Product description


Two Garagerock generations collide! Reverend Beat-Man, the Swiss one man band and king of Blues Trash meets Milan Slick, a true dark soul and Nick Cave (sorry, still with us)/Johnny Thunders reincarnation, to play Rock'n'Roll as fresh and vibrant, wild and dark as never played before. Reverend Beat-Man and Milan Slick met in 2020, amid the pandemic, while writing a soundtrack for Ana Lily Amirpour's vampire film "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night." They played in Paris at the renowned Super Sonic Records and at the legendary SO36 in Berlin. They then recorded an album with Beatrice Graf and Benjamin Glaus called "Reverend Beat-Man and the Underground." They produced this as part of the Rocklette PALP Festival, a soundtrack and a macabre dance party for the downfall of humanity. So next, the super primitive rock 'n' roll trash, hi-energy, lo-fi Reverend Beat-Man one-man-band and the sophisticated, clever, playful and dark Milan Slick and went to record their first mutual full length album in the former Züri West studio with Sebastian Zwahlen and the unique Robert Butler of Miracle Workers fame. Reverend Beat-Man is actually a one man band on a mission for blues trash and wild wild rock'n'roll Born in 1967 in Bern, Switzerland, in the summer of love and hate, on tour since 1992 first as Lightning Beat-Man then as Reverend Beat-Man one man band and with his band the Monsters, he played all over Europe, N + S America, Japan, Vietnam, New Zealand, Australia, Africa, CBGBs, Montreux Jazz, Muddy Roots etc. is the founder of Voodoo Rhythm Records (1992) If he were a politician, even his enemies would respect him (the federal government) He was nominated for the Swiss Music Prize in 2014 won the local music price as Most influential Musician in Bern (capital town of switzerland) and runs a record and curios shop in Bern. Milan Slick is a young singer-songwriter (born 2004) and still at the very beginning of his career, but has already worked with renowned artists such as Mario Batkovic or Birdman Jägg or his Own Band Fatigues In his music you can hear influences from Nick Cave to David Bowie, among others, but also that there is an idiosyncratic young voice emerging that we will hopefully hear a lot more of in the future
