Track 1 is a collaboration with Volker Regner and Anna-Lisa Schulig called “Come Along With Me”,
a moody, atmospheric piece that lyrically emotes the joy and euphoria
of a new love affair, while at the same time hinting at the melancholic
ending to come.
Track 2 is a cover version of “Blindest Love” by Roland Popp and Raindogs. Here, we can see the euphoria of first love continuing, even while the narrator knows that his lady love is cheating on him. Phil’s version of this classic indie pop song will be included on the Raindogs compilation CD, CÃES DANADOS, which has been getting substantial radio play in Portugal. Growing ever darker, the EP continues with an atmospheric version of “Caroline Says II” from the Lou Reed album Berlin. Here, masochistic and obsessive love degenerates into physical violence, with the classic opening lines: Caroline Says / As she gets up off the floor / Why is it that you beat me / It isn’t any fun. The track sees Phil making his debut on drums, as well as playing acoustic and electric guitars, bass and keyboards. The final track, “Road Of No Return” features the incredible drumming of Jarda Kvasnička from Southern Cross and sees Phil making a rare foray into socio-political commentary – the first time, in fact, that he has done this since Khmer Rouge folded in 1986. The lyrics are non-specific, and the conflicts alluded to could be anywhere in the world. The atrocities carried out could be by any terrorist group or army of any nation or region. The point is to recognize that the world is gradually being enveloped by regional conflicts that are spreading into ever-wider confrontations, fuelled by monetary, religious, ethnic and territorial disputes. In effect, it’s like World War Three happening in slow motion. The song bemoans the brutality and lack of compassion on all sides. But probably it’s been like this ever since the human race crawled out of the primordial swamp. Genghis Khan wasn’t a very compassionate guy either… |

screenplay by the Slovak writer Peter Krištůfek, and Phil plays the
part of a burned-out UK rocker called Johnny Stormwell. If you

last Friday evening, you can now link directly to the ČT archive and
watch the concert in full: https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/14132341007-forever-kral-koncertni-pocta-ivanu-kralovi/ The concert took place last September 12th on the Fountain Stage at Výstaviště, Prague, and Phil was invited to sing "Pumping For Jill", the song that Ivan co-wrote with Iggy Pop. Phil was backed by some fantastic musicians, including guitarist Honza Ponocný, who was also musical director of the event. Other participants who sang Ivan's songs included: Lenka Dusilová, Petr Fiala, David Koller, James Harries, Michal Hrůza, Aneta Langerová, Cirkus Ponorka,Tonya Graves, Ivan Hlas and Saša Langošová.

Ivan's widow Cindy Hudson was a special guest at the event, and was also interviewed by Czech Television. Cirkus Ponorka started the concert, and Phil played second, just over five minutes into the Event. |

The
Prague-based American author and journalist Thor Garcia has written a
fantastic retrospective review of the1995 "Live In Prague" CD by Phil
Shoenfelt with Tichá Dohoda - he says it's one of his favourite CDs!
It's just been posted on Goodreads - check it out, it's a BRILLIANT and perceptive piece of rock criticism, a literary masterpiece in its own right! Furthermore, Phil provided two new writings for the website: I Will Be Your Mirror - The Cosmos As Great Narcissist Beeing On The Beat - Liner notes for the forthcoming Moloko + compilation CD Phil Shoenfelt & Southern Cross update:
"Due to the Covid/quarantine situation at the Czech-German border, Berliners Kristof Hahn and Chris Hughes will not be at Rock Cafe on Thursday 01.10.2020. The show will go ahead as planned with Phil Shoenfelt & Southern Cross, but will start at the earlier time of 7:30 due to the legally enforced closing time of 10:00. One hundred seated people (wearing face masks) can be accomodated in the concert hall while staying within the government-imposed regulations. PS & SC will be playing several new songs from Phil's latest CD "Cassandra Lied". No matter how many people attend, we intend to have fun and project an upbeat and life-affirming energy to counteract the widespread fear many people are feeling at the moment. KEEP ROCK AND ROLL LIVE AND ALIVE!" |

