BILLY BOYS - Cadillac
Lajaville revisited: The Billy Boys music is for the visionaries, imagists, symbolists, outsiders and lowbrow. It will survive all the trends. Its in the world but out of this world. Somehow futuristic yet primitive. Lajas eerie and nervous mumble is like a horror version of the late Vince Taylor locked up in a psych ward. This ultra minimalistic electrobilly is backed with a static, almost stoic, beat and its rumbling through the concrete jungle in a shiny black speedoplane heading for tomorrow-land in a silver neon rain. Theres messed up Elvis in his smoking hot blue jumpsuit munching away double cheese burgers with RC Cola. Theres tough looking ladies in latex uniforms and spike heels breathing heavily through their gasmasks. Theres former Finnish President Kekkonen. Bald head gleaming and hes receiving crazy visions behind his big square glasses. Trains, cadillacs, speed. Fingers tapping the leather bound steering wheel. Rural landscape and icy rivers. Nightmares in heat. Homeros would be proud. Tears in the eye of a lonesome man. Future now. - Makke Luojus / 2010AD. Never released, mid-80s solo recordings from Laja Aijala of Finnish hardcore legends Terveet Kadet, as well as Bad Vugums Leo Bugariloves. Weird homemade Suicide/minimal rockabilly electronics.
