KOONDA HOLAA
It's surprising that despite countless notable collaborations with thelikes of The Residents, Mike Watt and Steve Mackay, Exena Cervenka of X, Lydia Lunch, Amps for Christ, and USAisaMonster, the one-man band Koonda Holaa is still shrouded in relative obscurity amongst American audiences. But ask anyone who's seen him, and they usually have an insane/hilarious story to tell about this guy. His latest record, Ten Th...ousand Acres of the Finest Sand, on Italy's Bar La Muerte (Ovo) is a phenomenal addition to his songbook of desert noir psychedelic rock.

Imagine a shamanic chief of some cargo cult that's developed a
ritualistic fetish for Ennio Morricone, Krautrock, and Stoner Metal.
Touring Mongolia in 2012 riding a camel with no sherpa, not to be
missed.

HEADWAR
French quartet Headwar shreds through rock band archetypes with junk store horns and altered plastic toys to bring a unique and intense take on Skingraft records-style Noiserock, but through a more epic and dramatic approach. Listen for hints of early Swans and Einsturzende Neubauten coming through the gargling vocals and power tools clattering against guitar strings. Their songs operate less as hook-laiden tunes and more as invocations of a violent trance state.

JOHN MAKAY
The second of the French bands, John Makay may be more upbeat than their tour partners but no less impassioned. This guitar/drums two piece play mostly instrumental songs that hearken back to 90's post-rock but equally influenced by prog and jazz. This band has tremendous power and perform with an immense ferocity, love and sincerity for their music. They make it a point to declare they use no loops or samples in their live execution, priding themselves on athletic feat.

KOONDA HOLLAAAAAA

Koonda Hollaa is one of the most amazing bands/ dudes/ performers/ song writers I’ve ever seen in my entire life. This is not to be missed no matter what…you are a retard if you miss this.

I met this guy at a squat in Brussels Belgium where like 400 people lived. Insane place. He played his weirdo Czech/ Belgian/ French Cowboy Blues and made me a believer.

If you are on the fence between KVLT and this, go to this.

Even though KVLT will probably be cool, Cult of Youth are hyped up youngins who will be back again, and this may be your only chance to see Koonda Hollaa…

Also, this is the difference between hanging out at Skylab or at Skullys.

Highest possible recommendation for Koonda Hollaa.
