The Mighty Stef & Cheap Freaks are releasing a split 73 for Record Store Day. Entitled Bad Bad Men, the EP features four covers of songs by american songwriter Greg Cartwright. To give us a taste of what's to come, here is The Mighty Stef's wonderfully touching rendition of 'If You Cant Give Me Everything' and Lindsey Byrne's directed video. The Bad [...]

Normally I tend to give the nod to an odd few gigs throughout the year but with so much happening over the next few days I decided to do up a list of recommended events. I'm not a big fan of Paddy's Day so any musical distractions are most welcome. To be fair, I would [...]

Do you like your garage rock trashy, with a dash of chaotic fury? Well then, you're going to want an introduction to Dublin's Cheap Freaks. Formed in 2009, Cheap Freaks recorded their debut album, Bury Them All, over a few days in late 2010 and early 2011 with Sean Coleman. On listening to Bury Them All you get [...]

They've released a handful of awesome EPs, but now Dublin, Ireland's Cheap Freaks have a full length album under their belt as well. Bury Them All was released this week by Big Neck , who also released the bands debut 73, Play Four Songs back in 2009. You can snag Bury Them All on vinyl from the label for $12, and you can listen to the album track "Cryin' Shame" below!

Fuck Knights/G-Biz – Split! 12” EP Kinda cheating here adding this one to the Single Life column, but go with me. It works well here. First up is the Fuck Knights , about as idiotic and amateurish a band name as you’re ever gonna find. And no surprise, the Fuck Knights play an intensely sloppy, lo-fi, fuzzed out splatter of garage punk. Oh, were my expectation set low when I dropped the needle on this spinning licorice pizza. Then --woah and behold!-- the Fuck Knights blew [...]

Yes no yes no yes no. The sun in Berlin can't make up her mind. Thankfully today was YES to the 24th degree. it could only be honoured with going for a jar after work. There's one more nice day this week: 2moro. I'll be holed up in the White Trash office for one half of it and Motor FM studio for the second half. BUT hopefully i'll be exchanging emails with Dita Von Teese (or someone very close to her hehe) and having a chat with the Cheap Freaks , the actual men themselves, so it's [...]

the Cheap Freaks played an electrifying set last night at White Trash. They even have one song that goes something (with more words) like "Freddy / Frightening / Hit by lightning". Coincidentally the sun burned out in a blaze of orange tonight (sun set around 9.30 today) plus a wierd rainstorm, the rain looked all slanty, as if there was a garden hose aimed at Berlin from somewhere. Now thunder and lightning and I'm making miso soup. June? Nearly July? Hmm.. I hope this week we can set up a last minute gig so that the [...]
