Kultur Shock @ Global

Friday night we went to this place called Global just next to Sgt. Hans Torv. It's venue for world music and that night they had the US band Kultur Shock on the bill. Opening band was local J S Fuck and the Hippies From Hell. God damn cool name for a band. The music was a strange mix of mostly punk, but with elements of strange stuff like wah-wah solos, growl and funky garage rhytms. Actually the one guitarist is Cristian Olesen and the drummer is Troels Drasbech from the great band The New Artless Creatures. The main man Sune Køter is sharply dressed in white shirt and red tie and their logo is very "nazi" like. They had some really cool visuals and a great performance. Actually the venue was pretty cool with a high cieling and therefore lots of space for visuals behind the stage. Only problem was lack of atmosphere and a pretty annoing women in the door - and the beers were too expensive for a place like this. Anyway, the mainliners this evening was Kultur Shock and although they spell Kultur the danish way they are from Seattle. The style was balkan-punk and even though they had great energy and enegetic pulsating rhytmns I found them pretty boring half way throug the set. So I left! But hey, they are a cool band if you dig that kind of music. Kultur Shock J S Fuck ... The New Artless Creatures Global
