RONNIE URINI - Child Of Sunrise-Creature Of The Moon 7'' 1985

Ronnie Urini is an Austrian musician, composer and song writer. His first band, Vogue where he was the drummer, took the Sixties revival and Britpop in Austria in advance. Since 1978 he plays in a lot of alternative and underground bands (including Kleenex Aktiv, Willi Warma, Ronnie Urini & the Last Poets, Ronnie Urini & Venus). He interprets his own songs again and again re-used in popular English-language hits like "Summer Wine". His performances are often wild and known that it entered into direct contact with the audience, to supplies them with heated word duels. Ronnie Urini is one of the exceptional characters of the Austrian alternative & punk scene, and his records are nowadays often much sought and highly expensive. Here are two songs, one in german the other in english, which moved more into rock or what we called today alternativ with a little touch of gothic atmosphere (especially the b-side is a lovely ballad). I add the 'Black Light, Black Cities' 7inch with in. All quite charmin' & nice.

RONNIE URINI - Sail, Ship 7'' 1986

An old friend in this blog is Mr. multi-talented Ronnie Urini, Austrian sub-culture icon. The list of his publications is endless and his numerous band projects as well. Search for more examples and you'll discover lots of different stuff. This rare record was released on Sparkling Records and is a pretty chanson which should be enjoy in a romantic escapade with a glass of wine. The B side is the instrumental version. Once again, a small jewel from Ronnie which occurs day and night with large optical Ray-Ban Sunglasses and has built a myth around his figure by the indissoluble mixture of truth and fiction.

KLEENEX AKTIV - Weisse Rosen 7'' 1982

Kleenex Aktiv was a follow-up of the legendary punk heroes Dirt Shit from Vienna. The original bandmembers from 1981 where Rolli Rostig (vox), Billy Nutella (guitar), Harry Müller (Bass) and Ronnie Urini (drums). The Band was the best sounding pogo punk band until 1982/83 when they changed to New Wave/Pop, a result of the cooperation with a major label. The fast and faster drums of Ronnie and the massiv guitar & bass of Rolli & Harry sounded like an explosion in the heart of Vienna. Their concerts where legendary, but they never found a way to record a song in a studio that met the expectations. In 1982 they recorded this 7'' on Panza-Platte Records which is not really bad and shows how great they're potential are. In 1985 the band broke after a lousy second 7'' called "Hilfe" which is a bit too poppy, not bad but not comparable to this one. Check them on Es Chaos Is Die Botschaft! and Heimat Bist Du Großer Söhne and the mega three record compilation De Guade Oide Zeit.

V/A - Planet Punk #4 2005

Second and last part of Planet Punk and with Volume 3, this little self-made series is already complete. H2D#26 is another tidbit full of rare stars from international bands that are still kicking ass, much in demand and popular in our fucking disillusioned times which bring little decent music to light in my opinion. Music is like inventions, there is nothing innovative that can really impress me, hardly any wow factor or thing that I can really admire. And I would say that for almost twenty years. Speaking of music, we all hear & see the so called "combos" thrown together, the TV shows which offer only shit and are played over and over by radio stations, all this crap is boring, repetitive and only geared towards profit, commercial shit and really sucks. It's really intoxicating to get acquainted with such music as on this further fantastic compilation and to eke out an existence far away from this dead & dull society. That are the words for Sunday, Amen! Enjoy the vibes of the good ole days!

