Two worlds collide in Traveller, an action-packed tale of violence, corruption and the little known world of the traveller community starring David Essex and his son Billy Cook, which comes to DVD on 27 January from Metrodome Distibution.
Billy Cook plays Owen McBride a half-breed Gypsy who struggles with his identity, but is reluctant to cut his ties with the Traveller world.
As a favour to a friend he gets involved with a botched robbery and finds himself on the run from a murderous gangster as well as the police. He finds refuge with Gypsy horse dealer Blackberry (David Essex) and forms an unusual alliance with a young female police officer (Kerrie Hayes – The Mill). But the Gorja world soon clashes with the Gypsy world culminating in a deadly climax.

In 2007, Sacred Bones Records founder Caleb Braaten started unearthing rare and little-heard post-punk, deathrock and dark punk tracks for an eventual compilation. Seven years later, riffing on the tradition of the internationally known punk collector series, Killed by Death, those tracks are finally being released on vinyl, CD, and digital formats as Killed by Deathrock Vol. 1. Bands from all over the world are represented on the comp, from the relatively well-known Scots in Twisted Nerve to the “completely un-Googleable” Move from Italy. Also featured are the French band known simply as Bunker on their first demo tape who later became Bunker Strasse, though still remained largely obscure. Kitchen & the Plastic Spoons formed as a sort of goof band in Sweden in 1980 and only released a couple of 7-inches before disbanding a year later in 1981.
The rest of the comp represents a vast spectrum of geography with the US being represented by Your Funeral, Glorious Din, The Naked and the Dead, and Afterimage. Screaming for Emily (UK), Baroque Bordello (France), and Taste of Decay (Germany) round out the collection. What all these bands have in common, apart from their dark, icy atmosphere, is that they’re quintessential pieces of the deathrock story whose music hasn’t been heard by nearly enough people — until now.
Spielzeug is proud to announce the arrival of two new releases.
Froe Char "Fossils" LP
"Froe Char aka Italian / Parisian Christina is also known as 1/2 of the synth duo Illustration Sonore who has an amazing Lp being released by the fantastic Medical Records label.
There have been a pair of previous Froe Char releases of dark beautiful ambiance but with “Fossils” she takes the distorted haze and murk of her prior work and uses it as a texture amid percolating synths and minimalist rhythms. “Fossils” is the sultry minimal synth record for the experimental crowd or the noisy bleak record for the coldwave kids.
I once heard someone say “you can’t dance to pain” but this record really proves otherwise."
This record is the first in a collaborative effort between Spielzeug Muzak and the excellent DIY label Modern Tapes from US.
