Limited expanded Double Vinyl edition of 700 copies! The reissue of ARISPEJAL ASTISARÓ+ [on vinyl for the first time], in expanded version with the four outstanding tracks ‘Noising in the Rain I – IV’, that were only available on the legendary ‘Bruitiste’ compilation (1987) by RRRrecords. Recorded between 1987 and 1989 and firstly published on CD only (in 1992) by Línea Alternativa, very much comparable to SHEIK ALJAMA in its minimal, cold and rough approach! Remastered in 2014 for a vastly improved sound, ARISPEJAL ASTISARÓ+ includes the 10 original tracks of the CD plus above mentioned 4 bonus-tracks. A ‘package’, that constitutes the perfection of the eighties E.G. sound under all aspects, including Arturo Lanz’ distinctive voice.
Aggressive siderurgical hammering ("Jari", "Arispejal astisaro"), mechanized tribalism ("Felacion", "Bi bajin"), hypnotic spirals ("Catare")... Recorded in Palma de Mallorca.Mixed in Almachriti Studio (Melilla-Spain/Africa) by Chibril Ben-Yúsuf. Remastered in 2014.

Op 31 juli brengt Wild Bunch We Are The Best op dvd en VOD uit. We Are The Best is wederom een knap staaltje cinema van Lukas Moodysson die eerder Fucking Amal en Together bracht.
Met Mira Barkhammar, Mira Grosin en Liv LeMoyne
Synopsis:
Stockholm, 1982. Bobo, Klara and Hedvig zijn drie rebelse meisjes van twaalf en dertien jaar oud. Ze besluiten een punkband te vormen. Het kan ze niks schelen dat punk dood is en daarnaast moeten ze het zonder instrumenten doen.
Self-styled as ‘basement rock’, The Kut present a sonic collage that evokes everything that made the 1990’s alternative rock scene such a beautifully broken beast. Tying thick slabs of fuzzy guitar, drawn from the core of grunge’s bitter heart, to ethereal passages of twinkling atmospherics that pay homage to the likes of My Vitriol and early Radiohead, the London trio - completed by bassist/vocalist Alison Wood and drummer Amanda Dal - will have you double checking your pocket for Pogs and Patchouli Oil. “We’re heavily influenced by the grunge scene,” grins Maha, “Bands like Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, Placebo and L7 have had a huge impact on us, as well as the Riot Grrl scene.”
Despite a nigh 4 year hiatus from writing and recording new music, The Kut have made an impressive comeback in 2014 with ‘No Trace’ - the lead single of the band’s forthcoming 5 track E.P ‘Make Up’ - picking up TV and radio support straight out of the blocks, and winning the threesome the top spot in MTV UK’s Brand New Unsigned 2014 Poll
Produced by James ‘Lerock’ Loughrey (White Zombie, Bjork, My Vitriol), ‘Make Up’ sees The Kut re-energised and ready to riff: “After taking such a long time out from releases (due to some record label misunderstandings), it was a big realisation for us that we’d become stagnant on the new music front,” explains Maha; “We made mistakes, the main one being pretty much just waiting. Life has ups and downs, but you have to just get on with it…. We never went away, we have just been regrouping.”

Fri 11th July – The Chelsea, Bristol
Sat 12th July – The Fullmoon & Attic, Bristol
