Monster Klub en interview dans le fanzine des Reims City Rockers: "LA FAUTE A QUI ?" N°9

here's a new review by cole from " punk music reviews:

Little to my knowledge, France's Monster Klub has been quietly producing addictive horrorpunk psychobilly tunes for a little over ten years.  But only after signing to globally distributed psychobilly giant Raucous Records for their forth album Not Dead Yet have I have the pleasure of running across this firmly established act.

While I was initially underwhelmed after sampling a few tracks, a complete runthrough reveals a psychobilly band with good control over the genre.  Monster Klub essentially sounds like a more traditionally influenced version of Germany's Bloodsucking Zombies from Outter Space.  The band keeps their style simple, and rather than incorporate punk-rock or metal influences, Monster Klub plays a classic 80's style psychobilly with a dash of country.  Their lead vocalist, singularly referred to as "paskal," has a thick French accent distorted by a deep throaty growl, making for an unearthly vocal delivery.  Further like the Bloodsucking Zombies, Monster Klub playfully sings about ghouls, zombies, and the undead.  But to their benefit, their songs and melodies are never dark enough to turn the casual listener off, but also not goofy enough for die hard horrorpunk fans to completely disregard. 

The band keeps a certain horror movie essence, reminiscent of bad b-movies and horror classics.  Simply skimming the track list reveals playful track names including "Zombie Dance Klub," "Gore Star," and (my personal favourite), "Godzilla can't Surf."  Some songs even throw in a few stock horror movie sounds.  For example, "Billy's Last Run" adds a subtle chainsaw buzz during the final bridge, and in the surf inspired instrumental "Godzilla can't Surf" the band sprinkles in a few of Godzilla's unmistakable cries.  Thankfully the band guides their songs through their own instruments, only drawing upon sound-bites as tasteful flourishes.

Monster Klub plays at a frantic pace across the entire album, only slowing down for the pair of haunting acoustic tracks "The Witches Hill" and "Voodoo Barbeque."  Fittingly, the album opens with the instrumental introduction "Crash (intro)," finishing 16 tracks later with its conclusive counterpart, "Crash (outro)."  The continuation of the intro track frames Not Dead Yet as an album with all the intensity and danger of a fatal car chase - an effect successfully sustained by the band's furious guitars and thickly strummed upright double bass. 

Simply put, Not Dead Yet is one hell of a ride.


GO PSYCHO

"Not Dead Yet!"
Raucous Rcds | 16 titres | 2008 | Psychobilly

Critique : Excellent album! Au début, le départ d'Éric (basse) laissait présager le pire pour le trio d'Horror-School Psychobilly. Mais il semble bien que l'arrivée de Seb (ex-ASTRO-ZOMBIES et ex-VOODOO DEVILS) et de sa contrebasse ait en fait reboosté le groupe. Les compositions de PaSKaL, sa voix hargneuse et ses mélodies une nouvelle fois originales font mouche à chaque fois, et la batterie d'Arno est comme à l'habitude impeccable.
Bref, des mélodies qui restent longtemps à l'esprit après l'écoute (comme "MADE IN HELL" ou encore "GORE STAR"), un son très personnel et bien maîtrisé, et beaucoup de hargne: du grand art!

BAT ATTACK MAGAZINE :
http://www.batattackmagazine.com/

Nunca he sido muy fan de este grupo frances, y he de reconocer que me han soprendido con este nuevo trabajo, su pasión por Meteors es mas que latente en cada uno de sus trabajos, y aqui se reconfirma su adoración por Pablito Fenech. El cd está compuesto por dieciseis cortes con intro y outro incluidas. Las canciones siguen con la temática habitual, monstruos, terror y danzas macabras, y el sonido del disco es apoteosico con un buen trabajo de producción. Todos los temas tienen su aquel, pero sin duda me quedo con "Not dead yet!", "Gore star", "Good Kat", "Godzilla can..t surf", "Rock and roll thunder", y "Made in hell" sin duda es su mejor trabajo, si te gusta Meteors, te van a encantar.

---------------------------------------------------------------

RAUCOUS RECORDS:
The Monster Klub play straight ahead Psychobilly as it should be played. It's hard rockin' horror-themed Psycho-Rockabilly - pulsating rhythms, slappin' bass, searing guitar and ghoulish lyrics. You won't find the heavy Punk Rock and Thrash Metal influences that other bands have brought into the genre - just no-nonesense Monster Klub style Psychobilly stomp. The fantastic fourth studio album from one of the European scene's best bands.

