SURVIVOR REPORT FROM MIGHTY SOUNDS [VOL.6]:
THE MIGHTY WIND CAN’T QUELL THE MIGHTY SOUND
BY KATERINA PETKOVSKA

This past 16th till the 18th of June the Capuv Dvur airport near Tabor was the stomping ground for Mighty Sounds VOL.6. The program featured around 150 artists representing nearly every aspect of ska, punk, reggae, psychobilly, rock, jungle, breakbeat, drum and bass and other genres. Although the party on the second day started resembling more of an autumn happening, due to the poor weather conditions and rain, the music and the atmosphere were definitely a manifestation of summer helped by the dedicated crowd that kept going and demanding “Jeste jednu!!!”

Where has the Orgasm Addict gone? The Buzzcocks on tour are older, wiser and apparently still able to whip up a frenzy — but is Viagra at the root of their continuing musical and masturbatory melodies?

Werner Herzog is a German cinema legend, and yet he has received little recognition in his home country in recent years. Now the director is finally back in Germany, where he is heading the jury at this year's Berlin International Film Festival. As usual, the maverick filmmaker is doing things his way.

Gay Beast + Cocoon @ Klub 007 Strahov

GAY BEAST (usa)
COCOON (cz)

@ Klub 007 Strahov

"Gay Beast are from Minneapolis and claim a 'neo-wave' sound which is about a decade and a few hundred miles removed from Chicago's now wave 'explosion', and they use that time and distance to their advantage. At times I am reminded of Karate Party, Devo, Brianiac, Lovely Little Girls, and Lake of Dracula, but that recall comes in tiny pieces, small chunks in a bigger platter. And all that is good, and better that Gay Beast studiously avoids aural polish. There is a nice film of filth on this recording. If this is how they sound live: Wow!" -SS (Z-Gun http://z-gun.org)

Brutal Assault has established itself as a Mecca for metal, located at the majestic Fortress Josefov in Hradec Králové. This year looks to be one of most heart-stopping events yet -- you’ve got black, thrash, death, psychedelic, progressive metal, hardcore and whatever else your metal-demanding heart might is thirsting for.With a total of 39 bands from 16 countries, it's apparent that Scandinavia is not the only place for dark hearts and raging souls. Why not leave those vacuous smiles behind and come listen to music that rips out your organs - in a good way.
