Who needs Prozac? – 4th Feb 2005

new artists

limited express (has gone?)

the experience of seeing limited express (has gone?) can not be compared to anything that the united states has to offer. the japanese have a unique flavour to their rock that i always find inspiring. bursting with a feel-good energy in even the most discordant of arrangements, on stage and in studio, the band is a true treat for the music lovers of any planet. who needs prozac?” erik carter/kork agency

stalwart

pori vets jyrki laiho (ex-circle), janne peltomäki (ex-circle) and veli nuorsaari (kuusumun profeetta) formed stalwart late last year, from the ashes of their previous band, the industrial-leaning paine. ….sweet psych-vortex…..guttural lumberjack lurch…..elegantly hurls forth compression-hammer rhythms, ecstatic fretboard abuse and acidic, stop-start riffs forged in indie art-drone-metal utopia.“jordan n. mamone/time out new york

Music is our manna – 12th Feb 2004

15th Mar 2025 – I taught myself a little web design with DreamWeaver when I probably should have been working at my paying job. The lack of any ‘real’ work to do for about 5 years was a great impetus for getting tenzenmen together as a record label, tour promoter and all-around money-losing supporter of musicians of a like mind from around the world.
