Bad Afro Records Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Congratulations to Bad Afro Records on celebrating the label’s 20th anniversary in 2016. Under normal circumstances, I might not necessarily post about a one-off gig five months from now in Copenhagen, but as it happens I respect the shit out of Bad Afro‘s taste — second to none in an appreciation of forward-thinking-but-still-classically-derived garage and psych rock, as releases from Baby Woodrose, Telstar Sound Drone, Dragontears, Spids Nøgenhat and On Trial can attest — and so the imprint marking two decades seems like a more than worthy occasion.
The show will feature Bad Afro mainstays Baby Woodrose, who have a new record, Freedom, due in September, as well as Telstar Sound Drone, who issued the excellent Magical Solutions to Everyday Struggles (review here) earlier this year, and Narcosatanicos, whose set will also serve as the release show for their debut LP, out Nov. 4. Couldn’t put together a more fitting bill if they tried.
All the best to Bad Afro on 20 years and here’s looking forward:
Bad Afro Records – Time to Party!
20 years of Pushing Scandinavian Rock to the Man! have gone by. Bad Afro Records is no longer a teenager and the anniversary party will take place at Musikloppen at Christania in Copenhagen November 5th. BABY WOODROSE, NARCOSATANICOS and TELSTAR SOUND DRONE are on the bill. Instead of looking back focus will be on the present artists on Bad Afro and all three bands have releases out in 2016.
The second Telstar Sound Drone album Magical Solutions To Everyday Struggles came out in March, the new Baby Woodrose album Freedom is released September 16th while Narcosatanicos will release their first album on Bad Afro November 4th. Narcosatanicos will play a full set since the night will also be the release party for the new album in Copenhagen.
There will be 200 free beers when Loppen opens at 21.00. The first 100 guests will receive a free Baby Woodrose vinyl 7” including the two exclusive tracks Breaking The Spell and ESP. This single will not be available in any record shops or as streaming and will no doubt end up being collectible. Pre-sale tickets are available HERE.
