Welcome to another Monday and another glance back at the week past. As predicted, there was very little time to HiVe. We hope to have more this week. And we think we just might. We listened to great albums though. But all news and all that pales in comparison to the sad news that came in on Tuesday. Ozzy Zig went off to have his great gig… In the sky… Only two weeks after his final show. And then. The following day, the news came George Kooymans passed away the same day. Ozzy and his Black Sabbath instrumental to all the heavy rock and metal that followed. George and his Golden Earring for every rock band from the Netherlands. So, yes, naturally, we spun a lot of Sabbath and Earring after that. But the above list also features new music, just out or soon to be released. Like the new Bask, The Hives, Stoned Jesus and Cosmic Reaper… And we dig’m all! So, get ready for those new ones and check out all listed above!

Les Mazoetans – Merry Christmas From Hanoi

 

 

Les Mazoetans – Merry Christmas From Hanoi
Self-released / Forbidden Place Records / Sounds Haarlem Likes Vinyl – 2025
Rock, Garage, Surf, Noise, Punk, Blues
Rated: ***

After hearing the second track Explosion Man I immediately started longing for the day that Les Mazoetans would be on tour with the Del-Toros and the Sha-La-Lees! What a wild night that would be! You never heard of Les Mazoetans you say?! Well, that might be entirely logical, for it is yet another brand new, project by Jeroen Ligter, Pieter Holkenborg and Xavier Teerling. Names you might know from other bands they play in together or apart from each other. Namedropping a handful will surely ring a bell or two, so how about Geishas of Doom, Atlanta, Automatic Sam, Kintsugi Empire and Suit And Tie Johns. There are many more of course, but if you know any or all of those bands, you will immediately know what kind of rock music is in store for you. This time however they turn their garage into even more of the trashcan variation and infuse it with more surf oriented guitar work. Distorted noisy vocals and mouth harp weirdness turn a few moments into something The Stooges could have produced. And there’s a lot of that ramshackle attitude that Jon Spencer Blues Explosion is known for. Cause there’s blues there as well, the growling, the stomping kind. The kind that only a wild man can deliver, completely feral and baring teeth. Is Merry Christmas From Hanoi your new favorite album? If you like the seemingly chaotic and the true underground spirit, then absolutely! And otherwise, the twenty minutes this highly colorful punk whirlwind lasts, will still surely rev you up, weird you out and get all kinds of longings surging through your body… Wild nights and twisted adventures lie in wait…

Good morning! Even though we only had a bit more time available for Stoner HiVe the past week, it did feel somewhat productive. A Quick Fire Friday segments of course helps with that feeling! But we also had time to jot down words about Thunder Volt, Phantom Druid, Fuzz Thrower, Desert Witch, Ponddigger, Polymerase and Aceves. Must hear albums one and all! Just like those twenty featured on the Doom Charts Peroration for June 2025. This week it will be hard, I got three grueling days of rent paying work ahead of me and then a possible thing abroad. So, let’s see how much time will be left to have some HiVe fun… Have a great week everyone!
