D.A.F. - Die Kleinen und die Bosen

D.A.F. stands for "Deutsch Amerikanishe Freundschaft" (German/American Friendship) . This LP "The little and the evil" is in my top ten all time best LPs so I'm going to share it with you and broaden your interests. Side A is studio and Side B is fucking psycho live from March 1980.

The band was mainly comprised of Robert Gorl a German who later went off to Asia to live a Buddhist live and Gabi Delgado-Lopez a Spaniard who later went to live in Scandinavia. The band were criticized unfairly for some of their imagery and logos also for their homo eroticism. Later LPs nearly always show them with naked torsos. How shocking! I introduced my friends in Nitzer Ebb to D.A.F. and you can see and hear the influence they had. D.A.F. recently got back together for a couple of gigs and put out a CD in 2003 which is very good, but was pretty hard to get hold of. It's simply called "Funfzehn Neue DAF Lieder"(15 new DAF songs) and has the two looking as sexy as ever and playing music as good as anything they made back in the early 80s. D.A.F. were signed to Mute Records, a label that released a lot of good electronic bands. The latest though is on Superstar Recordings. Here's also some you tube links www.youtube.com/watch?v=dShxBilGasc www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwAJXV070OY

I had thought Emils were a later version of Slime, but apparantly this is not so.

Luxemburg

I have driven through Luxemburg several times on the way to Germany. I also saw them lose something like 8-0 to England at Wembley when I was a kid. However, being the champion of underdogs that I am I cheered for Luxemburg. Didn't go down well with some people. At home I always felt like a tourist. Know what I mean?

Lots of these bands are from Luxembourg. Some are a bit screamo, but still not bad. If you like the sound of a band search them out and give them some encouragement.

Links

Check out the running riot website http://www.mrmagoomc4.blogspot.com/ for a whole bunch more rare gems. I haven't paid for Megaupload at the mo so I can only download one file at a time, so they'll take a while. The first three I did were the Court Martial, Blitzkrieg and Mayhem demos.

Website of the week goes to www.ultracrust.com which has a whole bunch of goodies. It's in Spanish. I'm not sure which country it's based from, but I like it a lot with some bands I'd never heard of like Tragetelo which has Martin from LimpWrist etc drumming.

Blitzkrieg - Animals in Lipstick

Liverpool boys recorded in 1983 on Sexual Phonograph Records. This is the only record I have on this label. Anyone know what else was on it?

Some tunes which I thought were French, but turn out to be from Luxemburgh around 1996 on Skunk Records. This says pay no more than $3.50. The record shop tried to sell it for $3.99. What gives? Anyway I got it for 50c, I should send the balance to Europe, but I'm a tight bastard.

Papi, Queens, Reichkanzlers, & Presidennti

This is one the the best compilations ever. It has everything going for it that got the juices flowing of a young punk. It came from Italy in 1982 and only cost one pound, it is on red vinyl, the booklet has info from each band, it has the quirkiness of being 33rpm on one side and 45 rpm on the other. Also the rawness of the production inspired one to make similar music. Lastly I just love those fuzzy Italian guitars. http://rapidshare.com/files/63879870/Papi__Queens__Reichkanzlers___Presidennti.rar
