Alfredo is de zakenman, muze, höker, chauffeur, kwajongen met hart van goud, en lijkt rechtstreeks gestapt uit een drentse versie van de Kameleon.

Ze besteden hun tijd doorgaans met het drinken van een vers glas melk van de lokale koeien, of een lekker glas bier in de lokale kroeg. Daarnaast zingen en schrijven ze liederen over het lokale nieuws, kijken naar mooie meiden, luiheid, touren door de regio in Alfredos auto, sigaretten roken, moeders, patat eten, plaatjes draaien en uiteraard de lokale travestiet. Het resultaat is een unieke combinatie van (neder)biet, garagepunk, folk, Duitse schlager en die heerlijke oer-Hollandse piratensound. Hun helden: Dennie Christian, Combo Knus & Gezellig, CCR, De Heikrekels, Meindert Talma, Action Swingers, Cocktail Trio, Het, Heino en the Rolling Stones.

Op de plaat worden deze donderjagers bijgestaan door:
Peter Kroes, de alles kunner uit meppel, van bluegrass tot punk, van indie tot schlager, Peter draait daar zijn grote handen niet voor om. Zijn CV is een lange lijst: The No-Goods, De Keefmen, The Cooths, Pine Needle Miners en the Kryng.
Gerhard Rinsma, de rockster, een Friese Groninger, maar oefent regelmatig alleen het waaierrijden in Drenthe. Bekend van the Krontjong Devils, the Firebirds, Hot Pockets en the Junohoos.
Arjan Spies, de muzikant, bekend van radio & tv, the Kik, Mark & the Spies en the Kryng. De aanjager, de man die alles in goede banen probeerde te leiden en het op de band slingerde in zijn Studio Teepdeck, de uiteindelijke reden eigenlijk dat u deze LP kunt aanschaffen.

They usually spend their time drinking a glass of fresh milk from local cows, or a nice glass of beer in the local pub. They also sing and write songs about local news, watching beautiful girls, laziness, touring the region in Alfredos car, smoking cigarettes, mothers, eating chips, playing records and of course the local transvestite. The result is an unique combination of (Neder) beat, garage punk, folk, German schlager and the delicious traditional Dutch Pirate sound. Their heroes: Dennie Christian, Combo Knus & Gezellig, CCR, De Heikrekels, Meindert Talma, Action Swingers, Cocktail Trio, Het, Heino and the Rolling Stones.

Arjan Spies, the musician, famous from radio and television, the Kik, Mark & the Spies and the Kryng. The pusher, the man who tried to steer everything in the right direction and recorded everything on tape in his Studio Teepdeck, possibly the reason that you can purchase this album now.

KUUR-019: THE TRASH TEMPLARS - Wanna be like you 7" EP

Kuriosa Records is very proud to present 4 killer snarly three chord garage raunch anthems from Bielefeld´s basement dwellers, THE TRASH TEMPLARS!

Once a myth now a wild and raw rockin' primitive reality. Not so much a bloodline of Jesus but more a throbbing vein of the purest trash. Finally these four Templars step out of a world of obscurity and are ready to claim their major influence and fame on events world wide naturally starting at the bottom. Ofcourse I was present at one of their first outings in the real world at Jerk Fest, an obscure festival in the middle of nowhere, these masked Templars went as wild as you go being deprived of women and secrecy for centuries leaving us in a frenzy on beer soaked pastures. Luckily label boss of this fine label was present and was more than willing to introduce the rest of the world to this well hidden treasure of a band. Four stomping garage crazed songs by these defenders of the holy grail of garage punk collected on a piece of wax, the one you are holding right now!

KUUR-018: THE KRONTJONG DEVILS - Action! 10"

THE KRONTJONG DEVILS - Action


A wild set of 10 full throttled reverb infested dance stompers! Garage surf frat punk mayhem at its wildest on a cool 10”. The fabulous Krontjong Devils from the Dutch North coast return after their great “En Garde” LP on Oetstar with 10 killer new recordings featuring 8 smokin` revved up instros & 2 rockin` vocals including a classic from Devils idol Freddy “Action” Cannon! They are where the action is!

Tracklist: Moon Relay/ Mustang/ Action/ The Jester/ The Rebel (without a cause)/ Magic Carpet/ Hey little girl/ The lone surfer/ Shish kebab/ Pink elephants.

Riff Ryan (KEWB, 6-9 a.m. Oakland, Calif.) is a fan:
I’ve been a fan of the Oetsound! since I was knee high to a tulip. And for my guilders, the best purveyors of the stuff are the Krontjong Devils. Take their latest record, Action!, for example. It’s action-packed from lip to label with that typical Krontjong flair—with brash enthusiasm and a thousand gallons of reverb. From the title track through Shish Kebab you’ll barely be able to catch your breath (especially when you’re jerkin’, frugin’ and rompin’ to every number). This is a collection of tunes that hits all the right notes and proves that the hi-fi hits just keep coming from the lowlands.

