Play, Lose & Die
10" 33 RPM (SNATCH!031)
First full length by those wild south france Lofi-garage trash maniacs! Following their loved 45´s “ New Hope” and “If you wanna Play” on the singers Piero´s own PROFET RECORDS; “play, lose & die” is their most evil, dark and powerful approach. The MIGHTY GO-GO PLAYERS are the inbreed brother band of the FATALS, sharing two members and with Perpignon the same home city. Frontman Piero Go-Go Man is the freako to see on the stage and it takes one live performance to see he´s the no.1 rocknroll bad ass of..now! No doubt about that. He´s a weirdo-destructo-maestro! With his remarkable desparate voice, the furious fucked farfisa and the insane song structure this record is getting quite a experience, yet listenable since this the best songwriting to date. Think druged-out SEXAREENOS, art-damaged MURDER CITY DEVILS based on FATALS-fuzz going IN THE RED on a deathcult sex-war. Pure evil. Live over Europe the December 2005. Get the lim. 98 version on red vinyl, mailorder only.(D.B.AlienSnatch!)

Play, Lose ... and Die!(snatch!031)
Nach den 2 grandiosen 7"s auf den französischen Labels NASTY und PROFET ist die Band um PIERO "Superstar" GO-GO MAN, der ja für sämtliche Spitzenproduktionen der letzten 2 Jahren aus Frankreich verantwortlich war, mittlerweile fest bei den FATALS am Bass ist, nun von ALIEN SNATCH unter Vertrag genommen worden. Diese 10" zeigt allen Neo-Garage Langweilern was in Zukunft die wahre neue Meßlatte für diese Art von Musik ist. Vorangetrieben durch den zum äußersten entschlossenen Gesang und der wütend sowie upgefuckt klingenden Farfisa-Orgel gibt es hier 7 Knaller, die in ihren wahnsinnigen Songstrukturen einmalig sind und die gestörte Persönlichkeit des Frontmanns perfekt wiederspiegeln. Diese läßt sich wohl mit der des LYRES Frontmann und Paradewahnsinnigen JEFF CONOLLY am besten vergleichen. Das kurze "No Way At All" ist ein heftiger und überdrehter Opener, der im Vergleich zum üblichen Garage Tempo locker mit 45RPM angegeben werden kann. "Goin'On" lässt sich als sehr treibend und druckvoll bezeichnen, welches zudem mit einer unglaublichen Intensität glänzt und von der Atmosphäre an die MURDER CITY DEVILS erinnert, bevor mit dem etwas ruhigeren " Well Well" die A-Seite beendet wird. "It Could Be Higher In The Country" lautet der furiose Auftakt der B-Seite beim dem das letzte aus der alten Farfisa-Orgel herausgeholt wird. Das folgende "Not Too Bad" stellt den eigentlichen Hit der 10" dar, ist DJ-tauglich und dürfte jeder Tanzmeute mächtig einheizen. Diese Nummer zeigt erneut das musikalische Genie des Frontmanns auf, wie auch das folgende "You Got To Crawl On My Soul", bevor nach einer kurzen Ruhephase mit der nur knapp einminütigen und fast schon als brutal zu bezeichnenden Hasstirade "Bitchy Cow" Schluß ist. Wie immer bei diesem Label ist die 10" sehr schön verpackt und ein hervorragender Abschluß zum sehr guten Veröffentlichungsjahr des Labels.(C)

The Mighty Go-Go Players – Play, Lose And Die
(Alien Snatch Records)
The French and Italian guys have a distinct way of churning out their 60s inspired surf/beat/punk with a bent lo-fi trash-rock. I don’t know why. The Go-Go Players sound and approach bring to mind bands like The Uninvited and The Hermits, both from Italy and the Players’ countrymen the Squares, from France. On this 10”, their first long player, the quartet have added a creepy Farfisa organ to the grandeur, which they build the songs around, along with some pretty lively drumming, such as on the opening track No Way At All and the following Goin’ On. Well, Well is a moody Boots-like ballad, but they speed things up again on side 2 and prove that the freaky shit-tag they come with, was earned the hard way on It Could Be Higher and Not Too Bad. You Got To Crawl On My Soul is another slow Beguiled-like monster of a song and just like the Fatals, whom the Players share two members with, this happy marriage of fuzz, reverb and desperately trying to have some fucked up fun, is made in heaven if you like your R’n’R with one foot in the garbage can and the other one in the grave.

