Trash Rock Archives present... Schnitzelbeat Vol. 3. An insight into the final convulsions of the roaring '60s, guiding you through the throes of the upcoming '70s. In the alpine banana republic of Austria in the '60s, the city of Vienna blissfully dozes in the stale air of the postwar era. Occasionally the sound of an accordion or a yodel from the countryside is brought in by the old-fashioned breeze. The initiated listeners of the Schnitzelbeat series, however, already suspect it: there was something else, something wild, outrageous. A booming fist punch in the smug faces of the petty bourgeois. But who would have guessed that the most impressive approach to the proto-punk of Blue Cheer or the MC5 would be issued on a conservative folk music label named Alpenton? (Albatross, "I Am Dead"). You can already hear the lederhosen hunting party scream in agony. And the mindless yelp of wild enthusiasm escaping the throats of open-minded Beat afficionados. The Seals also prove to be worthy fighters in the generation conflict. "You know nothing about the new generation/ because you live in the subway station": a surprising insight the young psycho punks from Vienna reveal in their number "Stop this War". And war is a common theme elsewhere, too: World War Two (The Cop Stigh, "War History"); the Vietnam War (Maybe Hair, "War"). On the other hand -- what would the age of the hippies and communards be without free love, flower arrangements and substance-induced states of perception? Manufactured boy group share the public's interest in love and so do The V-Rangers ("Make Love"). And the four members of Salzburg based Beat outfit Les Marquis, who bring a love-stoned California dream to life on the beaches of the Salzkammergut ("Sand on the Shore"). Schnitzelbeat Vol. 3 adds numerous fascinating chapters to the forgotten early history of Austrian rock music. Join Al Bird Sputnik and the labels Konkord and Digatone on another dive into the shimmering depths of dusty record crates. Follow them on a psychedelic pilgrimage to the place where the mountains are made of ice cream, with deadly nightshades doted on their slopes. Until you completely got lost in the faraway regions of vintage Austrian pop culture. Also features Novaks Kapelle, Charles Ryders Corporation, Expiration, Rocky F. Holicke, The Beatniks, Jack Grunsky, Les Sabres, The Hush, and Generation 2000.
