1000mods Discography USA Reissues Due in June; European Tour Starts This Week

Posted in Whathaveyou on April 4th, 2023 by JJ Koczan

There’s a lot of information below, and that’s before you get to the four album embeds at the bottom of the post, but so it goes. Greece’s foremost heavy rock export 1000mods are reissuing their full-length catalog through Heavy Psych Sounds specifically for US distribution. One doesn’t really need a reason to re-press good records and spread them far and wide, but in the case of 1000mods, putting their four-to-date LPs out again in the American market makes even more sense considering the Chiliomodi foursome are set to play Desertfest New York in September (info here), so yeah, assuring the albums are in stores and in hands a couple months ahead of time, well, it’s a solid way to do business.

1000mods aren’t strangers to Heavy Psych Sounds, having played the label’s fests last year in Germany, and as they head to the US for only the second time, the only question I’m left with is just how long they’ll be over, whether Desertfest is an exclusive or if they’ll do a full tour. Reissuing four albums released between 2011-2020 seems like an awfully long way to go for a one-off — though it’s not impossible — but if they’re going to tour and we’re crazy-speculating anyway, wouldn’t a new album also make sense three years after their latest, Youth of Dissent (review here), landed smack in the midst of a surging global pandemic?

As I’m fond of saying and have probably already typed somewhere else today, we live in a universe of infinite possibilities. A full tour and new record are among them. I have no confirmation on either, so don’t go being disappointed if they don’t happen. Or if you are disappointed, at least don’t blame me. The band had to push back their Australian run that was slated for February, and while one waits to see when they’ll head back that way, they’re on tour again in Europe starting this week, with Frenzee and Godsleep switching out in support.

So like I said, much info. A glut, even. But it’s all here, the preorder link for those reissues, the Euro dates, the album streams, etc. And before I turn you over to it, I’ll emphasize that with a band who’ve accomplished so much in their time — 1000mods weren’t the only heavy band to put the current generation of Greece’s underground on the map, but they’re forerunners for sure — you don’t really need a reason to dig into these records again. But it sure would be cool to see them really tackle the road in the US.

StonerKras Fest 2023 Announces 1000mods to Play

Posted in Whathaveyou on February 20th, 2023 by JJ Koczan

Based in the north of Italy near the borders with Slovenia and Croatia, StonerKras Fest will hold its 2023 edition this July, with Greece’s 1000mods as the first act to be announced. That’s a solid pull out of the gate, though I’m left wondering if they’ll headline. You might recall in 2022 Nebula topped the bill, and while 1000mods are not necessarily as long-tenured as the reinvigorated L.A./desert mainstays and so can’t yet claim the same kind of generational influence — though their native underground would not be what it is without them, to be sure — they’re probably right around the same in terms of draw.

Last year’s StonerKras also dug into its regional sphere with a Glory Owl reunion featured in 2022, and certainly between Northern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia there’s plenty more to include and explore in that regard as they work their way toward a full lineup this time around. It was six bands in 2022, and if 1000mods aren’t headlining and there’s another big name coming in for the day, that already ups the stakes for this July. I know nothing, as ever, so we’ll see how it comes together presumably over the next few weeks/months as tickets go on sale and so on.

Or, to put it another way, more to come. For today, here’s this:

StonerKras Fest 2023 1000mods

Rocket Panda Management is proud to announce STONERKRAS

– 15.07.2023 – Prosek-Prosecco (Trieste, ITA) –

Youth aggregation and cultural exchange accompanied by good music.

!!! FIRST BAND ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY !!!

*** 1000MODS ***
– stoner rock legends from Greece –

!!! VERY EXCLUSIVE SHOW FOR NORTH-EAST ITALY, SLOVENIA and CROATIA IN SUMMER 2023 !!!

Desertfest New York 2023: Colour Haze, 1000mods, Boris and More in First Lineup Announcement

Posted in Whathaveyou on January 30th, 2023 by JJ Koczan

This is some of the biggest news of my year, right here, and precisely some of what I’ve been hoping for since the advent of Desertfest New York in 2019. The NYC branch of Europe’s foremost heavy festival brand is slates do the seemingly impossible this Fall and bring German heavy psychedelic rock progenitors Colour Haze to the States for the second time as well as Greek heavy rock forerunners 1000mods, overcoming the pandemic-interrupted growth after a successful 2022 edition to realize a genuinely world-class event already just with the first reveal. And that’s before you get to the badassery of Lo-Pan, Heavy Temple, bringing Duel back, Boris, and so on.

I mean that. This puts Desertfest New York on a level of scope and reach with Psycho Las Vegas, Monolith on the Mesa or Fire in the Mountains or whoever else you want to namedrop, while maintaining club-show roots in its pre-party and secondary stages. I also wouldn’t surprised if a third stage isn’t added to the fest proper, as Knockdown Center certainly has that space available.

