The Brockas are... and that’s the point where you stop, the
point where the futility of trying to break down with any
measure of sobriety becomes impossible as sober is the last
thing that comes to mind when you hear their freeform
psychedelia. Breaking down the gatekeepers, rebelling against
what you got, putting on a show right now. It’s Dadaist Punk
in its sense of mischief and how it feeds this disruptive
sense of never telling a straight story, not least being the
claim they make to a lineage that’s even funnier if you take
it seriously.
The Brockas, then, are a glorious mess of contradictions:
method and improv, structure and unstructure, atonal and
melodic, noise and beauty, joy and frenzy.
The post-world avant-noise free-blues power trio consists of
Bembol B. Brocka (Khavn), Headless Brocka (Lav Diaz), and
Akira Brocka (Roxlee). The Brockas have played in all the
seven continents and beyond, refusing to be confined to the
city limits of Berlin, Brisbane, Edinburgh,
Jihlava, Rotterdam, Thessaloniki, Singapore, Sharjah, and
Mondomanila in breaking conventions of space, time, and
reality.
