News: Tales of Grandpa Guru, Vol.1 release party

Fri, 07 Sep 2012 00:00:00 -0800

We are happy to announce that after running wild around Europe for the last couple of months, Guru is back in Seatown, resting, meditating and licking his battle wounds.

We'll be happy to show to home audience what their european counterparts have seen and already know- Grandpa knows his shit, he delivers better than ever and has more to say than a republican pundit.

So, let's celebrate in October- at Seattle's Chop Suey on the 5th and Bellingham's The Shakedown on the 6th. Looking forward to see all you in the American Pacific Northwest!

bulgaria. black sea. stormy family eve...the sounds of zafir hadzimanov and waves crashing. saso, nika, and paris prepare pasta and salad. wine, laughter and loving conversations. a much needed respite after a slew of bizarre and challenging encounters.

val places the dishes in the dishwasher. the ladies will sleep in a bunkbed. we contemplate the makings of a new song -

"it's naturally in 7/8's."

"i feel it in 6."

"ya ya, that's good!"

saturday, we play the spirit of burgas festival. you'll find us on the stage sponsored by a tenesse whiskey. some call it, "artvertising." we are not that some.

bring it!

Press: Kultur Shock record review

Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 -0800

“Kultur Shock are the very model of a multi-cultural punk rock band…some of it wouldn’t sound out of place at your local kebab shop, but it’s the sort of thing that would upset our WOMAD friends because it isn’t ‘pure’ or ‘authentic’ enough..” Metal Hammer 2004 - Metal Hammer

“I’d compare Kultur Shock to crunk, which gets party music out of similarly doleful minor-key melodies, has the same undertone of Euro-Eastern menace, and is fronted by similar blowhardiness and rah-rah.” Village Voice - Village Voice

“It’s System of a Down finally consumed by their folkisms; it’s a Romany campfire gathering where gypsies turn amps up to 11. It’s six languages spilling over rock, hip-hop, samba, balladry and punk. But most of all, it will rock your world” Kerrang! (4star review) - Kerrang!

News: Our new record Ministry of Kultur is out on March 1st.