Either way, this is a big fucking deal and I’m excited at the prospect of what’s still to come. Will Steak return? My Sleeping Karma? Perhaps even a Green Lung US debut? The doors are thrown wide here as Desertfest New York 2023 takes it to that next level. The possibilities are that much closer to endless.

From the PR wire:

Desertfest New York 2023 first poster

Desertfest New York returns for 3rd edition this September announcing
Melvins, Boris, Colour Haze, Truckfighters & more

TICKETS ON SALE NOW VIA WWW.DESERTFESTNEWYORK.COM

Leading independent stoner rock, doom, psych & heavy rock festival Desertfest returns to
New York this September. Hot off the heels of their largest US event to date in May ‘22, the
globally renowned festival will return to the unique space of the Knockdown Center in
Queens, alongside an exclusive pre-party at heavy metal institution, Saint Vitus Bar from 14th to 16th September 2023.

Headlining the 3rd edition of the festival will be genre-defining trailblazers the MELVINS.
With King Buzzo & Dale Crover at the helm ensuring their 40-year status as icons of the
underground, Desertfest attendees can expect a MELVINS performance unlike any other, as
they are treated to the bands’ expansive & iconic back catalogue.

Joining them on the Knockdown Center main-stage, with a rare New York performance, will
be Japan’s own BORIS. An exercise in auditory marksmanship for any whom are lucky
enough to bear witness, BORIS continue to redefine heavy on their own terms.

German psychedelic trio COLOUR HAZE will join the festival for a US exclusive,
headlining Thursday’s pre-party at Saint Vitus Bar. A band who move beyond a space of
labels, their continued evolution propels them out of any current galaxy recognised as ‘stoner
rock’. Thursday night will also welcome the infectiously groovy sounds of LO-PAN &
Texan goodtimers DUEL to help warm up the gears.

Long-time friends in the Desertfest-sphere, high-octane Swedish rockers
TRUCKFIGHTERS join proceedings for their first New York performance in three years.

Greece’s stoner rock heroes 1000MODS also make the jump overseas, ready to bring their
ear-worm worthy riffs to revellers. Local legends WHITE HILLS, raucous street doom
reapers R.I.P & ‘heavy primal psych’ outfit ECSTASTIC VISION all join the bill.

Elsewhere Desertfest NYC also welcomes HEAVY TEMPLE, CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC, MICK’S JAGUAR, CASTLE RAT, GRAVE BATHERS & SPELLBOOK, with more still to be announced…

3-day passes (incl. access to Saint Vitus Pre-Party) & 2-day passes (Knockdown Center
only) are on sale NOW via the following link – https://link.dice.fm/Desertfest_NewYork

Day Tickets will be released in April. There are no individual Day Tickets for Thursday’s
Pre-Party.

Full Line-Up
Saint Vitus – Sept 14th | Knockdown Center Sept 15th & 16th 2023
Melvins | Boris | Colour Haze | Truckfighters | 1000Mods | White Hills | Lo-Pan | Duel |

Stoned From the Underground 2023 Makes First Lineup Announcement

Posted in Whathaveyou on January 19th, 2023 by JJ Koczan

You’ve got the forerunners of Greek heavy rock in 1000mods as a headliner and Black Rainbows who should have a new record in the can by then, Dutch out-there-searchers Temple Fang and burly Osnabrückian sludge metallers Iron Walrus, Gnome who are frickin’ everywhere right now, Acid Mammoth who crush and I hope have a new LP out this year, Mother Engine, dreamy Darmstadt instrumentalists Lucid Void, plus the eternally weird Beehoover and DŸSE, and did I miss anybody? I don’t think so. In any case, this is pretty strong first announcement from the venerable and long-running Stoned From the Underground Festival in Germany. Set to take place July 13-15, it’s always a spot on the summer’s heavy circuit and an event I’ve admired from afar for a long time even if I haven’t always necessarily covered it. I don’t have an excuse, I’m only one person and I think more than 20 years on from when they started out, the fest needs me to write words about it not in the slightest. They are an institution.

In any case, it’s already a solid assemblage and obviously there’s more to come. Earlybird tickets seem to be on sale now, so if you know you’re going to be in the neighborhood or if you’re putting yourself there for the festival, traveling, etc., you might as well get the bargain. For the rest of us, a bit of daydream fodder:

Stoned from the Underground first announce

Dear Stoned community,

So far we’ve been holding back on band announcements, but now we’re really getting started. Enjoy with us:

1000mods
BLACK RAINBOWS
Temple Fang
Acid Mammoth
Mother Engine
DŸSE
Gnome
Beehoover
IRON WALRUS
Swan Valley Heights
Lucid Void
…and more

Daniela Uhlig is already working at full steam on our new artwork for 2023, which will follow in the next few days – stay tuned!

