The great review site Kick Out The Jams gives his opinion on Kuriosa´s latest:
De Keefmen – Me Keefman you Jane (part two)
A la espera de hacerme con el single de estos chicos para el sello Hey Girl, aquí tenemos una referencia paralela del mismo grupo y del sello que ha confiado en ellos desde sus inicios, Kuriosa Record, que ha editado, hasta la fecha, lo mejor de este trío. Desde mi punto de vista, la portada en blanco y negro es perfecta y los temas no desmerecen, empezando por ese “Wrong kinda place” que siguiendo todos los clichés del genero se me antoja un tema redondo y contundente, con un solo de guitarra demoledor. Más cuadriculadamente viscerales se muestran con “Don’t ask me”, rematando el tema con melodía. Y ya cerrando con “Anything” a piñón fijo y recordándome de nuevo, inevitablemente, a los Thanes. (Oscarkotj-2011)
I could not agree more, well except for the Thanes part, but that´s ok.

De Keefmen´s 10" on Kuriosa has finally gotten some appreciation. 2 and a half years after it´s release it has been picked best album of 2011 at SF Critic*. Recognition comes never too late. This time you can be on time and get their new 45 at Soundflat.
If you prefer you can also buy it at their upcoming show in Rotterdam with The Kik in the Exit in Rotterdam this Saturday the 17th.
This fall Traumahelikopter have covered all of the Netherlands with their primitive garage rock ‘n roll. This Friday the 16th in Nijmegen at de Doornroosje they will be playing what looks like their last show this year with Shaking Godspeed. Meanwhile you can read some fine interviews, Ugenda & DvhN, of course in Dutch.
*The digital download that is referred to in the article is available via Dirty Water and features the fantastic Vinyl Junkie Rekkids 45 "Cryin´ at my door"/"What´s happening" and the 10" released on Kuriosa, both released somewhere in the spring of 2009.
