live: THE ROYAL FLARES // THE RECALLS (Berlin)
music by: Martin Hemmel // Dr. Dr. Robert

The Royal Flares are dedicated to the raw, wild, frantic and driving sound of 60s garage rock'n'roll as epitomized by the legendary \'Back From The Grave\' series. Drumsticks flying through the room, the Farfisa organ grinding the sole off your shoes, the singer snarling and screaming out his anger, angst and longing, the bass like a heavy maelstrom underneath and guitars like rusty blades slashing through mountains of fuzz and twang. It's raw, it's wild, it's pulsating with the blood of original rock'n'roll. Welcome to the Stone Age!

The Recalls is the name of the Chilean-Spanish paisley underground from Berlin and Stuttgart that has dedicated itself to the sixties. However, the band has sent the classic beat to the garage to give it its own touch, which still has enough spring reverb and fuzz for people who want to dance. Live, the Recalls have a garage-punk vibe and the smart guys get everything out of their vintage equipment.
