OK… they might not change the world with their 80’s / 90’s indie sound but it does sound fresh for India. Thank God, at long last, no progressive jazz rock funk or serious sitar music for once. We’re just working out how to get them released on vinyl (no surprise there!)
Have a listen to: Ready Set Go and Escape Trick (enjoy the presenter!)

North Korea never ceases to surprise. Kim Jong-un‘s ex girlfriend Hyon Song-Wol the singer with the Unhasu Orchestra somewhat embarrassed the current leadership with a purported sex video ( although it’s also been revealed that members of the orchestra had also been caught with bibles in their possession) which meant she and other band members were summarily machine gunned to death their familes sent off to prison camps along with anybody who actually witnessed the executions. This for a woman who’d been the president’s former lover and the singer of such dittos as “Footsteps of The Soldiers” and “We are Troops of the Party” Here she is singing the bizarrely titled “Girl In The Saddle Of A Steed” The whole affair has brought back this 1977 Top Of The Pops performance.
This is the purportedly pornographic video of Hyon Song Wol which was uploaded to Chinese video host Youku. The video isn’t really a sex tape, but just a dance routine dance set to Elvis Presley’s “Aloha Oe.”

Special Report by Metal Postcards Rec‘s Sean Hockings
Here’s the story from our Metal Postcard correspondent on the ground in Shanghai. Obviously we can’t and won’t name the correspondent but it appears that the Shanghai authorities have decided that “western musicians” might be spreading subversive ideas or just encouraging people to listen to and do something a little different and this is the result. Luckily the Hong Kong music scene is so apathetic that there’s no worries here that the police will deal with them .. bands would only feel threatened if someone took their beer away !
If you’d like to investigate further and communicate directly with our person on the ground please email to metalpostcard@mail.com and we will forward you to our correspondent. Here’s his story. Continue reading
