Gargamel – Fields Of Happy

Formed in the sunny city of Orlando, Florida back in 1998, the band Gargamel! consists of digital keyboard loon Servobeonic Man, kumquat guitarist Professor Knuckles, drum-and-steak beater Andymas, ape bassist Crazy Hector, and straitjacketed squealer Mandaddy. The very first time I saw them was during a live show at the 2008 Spooky Empire Screamfest Convention.

Over the last couple of years, the group has gained an insane following with colorful stage shows, a whiplash of studio albums, and even the band’s own scorching brand of tabasco sauce! In addition, Gargamel! has toured with GWAR, Anthrax, Mr. Bella, and Mushroomhead (among other nationally popular rock acts). Suited for fans of foul-mouth punk and Saturday morning cartoons, this awesome 5-piece has concocted an innovative sound by borrowing mind-alterning drug riffs from the likes of Jimi Hendrix and The Red Hot Chili Peppers. As evidenced in the 2007 disc, “Fields of Happy,” Gargamel! brings to the table a Funkapunkadelic wrecking ball of angry baby bruise rock crammed into a tin can of peanut brittle.

Kicking off this Hanna barbaric assailment are the haunting roadside acoustics of “Da Devil’s Bawlz,” a mosh-pit offense tossed at the mendacious tactics used by Bible-bashing Christians. Other tracks like “We’ve Got a Sitution,” “Cold and Twitchy,” and “The Rainy Day Fun Book” unleash a gonzo gorilla batch of pulverizing nu metal with twinges of fuzzy funk and Ritalin reggae. “Pussy Teeth” is a minute and 40 seconds worth of stomping dentata thrash. “Party Weapon” is a hallucinatory, alcoholic ditty about the long-lasting effects of date rape. The warped wavy gravy of “Favorite Fiend” and the mutiliation of “Dr Ripper OBGYN” emit the potent purple haze of the psychedelic 70’s. “Too Much To Share” is a not-so-friendly radio rage tune that barfs malt liquor and corn chips onto the money-making bureaucrats in charge of the record industry. “Get Up and Go!” is a citywide killing spree lead by an army of gut-munching zombies. The 60-second instrumental titled “Eat Out My Butt” is a proctologist’s worst nightmare wiped out on some cowabunga surf. Perhaps my most favorite track on “Fields of Happy” is “Language of the Knife,” a mass murder screamer taken from the point of view of a jealous kitchen blade.

I Cervelli della Nasa - Rimbamba

I Cervelli della Nasa – Rimbamba

La band si cimenta in un surf strumentale a tratti legato alla tradizione del genere, ma che non disdegna panorami futuribili, panorami che rendono il loro suono personale e affrancato dagli stilemi, spesso troppo rigidi, di un sound che io comunque adoro.

Un uomo siede davanti a una finestra

UN racconto PER LA VS DOMENICA
Un uomo siede davanti a una finestra in un pomeriggio invernale, mentre la sera si avvicina. Accanto a lui, un gatto nero gli fa compagnia. Davanti alla finestra, il mare è molto agitato e il vento sposta gli alberi. Vicino alla scrivania ci sono libri di algebra e fogli disordinati.

Dead end blues di Hugues Pagan

“Dead end blues” è un noir duro del 1990, ambientato in una Parigi crepuscolare e indifferente dove indaga il protagonista, un ispettore di polizia, un uomo che non ha più niente da perdere.