In case you're wondering,
here is an update to let you know what's going on with gigs lately. Needless to
say, it's all a bit chaotic because of the Covid situation. Whether you believe it's bullshit or not, the fact is that since last Wednesday several countries have designated Czech Republic as a "Covid Hot Zone". Phil had driven to Berlin on Monday 7/9 to practice with Dim Locator for concerts at Fluc in Vienna and the UniMoon Festival in Prague. Luckily, he was already in Berlin when the German Foreign Ministry put Prague in the "red zone". Therefore, he avoided having to go into quarantine for several days. The problem the band faced was that if they played the UniMoon Festival in Prague, the Berlin members (Chris Hughes, Baron Anastis and Daniel Plashues, plus special guest Kristof Hahn of Swans) would have had to get PCR tests before returning to Berlin and go into quarantine for several days until they got the results. This they could not afford to do. Therefore, the band decided to drive to Vienna via Leipzig, Regensburg and Passau, avoiding Czech Republic entirely. This meant a drive of 940 Kms for one concert in Vienna, but it was a fantastic concert anyway! Thanks to Peter Nachtnebel at Fluc and the wonderful Viennese audience! On Friday the Berliners drove back to Berlin via Passau, again avoiding Czech Republic, while Phil re-entered the country via Znojmo and played the UniMoon festival on Saturday night with Band Of Heysek from Brno backing him. Another fantastic concert, and many thanks to Lukáš, Bob and Honza for helping out at the last minute. They are a GREAT band, you should check them out. As for the Southern Cross gig at Rock Cafe on October 1st - as of now, the concert is going ahead. But it is doubtful if Kristof Hahn and Chris Hughes will make it, due to the aforementioned Covid/quarantine problems at the German-Czech border. We will keep you posted on this. But as of now the concert with Southern Cross at Rock Cafe is going ahead, with or without Chris and Kristof. KEEP ROCK MUSIC LIVE AND TO HELL WITH ALL THOSE POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS WHO WANT TO KILL THE SCENE UNDER THE GUISE OF "PROTECTING" US FROM COVID!!! |

ENRICO "ENNI" HAGEN
PS & SC announce with great sadness the death from cancer of our dear friend and promoter Enrico “Enni” Hagen, who passed away in Dresden on the 23rd of June. Enni was a lifelong music fan, an old-school maverick with a rock and roll heart, who also happened to be a fantastic promoter – both independently and through his beloved club “Skullcrusher”. We have great memories of playing there with Sigue Sigue Sputnik a few years ago, and he also promoted excellent concerts at other Dresden clubs, such as Alte Feuerwache and Tante Ju. The “New York Night” concerts he promoted for PS & SC, New York Junk, Deadbeat Poets and Lorraine Leckie in 2012 and 2013 were exceptional. Enni was out of the promoting business for a while due to ill health, but made a triumphant return in November 2018 with two Phil Shoenfelt solo concerts at Alte Feuerwache and Red Rooster, both of which were sold out. As well as being a talented and caring promoter, Enni looked like a wild rock and roller himself. But he was also a gentleman with old school manners who respected the people he worked with. His love and enthusiasm for rock music transmitted itself to everyone he met, and his passing will leave an unfillable void, not only in the Dresden music scene for which he did so much, but also in the hearts of his devastated friends and admirers. We send our condolences to all Enni’s friends and colleagues, and in particular to his wife Manuela, the woman he loved so long and so deeply. |

"We've just heard that Lucie Rejchrtová has set up a
wonderful new webpage, which tells you about her multifarious activities in the
worlds of music, meditation and poetry. Lucie moved to the UK in the early
noughties, where she played keyboards with psychedelic groovers Instant Flight.
Then she began playing with the legendary Arthur Brown, and through him met
many other originators of UK and European psychedelic rock. Check out her
musical and personal odyssey on the Nature Grooves webpage. It's really
interesting and informative, with great pictures and videos. She's even added
a link to my own music. This girl is a star and a brilliant musician. Thanks

Published
today on You Tube: the brand new video for the song "Fly Away" from
Phil's recent solo album Cassandra Lied. The video was shot in Berlin
at the beginning of January 2020 by Friedel Muders of Fuego, who also
did the editing and visual design. High production values mixed with an
ironic but nostalgic take on an ageing "man in black" singing to the
Sirens.

