Why should we limit ourselves to just earthly delights? Right! We shouldn’t. An outer space formation has found our planet and indulged itself in the earthling’s 60’s treasures of instrumental rock-n-roll and surf sounds. Due to maintenance on the intergalactic express way they arrived over fifty years late on earth, yet here they are: Les Robots! [APPLAUSE]

 

 

“Do The Robot! / One Way Ticket To The Moon” by Les Robots will be pressed in a batch of 300 numbered copies on 7″ vinyl.

Pre-order: from Monday October 8. Release date: Friday November 17.

On October 19 and 20 our home town Rotterdam will be turned into a showcase festival named Left Of The Dial, named after the song by The Replacements. In the words of the organisation: “Left Of The Dial offers an exciting cross-section of the best (post) punk, garage, shoegaze and noise rock of this moment”. 48 bands will play at the festival in several locations.

We are very pleased that the organisation has offered us to host a “Spazz Out!” at Left Of The Dial on one of the most insane locations of the festival. A small red light ship at the Wijnhaven (Wine harbor) named V11 will be ours to sink on Friday October 19. The following bands will perform: Les Robots (outer space), J.C. Thomaz & The Missing Slippers (NL) and Pig Frenzy (NL). With the presentation of these bands we have two exciting announcements to make (well, we are excited about it):

We at Spazz are very proud to announce our second release. It will be the debut 7-inch of La Trinidad: “Las Venas” / “Ay, Tus Ojos”. Two songs that are taken from their excellent digitally released “El Peligro” EP. The 45 will be released on Friday September 21

La Trinidad are a garage-punk-pop formation from Málaga in Spain that sings in their native tongue. La Trinidad is the name of the old working-class neighborhood of Málaga. Their influences? The period that marks the end of the totalitarian regime of general Franco to the transition into the democracy in Spain. From the subversive poets of that era to the ultra-violent and sex driven Quinqui film movement that took place during that time.

Their songs are insanely catchy; think of your favorite summer pop songs and then you’ll find out that the lyrics are intelligent, intoxicating and ridden with black humor. A sound that’s influenced by the likes of Ty Segall, Iggy & The Stooges and Spanish bands like Biznaga, Futuro Terror and Parálisis Permanente.

The 45 will be released in a batch of 300 copies only. They will be available for pre-order starting on Monday August 13. Get your copy soon!

Out Now! Limited to 300 numbered copies on black 45 rpm 7″ vinyl

We at Spazz are proud to announce our first 7 inch release: Pig Frenzy – I Don’t Need You / Oral Moral. This Rotterdam (NL) four piece met up to start a post-punk band, but gloriously failed. What came out was a raw mixture of garage, punk and surf served with vulcanic violence. An eruption of musical perversity and fury.

Release date: September 7.