PUNK RAWK MAGAZINE:
Ça démarre sur les vrombissements d'une moto et ça part en burnout avec Not dead yet, un constat sur la bonne santé de Monster Klub après dix années de bagarres et cinq albums. Ces seizes nouvelles chansons, sous-titrées Song of Love, death and revenge ont permes au trio français de séduire le label anglais raucous records. Les trois musiciens surnomment leur mixture le Horror School Psychobilly. Entre les Meteors, les stray cats et mad Sin, le trio s'enivre d'histoires de zombies, de monstres étranges, de gore salissant, de tueurs en série, pour une danse remuante au potentiel indéniablement international. On comprend alors mieux l'engouement que suscite Monster Klub en dehors de nos frontieres.

here's the lyrics from our new album "Not Dead yet"

NOT DEAD YET

THE NIGHT IS COLD BUT MY BLOOD
IS STILL BOILING IN MY VEINS
NO DRINK NO FOOD, NO MATTER
CAUSE THE ANGER FEED MY BRAIN
I WILL NOT FORGET ALL WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME
I WON'T FORGIVE YOU AND ALL THIS MISERY

HATE ME, HURT ME, BURN ME, FREEZE ME BUT
DON'T BURY ME I'M NOT DEAD YET
DON'T BURY ME I'M NOT DEAD…YET

MY BONES ARE BROKEN BUT I WON'T
STAY AWAY FROM YOU TOO LONG
MY HEART IS STILL PUNDING IN MY CHEST
AND THE MOONLIGHT MAKES ME STRONG
NOW I AM AWAKE AND THERE'S NOTHING TO STOP ME
I WILL BE YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE, YOU WILL SEE

HATE ME, HURT ME, BURN ME, FREEZE ME BUT
DON'T BURY ME I'M NOT DEAD YET
DON'T BURY ME I'M NOT DEAD…YET

YOU BROKE MY BODY BUT YOU WON'T
LOCK UP ME UNDER THE GROUND
YOU SHOULD BETTER LOOK BEHIND YOUR BACK
CAUSE TONIGHT I'LL BE AROUND
I REMEMBER THE SOUND AND I WILL NOT FORGET THE PAIN
AND I'LL KEEP THE BULLET ALWAYS IN MY BRAIN

HATE ME, HURT ME, BURN ME, FREEZE ME BUT
DON'T BURY ME I'M NOT DEAD YET
DON'T BURY ME I'M NOT DEAD…YET

PARANOID

MY GIRLFRIEND TRIED TO KILL ME AGAIN
SHE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW BUTCHER KNIFE
BUT YOU KNOW SHE'S A FUCKIN VEGAN
SHE BOUGHT THIS JUST TO TAKE MY LIFE

PARANOID

MY NEIGHBOURG IS NOT FROM THIS WORLD
OH NO HE'S NOT LIKE ME AND YOU

WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
EVERYBODY HATES ME

MY MOTHER WANTS TO TAKE MY BRAIN
SHE WANTS TO BE INSIDE MY MIND

I'VE GOT NO PLACE FOR YOU
IN THIS WILD SIDE OF MY MIND

I AM NOT A GOOD KAT FOR YOU

I AM AN ANIMAL
BUT NOT THE KIND YOU WILL LIKE
AND I YOU WANT TO CATCH ME
YOU WON'T WIN WITHOUT A FIGHT
MAYBE YOU WILL CARESS ME
MAYBE I'LL LET YOU DO
BUT I DON'T THINK YOU WILL LOVE
WHAT I REALLY WANT FROM YOU

I AM NOT A GOOD KAT FOR YOU

AND I YOU'RE MAD ENOUGH
YOU CAN FOLLOW ME IN THE DARK
AND IF YOU'RE GOOD ENOUGH
OH YOU COULD BE MY DELIGHT
BUT DON'T TRY TO LOCK UP ME
IN A CAGE OF GOLD OR STEEL
I'LL NEVER BE YOUR SWEETYKAT
MY FANGS ARE MADE TO KILL

I AM NOT A GOOD KAT FOR YOU

VOODOO BARBECUE

SOMETHING STRANGE IS HAPPENING IN MY GARDEN
A SMELL OF BURNING MEAT IS IN THE AIR
AN HYPNOTIC RYTHM I NEVER LISTENED
LIKE A BIG SNAKE CREEPING IN MY BRAIN

TELL ME WHY THIS GIRL IS DANCING AROUND ME LIKE THAT
AND THIS THING SHE HAVE IN HER HAND COULD IT BE MY HEART?