DIRT SHIT - Rattenloch EP 1979

Dirt Shit stands in the first row of austrian punk bands. Born in 1978, with Robert "Räudig" of Chuzpe who left after one or two live shows, was this band maybe the most complete punk package that was (perhaps forever!?) available in the country of the lovely "Wiener Sängerknaben". At the peak of Dirt Shit, that was Roli "Rostig" Übereuter, Berni "Bedenklich" (questionable) Tragut, Michi "Monoton" and Ronnie "Urini" Iraschek, they could cause a pogo orgy whenever they charged the stage. The songs where fast, the guitars where dirty and the vocals where catchy and violent. Michi had never sung the same lyrics, and improvised at every show, which worked until he was done on stage. In 1979 they could have had an appearance in an austrian b-movie "Exit-Nur keine Panik" [Exit-Don't Panic]. But they where knocked out because of a quarrel with the producer(s), althought the songs for the movie where already recorded. After a threat to sue by the band, the movie team gave them money to cut the four songs on 7'' vinyl (limited to 500 pieces). They only played a few gigs in Vienna and one in 1980 in Linz. The members were also active in other early Austrian punk and new wave bands (Mordbuben AG, Kleenex Aktiv and others). Drugs and alcohol resulted in the end of this band.

RPB - Sacre Coeur 7'' 1981

R.P.B. (Rock'N'Poetry Band) with his mastermind Rudolf Paul Barcal was an anti product of the new wave era in Vienna. Rudi left "austrias first" punk band Chuzpe in fall 1979 after the Wiener Blutrausch compilation and stayed for three months in the USA. When he came back to Vienna, he founded his own band, unimpressed by new wave and the upcomming bands, with the intention to combine rock and poetry. He was followed by Christian Brandl (also a Chuzpe member), Franky Frauenhofer, Günther Holtschik and jack-of-all-trades Ronnie Urini (Dirt Shit, Kleenex Aktiv, etc...). According to a survey only 15% of the rock music fans listen to the lyrics, the headbanging rest doesn't mind. So Rudi tried to find demanding lyrics from poets that where not so popular, to combine it with rock and to arouse the interrest for the words. 

In 1981 RPB produced their first 7Inch with a little bit different studio lineup, including Ernst Czettel & Michi Egger. The self composed song Sacre Coeur just missed the top ten of the Austrian charts. The flipside Tenebrae is a poem by Paul Celan, translated by Michael Hamburger, and was also released on the followed tape, next to rock versions of poems by Robert Frost, May Swenson, Emily Dickinson and another self composed song "Jean Paul". They gave concerts in Vienna and from Linz to Fischamend. In 1982 the line-up changed, next Rudi there now was Roland Plotz, Ernst Czettel, Michi Egger & Stefan Pfeistlinger. They recorded a rare second 7" in 1982, a strange instrumental rock/pop record. Rudi later was seen with Mordbuben AG, Bella Bella, and Schlechte Verlierer (source: luziprakrecords)

V/A - Kellerrock Razzz EP 1980

Not quite as fresh and already dusty comes this rare piece from Austria with I think with bands from Vienna. All four songs here quite exclusive and again comes from the Alpine country not really '77 punk. 2 in german, 2 in english, but in detail: Chuzpe rock decently with their cool organ sound, a skillful guitar solo and a snotty voice fits perfectly, a good begin, next Zytacore..... starts as a ballad and after 90 seconds the song takes a decisive direction, the pace goes into stompin' and the use of a sax is not bad at all, their only public release maybe. A cool song, no more and no less. Side B starts with The Vogue, the band with Ronnie Urini, and with distance the best track here, great psychedelic garage punkrock with great speed, solid guitar playing = YES! here comes the end 60s beat generation up. Finally, the Underground Corpses with their inclined version of the Cure's 'Subway Song' in five minutes, excellent. A beautiful EP and I think one of the better releases from Austria.

VOGUE - A Doll Spits Cubes 1981

Early Vienna psychedelic band around Gary Danner and Ronnie Urini - legend status. The Vogue is a truly legendary Austrian underground band, which were founded in Vienna in 1978 and they exist until 1982. From it's famous rare debut album "A Doll Spits Cubes" were pressed just 300 copies and because of a dispute, the album was scrapped, obtain a few copies on the collectors' market leading prices. The album was pressed with two exchanged numbers again and is now a cult. Here we have now fourteen songs and they're all great, a 60's spirit sound, trashy guitars and sometimes I think the production is quite thin but I think it was intentional and gave the whole album a brilliant flavor. I'm not much fan of the psychedelic style but this album is really top. Check for yourself!
