Hey my names Meme the Jester and this is the logo for my new folkpunk band 'Dog Nonsense'. I'm going to begin recording my album 'Puppy Girls Rule the World' on monday at the studio with my friends help, and I am so excited to finally be able to share my album with everyone! I've been working on perfecting this album over the last months as well as performing at some open mics and busking on the street. My music releases on my instagram is @dognonsense. If you want to follow my journey of my photography of the punk scene, patches, and art on @yvrpatches.
So prepare for some punk ukulele music about: doggirls destroying golf courses, building a train system across the world so all the gays can get railed, being a polyamorus dyke and getting all the girls with my autistic charm, the evil wolf deep inside you, silly stoner songs, the homeroticism of sewing patches with someone, and a song about avoiding your responsibilities because fuck THAT! And lots more songs about emotions and feelings! I have about 14 songs so its a packed album.
An extremely fucking powerful record. This thing has high emotionally violent highs and slow beautifully orchestrated moments of incredibly touching sadness. It’s an experimental post punk record so a lot of the production and instrumentation is super noisey and no wave esc with atonal and rhythmic soundscapes that are modified into post punk sounding riffs. The vocals on top of that are extremely well performed. An extremely solid first record from a band I’ll absolutely have my eyes on. I could see a real like album of the year / decade coming from this group. Really well done and great sound.
“I was taking pictures of everything around me, among them Debbie ... I was always aware of her astonishing looks and the effect she had on people.” - chris stein (me, blondie and the advent of punk)
Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders), Pauline Black (Selecter), Debbie Harry (Blondie), Poly Styrene (X-Ray Spex), Viv Albertine (The Slits), and Siouxsie Sioux (Siouxsie & the Banshees), London, 1980
It's a paranoid disco-punk epic with shades of ELO, David Bowie, Late of the Pier, of Montreal, and Siouxsie and the Banshees (?)(not sure on that one). I hope you love it as much as I loved making this one 💖
