Sampul Album Cadas Monumental: MOTÖRHEAD

Ekspatriat asal Amerika, Joe Petagno, mengenal Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister ketika Joe dipekerjakan oleh band space-rock legendaris Inggris, Hawkwind. Begitu kenal, satu sama lain langsung klik. Klop. Cocok."We immediately got along like a house on fire---or better yet, a city"Kata Joe kepada majalah Revolver via e-mail. Lemmy lalu bilang bahwa bandnya, Bastard, butuh logo yang in-your-face dan frontal merefleksikan outlaw biker Amerika. Joe---setelah melalui riset yang butuh konsentrasi penuh (thanks to Jack Daniels)---akhirnya menyodorkan imej yang di kemudian hari ultra populer mulai dari wilayah Rock hingga fashion: Snaggletooth.

Rilis: September 1977
Kreator: Joe Petagno

“We immediately got along like a house on fire—or better yet, a city”

Kata Joe kepada majalah Revolver via e-mail. Lemmy lalu bilang bahwa bandnya, Bastard, butuh logo yang in-your-face dan frontal merefleksikan outlaw biker Amerika. Joe—setelah melalui riset yang butuh konsentrasi penuh (thanks to Jack Daniels)—akhirnya menyodorkan imej yang di kemudian hari ultra populer mulai dari wilayah Rock hingga fashion: Snaggletooth.

Sebelum muncul dengan ide brilian tadi, Joe sejak awal sudah punya bayangan hendak memakai simbol tengkorak serta terpikir untuk melakukan sedikit improvisasi pada logo Hells Angels. Namun di tengah perjalanan pria kelahiran Portland, Oregon, ini merombak sedikit idenya lalu mencampursari antara tengkorak gorilla, anjing, juga serigala; ditambahkan dengan taring babi hutan, pula aksesori pelengkap macam rantai, spike, dsb. Lemmy—yang saat itu telah mengganti nama kelompoknya menjadi Motörhead—girang kesenangan. Pihak label, Chiswick Records, menganggap logo ini terlalu dekat dengan aroma kekerasan. Sementara Joe, meringis kerja keras merubah font dari “Bastard” menjadi “Motörhead”…

Sir Dandy: Satria Bengal Bergitar

ã»Versi Bahasa Indonesia silakan klik di siniThe frontman of loud, noisy, anarchistic band Teenage Death Star, Sir Dandy Harrington, has made another brave move, publishing a solo album called Lesson # 1. What makes this so brave is the fact that Sir Dandy has known to play guitar for only three years. Sir Dandy has said that the creation of the album, which was released through Organic Records and produced by Widi Puradiredja, was like passing a national exam after three years of study. Offering "Jakarta Motor City" as his first formal single, on the heels of the free-for-download "Juara Dunia", all the compositions on Lesson #1 are folk-based. The lyrics are blunt, spontaneous, in-your-face, funny, urban, simple, light, and a bit nihilistic. Sir Dandy is not worried about his singing. He says that even his voice is sometimes discordant, at least he's brutally honest and original. For further online info about Sir Dandy go check www.theone-management.com
