about

This album has been recorded at the Yeah Yeah Yeah Studio in Hamburg during September 2014.

We used a Tascam 388 Tape Recorder as used on the early recordings from the Black Keys or the White Stripes .

The recordings were done Live at one weekend and the mixing at another one . We barely used overdubs . This is real , no tricks or fake .

This is what the New York Wannabes are all about .

Review aus dem neuen OX # 121:
NEW YORK WANNABES - Read my Soul
Sollte Robert Johnson, der "King of the Delta-Blues" anno 1931 tatsächlich seine Seele an den Teufel verkauft haben, dann dürften Sue und Lucky aus dem weniger berüchtigen Darmstadt-Delta angesichts ihrer verruchten Leberkoma-Trash-Blues-Punk-Zimmerei bereits seit einigen Jahren eine beschauliche Ein-Zimmer-Butze direkt am Kugelgrill des Leibhaftigen bewohnen, wo sie sowohl regelmäßigen Besuch von Greg Cartwright mitsamt der ganzen OBLIVIANS/COMPULSIVE GAMBLERS-Bande als auch vom zugedröhnten Mick Collins mit seinen GORIES erhalten, wenn ihre Nachbarn Poison Ivy und Lux Interior mal wieder zum Knabbern an unterarmgroßen Smell-Of-Female-Barbecue-Rippchen und Cajun Style gewürzten BANTAM ROOSTER-Hähnchenschenkeln laden, deren Duft unvermeidlich Labels wie Estrus, Crypt und In The Red in Erinnerung rufen muss und im Goner Records Shop sicher für eine Saalrunde Schwarzgebrannten sorgt. (Dirk Klotzbach / 8 von 10 Punkten)

New York Wannabes
Der gute Herr Zappa hatte schon Recht - über Musik zu schreiben ist wie zu Architektur zu tanzen. Das bestätigt sich auch beim Versuch, den Wahnsinn treffend zu beschreiben, den die New York Wannabes in Minimalbesetzung mit Schlagzeug, Gitarre und Stimme in ihren Stücken bündeln. Unweigerlich kommt einem natürlich der Blues in den Sinn. Und wir sprechen hier nicht von den Zumutungen, die sich der gemeine Clapton-Fan im Familien-Kombi am Weg zum Thermenwochenende reinzieht, sondern von brodelnden Juke Joints im Mississippi Delta als alkohol- und exzessgetränkter Wiege der Rockmusik. Aus deren Holz schließlich auch weltmeisterlich dilettierende Rabauken wie die Stooges oder die Cramps bis heute unerreichte Großtaten der Kleinformatkomposition geschnitzt haben. Zieht man durch diese musikhistorisch bedeutsamen Eckpunkte eine Linie, liegen darauf als leuchtender Fixpunkt auch irgendwo die New York Wannabes. Kompromisslos-energetische, bluesgetränkte, noisige Rockmusik, wie sie auf keiner Musikschule gelehrt wird. Solche Musik spielt man nur, wenn man seine Seele dem Teufel überantwortet – möglichst an einer gottverlassenen Straßenkreuzung im Nirgendwo. Schwerste Empfehlung!

Michael Madsen – Wien Delta Punks

Certainly Mister Zappa was right – writing about music is like dancing about architecture. This comes to mind even more so when trying to find words for the madness the NEW YORK WANNABES unleash in their songs with minimal instrumentation – just drums, guitar and voice. Inevitably the Blues come to mind, but we’re not talking about the aberrations your garden variety Clapton fan listens to in his family car on his weekend off.
We’re talking steamy juke joints in the Mississippi delta, the cradle of rock music, soaked in alcohol and excess. We’re talking about the same stuff world class dilettante rockers like THE STOOGES or THE CRAMPS, OBLIVIANS and GORIES carved their truly adventurous and unique musical miniatures from. If you were to draw a line in music history linking all those points, somewhere along that line you would come acoss THE NEW YORK WANNABES. Theirs is an uncompromisingly energetic Blues-drenched noisy rock you can’t learn in music school. The kind of music you get to play only when you hand over your soul to the devil – preferably at a desolate crossroads in the middle of nowhere. Heavily recommended!

Lux and Ivy. For the love of Ivy. Sue and Lucky.

For the love of Lucky. Or the other way round?
Doesn't matter. The couple at the heart of The Cramps had a mission: straightforward and passionate music. The same applies to the couple that is the New York Wannabes. I'm saying this because with the authority of someone who has witnessed the noisy couple's intensity
and passionate show and spirit ... more