"Autoluminiscent" and the interview refers back to this. It has just

Check out the cover version of Phil's song "Black
Rain" on Harry Stafford's fantastic new album "Gothic Urban
Blues". Harry's legendary band Inca Babies played at the 2019 Drug Me
Fest, along with Dim Locator, Kill The Dandies and many others. His version of
"Black Rain" is excellent, and the album is a genuine classic. https://www.facebook.com/harrystaffordUK/ Black Rain by Harry Stafford from Harry Stafford on Vimeo. A great video by Harry Stafford from his wonderful new album "Gothic Urban Blues": His version of Phil's song "Black Rain", from the 1993 CD "God Is The Other Face Of The Devil". The video was mainly shot in the streets and bars of Manchester, but also features two segments filmed with Phil at last summer's Drug Me Fest in Prague. Really powerful and atmospheric. |

Another fantastic concert, and many thanks to Lukáš, Bob and Honza for helping out at the last minute. They are a GREAT band, you should check them out. As for the Southern Cross gig at Rock Cafe on October 1st - as of now, the concert is going ahead. But it is doubtful if Kristof Hahn and Chris Hughes will make it, due to the aforementioned Covid/quarantine problems at the German-Czech border. We will keep you posted on this. But as of now the concert with Southern Cross at Rock Cafe is going ahead, with or without Chris and Kristof. KEEP ROCK MUSIC LIVE AND TO HELL WITH ALL THOSE POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS WHO WANT TO KILL THE SCENE UNDER THE GUISE OF "PROTECTING" US FROM COVID!!! |

ENRICO "ENNI" HAGEN
PS & SC announce with great sadness the death from cancer of our dear friend and promoter Enrico “Enni” Hagen, who passed away in Dresden on the 23rd of June. Enni was a lifelong music fan, an old-school maverick with a rock and roll heart, who also happened to be a fantastic promoter – both independently and through his beloved club “Skullcrusher”. We have great memories of playing there with Sigue Sigue Sputnik a few years ago, and he also promoted excellent concerts at other Dresden clubs, such as Alte Feuerwache and Tante Ju. The “New York Night” concerts he promoted for PS & SC, New York Junk, Deadbeat Poets and Lorraine Leckie in 2012 and 2013 were exceptional. Enni was out of the promoting business for a while due to ill health, but made a triumphant return in November 2018 with two Phil Shoenfelt solo concerts at Alte Feuerwache and Red Rooster, both of which were sold out. As well as being a talented and caring promoter, Enni looked like a wild rock and roller himself. But he was also a gentleman with old school manners who respected the people he worked with. His love and enthusiasm for rock music transmitted itself to everyone he met, and his passing will leave an unfillable void, not only in the Dresden music scene for which he did so much, but also in the hearts of his devastated friends and admirers. We send our condolences to all Enni’s friends and colleagues, and in particular to his wife Manuela, the woman he loved so long and so deeply. |

"We've just heard that Lucie Rejchrtová has set up a
wonderful new webpage, which tells you about her multifarious activities in the
worlds of music, meditation and poetry. Lucie moved to the UK in the early
noughties, where she played keyboards with psychedelic groovers Instant Flight.
Then she began playing with the legendary Arthur Brown, and through him met
many other originators of UK and European psychedelic rock. Check out her
musical and personal odyssey on the Nature Grooves webpage. It's really
interesting and informative, with great pictures and videos. She's even added
a link to my own music. This girl is a star and a brilliant musician. Thanks

Published
today on You Tube: the brand new video for the song "Fly Away" from
Phil's recent solo album Cassandra Lied. The video was shot in Berlin
at the beginning of January 2020 by Friedel Muders of Fuego, who also
did the editing and visual design. High production values mixed with an
ironic but nostalgic take on an ageing "man in black" singing to the
Sirens.

