THE EXBATS (US) + PAINTED AIR (HH)
Komet Musik Bar, Hamburg
THE EXBATS
Not to be confused with The Shaggs, or The Osmonds (Partridge Family is okay) We, The Exbats, started with a daughter (Inez) and father (Kenny) listening to lots and lots of records and writing songs. We got lucky and caught the ear of desert recording guru, Matt Rendon (The Resonars, and as of 2021, the fourth Exbat!) and we put out our first tape in 2017. In 2019 we hit the jackpot again attracting Bobby Carleson Jr. on bass. Our latest record for Goner Records is the hyper-catchy sunshine-pop inspired Now Where Were We. It’s our favorite set of songs yet. We have evolved to the point where we are basically oblivious to modern recording trends, but the lyrics do a decent job reflecting very modern concerns. We live in Bisbee, Arizona. It’s way down in the south-east corner of the state by the Mexico border. It’s a sweet little arty hippy town. Come say hi! -inez and kenny mclain. The Exbats are Inez, Kenny, Bobby and Matt. And they are all a little worried but enjoy making songs.
PAINTED AIR
Painted Air from Hamburg-St. Pauli in Germany is hailing around since 1990 and thus, just attained full age. Before getting that fuzz-tanked-organ-driven sound, Painted Air started as a typical 60s garage punk combo and in-between flirted with 60s psych and krautrock. Over the years they shared stages with some of the most legendary bands around, like Dead Moon, The Fuzztones, The Cynics, Sick Rose and The Strange Flowers. Danish frontman Martin’s prominent voice is Painted Air’s trademark.
Painted Air gets its influences through the other members though: 60s specialist Tripsi on drums gives the essential beat while Fuzzomazz’ (who writes most of the songs) punkrock heart pukes raw sounds, balanced by Olli’s melodic bass themes. Painted Air was joined in 2008 by French organ goddess Organella (Curlee Wurlee!), whose saturated Vox organ finished to polish the sound of their brandnew album “Come on 69”. She was recently replaced by Czerno from the band “Rock’n’Roll Hotel”, who makes the sound even more evil!
“Come on 69” was recorded analogue and under live conditions in April and June 2008, and mixed in December 2008 by Dennis Rux (Trashmonkeys) at Hörwerk Studio near Bremen, and will be released by Green Cookie Records from Greece.
Members: Martin Brujah (vocals); Czerno (organ); Tripsi (drums); Olli Engel (bass); Fuzzomazz (guitar)

Thanks to Curieously for finding this charming, colorful, 1914 cottage in Bisbee, Arizona. 3bds, 2ba, $425K. The home was painted by a local artist and the furnishings can be purchased separately.
So, if you buy the furnishings, the house is turn-key. The living room is cute, but I don't know if I like the high windows and being unable to see outside.
Love the kitchen. How colorful and adorable is this? And, it's big, too.
Look at the sweet original cabinet and pantry.
The primary bedroom is so colorful and cozy.
Look at the artwork. Such a cheery little house. And, there's a walk-in closet, also.
And, it has a colorful en-suite bath with lots of color. The bowl sink is beautiful, it looks like a sunburst.
The 2nd bedroom is so cute, too.
What a lovely dining area.
The 2nd bathroom has a beautiful tile shower.
The 3rd bedroom is also very pretty. The vintage linens in this home are wonderful.
A pretty path leads to the backyard.
There's a large deck in the back decorated so colorfully with a lovely shade tree on each side.
A small grassy area has a fun bench swing on the tree.
