Stop Kanye West recording covers of David Bowie's music

Stop Kanye West recording covers of David Bowie's music

David Bowie was one of the single most important musicians of the 20th and 21st century, it would be a sacrilege to let it be ruined by Kanye West.

There will never be another one like him. Arguable the greatest artist of all time; consistently great, consistently original. Thanks for everything.

Oslo Psych Fest: Ritual 2015 – interview

Interview with Oslo Psych Fest
http://badsoundsmagazine.com/2015/09/oslo-psych-fest-ritual-2015-interview/

October brings Oslo Psych Fest back for round number three. The three 30 somethings, Joao, Øystein and Ben are an interesting and diverse bunch: some more bitter and jaded, while others still have a more positive outlook on the scene. Even through all the ups and downs and hard work for little to sh…

Sonny and The Sunsets to play Oslo after dark

Don Simon interviews Sonny Smith of Sonny & the Sunsets

In 2011, the day before Oslo readied itself for the 17 May celebrations, a most curious spectacle unfolded in the outdoor seating area in front of Parkteatret. Sonny and the Sunsets, a laid-back group of Californian musical time travellers led by the ineffable Sonny Smith, played an afternoon set to…

Doug Stanhope: the Jekyll and Hyde interview

Don Simon is back with an interview with the great Doug Stanhope

Comedy is a dark art, best practised late at night, long after the cocktail hour. As a result, comedians don’t tend to be morning people, and Doug Stanhope is no exception. When Bad Sounds calls him at his home in Bisbee, Arizona (population 5575), it’s 6pm in Oslo and 9am over there. Stanhope is st…

Radio Birdman take wing again

Don Simon is back with another great interview. http://badsoundsmagazine.com/2015/06/radio-birdman-take-wing/

For many years it seemed as though Australia’s Radio Birdman would be one of the few great influential bands that would never reunite. Following their breakup in 1978, Birdman’s reputation only grew in their homeland and in Europe. In 1996 the reunion happened, and their legend was not tarnished. Th…

First Listen: Jackson Scott, 'Sunshine Redux'

http://www.npr.org/2015/04/19/399614580/first-listen-jackson-scott-sunshine-redux

If the psych-rock practitioner's goal is to disorient, he's succeeded. But Scott accomplishes it with the tuneful exuberance required to bring so many elements together.

There have been many strange rocks fashions throughout the years (and I’m not talking about Lady Gagas meat suit) but…

Review of the show by Don Simon: http://badsoundsmagazine.com/2015/04/evan-dando-bla-28-03-2015/

When Evan Dando tours solo, it’s always a good idea to get to the show early to catch the support act. They’ve been chosen by Dando, so the odds are good that you will appreciate their music – and the odds are even better that they’re going to join Dando on stage to sing some […]
