(gig report)DIY GIG:MIDNIGHT CLIMAX/SENF/GEMIŠT/FAJRUNT-22.07.2017.-Varaždin

Varaždin već duže vrijeme nema klub u kojem bi se mogli organizirati i održavati koncerti bendova sa underground scene, koja je bogata odličnim i raznolikim bendovima. Varaždin je uvijek imao dobru sceni i s jedne strane je žalosno da nema kluba, a s druge je jako dobra ideja snalaziti se organizacijom DIY gigova po dvorištima Varaždina i bliže okolice.

Nedavno je osnovana D.A.K. Bambucha(Društvo Alternativnih Kulturnjaka), udruga sa ciljem promicanja alternativne kulture i organiziranjem popratnih sadržaja u DIY duhu, koja je sve to digla na malo viši nivo i toplo se nadam da će radi trud udruge jednog dana uroditi plodom kod političkih glavešina grada i varaždinske županije, pa će se naći i neki klub.

Pošto je bilo krasno subotnje vruće ljetno popodne otišli smo na gig i taman negdje kako smo stigli na mjesto događanja, počeo je svirati prvi bend MIDNIGHT CLIMAX čiji članovi dolaze iz različitih gradova kao što su Čakovec, Koprivnica, ali sjedište im je Zagreb. O ovom bendu je već bilo riječi na stranicama ovog zinea, pošto smo radili interview i recenzirali njihov demo, a žarko sam ih želio negdje uhvatiti uživo, jer sam o njihovim nastupima čuo samo riječi hvale. Nisam se prevario, bili su odlični. Radi se o hardcoreu taman po mojoj mjeri, brzo, energično i kratko. Kada bih morao opisati njihovu muziku, opisao bih je kao spoj Circle Jerks, ranih Suicidal Tendencies i Spermbirdsa, čiji cover “No Punks in K-Town” su i odsvirali. Moram pohvaliti i vokala Matea za energičan nastup unatoč velikoj vrućini.

Kao drugi na red za sviranje dolaze SENF bend koji je nastao na pepelu Rectal Destroyer, sa promijenjenom postavom i sada sviraju neki crossover sa dosta brzih metal utjecaja, nešto stonera i naravno punka sa uglavnom zajebantskim tekstovima iz svakodnevnog života. Vokali i back vokali su prilično brutalni, muzika je brza i energična a promovirali su svoj novi, drugi po redu e.p. koji je izašao ovih dana. Prašili su kojih pola sata, taman ono za dušu.

Vrijeme brzo leti i došlo je vrijeme za treći bend, a to je GEMIŠT. Zadnji put kada sam ih gledao uživo su svirali bez gitarista, znači only bass and drum, a sada su bili u kompletnoj postavi. Gemišt sviraju grindcore na varaždinsko zagorski način i otprašili su svoj nastup onako kako i grindcore bend treba, znači brzo i ni prekratko niti predugo, kojih 25 minuta nastupa grind energije!

Kao četvrti i zadnji bend, čijem nastupu sam se najviše radovao, svirao je FAJRUNT, melodični punkrock bend iz Varaždina. Gledao sam ih više puta u staroj postavi i živo me zanimalo kako će to zvučati u novoj postavi, jer su ovih dana izdali novi, drugi po redu album, koji mi je odličan i jako sam se veselio njihovom nastupu. Nisam se razočarao, super su kombinirali novi materijal i neke hitove s prvog albuma i zvučali su fenomenalno. Ono što me impresioniralo je, da nisu imali pripremljenu setlistu, već su onako iz glave lupali stvari koje su onda odrokali kao da ne postoji sutra. Preodličan bend, preodličan nastup!

Gig je završio, planiraju se nova događanja, a ovaj zine želi D.A.K.Bambucha puno uspjeha i potruditi ćemo se pomoći medijski i marketinški koliko možemo da Varaždin napokon dobije klub koji zaslužuje!

 

(record review)FAJRUNT-“Predstava”

Album cover

This band comes from Varaždin, Croatia and this is their second album. When they released their first album, the music was okay but in my opinion they lacked some punk aggression and although the first album had its moments, it was more poppy than punk effort with too many light songs. This new album comes as a surprise and a really pleasent one! After they made some lineup changes and continued on as a trio they made a step forward as a band. This new album contains 14 songs plus intro and it is a tour de force in melodic punk like no other band does in these northern parts. All the lyrics are in Croatian language and the lyrics are more angry, more straight forward in your face, although they continued that nice personal line in throughout all the songs. The album in on the repeat all the time and I have been listening it for one week solidly and it never ceases to amaze me! There was once in Varaždin one band called Ateisti, that was and still is, the best band from Varaždin in my opinion, but Fajrunt is the only band that filled the hole that was created when Ateisti disbanded. These guys sure know how to play and how to deliver excellent songs! Download their album for free and listen and enjoy! Top songs:”Protiv zidova”, “Predstava”, “Na ulici”.

STATEMENTS by Daniele Badursi:

“The digital book with cassettes tells us an important historical record: the collection of audio cassettes slows down in the late 90s and stops in the following years due to the initial spread of the cd recorder, to continue in technological evolution with the final step To digital media and liquid music between cd, mp3, streaming, download, YouTube, Bandcamp, and more.

In addition to being a gift for fans, this update is certainly a fair tribute also dedicated to all the bands that have contributed to the existence of the Italian and foreign underground music scene in the second half of the 1990s.”

Raw Art Fanzine:
The idea is very much like and is having success in Italy and abroad. I’m referring to the digital restoration of Raw Art, a fanzine born to friends 20 years ago and later became one of the landmarks of underground music and culture in Italy (and overseas among the workmen).
20 years ago, it was no surprise to be able to realize such a project in the deep south of Italy. The computer found it almost exclusively to NASA.
Yet, here we are, to restore a bit of history that was touched by hand … then the smell of paper, glue, and old printers. Finally, many historical memories are brought to light before being absorbed by technology, smartphone, internet, Facebook, WhatsApp or Instagram.
