Various – Perpignan Burning 2LP

Description

Perpignan Burning: the Southern French capital of garage rock in search of the riff. Or asLou Reedwould put it: “You can’t beat two guitars, bass, and drums.” Content: 27 previously unreleased tracks on double LP. All tracks on this compilation were recorded in or around Perpignan, France, and go to the musical extremes of an extreme city. Whether garage punks or freakbeat mods, country punks or city rockers, whether pioneers or new to the scene: the only thing that counts is the riff.Pascal Comelade, infamous riff explorer since the 1970s, is the unlikely godfather of this bunch of punks and rockers. He opens the trip with his emblematic cover design and closes it with his ownRiffifiorchestra to the ultimate riff ofThe Stooges‘ “I Wanna Be Your Dog.” FeaturingLe GORI,Johnny Tramuntana,Ghost Twist,The Hands,Henry,Yegg,Radiola,Jeune Senior Weekend,Monsieur Paul Et Les Solutions,No Cunt Act,Santa Maria Death Trip,The Madcap Dreams,The In-Fuzzed,Sea Urchin,L’Avant Garde,Dino Karper & The Shale,Lonely Nana,Lost Station,Minerves,Hugo Rich,Fuckboy,The Nothing,Lords of Wags,L’Impasse Humaniste,Les Crotales, andMammoth.
