V/A : “Travel Sickness Pills: A Green Cookie compilation” (CD). This compilation is a gathering of our artists to celebrate Green Cookie’s 10 years of existence and our 30th release.
In January 2012 I was asked by all-girl garage band The Vinylators (Mexico) to contribute to three tracks for an EP called Ultrapsychovinylization to be released on Green Cookie. After a successful recording (during my 23rd trip to Mexico) the band asked me to join and appear live at a show with them doing It’s a Long Way Home and Trouble. So now I have a new international psycho-garage band called Bob Urh Y Las Vinylators. After 30 years of playing and releasing psycho-sonic-sounds-galore globally (34 releases since ‘82) there’s no reason to stop now. Especially with unreleased tracks oozing out of the vaults!! As well Bare Bones tracks for new LP titled “Haunted Hootenannies ‘N’ Hoedowns” and talk of a full LP for Bob Urh Y Las Vinylators.
SO KEEP YOUR PEEPERS ON ULTRAPRODUCTIONS & GREEN COOKIE RECORDS FOR TANTALIZING FEATS OF SONIC SURPRISE!

BIO
The band Dirty Fuse was formed in mid 2008 by guitarist Duda Victor (Bufalos d’agua) and drummer Chris Kogios in order to explore the frenzied world of Surf, Rock ‘n’ Roll and Garage. Having as its key composers Duda Victor and Costas F. (bass), the music is based on a solid Dick Dale-Ventures as it unfolds with its garage concerns.
In 2008-2009 the band strolls through Athens’ underground venues. The band’s first official release is in May 2009, with “Surf Lady” and various artists’ compilation: “Unsigned United”.
Suffering many lineup changes, but always as a trio (bass, guitar, and drums), Dirty Fuse records four tracks (Lost Riders, Look Around, Perfect Device and VU) with Panagiotis Kotsiopoulos on the bass. In 2010, the band expands adding Manos Kisamitakis (saxophone), John Drake (bass) and Kostas Bakoulas (guitar). On December 14th 2010 Lost Riders (7″ vinyl) is released.
From spring to autumn 2011 the band was in the studio recording 11 tracks for their first self titled full-length album under Green Cookie Records.
