CIVLCast 16 // Interview w/ The Brains

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

For the the past seven years, Montreal’s psychobilly horror-punk outfit THE BRAINS, have been terrorizing unsuspecting audiences worldwide with their dastardly and morbid mix of 50’s rock n’ roll, country and old school punk rock. Fronted by undead latin lotherio slash axeman Rene d la Muerte, The Brains round out their unholy posse with beer-chugging, standup bass-slappin Johnny Montreal and the gravedigging, drum-pounding rhythm stylings of Franck O’ Brains. (From The Brains profile on the Stomp Records website.)

Amos Evans of Psycho Radio sat down with Rene and Johnny recently to talk about the state of the Canadian psychobilly scene and their future plans.

CIVLCast 15// Interview w/ Koefte Deville of Mad Sin

Monday, June 15th, 2009

Koefte Deville of Mad Sin has seen and done it all in the underground world of psychobilly. From his origins as a busker on the streets of Berlin to Mad Sin’s status as one of the most respected and best selling bands in the genre, Koefte has lead every step of the 20-year plus journey. Psycho Radio host Amos Evans was lucky enough to get a phone interview with the legendary Teutonic madman on May 11th. Koefte was too ill to perform the night before in Vancouver, one of 4 dates he missed on the tour, but still took time out of his schedule to talk about all things psychobilly.

MUSIC WASTE // June 9-13th, 2009

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

Music Waste. It is the best place for you to get to knw yr own, as those in Washington might say. Highlighting “Vancouver’s most exciting and innovative bands”…and this year comedy and art as well.

Alongside the most buzzed about band of spring 2009 Japandroids, NME hyped Sex With Strangers and the sleeping Apollo Ghosts you can see an unholy amount of Metro Vancouver band talent. And truly, these are the most exciting and innovative bands in the area. Crawling out of the woodwork of the downtown Eastside, Music Waste offers a taste of the “other” Vancouver music scene, a scene generally eschewing the Granville Strips for shows in sheds, bank atm rooms, sushi restaurants and clubs in Vancouver’s forgotten district.

It begins last night, and continues till Sunday.

The lineup is jaw dropping, and the price of all drops the jaw even further. 15$ for all, or $5 per show.
