SIMPLE AND RAW PUNKROCK
Tonight hardcore lovers can warm the cockles of their rockhearts in the Northern cellar of MH, because the American punkgroup Out Cold will play along with the Icelandic bands Mínus (with Bibbi Curver) and Dogdaze. Out Cold was founded 12 years ago and is probably very experienced. Two of its members have played with no less famous punkrockers than G.G.Allin and Anal Cunt. The group hails from the small town of Dracut, near Boston and has been faithful to "real" hardcore rock since it began playing, that is they play simple and raw punkrock. The band has released five albums, the latest one "Will Attack If Provoked" was released this month. Members have come and gone but its members today are Mark Sheehan (guitar, singing), Micah Smaldone (lead-guitar), Jay Toothaker (bass) and John Evicci (drums).
NOT A BAD IDEA
The newspaper's hardcore expert talked to John Evicci, the bands drummer. The first question was the classical "Why Iceland?". It emerges that the bassplayer has good connections here. "We were going to England anyway", John says. "We thought it wasn't a bad idea to stop here on the way. We try to visit new places." John says he doesn't know much about Iceland but is happy that the hardcore scene is blooming here. "There is not much going on in our town and we don't play much around here. We aren't that popular anyway. Our emphasis is on releasing records and tour. We have gone twice to Europe and one to Japan." John says that the hardcore scene is Japan is going great guns and that there are many great groups there. He adds that the financing of these tours is not always easy. "It varies greatly. The first tour was paid for by a record company. We paid half of the cost of the next tour. In Japan we paid everything." John says that all the band's members work fulltime as well as playing in the band but they would not hesistate to become full time musicians if they could. "It is love of music which motivates us, we don't get rich doing this. But it would be great if we could live on music; that would be brilliant." The cellar will open at 21 o'clock and the price of admission is 500 kr.