A TALL GUY TELL ME WORDS I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HE'S GOT A DEAD CHICKEN AROUND THE NECK
I'VE GOT A STRANGE FEELING I CANNOT EXPLAIN
LIKE A POOR SAILOR BEFORE A WRECK

I KNOW WHY THIS GIRL IS DANCING AROUND ME LIKE THAT
AND THIS THING SHE HAVE IN HER HAND, SURE THIS IS MY HEART

VOODOO BARBECUE

ROCK'N ROLL THUNDER

DARK CLOUDS ARE BACK AGAIN
THE SKY IS RED ABOVE ME
NOW I'M READY TO GO
ANOTHER PLACE TO SEE
THERE'S A FIRE IN MY MIND
THAT I CANNOT CONTROL
IT'S BURNING IN MY HEART
AND SEARCHING FOR MY SOUL

I LIVE IN A ROCK'N ROLL THUNDER
FASTER THAN A DEADLY HURRICANE
I LIVE IN A ROCK'N ROLL THUNDER
NOW THE LIGHTNING IS BURNING MY BRAIN...AGAIN

SIX HUNDRED DEVILS
SCREAMING LOUD OUTSIDE
THEY SAID ' C ' MON BOY
READY FOR ARIDE ,
T'M IN A BLACK TORNADO
AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO
OH BABY WAIT ME
AT THE DAWN I'LL BACK TO YOU

I LIVE IN A ROCK'N ROLL THUNDER
FASTER THAN A DEADLY HURRICANE
I LIVE IN A ROCK'N ROLL THUNDER
NOW THE LIGHTNING IS BURNING MY BRAIN...AGAIN

IF YOU THINK I'M TOO OLD
OH MAYBE YOU ARE RIGHT
SOMETIMES IN THE MORNING
I THINK I'LL STOP THE FIGHT
BUT IN THE NIGHT
WHAN THE STORM IS CALLING ME
I KNOW THERE'S NOWHERE ELSE
WHERE I WANT TO BE

THE WITCHES HILL

SOMETHING IS SCREAMING THROUGH THE BLACKWOODS ON THE HILL
THREE UNDEAD WOMEN WHO HAVE MADE A DEVIL'S DEAL
THEY LOST THEIR HUMANITY FOR A PAIR OF LEATHER WINGS
THESE BITCHES ARE EVIL, IT'S THE REASON WHY I SING

DON'T GO ON THE WITCHES HILL
DON'T GO ON THE WI....TCHES HILL


LISTEN TO THIS STORY, OH IT'S NOT A FAIRY TALE
THREE LITTLE GIRLS AND ONE LOVER FROM HELL
THEY KILLED AND KILLED FOR HIM, AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
THREE SOULS FOR THE DEVIL AND FOR THE SISTERS, THE PAIN

DON'T GO ON THE WITCHES HILL
DON'T GO ON THE WI....TCHES HILL

OH PLEASE BELIEVE, STAY AT HOME WITH YOUR CHILD
THE HILL IS DARK LIKE HELL AND THE WIND IS GOING WILD
THIS IS NOT YOUR HOUR, DON'T WALK OUTSIDE TONIGHT
CAUSE THERE'S THREE LITTLE HARPIES
AND THEY NEED SOMETHING TO BITE

DON'T GO ON THE WITCHES HILL
DON'T GO ON THE WI....TCHES HILL

NICE DAY FOR A SLAUGHTER

TRAPPED LIKE A RAT IN A BIG WHITE CAGE
THEY GIVE ME THE LIFE BUT ALSO THIS FUCKING RAGE
BORN IN THIS LAB THEY TEACH ME HOW TO FIGHT
NOW THE DOOR IS BROKEN I ALMOST COULD SEE THE LIGHT

WHAT A NICE DAY...
NICE DAY FOR A SLAUGHTER

I KNOW WHAT I AM AND WHAT I'LL NEVER BE
DON'T BELIEVE THESE DOCTORS, THEY'RE NOT MY FAMILY
I'M A WAR MACHINE STRICTLY BUILD TO KILL
INSTEAD OF BLOOD AND BONES THERE JUST OIL AND STEEL

WHAT A NICE DAY...
NICE DAY FOR A SLAUGHTER

"R.I.P. SPIDER ROCKET

Bonjour à Tous
Ludovic Joffrain alias SPIDER ROCKET a quitté la terre pour rejoindre les Space Cow-Boys, sa vraie famille.
Il avait fait les beaux jours de CROSSROADS, il y a quelques années par ses articles toujours pertinents et fort bien écrits. Il a toujours défendu avec archarnement une certaine idée du rock, du punk rock, du garage sixties, du surf et du rockabilly par une plume acérée et sans concession. Il avait donc, fait découvrir aux lecteurs de Crossroads des artistes qu'ils auraient eu du mal à dénicher autrement.
En plus d'un réel talent d'écriture, c'était un excellent illustrateur à qui l'on doit entre autre la pochette du dernier album d'Eddie and the Hot Rods et le logo de Kat Spirit Promo.
Il venait de commencer une carrière de tatoueur qu'il n'a malheureusement pas eu le temps de mener à son terme.
Nous ne pouvons que lui souhaiter un bon voyage intersidéral et rencontrer enfin Johnny Thunders, Sid Vicious ou Elvis.
RIP"
