The Screaming Fly: Trip To Venus 2019

 

Screaming Fly, one of the longest-living Athens rock 'n' roll bands, are back with their best studio effort

so far! Recorded live-in-the-studio, "Trip To Venus" does justice to their explosive live shows, capturing their relentless riffing in its full glory! Rooting for their garage-rock fuzz-o-rama, Screaming Fly spread their wings on to more psychedelic, slow-burning, almost stoner-rock territory, often dissolving to glorious druggy wig-outs.
                                               

The guitars are what characterize Trip to Venus and this is important as Stefanos Flotsios, who has been handling them for the last few years, is the other guitarist of the biggest Greek rock and roll band, LAST DRIVE and OMEGA RAY, of the recent side-project of Giorgos Karanikolas of Drive.

Inevitably the compositions and construction of this album move to the same high level as the compositions of both Last Drive's last album and Omega Ray's. Stefanos Flotsios, guitarist of Last Drive invests with his voice and guitar the mixture of Heavy-Psych rock and rock 'n' roll, the group of Screaming Fly. The history of the band begins in 1992 and after countless live and D.I.Y recordings, in 2011 they release their album, "Super Zero" with which they unfold their dirty and psychedelic take on rock 'n' roll. In fact, "Super Zero" was released through Last Drive's independent record label, Happy Crasher.
                         

NIGHTSTALKER + THE SCREAMING FLY

However, Screaming Fly is a power trio and all of this would be impossible without their backbone which is the rhythm section of the band: Kostas "C.L." Loukopoulos (drums) and Stasinos "Stash" Papastathopoulos (bass).
Trip to Venus has been pressed on 330 numbered vinyl copies by the band themselves and distributed

by Sound Effect Records. All that remains is for you to discover him, travel with him and fly into the hot clouds that cover Aphrodite. With an electric and heavy rhythm on the guitar begins the feature "Animal", which seems to have been created after a long rehearsal, where the drums follow the melodic turns of the guitar. The vocals at each end of the verse stanza seem to start from yesterday's psychedelic sounds and get lost in that never-ending path depicted on the album cover. It is true that in recent years the listener is tired of hearing about the infamous turn of the bands to psychedelia and the albums with themes of the universe and the charm of its vast image.

                              

Αntonis Zivas - Αthanasia Chrysanthopoulou

                               

Δεν αρκεί να βρεις ένα studio, να παίξεις μουσική και μετά να βγάλεις μερικά χλιαρά κομμάτια που θα συγκεντρωθούν σε έναν δίσκο. Είναι απαραίτητο σε κάθε στίχο και σε κάθε μελωδία ο καλλιτέχνης να

μεταφέρει πίστη και λύσσα για δημιουργία στον ακροατή. Ένα από τα είδη της μουσικής που τα συναισθήματα αυτά διογκώνονται στον υπερθετικό βαθμό είναι το rock 'n' roll. Τί συμβαίνει όμως όταν το rock n’ roll συναντά τα μουσικά στρώματα της ψυχεδέλειας και τί κάνουν τα μέλη των Last Drive όταν δεν ηχογραφούν δίσκους ή όταν δεν κάνουν συναυλίες; Δύο φαινομενικά ασύνδετα ερωτήματα που η απάντηση τους βρίσκεται στον καινούργιο δίσκο των The Screaming Fly, "Trip To Venus".
                           

Ο Στέφανος Φλώτσιος, κιθαρίστας των Last Drive επενδύει με την φωνή και την κιθάρα του

το μίγμα από garage rock και rock 'n' roll, το συγκρότημα των Screaming Fly. Η ιστορία της μπάντας ξεκινάει το 1992 και μετά από αμέτρητα live και D.I.Y ηχογραφήσεις, το 2011 κυκλοφορούν το άλμπουμ τους, "Super Zero" με το οποίο ξεδιπλώνουν τη βρώμικη και ψυχεδελική άποψή τους πάνω στο rock 'n' roll. Μάλιστα το "Super Zero" κυκλοφόρησε μέσω της ανεξάρτητης δισκογραφικής εταιρείας των Last Drive, Happy Crasher.
                                         

