ANDI SEX GANG - CHESTER - GIANT PAW - HERB PROJECT -IGGY POP - JOHNNY HOLLOW - LOVE SPIRALS DOWNWARDS - MIRABILIS - SUBMARINE FLEET - THE DIRGE CAROLERS - THE MACHINE IN THE GARDEN -UNEXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN. (Print-wise, I cover DROP DEAD magazine Issue 4, TWF MAGAZINE ISSUE 9 and KALEIDOSCOPE MAGAZINE #24.)
Also, we have love reviews (not the snippets I popped up here) of LORD OF THE RINGS: The Musical (stage), SWEENEY TODD: The Musical (Film) and NOSFERATU (dvd - with new Jackson Del Ray score).
Have fun.
