Helldorado

Helldorado

In two weeks time the crazy train departs once again for trip through Helldorado! The festival that had it’s glorious first edition last year and is now back for more. What a ride that was! And they are upping the scale of this rock ‘n roll freakshow for the second edition! So, what you thought was weird last time around will now be mundane! Ofcourse we’re all just going for the clowns, bearded ladies, knife throwers, wrestling acts and everything bizar! But what a line-up as well!!! Monolord, Greenleaf! Kadavar! Vintage Caravan! Turbonegro! Danko Jones! Zeke! Dewolff! Nick Oliveri! Dwarves! Lucifer! Death Alley! Supersuckers! And quite a few more! Not sure what the side show will be this time around?! It might be you!!! Go grab one of the remaining tickets and join the freakshow!

I reckon it would be absolutely awesome when you could brag to other students that your teacher is that naked guitar playing dingbat of the Dwarves. Cause many of the songs featured on the solo-debut of the axe-slinger hiding behind a mask and the name HeWhoCannotBeNamed are apparently written during the periods when he acted as teacher and counselor. On the album Sunday School Massacre he opens a can of other Dwarves members like Blag Dahlia, Andy Selway and Nick Oliveri to translate his experiences to music. The result is a record, which just as easily could be labeled as being a Dwarves one. Although it often hints at a more meaningful layer throughout the songs and has a little less infantile humor. Or is it all a joke anyway? Just like his dead in 1993? Has HeWho really ever worked as a counselor? Fact is that sir HeWho has released a decent album; and we know that his superpower lies with the guitar and not as a vocalist…

Dwarves – The Dwarves Are Born Again

Dwarves – The Dwarves Are Born Again
MVD / Suburban – 2011
Punk
Waardering: ***

After seven years we are finally treated again to a record of the ever-lovely punk-outfit Dwarves. And as always they are still pre-occupied with taking copious amounts of drugs and abusing at least as much sluts. Raucously rude, silly sarcasm and lovely self-mockery are once again rampant on a record where all the band-members of the past twenty-five years provide a service or two. Frontman Blag Dahlia and guitarcreep HeWhoCannotBeNamed lead this merry gang which ofcourse features Nick Oliveri on their eight studio-album entitled The Dwarves Are Born Again to happy and disgusting highs. After all this years still not a mature bone in their body and thus we meander merrily along without giving a flying fuck about any thing or any consequence through their entire oeuvre of hardcore and punk with pop and rock. It is still that typical Dwarves sound; and still a Dwarves record that only the Dwarves can produce. It's gonna be a hoot again this weekend on the Gideon Festival!