                                 
Με ηλεκτρικό και heavy ρυθμό στην κιθάρα ξεκινάει το χαρακτηριστικό "Animal", το οποίο φαντάζει να έχει δημιουργηθεί μετά από πολύωρη πρόβα, όπου τα τύμπανα ακολουθούν τα μελωδικά γυρίσματα

της κιθάρας. Τα φωνητικά σε κάθε τέλος της στροφής των στίχων μοιάζουν να ξεκινούν από ψυχεδελικούς ήχους του χτες και να χάνονται μέσα σε αυτό το ατέρμονο μονοπάτι που απεικονίζεται στο εξώφυλλο του δίσκου. Είναι αλήθεια πως τα τελευταία χρόνια ο ακροατής έχει βαρεθεί να ακούει για την περιβόητη στροφή των συγκροτημάτων στην ψυχεδέλεια και στα album με θεματικές το σύμπαν και την γοητεία της αχανούς εικόνας του.
                                    

Όμως, όταν οι μελωδίες σου επιβάλλουν να βγεις από την ζώνη ασφάλειάς σου και να μπεις στον trippy

χορό του "Dimension X", κανένα μουσικό αυτί δεν μένει ασυγκίνητο. Ακολουθούν ερωτικοί υπαινιγμοί μέσα από το "Evol" για ένα διάλειμμα πριν το πειραματικό "Fever" το οποίο δίνει το τελικό φινίρισμα στον θεματικό ψυχεδελικό "Trip to Venus". Rock 'n' roll μαζί με ένα ασαφές ηλεκτρικό υπόβαθρο ολοκληρώνουν την δουλειά μιας παρέας δημιουργών που από ό,τι φαίνεται κυκλοφορούν υλικό όταν αναζητούν επικοινωνία. Οι The Screaming Fly, μετά από επίσκεψή τους σε πολλές πόλεις για την

παρουσίαση του καινούργιού τους μουσικού εγχειρήματος θα βρεθούν στο Ziria Festival 2019. Οι συνθέσεις του νέου άλμπουμ εκτοξεύονται σε ένα ψυχεδελικό ντελίριο όπου όλοι εκείνοι οι ήχοι που καθόρισαν το rock and roll, από το psychedelic rock των 60’s ως αυτό της paisley underground σκηνής της δεκαετίας του ’80, το garage punk και το space hard rock των seventies συνυπάρχουν αρμονικά μέσα σε αυτό το εξαίσιο άλμπουμ, με μια δόση ισορροπίας και μοναδικής αφομοίωσης.
                               

Οι κιθάρες είναι αυτές που χαρακτηρίζουν το Trip to Venus και αυτό έχει τη σημασία του καθώς ο Στέφανος Φλώτσιος που τις χειρίζεται τα τελευταία χρόνια είναι ο έτερος κιθαρίστας, της μεγαλύτερης ελληνικής rock and roll μπάντας, των Last Drive αλλά και των Omega Ray, του σχετικά πρόσφατου side- project του Γιώργου Καρανικόλα των Drive. Αναπόφευκτα οι συνθέσεις και το χτίσιμο του εν

λόγω άλμπουμ κινούνται στο ίδιο υψηλό επίπεδο με τις συνθέσεις τόσο του τελευταίου άλμπουμ των Last Drive όσο και αυτού των Omega Ray. Οι Screaming Fly όμως είναι ένα power trio και όλα αυτά θα ήταν ανέφικτα χωρίς τη ραχοκοκαλιά τους που αποτελεί τη rhythm section της μπάντας: ο Κώστας “C.L.” Λουκόπουλος (ντραμς) και ο Στασινός “Stash” Παπασταθόπουλος (μπάσο). Το Trip to Venus έχει τυπωθεί σε 330 αριθμημένα αντίτυπα βινυλίου από την ίδια τη μπάντα και τη διανομή του έχει αναλάβει η Sound Effect Records. Αυτό που μένει είναι να τον ανακαλύψετε, να ταξιδέψετε κι εσείς μαζί του και να πετάξετε μέσα στα καυτά νέφη που σκεπάζουν την Αφροδίτη.

