AFRIRAMPO:
“Afri Rampo took the small stage dressed in micro stripper wear… Using electric guitar and a full scale drumset Afri Rampo relentlessly destroyed us. Each piece was a journey through hyper-irreality as the two musicians called and responded with vocals nailed with reverb. The playing went through passages of Boredoms style aggression, scratch-improv wildness and Sabbath groin-pummel. Anyone en route out of the club turned slowly and came back to see just what in the hell was happening. And what was happening was a new musical experience most of these very experienced individuals had never thought would happen again. But it did and this event became a celebration. Afri Rampo, demurely entering a jaded arena, ripped a whole new sonic slit into the fabric. At times the performance flamed so hot that it could only melt into a sex-scream lava flush. Both women injected proto-gorge guttural yowling into our already heavily ass-kicked psyche to the point of near-fucking-death…The next day they played again, as the promoter was so mind-scorched that he demanded they play every day he was alive. ” — Thurston Moore – Arthur Magazine
