R.M.F.C. & Support Do 11.09 live at Goldener Salon
Be there!!!
R.M.F.C. (AUS)
R.M.F.C. (or Rock Music Fan Club) is the bedroom recording project of New South Wales teen Buz Clatworthy. This fits nicely alongside any of the recent spate of releases from fellow NWI-worshiping Aussies, like Satanic Togas, Research Reactor Corp, Disco Junk, Gee Tee, etc. What sets R.M.F.C. apart from those other bands is the willingness to slow things down a bit. While there are plenty of the lightning-fast tracks that you’ve probably come to expect from this lot, songs like “Television” and “Mirror” creep by in comparison and really allow you the time to appreciate the odd mix of influences the band is working with.
ROCK MUSIC FIGHT CRINGE
What is modern music writing without the opening descriptor “long awaited”? To describe most
records as being awaited is ridiculous. Nobody today has the patience to wait for a text or a
tram or a traffic light… and yet… there is something here, I have a point to make…
Please resist cringe – I will not cringe, cringe is the mindkiller – I assure you, I never use words
like “long awaited debut” in polite conversation and avoid those who do by general rule.
But.
ROCK MUSIC FINESSE CLASS
The imminent arrival of the R.M.F.C. long awaited debut means rules must be broken, tablets
must be shattered, sacred pigs must be slaughtered…
In our age of media saturation and attention deficit, where every band has side project with a
triple LP catalogue before they’ve played a show or had opportunity to tease or tantalise, there’s
a lot of easy music being created… and forgotten… look back over the past decade and see
how many hype bands you’ve forgotten, how many redundant “long awaited debut” ended up
ashen within a month. Nobody is waiting for more easy music. We are waiting for the R.M.F.C.
Club Hits LP.
Anyone paying attention to underground Australian guitar overdose would relate: the R.M.F.C.
Club Hits LP has been the culmination of five years of work, patience and discipline. If you’ve
heard these songs live at any of their shows over the past couple of years you’ll understand –
the wait is over and the result is exhilarating.
ROCK MUSIC FANATIC CONVULSIONS
To your average German the sound of Bach made them reverent with Lutheran frenzy, and for
the average rock music fan the sound of R.M.F.C. makes them catatonic with guitar overdose.
To your exceptional German composer that came after Bach, the sounds of Bach inspired
genius invention, and for the generation of exceptional rock music creators that come to Club
Hits, a great deal of easy listening rock music has become redundant and this is a new
standard: the craft of these songs is precise, the flow of this record is masterful.
Club Hits is one of those rare records that sounds absolutely of its time without evoking
depression, despair and disgust – for we live in times of desperation that most rock music bands
are adorning with insipid, tedious tunes that couldn’t make most people put their phone down let
alone believe in R.M.
– but with the benefit of 80 years of ROCK MUSIC to draw on, there’s a lot
of mistakes that Buz learned from and hasn’t replicated here.
