Nojohoda
Released 1st February '99,
This is the 2nd single to be released by this band, on first look at
the cover you'd
wonder what illegal substances they've been on. And if you even bothered
to put it in the cd player you'd be a little confused at what type of music
they are trying to play, some sort of electro punk with a bit of tribal
grunting thrown in for good measure, but for a band with the motto 'Freedom
to Freak' you should expect this.
The band themselves, made up of Milo , older brother Leo, Oliver and
Robbie first appeared on TV on the channel 5 show, 'Not Melinda's Night
In', to promote their new single, on guitars and vocals was Milo sporting
a cowboys outfit, Leo was the freak in this little show, being made up
as one of those wrestlers with shiny cloaks, dodgy masks and vest, Robbie
the Bassist looked a little out of place in his leather'n'chains style
outfit, and Oliver the Drummer sulked because they didn't have a good costume
for him.
If you'd like to hear something a little different from the norm, then
this band can produce
it, although they do tend to break out into kazoo solo during fast
punk-style songs, like
'Pinata' their previous single.
The single is available in cd and 12" vinyl, with the track listing,
Nojahoda, Nojahoda (Jabba The Cut Mix) and Moments with Wu, which is a
prank call to the Wu Tang Clan's chambers, could have had some more original
b-sides but all in all, I'd say if you can get this single for £2
then buy it, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
Nojahoda are currently supporting Silverchair in a one-off gig in London,
and their album
'Jahoda's Witness' already recorded, is due to be released in early
'99.