Terminal Boredom
Mighty Go Go Players "If You Wanna Play…" 7"
Its official: France just might be the new Japan. Seriously, the amount of killer French bands coming out of seemingly nowhere is starting to show signs that France circa 2004 just might be this decade's equivalent to the pre-Chloroform Japan scene. Okay that might be a bit of hyperbole, but when I listen to a record as great as this, it just feels right (italics) to compare the 2004 French explosion to the halcyon days of Nippon punk. To continue the thread of asinine comparisons, the Mighty Go Go Players are the Registrators to the Fatals' Teengenerate. They've got the same killer filthy yet furious production as their now infamous label mates, which only makes sense as their singer Piero Go Go Man is the knob twiddler responsible for the Fatals' trademark sound. That's about as far as the similarities go however, as the Go Go Players are even more crazed and frantic than, well, just about any active unit I can think of at the moment. This single is a whirlwind of sonic destruction built on equal parts 60's garage riffs, punk rock aggression, and organ-powered art-damaged freakouts. If the early Piranhas recorded a single full of DMZ covers I reckon it wouldn't sound too dissimilar to this. Okay, if the above descriptions are too half-baked and oblique for you, let's break it down to simple arithmetic: completely insane + totally catchy + super original + desperately miniscule print run = 100% essential.(SS)(scum stats: 300 copies)

Mighty Go Go Players -If You Wanna Play... - 7"
Piano-laden bullshit. just kidding, boys! The second round from the PLAYERS and they're tighter than a cow's ass in fly season! "Get It Over" is a fucking heart-stopper that I can't imagine partying without. Good'n dirty SEXAREENOS-style debauchery that'll get anybody's blood pumpin' and heart poundin' within seconds. Another classic, (edition of 300)Nasty Product for that nasty ass of yours. I'd say it's a Filthy French Fried Farfisa Fuck Fantasy.(Lou)

MIGHTY GO-GO PLAYERS If You Wanna Play...2004 7"
Die zweite 7" des französischen Vierers aus dem FATALS Umfeld, die erneut besten Garage Rock'n'Roll mit leichtem 60s Touch bietet. Der total durchgeknallte Chef der Band, PIERO aka GOGOMAN am Gesang und Orgel, läuft bei dem 4 Nummern wieder zu absoluter Höchstform auf, und bearbeitet sein Instrument wie ein Berzerker. Für das Cover zeigt sich der Parade-Weirdo dann inmitten seiner Band in bester Hündchen-Pose. Limitiert auf 300.

Profet Record
Dis-Organ-eyezed rock n’ roll soul explosion. The Might Go-Go Players play with a more frantic and chaotic bent than contemporaries. Garage traditionalists and new enthusiasts alike should enjoy this one. “Get it Over” and “She Got it Too” are my favorite tracks.(MG)

Mighty Go Go Players "New Hope" 7"EP
More primo vinyl from France, this from the same camp that gave us those killer Fatals and Toxic Farmers singles last month (I think they may share some members, and the sicko who recorded the Fatals single is in the Go Go Players and also recorded these songs). Go Go Players are a three piece who play super-trashy garage pounders (three of them here) in the same vein as the previously mentioned Fatals, except not as shit-ass crazy (but almost as good). A little bit more traditional, in a Mummies/Dutchmen kinda way, but even trashier. "Suck My Fun" possesses not only a great title, but great music to go along with it. The B-Side contains a twangy little surf-like number that lulls you into submission before turning into a wall-of-fuzz freakout that'll have you reaching for the volume knob immediately. Recommended and probably really hard to find. (RK)

Mighty Go Go Players "New Hope" 7"EP
Great Debut single from the French gang of rock'n'trashers who gave us the also mighty Fatals 7". The Go-go Players feature Piero (also known as the Go-Go Man) who recorded the Fatals, on guitar and vocals. Pretty damn cool stuff. It's got that same no-fi hi-quality sound as the Fatals however this is more rock'n'roll and less noise. Think more garage but in no way retro or boring in any way. Great shit.. The Rolling Stones meet the Beguiled in Johnny Thunders-land..maybe…

Dig It !
Mighty Go Go Players "New Hope" 7"
Les caves perpignanaises vomissent toujours leur lie, voyez The Mighty Go-Go Players par exemple. Leur 45t trois titres est une terrifiante attaque frontale de rock'n'roll lo-fi entre garage punk ("Suck My Fun"), 60's psychotique (Fallin' With you, In Love With YOu "), et mid-tempo lysergique ("Sugar 69").C'est Piero Go-Go Man, le chanteur guitariste du groupe , qui s'est chargé de la prod, il etait deja responsable du premier 45t des Fatals. ATTENTION, Cet homme est dangereux.(Lo.s)

Mighty Go Go Players -New Hope- 7"
Wow. This is another hot ball o' fire, straight outta left field and breathing the same fire as the FATALS, but with more emphasis on the melody and less wall of noise. It looks like the French are kicking our fucking ASSES again. "Suck My Fun" is just one of the best song titles, and it just keeps getting better as the songs rolls on. Even some nasty slide guitar, all just add to the mystery. I'm sure this will get overlooked just by the name, but seriously, if you're down for some brutally delicious rock'n roll, bury your face in this, NOW!(Rod)
