NEXT BIG THING?!: ULLLA : Fresh new faces from the lower countries -
Doetinchem to be exact. Unsigned band ULLLA have arrived to deliver the
goods with a terrific new demo-CD called 'Make Me A Story'. Here's why
we think you should check them out...

LESTER BANGS : Bukowski wrote about life at the Post Office, Kerouac
wrote about life On The Road. Then there was LESTER BANGS who wrote
about what ruled his life: music. We interviewed JIM DEROGATIS, author
of 'Let It Blurt', a bio on the gonzo journalist.

releases we stumbled upon yet another label worth your attention: MENTAL
TELEMETRY. Their motto: Better Living Through Dissonance.

BAD AFRO : BAD AFRO Records is a small Danish label busy "pushing
Scandinavian rock to the man". KindaMuzik talked with Lars Krogh, the
man behind BAD AFRO, about the healthy Scandinavian rock scene, hanging
out with beautiful women, and more...

LINEA 77 : Doing an interview with an Italian spaghetti-eater is not the
easiest thing to do. Especially not, when you decided not to ask only
usual questions, but also questions they wouldn't expect. So the
interview with Paolo, guitarist of Italian upcoming nu-metal-crew LINEA
77, got some hilarious moments. But hey - The result is okay! So please
read on... and enjoy!

AMM : The enigmatic contemporary art ensemble AMM took free
improvisation to an entirely new level over 25 years ago and continues
to shape shift its music today. With the increasing interest in
avant-garde music, AMM is finally receiving long overdue recognition by
young musicians and fans eager to explore non-rock formats. What's a
more perfect match for KindaMuzik's MARS section than a brief trek
through the AMM universe guided by AMM co-founder and percussionist
Eddie Prévost?

ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE : Deep inside the dark, rainy forests in the land of
the rising sun there's a place where you can still toke and drop out
like it's 1977. Is it art? Is it a cult? Clear your mind and find your
answers inside the ACID MOTHERS TEMPLE.

EVIL DICK : Some people work out their Oedipus Complex through
psycho-analysis. Others go through a Zappa stage and are reborn as EVIL
DICK. Mixing modern classical music, popular music, and free improv,
EVIL DICK is the typical outsider musician: singing about
carpet-munchers and performing funny instrumentals.

All this and some critiques of LESSER and SHALABI EFFECT.

TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE : First he was in Guided by Voices, but that
wasn't scary enough. Now he wants to entertain you by playing insanely
loud and rowdy rock. Who are we talking about? It's the TERRIFYING
EXPERIENCE, drinking beer and playing rock so you don't have to.

JOHNNY DOWD : Some folks can't get enough of his off-kilter tales of
murder, sin, redemption, and the rotten side of love. Others think he's
just plain weird. JOHNNY DOWD took some time out of his hectic tour
schedule to sit down with KindaMuzik and discuss the finer things -
Lo-Fi, Tom Waits, and how one should always respect a big-assed ho.

THE HANDSOME FAMILY : Brett and Rennie Sparks are THE HANDSOME FAMILY,
making some of the most interesting and challenging music around.
Wistful instrumentation, combined with Rennie's literary texts, team up
on classic albums such as 'Through the Trees' and 'In the Air'. In our
first Twang! Q & A, Alex Tobin and Maurice Dielemans talked to Rennie
about the music scene in Chicago, Marilyn Manson, and getting beer
thrown at you...