VARIOUS - FAIRYTALES CAN COME TRUE (VOLUME 4): WE ALL LOVE THE HUMAN RACE 2009

                               

 

PLASTIC PENNY

Volume 4 in Psychic Circle's series of psychedelic pop compilations is an entertaining set and a definitive keeper. Obviously, the focus of this series lies on lighter, fluffier songs, often replete with string & brass arrangements.

WAYNE FONTANA

That said, the psychedelic flag flies high on most of the 20 nuggets Nick Saloman caters here. High on the list of out-there highlights is the set's opener, Alan Dell's "The Blue Sound of Love," the ending of which is a daring (though slightly clumsy) game of stereo fading-and-phasing.

COLIN GIFFIN

Colin Giffin's "Changes in Our Time," and "Hiding Behind My Smile" by Los Iberos (from Spain) are two more prime examples of pop music being used to open and alter perceptions.

LOS IBEROS

The lighter side of the collection can be illustrated by the Haystack's "Letter to Josephine," Chris Andrews' "Maker of Mistakes," John Burness' soulful, organ-backed "I Don't Want You (Any More),

EYES OF BLUE

" or Wayne Fontana's spirited "We All Love the Human Race," a catchy song whose psychedelic content consists solely of a little echo in the fade-out.

CHERRY SMASH

This volume is a little light in terms of obscure recordings by musicians who would later become famous, although you do get the powerful "She Does" by the Plastic Penny, who at the time featured future Procol Harum guitarist Mick Grabham and future Elton John bandmembers Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson.

TIM ANDREWS & PAUL KORDA

Overall, a well-balanced collection of popsike sides. All tracks were originally released on 45s in the late '60s.

Tom Verlaine: (13 December 1949 - 28 january 2023) 4 Albums

 

Tom Verlaine, Influential Guitarist and Songwriter, Dies at 73. He first attracted attention with the band Television, a fixture of the New York punk rock scene. But his music wasn’t so easily

categorized. Tom Verlaine (born Thomas Miller, December 13, 1949 – January 28, 2023) was an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Tom Verlaine, whose band Television was one of the most influential to emerge from the New York punk rock scene centered on the nightclub CBGB — but whose exploratory guitar improvisations and poetic songwriting were never easily categorizable as punk, or for that matter as any other genre — died on Saturday in Manhattan.
                          

Verlaine was born Thomas Miller to a Jewish family in Denville, New Jersey on December 13, 1949. He moved to Wilmington, Delaware, with his family at age of six. He began studying piano at an early

age, but switched to saxophone in middle school after hearing a record by Stan Getz. Verlaine initially was unimpressed with the role of the guitar in both rock music and jazz, but was inspired to take up the instrument after hearing the Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown" during his adolescence, at which point he began a long period of experimentation to develop a personal style. A later musical influence of Verlaine's became jazz musician Miles Davis' electric-period recordings, particularly the Japanese LPs Agharta (1975) and Dark Magus (1977), which he was able to obtain as imports.
                        

Famed for his trailblazing work as the singer and guitarist of the seminal New York punk band Television, Tom Verlaine also carved out an acclaimed and eclectic solo career. Born Thomas Miller in

Wilmington, Delaware in 1949, Verlaine (who borrowed his name from the French symbolist poet) was trained as a classical pianist but gravitated toward rock music after an encounter with the Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown." In 1968, he and bassist Richard Meyers (later Richard Hell) moved to New York's Lower East Side, where they and drummer Billy Ficca formed the group the Neon Boys. After the addition of second guitarist Richard Lloyd, the band renamed itself Television.
                      