KUUR-017: THE SENSATIONAL SECOND COUSINS - Cruel baby

THE SENSATIONAL SECOND COUSINS - Cruel baby


Here it is, the sensational second single from Klazienaveens Krazy Kombo. The Sensational Second Cousins are at it again, pairing the a-side´s alarmingly crude tribute to all the nice gals with a superbly pounding but philosophical anthem on the flipside. Instant party favorite for kids of all ages.

"Hectic Henry and Ravin´ Jerk pull off a brilliant sequal to the richness nailed down in the 50s by the likes of Johnny Powers, Charlie Feathers, Warren Smith, Ronnie Dawson, Buddy Love or Jodie Reynolds. Topnotch party material both recordwise as in their ultimate sharp-dressed lively hood."

THE SENSATIONAL SECOND COUSINS - The meanest thing

With their home built drumkit and a stack of Johnny Powers, Sonny Burgess and Johnny Burnette records they created "Until you´re satisfied", an ultra short blast, and the crude "Meanest thing". Just a little bit over 3 minutes of rock´n´roll excitement. This Kuriosa 45 is a fine sampling of the many moods of these savage young Sensational Second Cousins.

KUUR-015: DE KEEFMEN - Me Keefman, you Jane (part two)

DE KEEFMEN - DON´T ASK ME


Here´s the fifth installment in the slowly but steady growing vinyl output from these campesinos DE KEEFMEN. After Vinyl Junkie Rekkids, Kuriosa, Dirty Water & Hey Girl, it is once again Kuriosa´s turn to satisfy your need for some Keefmen.

De Keefmen reveal themselves on this 3 song 45 as a crude, unpolished but dynamic bunch. The power and vitality of these selections is reflected in the intensity, the almost hypnotic quality of the aural experience. Here is the stark tragedy in "Wrong Kinda Place", the gutsy humor and mad wailing in "Don´t ask me" and the sad sweetness in "Anything", the real life sound of DE KEEFMEN.

Available already on their October tour of Spain and from 19 the November available to the rest of the world. Limited to 250 copies.

Be sure to pick up part one in the ME KEEFMAN, YOU JANE series on Hey Girl! Records, featuring the sentimental "Be your guy" and the ferocious "Jane"!

KUUR-014: TRAUMAHELIKOPTER "WOLF/ MURDERER" 7"

Bad sleep left me fried-hung over from last night. My baby woke me up.
I´d been dreaming: I was on trail for Crimes Against Music. The judge said garagepunk & rock´n´roll were obsolete; a studio audience applauded. Dig my jury: Corton´s dog, Jesus Christ, Giel Beelen.

The coffee and aspirin were ready. Ditto the newspaper, folded to the entertainment page.“Traumahelikopter are required listening for those who take their garagepunk gritty, wild and a few degrees below boiling”.

Mark, Daan & Knalbert, three guys, two guitars and one drum, are currently conquering the hearts of any true lover of exciting crude rock´n´roll. With this line-up easy comparisons can be drawn to the Gories and the Oblivians, but with some savage KBD punk thrown in as a bonus.
Just over a month ago Kogar Records released their debut, now Kuriosa Records has found some money to release their second 45:
the howling WOLF and the vicious MURDERER. Enjoy!

KUUR-011: DE KEEFMEN 10"

TOLD YOU ONCE TOLD YOU TWICE

MISUNDERSTOOD

Out from the ashes of the Miracle Men come DE KEEFMEN, actually it´s just the Miracle Men minus one. This 10”, their debut, has 8 killer songs filled with great garage riffs, of course the essential hint of Nederbiet and the excellent raw soul voice of the singer and the songwriter Henri. Recorded by bassplayer Peter, from No-Goods fame, at his Tapeworm Studios you´ll be assured to get that raw authentic sound.
From opener “Say we´re through”, an instant sixties driven classic to closer the soulfull moody and Otis inspired “I´ve been loving you too long” DE KEEFMEN give what you want, great songs!!! The tormented “Till the end of time” and the rave up “Told you once, told you twice” are other fine examples of their craftsmenship. DE KEEFMEN´s debut 10” is simply waiting to be played at home, in your local club at full force, so make sure you´ll get your copy.

KUUR-009: THE NO-GOODS "WONDER/ MAUREEN" 7"

WONDER

Some groups take 2 or 3 years to record an album, but these boys took over 4 years to record this perfect 45. And if the signs are not deceiving us, the earth will be shattered again with Lekkere Beat. At first touch and combustion everybody will be injected with a new dimension b-e-a-t. The Lekkere Beat comes from THE NO-GOODS, the only real beat group known to Meppel. THE NO-GOODS have been created around MARK TEN HOOR a young man from the countryside of Drenthe, who has written the most part of THE NO-GOODS songs. In all the venues where the group plays, that Lekkere Beat erupts. Everybody is getting involved in the game and has to participate: Dancing, jumping, climbing, screaming, but also intens listening.
The trademarks of THE NO-GOODS are the Outsiders matching beat and the Q65 strong lyrics. THE NO-GOODS have a born sense of losership, but are always full of inspiration. “Wonder” is the perfect example, it´s a brilliant slice of that Lekkere Beat, an outstanding sing-a-long pop beat song. “Maureen” is a song about a girl, fueled by despair as you could have guessed. The result is another fine 45 filled with Dutch garage beat you´ll have to have!

