The Ex/Morzelpronk+Nico/Zowizo - Support The Miners' Strike (LP by Records Against Thatchsim rat 001, 1984)

Ok, I know. I said it before, but I do have more cassettes to post than vinyl for the time that this blog may last. But I did a lot of tapes lately, so I promise to do some more vinyl, and hey why not, some more Dutch punk. This benefit LP was 'made to raise money! Money for the striking miners i.e. as the proceeds from the sales will be sent directly to British mining communities' as it reads on the cover. There were 15 concerts, the first three by The Ex, Zowizo and Vacuum, and the last 12 by Zowizo, The Ex and Morzelpronk. The recordings aren't the best around, and hard to be separated - I gave up.

De Noordmannen (tape, 1982)

The final obscurity from Red Bol's archiefkast, a duo with Jan Boeijink on organ, guitar and vocals and Jan De Noord on bass and vocals. I have no idea where they are from - I believe from Winterswijk. They do play a dutch version of Crass' 'Bloody Revolutions', but here too I had problems separating the tracks. All I have to say really!

Camille - Selectie 78-83 (tape, 1984), Camille (tape, ?)

More highly obscure stuff from a student from the art academy in Enschede, the AKI. I have no idea about who he is, but the 'Selectie 78-83' is a nice selection of various kinds of musical styles, from punk to electronics and some radio play stuff. I tried separating this into various tracks, but especially on side two I got lost. But this is a great tape. The other tape doesn't have any information, not even a title, and is basically two 45 minutes of noisy guitar trash. I must admit I didn't like it that much, but for the real diehards I enclose it here.

Vorderingen (two tapes, WW Tapes wc 7, 1984?)

No doubt one of the more stranger guys from the Dutch punk scene was Jan van den Einden, who was foremost a writer in which he showed a great talent for offensive language. I have various books published by Erik Vloeberghs in which Jan also contributed letters and they are funny, at least, if you are not the receiver. Jan van den Einden also played in various bands, like Second Auschwitz. On his label WW Tapes he also released a whole bunch of tapes which are spoken word related. I only know this one, a double taoe with mostly poetry and talking in Dutch by Jan himself, Henk K, Guy de Bievre, Didi de Paris, Flurk Notschaele, Erik Vloeberghs, Paul Citroen, de Ridders van het Ronde Meubel and in English by Andy T, Gill, Wild Man Fischer, The Redundants, Chris Larkin and in spanish by Salvador Dali.

Kommentaar B.V. (tape, KBV 001, 1982)

Actually the main idea to borrow a bunch of tapes was not the weirdness of yesterdays, but because my friend was concerned that my blog lost a bit of that obscure Dutch punk edge. Pretty much everything I have is already posted, and since I only post things that I actually have had in my hands means some stuff is left out. There is another record collection in town which I need to inspect. So my friend gave me this highly obscure punk (?) band from the small Dutch village of Aalten of which I never heard nor have other information of. One side is recorded in a garage, the other side have basically the same songs but then recorded live in CSA in Aalten in January 1982. Nice crude (post-) punk songs.

Jeroen Scheifes (tape, 198?), Njedjez (tape, 198?)

More borrowed obscurities - this will go on for a few more days - until monday to be precise, here with more free jazz inspired music. Jeroen Scheifes is from Nijmegen, and he is, perhaps, best known for a couple of novels which I never bothered to read. He smokes a pipe, which is nice to see. On his tape, which seems more like a demo of some kind, he has various improvised music pieces, solo and with others. He plays the piano and sings. He's also a member of Njedjez, which seem to be from Nijmegen, although the telephone number is in Amsterdam (perhaps no longer works). Members are Jos de Vooght on saxophones, Bart van Ratingen on saxophone, Frans Heeremans on trombone, Hein Peijenburg on basclarinet, Scheifes on piano and vocals, Peter Vissers on electric bass and one Rene on drums and vocals. None of these names mean anything to me, except for Scheifes whom I used to see on a bicycle every now and then. Partly free jazz inspired punk - well, or vice versa. This too might be more a demo of some kind.

Music by Lukas Simonis (Dull Schicksal, Trespassers W, Demogorgon)

Less obscure, from the same source, is this rather big post with music by Lukas Simonis. He's a guitar player from Rotterdam and played in lots of bands in that city, as well as being a solo artist. This post deals mainly with his work with his band Dull Schicksal.
From his website:
"Lukas Simonis has his roots as an instrumentalist and musical 'activist' in the industrial music and noise rock of the Eighties ( Throbbing Gristle, the Residents, Pere Ubu, Sonic Youth and beyond).Being a part of the Rotterdam jazzbunker scene (a collective that consisted of heavy drug induced punk rockers, freejazzers, early electronic musicians and pre-postrock combo's) he discovered the delimited world of improvisation. In the meantime & after he played in bands like Dull Schicksal, Trespassers W, Morzelpronk, AA Kismet, Liana Flu Winks, VRIL and Coolhaven. At the same time he was organizing concerts, events and films, first at the Jazzbunker in Rotterdam later on the Dissonanten festival, the Dissidenten festival, Popifilm, Dodorama and finally WORM, a multimedia centre for experimental art.
Nowadays he collaborates with lots of people from different backgrounds. For instance; Apricot My Lady (with Ann La Berge and theBohman Brothers), Vril (with Bob Drake, Pierre Omer and Chris Cutler), Goh Lee Kwang (Kuala Lumpur), Jim Whelton (London). Pierre Bastien(Paris/Rotterdam), Dave Brown (Melbourne), The static Tics (with Henk Bakker and Steve Beresford), Eugene Chadbourne (USA), and lots of other people. He's still involved with WORM, mostly working in the elctronic studio and making radiophonic pieces. It’s only since appr. 3 or 4 years that Simonis started to play solo-concerts, after (and before) the release of his first solo album, STOTS, which got a good reception."

In this post five tapes by Dull Schicksal, of which three were also released on CD, 'Dikke Mannen', 'Haal Die Pijp Uit Je Mond, Jij Hond' and 'Ambush'. In the third zip you'll find more music by Lukas from the band before Dull Schicksal, Demorgorgon. Part of that was already on the V2 3D compilation posted earlier and this release was made for this evening. Simonis was also a member of Trespassers W, and I have nothing else by them, except this tape, which I also borrowed from the same source. This is the most normal typed rock music. It's a big post...
