Carambolage waren eine der ersten deutschen New-Wave-Bands, die sich ausschließlich aus Frauen zusammensetzten. Dabei war die Gründung einer sogenannten »Frauenband« nie beabsichtigt gewesen. Vielmehr ist die Punk-Allianz um Britta Neander, Elfie-Esther Steitz und Angie Olbrich organisch aus dem Umfeld der Ton Steine Scherben erwachsen, und es war das gemeinsame Interesse am musikalischen Experiment unter Freundinnen, das sie miteinander verband. Diesen Freitag erscheinen die Reissues der ersten beiden Alben »Carambolage« (1980) und »Eilzustellung-Exprès« (1982) sowie ihr lange unveröffentlichtes Album »Bon Voyage« (1985) bei Tapete Records. _____ Carambolage never set out to be a »girl band« but they were one of the first German new wave bands whose members were all female.

Rather, the punk alliance around Britta Neander, Elfie-Esther Steitz and Angie Olbrich grew up organically from the environment of the sound of Steine Scherben, and it was the common interest in the musical experiment among friends that they had with each other bound.

For the Fripp fans
Strangely listenable mix of industrial, rap, drum and base. Might well appeal to NIN fans and you children of the 80s.
Check out track nr2 - Bootleg Blood.

Paul Weller's new one, out on 14th May....sounding really good.
I know that there is a BossK fan lurking out there in the shadows. You probably know about this already but just in case
Shoreline Amphitheatre show on August 8, 1991*.
A very famous bootleg...
I missed that tour as I had just moved to Europe. Based on the bootleg, it seems like it was a great show.
However, 30cds? 250 euros? You gotta be a pretty die-hard fan to buy that release. If I am going to piss money away, then I would rather spend it on a nice single malt 😁

After many delays due to the ongoing pandemic "The Obelisk" is finally scheduled to hit participating Record Store Day stores on Saturday, Oct. 24th for the third drop of Record Store Day. The box set is comprised of all of Clutch’s Weathermaker Music vinyl releases. There are six double LP's, three 12" LPs, and three 12" picture discs all together in a beautifully designed box set. In addition, the box contains a turntable mat and a square, artist signed lithograph. The rigid box has a magnetic closure and the silver foil is stamped on black Sierra cloth. This is a unique collector's item.
Says Neil Fallon: “In 2008 Clutch launched Weathermaker Music. Starting our own record label has proven to be one of the better decisions we made and “The Obelisk” box set is evidence. “The Obelisk” is comprised of all the Clutch vinyl LPs released on Weathermaker Music. It has been a long time coming, but we think it has been worth the wait.” The individual 12” vinyl releases are Full Fathom Five (2xLP), Live at The Googolplex (Picture Disc), Jam Room (Picture Disc). Pitchfork & Lost Needles (Picture Disc), La Curandera, Strange Cousins From The West (2xLP),Blast Tyrant (2xLP), Robot Hive/Exodus (2xLP), From Beale Street To Oblivion (2xLP) Earth Rocker, Psychic Warfare, and Book Of bad Decisions (2xLP).
