HOTEL MORPHILA ORCHESTER - Schwarze Energie 1982

"Punk Meets Art", unique and grandiose interpreted. We're talking about Hotel Morphila Orchester from Vienna, founded 1978 by Peter Weibel (vocals) and Loys Egg (guitar), completed by Paul (guitars), Franz (bass) & Wolfgang (drums). After their 7Inch Dead In The Head on Extraplatte they released a short time later via Schalter their first full-length. A bit of information about the style of the band: Peter's long, programmatic preface corresponds to the artist's staccato on stage: an eruption of key words, text fragments, codes and associations “in his unmistakable style, in which no syllable can be certain that it will not be swallowed up by the flood of words "(Thomas Kramar,"Die Presse"). But that's what one expects and hopes for from Weibel and his Hotel Orchestra: wise words in the corset of well-hung 70s rock'n'rolls: "Schwarze Energie", the combo's splendid debut." But not only excellently lyrically, also musically the four play a solid mid-tempo Rock'n'Roll, not quite so hard but that wouldn't fit. I added two bonus tracks but I don't know where from. They split up in the 80s, reformed in 2011 and a new album Face To Face came out and before that, this album was re-released. A furious masterpiece celebrated with an inspiring dark swing. By the way, cool cover, looks like mine!

V/A - Bloodstains Across Austria 2019

All right folks, now a brand new Bloodstains compilation and this time we focus the likeable Austria punk years 1978-1987 and we meet twenty-four divine examples from the beautiful Alps Republic and some of these rare goodies you can find in this blog - Snotty punk, melodic wave and rocking bangers shake hands and illustrate how versatile and colorful the Austrian scene was at that time. That's why I got the idea to pay tribute to them with this nice compilation (otherwise nobody else will do it). That's just a small selection of great bands but I'm very satisfied with the result and the liner notes and I don't wanna say thx at this point, those are hereby most cordially greeted and I hope you enjoy it!

Last post for this month and it belongs to our dear nice neighbors, this fine and rare compilation is one more a great punk/synth/avantgarde release from Austria which came out via Schallter Records. Very weird noises and electronics plus a few punk tracks can be heard and it's again, like Die Tödliche Dosis record, a interessting mix of the early underground scene from Austria's beautiful capital city Vienna, varied, charmin' and for all those who like to discover new music styles just right.

HOTEL MORPHILA ORCHESTER - Dead In The Head 7'' 1982

Hotel Morphila Orchester from Vienna was a 1978 born musicproject by the university professor and multimedia artist Peter Weibel. The other core members of the project where the artist Loys Egg and the musician Paul Braunsteiner, known from the legendary 60s & 70s "proto punk band" Novak's Kapelle. Further musicians where Franz Machek and Wolfgang Steiner. "In Vienna it was an ancient practice, that every hotel or cafe had its own orchestra. Since this practice doesn't exist anymore, we are named after a hotel that doesn't exist too." (digest of a press release by Peter Weibel). In 1981 they recorded their first 7'' Dead In The Head for Extraplatte, which is a good example for "punk meets art". Great two catchy punk songs and the lyrics are very provocative & honest and for me this band is one of the best Punkband from Austria.