1000mods Announce Australia and New Zealand Touring

Posted in Whathaveyou on November 21st, 2022 by JJ Koczan

[PLEASE NOTE: This tour is canceled as of Feb. 13, 2023]

Greek heavy rock forerunners 1000mods are fresh off a run of European tour dates that took them as far north as Helsinki, and they’ve just announced that early next year they’ll travel to Australia and New Zealand for further touring. I find myself wondering if they might go to herald a new album release; it’s been two years and will be going on three since they issued 2020’s Youth of Dissent (review here), and that’s an awfully long way to go for a record that’s not new. But of course, the time since Youth of Dissent‘s Spring 2020 release hasn’t exactly been accommodating to album cycles, so if they’re looking to give that record its due before moving onto the next, one could hardly hold it against them. It was a better collection of songs than perhaps its clean production led listeners to believe, and I don’t have to imagine those tracks going over well live because there’s a Rockpalast video streaming below from this year that demonstrates it plainly. So there.

Whether or not they’ve got a studio release in the works — and if they do, great, and if not, it’s still 1000mods — they’ll hit Wollongong on Feb. 15 and wrap in Auckland on Feb. 27. There are a couple long drives here — Sunshine Coast to Adelaide is 23 hours by car, reportedly — but hell’s bells that’s a cool tour.

Here are the dates as posted on social media:

The Obelisk Show on Gimme Metal Playlist: Episode 97

Posted in Radio on November 11th, 2022 by JJ Koczan

the obelisk show banner

Doing an all-Greek episode was so blindingly obvious that I actually had to check to make sure I hadn’t already done one somewhere in the last four years or so that I’ve been doing The Obelisk Show for Gimme Metal. Like, duh. And the playlist? One of the easiest times I’ve ever had putting one together. So many bands, so many vibes, so much to choose from.

Lotus Emperor’s new record, which was reviewed yesterday, was the impetus for the entire thing, so it seemed only fair to start with that, but I wanted to make sure to include a fair bit of landmark acts — 1000mods, Villagers of Ioannina City, Planet of Zeus, Naxatras, Nightstalker, Puta Volcano — alongside up and comers like Bus, Supermoon, Lotus Emperor, Acid Mammoth, Honeybadger, Half Gramme of Soma, and so on, in order to give some sense of the scope of the Greek underground, which for my money is one of the strongest in the world and an ecosystem of bands and fans unlike any other happening right now in Europe (if you want to expand to the rest of the world, Australia would rival).

Before I turn you over to the playlist, I’ll give the inevitable disclaimer that this represents but a fraction of Greece’s vibrant heavy creative community, and that there’s basically a planet’s worth of bands in Athens alone, never mind anywhere else in the country. I say in one or another of the breaks that I consider Greece at least as strong a scene as Sweden and Germany in terms of everything but broader recognition, and I stand by that. If you hear this show and want to dig further into any of these acts or find others, that’s the ideal.

Thanks if you listen and thanks for reading.

The Obelisk Show airs 5PM Eastern today on the Gimme app or at: http://gimmemetal.com.

The Obelisk Show on Gimme Metal Playlist: Episode 92

Posted in Radio on September 2nd, 2022 by JJ Koczan

the obelisk show banner

Two weeks ago I was at Psycho Las Vegas, and so didn’t get to post the playlist for episode 91. For posterity’s sake and because I plainly love looking at lists of band names, it’s below along with the playlist for the episode airing today, which is #92. The march to 100 continues.

The esteemed Dean Rispler (who also plays in Mighty High and a bunch of other bands) is in charge of putting the shows together on a practical level from the lists I send, and to him I extend my deepest appreciation. I’m constantly late. I suck at this in general, and worse, I know it. So yeah. Dean does a bit of hand-holding and I am thankful. He emailed me this week and asked if I was thinking yet about episode 100 and would I be doing anything special?

Well… yes. I have been. And I’d like to make it a blowout or some such, but you know what the truth is? I’m more about the work. When it comes to something like that, the most honest thing I feel like I can do is keep my head down, do another episode and then do one after that two weeks later. I’d rather feel good about a thing in myself and move on. I’m not sure I can get away with that. So maybe I’ll hit up Tommi Dozer and see if he wants to chat sometime in the next few weeks.

Thanks if you listen and thanks for reading.

Heavy Psych Sounds Announces Fest Lineups for Berlin and Dresden

Posted in Whathaveyou on August 9th, 2022 by JJ Koczan

In a manner not dissimilar from how its California fests took largely the same expansive lineup from San Francisco to Los Angeles and Los Angeles to San Francisco, Heavy Psych Sounds is bringing a circus to Berlin and Dresden on Oct. 21 and 22. In association with Greyzone and ElbSludgeBooking, the label has assembled a lineup that includes HPS bands and others like 1000mods and Gozu, and that sense of community outreach isn’t to be understated. The synergy between booking and releasing is a big part of what has allowed Heavy Psych Sounds to become the underground nexus it is, able to do more for bands than many other outlets. The festivals in cities across Europe and now in the US as well are another extension of that.

That’s not really an insight as to the lineup here or the label’s ethic or taste — also choice — but the fact is this is Heavy Psych Sounds doing what it does. More power to them, and so on.

From the PR wire:
