Pissinboy “Emily” LP LZ098 - (Larsen Rdz) Pissinboy was originally Andrea Pirovano's solo project (guitar & vocals), and became a band in november 2007 when Tel (bass) and Graham Mushnik (drums) joined Piro. Based in Hackney, London, Pissinboy started up sounding quite dirty and low-fi, with elements of American folk, garage, British bored-punk... After being a duet for 2 years - the EP "Always Find You" only features Piro and Graham -, the band is now a 3-piece again with Juste Akiss on 2nd guitar. Integrating whiffs of 60's psychedelic pop and garage and to a rather British punk base, their first Long Player "Emily" is now released on the French independent label Larsen Recordz. ... think Ray Davies, Country Teasers, TVP's, Fall, Syd Barrett mixed with the great songwriting of Piro !     Various Artists “Tribute to Nathaniel Mayer” 14 garage shots of rhythm & soul ! volume5 LP LZ095 - (Larsen rdz) It’s finally out !

Their smashing hit “My brain is empty” came out this year on the sensational longplayer “Curlee Wurlee Likes Milk”. And this 7” presents the obligatory PIANO version of it (instead of organ), and is anchored in the good ol’ Kinks story-telling tradition: it could have been composed by Ray Davies in 1966, but it hasn't... instead, it was written by Cécile Musy (better known as Organella), and is a disillusioned hymn full of booze and macabre irony indeed. B-Side “You are on your own”, was written by Axel Oliveres (alias Teen Axel), and is a mod & Mersey beat influenced smasher, featuring an asskicking drums verse. It is limited to 500 exemplars only, so you gotta get that record in your collection before you regret it!       L'Orchidée d'Hawaï "Mondosaurus" LP LZ097 - (Larsen / Folkwelt Rdz) LARSEN et le jeune label FOLKWELT ont le plaisir de vous presenter “MONDOSORUS”, le 4eme album de l’ORCHIDEE D’HAWAI et le premier en format vinyl.