KUUR-010: THE RIPPERS – Stop me if you can/ Why dont you leave me alone 7"

STOP ME IF YOU CAN

From Sardinia Italy hail THE RIPPERS makers of the best snarlin garagepunk in recent years. Known for their productivity, a whole bunch of 45 and two full lengths have already appeared, and their wild no-nonsense live show. They have climbed many stage across Europe with their straight ahead beat mayhem taking no pause to breath and leaving audiences bewildered.
Kuriosa Records is proud to present two flawlessly savage songs from THE RIPPERS. The ferocious A-side STOP ME IF YOU CAN with wailin mouth harp and the pulverizing B-side WHY DONT YOU LEAVE ME ALONE. Both wild raw R&B rave ups reminiscent of Pretty Things, Tell Tale Hearts and Q65. As the man says buy, baby, buy!!

KUUR-008: THE HARA-KEE-REES - Cant stop thinking about you/ Im walkin babe 7"

I´M WALKING BABE

After releasing two killer full lengths, Explode!!! and II, this is THE HARA-KEE-REES debut 45. Yes for the first time you will be able to enjoy this great band, the purveyors of the best nowadays garagepunk, on the 7-inch format. Recorded on their stomping ground in Cologne Germany, its loud, primitive and RAW. Of course the easy comparison to anything coming out of the Northwest from the mid sixties, like the Wailers and the Sonics, can still be made. THE HARA-KEE-REES havent changed their musical direction. No they are perhaps even more wild, psycho, moody and angry than before.
A-side CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU is perhaps their most heartfelt recording to date. Organ driven garage killer filled with the essential ingredients in any teen-angst tale: love & pain.
The B-side delivers their insanely rockin and super wild take on the Unusuals IM WALKIN BABE. They increased the pace and created a fantastic and frantic garagestomper. A crude guitar and savage screams drenched in organ makes this a brutal raw crunchin sixties inspired punk monster. And so two great songs on one 45 for the LOUD crowd!

KUUR-007: FUMESTONES – Now at the mini bar!! 7"

OUT OF TEARS

PAMPLONA

Brandnew release of this great garage band from Spain. The sound of the Fumestones is more similar to the 80s bands and this 7"ep is a must for any garagehead outthere! Four songs full of fuzz and farfisa sound, make you wanna scream and shake! "Out of tears" is my fave song on a-side with snotty vocals and swirling farfisa and "Pamplona" on b-side is a fantastic garage song with great rhythm and catchy tempo whichs reminds me of two Italian bands from the 80s the Ugly things and the Electric Sheilds. Just and only this song is a good reason to get it!! (Great cartoon coverart by Paisley) (Lost in Tyme)

Releasedate: December 2005

KUUR-006: THE MIRACLE MEN – Dont Hide Your Love 7"

For those of you who harbored secret grievances that the Nuggets Vol 2 box set was exactly four songs from the Netherlands too short, I believe this balances the karmic ledger nicely. ALL HAIL THE BAND'S STUNNING ADEQUECY!BEST SONG: The one that sounds like "Can't Seem To Make You Mine", but isn't. BEST SONG TITLE: Here you pick one if you think this gig is so goddamn easy: "Don't Hide Your Love" "Let Me Love" "The Magic's Gone" "Can't Go On"- see what I mean? FANTASTIC AMAZING TRIVIA FACT: In mono. -Rev. Norb (Kuriosa) (Razorcake)

KUUR-005: LOW POINT DRAINS – BOTTLE O’WHISKEY 7"

You wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at the inconspiciously happy stick drawing on the cover of this record that inside is some fucked up, trashy rock and roll. Truly great, over the top, messy, noisy, reverb-filled garage punk that makes me happy. Turn it up—loud. (CK) (MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL)

Releasedate: May 2005

KUUR-004: GREEN HORNET - Backlash 7"

60's mod/acid indulged freak out music here. A sound like a sonic rock frenzy meeting some bugout surfers. I hear a Hentchmen or Mummies type of groove. Green Hornet have a party like sound that might rock it live & get the floor moving. (Smashing Transistors)

KUUR-003: SPIDER RICO - Mae +3 (The Ultimate Garage Trash) EP 7"

I expected to hate this based on the horrible band name and stupid pic on the sleeve, but lo and behold, this is actually pretty good. If blown out tunes with yelped/shouted vocals, fuzzy guitar leads, and caveman drums are up your alley, this should scratch you where you itch…especially if said itch was transmitted via the juices of some nasty trollop's loins.(SS) (Terminal Boredom)
