KOONDA HOLAA AND THE BEETCHEES

Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees
try to remember:
a) Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees is an experienced rape victim that screams "fire" rather then help.
b) For the listener seeking that which will challenge them, to confront the vile beast that lurks in every human heart, Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees is the band to see. Are we not all as they are? Groveling in our own feces, ingesting our own urine as if it were lemonade?
c) Follow your feelings - the judge and the arrow around the world
d) Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees is a bisexual broken blood mean beat performance commando presenting the Icons of our time:
The Preacher, The Pervert, The Drug Addict, The Dreamer, The Recovered Drug Addict, The Pragmatic, The Stripper, The Cross-Dresser, The See-Through Jesus and The Bible Molesters.
Accompanied with soundtracks that may remind you of your last hour and leave you feeling somewhat alone, you will not like it or hate it -you will just remember - and that's more than enough for the butchers.
e) Find freedom away from entertainment pushed down your throat via downtown ex starkids that had just one too many Rolling Rock at their corporate meetings.
Cuntinued... MP3s:

Born in the late 60's in Czechoslovakia in what was soon to be one of the most polluted spots on earth, (Spin magazine, Dec.97 in "Exposure" referred to it as the Black Triangle, the largest polluted space in Europe) Kamilsky walked through his grandma's attic attached to a microphone and straight to music school at the age of five which spewed him out seven years later as an overtrained folk singer who spent his frustration on crafting protest songs. The certainly weren't the ones that changed the regime in 1989 by which Kamilsky was imprisoned for 2 years for destroying a public statue of the first communist leader.

In 1986 Kamilsky bacame a member of the notoriously known punk band F.P.B. which would go on to sell out two back-to-back monthly concerts (for 2000+ people) that were nevertheless completely illegal (they needed a permit from the government in order to even perform?!).

With the borders open in 1990 Kamilsky left the newly formed Czech Republic for Germany, first Nuremberg, then Munich where he formed "Illegal Immigration", an anarchist (free improv) musical commando that later evolved into Pseudo Pseudo, a two-man moon unit with little experience but unrepressed skills. The first record came in 1992 and was named "Boucher Voyager" as a dedication to the "traveling butchers of the so-called reality". This record was released in 1996 on Globus records, Czech Republic. In 1992 Kamilsky moved to Los Angeles and resided in California for the next three years. This brought him the pleasure of working from 1992-95 with some excellent assassins of mass mediocrity culture, namely Linda Sibio, Jim Cert, Lukas Ligeti, Exene Cervenka and Lydia Lunch, all of whom he has released material with.

Ironically Kamilsky developed his live skills in the studio (in 1994 as the front-of-the-house sound engineer at Spaceland, Los Angeles for Beck, That Dog, 1000 Mona Lisas, etc) doing production, post-production and soundtrack work for videos and theater including material released on Exene Cervenka's "Surface to Air Serpants" and Kamilsky's own collection of soundtracks entitled "Crippled Children Society". In 1995 Kamilsky and Tracy Reinstein, his then manager/wife, directed and composed for an 11 person orchestra, another Pseudo Pseudo production this time in the exile of San Francisco, releasing a live recording from Slim's entitled "In Winter Go South".

The same year Kamilsky's never dreamed wish came through and he was offered the opportunity to play bass for The Residents in 20 sold-out performances of "Freak Show Live", at Archa theater in Prague. By the end of the year Kamilsky joined the infamous Czech band and U.S. touring phenomenon Uz Jsme Doma and played bass in about 80 performances in 6 months all over Europe and the U.S.

In August 1996 he returned back to his hometown to form another version of Pseudo Pseudo and to work with his original home town boys Milan Novy and Radovan Nikita Boy (of F.P.B. and Pseudo Pseudo) for about 30 gigs and a single "Surrounded by Bulgarians" that was recorded and released in February 1997. In the following months he records live with Lydia Lunch in Palace Acropolis, Prague for "Matrikamantra" a double cd released October 1997 on Figurehead/Atavistic Records featuring Joe Budenholzer (Foetus, Backworld) as the composer and keyboard player and Kamilsky on bass, vocals and (very special) effects.

Kamilsky moved back to California in April 1997 to recuperate in Laguna Beach for 3 months (at the "Church of JOE") before moving to Orlando, home of Figurehead Records, to work on new material with Lydia Lunch for her upcoming tour. Challenging the cultural shocks by touring with Death in June (front of the house engineer) and spending the "mean" time recording the future with the talented always overseen people of Orlando in his own freshly open "Track Brack" studio.

Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees became Kamilsky's new vehicle After his full imigration to the US, sound engineer and musician Kamilsky began breathing life into the demented characters who abound in the lyrics of Koonda Holaa and the Beetchees. Koonda's debut, "Cocky Cuties" made a bold new exploration into sound, with multitudes of samples interplaying as a foundation for tales of the drug addict, the super-hero, the unemployed priest..all of whom see life through a paranoid kaleidoscope of worthless data. Armed with the self designed Track Brack mobile studio, Kamilsky, along with Czech comrades, descended into the bowels of the Starcraft. A hulking RV, which provided a mobile headquarters for band and studio, over the course of 16 months intensive touring. The Cocky Cuties live presentation was rooted in multimedia splendor as photo shop cropped pornography intermingled with full 5.1 Surround Sound. Continuing on his own, the projects self-proclaimed Captain Cunt, exiled himself to the Joshua Tree desert to find new inspiration. While enjoying the hospitality of Mr. Hutch on the Queens of the Stone Age compound, Kamilsky began developing his new repotoire and regrouping with Radon. The subsequent transformation conjured his latest persona, Jameel Abdul Kebab,who would shed the once dominant sampling, in favor of thundering, effect soaked percussion and cavernous, haunting vocals. The Starcraft would come to dock at 10 acres of 7000 ft elevation high desert land in the San Bernandino mountain range. This environment would prove fruitful to both work and his volatile sanity. Though off the tour/war path, this time was anything, but a vacation. A slew of high end production work for Track Brack would force Kamilsky to bear witness to the horrors of the Los Angeles entertainment industry, as he manned the mixing council at the Knitting Factory Hollywood, UCLAs Royce Hall and tv shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. The resulting recording, "Methods and Techniques of 21st Century Music", was the supreme culmination of these Hollywood-induced electro perversions.

While in Hollywood Kamilsky mixed and co-produced (together with Bob Belerue of half normal) the Bastard Noise/Sikhara recording which is patiently waiting in the masters bin to become legendary for its sonic voluptiousness and gourmet blend of
frequencies.

...and so the tale could have gone on and on about the great exploits of Kamilsky, but an even larger donkey drops under 100 loads of nothing.
SO The following story is about the breakdown...

While there was a many great encounters in the beginning of 2003 with the noise crowd in LA and there was the 3rd extended bonding session that kamilsky and Scott Nydegger from Radon went thru at the land in Burns canyon,there was the desert jams with Henry from Amps for Christ, Nelson from Bastard Noise and Berry from Aliens and thee ultimate way to say fuck you to the posers back in hollywood - USAISAMONSTER march 2003 recording which was entirely tracked,mixed and mastered between two trailers,honda generator and pro tools on the land miles away from the psychic vampires of LA, these were still very taxing times.

After loosing his van to the parking officers,almost loosing his dog to cancer and his mind to the ecxes stress caused by underpaid jobs,abstract bills and 2.5 hour long commute to LA, Kamilsky hears the calling of his homeland in the desert wind and sees a fat indian boy in his vision. This unreal situation is accompanied by warmongering and the real time casts from the bombing of IRAQ .It was time to go to his childhood bar back in his hometown to confer with the elders.Quick stop in Paris with joints in the subway and squat in the approprietly named part of town "villejuif", touch of hands with Ripit, Scott, and Samboat and then Kamilsky joyrode home after 6 years of selfimposed exile on an allnight bus line to Prague where not even all Pink Floyd's albums combined could destroy his glorious homecoming queen ceremony.

He spent the summer of 2003 in a circus trailer in the garden of his parents with his soundmentor Colin Steward recording silly songs and eating the sausages straight from the trees with his real viking lover. There in the garden, where carpet was munched on like it was a heavenly gulasch, Kamilsky comes back full circle and starts again playing guitar and his favorite childhood protestsongs. In July 2003 he travels to Poland to headline LUNa Palleta festival In Salesia and plays a "reunion for what?" show with Milan and Olda. After, family matters takes him to Orlando Florida again the Sad and Sobing songs of Kamilsky Wussopovich production was in full gear, carrying into April 2004 with a 7 weeks long tour all over the united states and some girl's t shirt. Touring in the faithfull green turbodiesel benz together with USAISAMONSTER, child sex abuse victim Corndog ,and pleasent likes of Eric and Marelyse of Vialka going from east coas,t to the west and back playing 40 shows including the quinessential Free Texas festival in Winston Salem.

In July 2004 he again played a host of shows in Poland and travels to Karpatia mountains to consult with an oracle. This trip finds its glorious ending in Portugal where he played to packed houses with Steve Mackay,Scott Nydegger and the local talents. After, Kamilsky went through three consecutive hurricanes in Orlando that summer, played with Radon Ensemble at WFMU and the Tonic (the recording of these shows is coming out on OBICO in Italy) and sat in with the Violent Femmes in October after 34 hours of straight driving from Orlando to Phoenix ,dumping his tranny girlfriend and sufferring the worst tour planning, car malfunctions and general indiference, until the long awaitted 2004 tour with Sikhara becomes impossible to attend . Kamilsky ends up stranded on the east coast and returns back to Orlando, narrowly escaping being killed by a redlight rider and just in time to get ready for the January 2005 tour with Vialka and Usaisamonster in Europe. The line of disasters didn't end there like we would like it... After missing the first week and half of the tour due to theft, unfinnished car repairs,and general indiference Kamilsky joined the tour in a 20 years old Skoda at the show in Poznan and then follows Usaisamonster and the everbalanced Vialka thru europe for another four weeks . Realizing that man earns anal sex - not deserves it- Kamilsky spent the rest of the year taking care of his financial affairs and going through old masters, dodging crazy Puerto Rican girlfriends and making shure the glass dont stay half full.

The year 2006 a 20 year anniversary of "what doesnt kill you- makes you stranger" is bringing many a fruits of odd passions both in the touring fields and with releases.