                    
Beginning with their landmark 1975 debut single, "Little Johnny Jewel," Television became one of the

most renowned groups on the burgeoning New York underground scene; though lumped together with the punk phenomenon, the band's complex songcraft -- powered by Verlaine's strangled vocals, oblique lyrics, and finely honed guitar work -- clearly set them apart from their peers. However, after only two albums, 1977's classic Marquee Moon and the disappointing 1978 follow-up, Adventure, Television disbanded, and Verlaine started a solo career.
                           

TOM VERLAINE + PATTI SMITH

He resurfaced in 1979 with a self-titled debut that featured the song "Kingdom Come," later covered by avowed fan David Bowie. 1981's dense Dreamtime earned significant acclaim, and even hit the U.S.

album charts. Both 1982's diverse Words from the Front and 1984's Cover drew raves from the British press, spurring Verlaine to take up residency in London. After a three-year hiatus, he returned with Flash Light, regarded as one of his best solo efforts. Following 1990's The Wonder, Television briefly re-formed for a self-titled album and tour; the group again broke up, however, and in 1992 Verlaine issued his first instrumental LP, Warm and Cool. In 1994, he composed the score for the film Love and a .45.
                    

After that, Verlaine renewed his working relationship with Patti Smith (he played on her first two

albums), playing shows and recording new material with her sporadically for the next decade. Also in the mid-'90s, sessions as producer for Jeff Buckley were scrapped (although the material was later issued as Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk) and Television continued to be an on-again, off-again live venture. It wasn't until 2006 that Verlaine finally released new solo material: Songs and Other Things and an instrumental follow-up to Warm and Cool, Around, for new label Thrill Jockey.

TOM VERLAINE - TOM VERLAINE 1978

                  

Tom Verlaine is the eponymous solo debut studio album by American musician and Television guitarist/vocalist Tom Verlaine. It was released in 1979 through Elektra Records. Several tracks, including "The Grip of Love", "Breakin' in My Heart", "Last Night", and "Red Leaves" trace their roots

to unreleased Television songs. In the case of "Red Leaves", the verses are drawn from "Adventure", the unfinished title track of Television's 1978 album Adventure. Fred Smith, bassist for Television, also performs on the record. Ricky Wilson, at the time guitarist of the B-52's, plays guitar on "Breakin' in My Heart"; it is the only song Wilson recorded that did not involve other B-52's members. David Bowie covered "Kingdom Come" the following year on Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps). Verlaine was originally set to play lead guitar on this version; however, Bowie was unhappy with his part and instead used King Crimson guitarist, Robert Fripp.

TOM VERLAINE - DREAMTIME 1981

                             

Dreamtime is the second solo studio album by American musician Tom Verlaine, originally released in

1981. "Without a Word" is a rewrite of "Hard On Love," an unreleased Television song performed live in 1974 and 1975. Verlaine was an advocate of guitar techniques and recording processes including close miking, delay, reverb, slap echo, phasing/flanging, tremolo, etc. Television's first commercially released recording, "Little Johnny Jewel", saw Verlaine, in defiance of common practice, plugging his guitar straight into the recording desk with no amplification. Verlaine rarely employed heavy distortion.

TOM VERLAINE - SONGS AND OTHER THINGS 2006

                          

Songs and Other Things is an album by Tom Verlaine. It was engineered in and around New York City by Patrick A. Derivaz, Wayne Dorell, Fred Smith, Mario Salvati, and Larry 7. The development of

Verlaine's style likely was influenced by the way he learned to play; he told a Guitar Player interviewer in 2005 "I never played guitar along with records, so I never learned all the speed licks everybody gravitates to when starting out. I know 19-year-old guitarists who can play Danny Gatton solos note-for-note. They don’t really know what notes they’re playing, but they do them flawlessly."

TOM VERLAINE - AROUND  2006 (Apr 25, 2006)

                     

Mr. Verlaine, who was the band’s (Television) lead singer and did most of the songwriting, studied

piano and saxophone as a child, and his music had roots in everything from the free jazz of John Coltrane to the Rolling Stones’ hard-driving “19th Nervous Breakdown.” His often impressionistic lyrics reflected the influence of poets like Paul Verlaine, from whom the man born Thomas Miller took his stage name.