"Autoluminiscent" and the interview refers back to this. It has just

Check out the cover version of Phil's song "Black
Rain" on Harry Stafford's fantastic new album "Gothic Urban
Blues". Harry's legendary band Inca Babies played at the 2019 Drug Me
Fest, along with Dim Locator, Kill The Dandies and many others. His version of
"Black Rain" is excellent, and the album is a genuine classic. https://www.facebook.com/harrystaffordUK/ Black Rain by Harry Stafford from Harry Stafford on Vimeo. A great video by Harry Stafford from his wonderful new album "Gothic Urban Blues": His version of Phil's song "Black Rain", from the 1993 CD "God Is The Other Face Of The Devil". The video was mainly shot in the streets and bars of Manchester, but also features two segments filmed with Phil at last summer's Drug Me Fest in Prague. Really powerful and atmospheric. |

From: http://thefall.org/news/030224.html "From alt.music.the-fall: Subject: 1974 Fender Mustang, owned by The Fall and painted by Claus Castenskiold From: *****@hotmail.com (yooflard) [Email adress no longer valid] Date: 08/02/2003 18:13 GMT Standard Time Message-id: ****@posting.google.com I
have a Fender Mustang which was once owned by the Fall and has been
painted by Fall artist Claus Castenskiold. The artwork covers the whole
body of the guitar and is mostly red, blue, yellow, green white and
depicts numerous faces, some of which I think resemble Einstien and
Marilyn Monroe. I am told that this guitar was also borrowed by Squeeze
to use in one of their videos.
Can anybody help me, I am interested in any info at all that may help me prove what it is because I have no way of knowing except that I trust the guy I got it off. Would it be collectible by anyone, would it have a value? Although I don't want to, I need to sell it if possible because I need the money."
Phil Shoenfelt's reply... 17.04.2018:
Hi. Just saw my old Fender Mustang guitar, and your question about it dating from 2003. I mean the guitar which was painted by Claus Castenskiold. I bought it in NYC in 1979 and played it in my band Khmer Rouge (Claus was the drummer) for many years - on tour in the USA supporting Nico, Alan Vega, The Clash and many others, and later in the UK, where we supported The Fall on two tours in the mid 1980s. I sold it in 1988, because (like you) I needed the money. I've been kicking myself ever since. Do you still have it, by any chance? Best wishes, Phil Shoenfelt, Prague |

heard with sadness about the death of the great Australian producer

Party, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Once Upon A Time and numerous
others. I count myself lucky that I had the experience of working with
him on my first solo single "Charlotte's Room"/"The Long Goodbye" back
in the late 1980s. I would like to express my condolences to his family

Phil has recently finished producing the debut CD by Prague band SWEET POSITIVE. A five song mini-album, the CD is called AT HER MAJESTY’S PLEASURE and will be released in autumn of 2017 by the German label Moloko +.
Phil also plays guitar on the recording and Dim Locator band mate Chris
Hughes plays drums. The line-up is completed by singer/songwriter
Azalea SoSweet on bass guitar and Sidi Santini on electric guitar, F/X
and slide guitar. The title of the CD is a play on words. The obvious
first meaning alludes to “femdom” sexuality; the second is a British
idiom meaning to serve time in prison – all UK prisons officially
belonging to Her Majesty the Queen.
Simultaneously with these activities, Phil has been working on several
other projects: writing new songs for Southern Cross; working on
STRIPPED (which is due to be published in English by Equus Press in 2018); and writing lyrics for the next CD by New York band Sour Jazz. Phil will also be guest vocalist on the album, which will be produced by the legendary Ramones producer Daniel Rey.

Kamikaze Skull is an experiment in phylogenetic image transference. Sophia Disgrace (London) and Phil Shoenfelt (Prague) met one time only, at a Berlin night club where Shoenfelt’s band had been playing. A system of writing subsequently evolved, whereby S.D.’s internet linguistic transmissions were cut up, tampered with, pasted and looped by P.S. The outcome was a melded “third voice”, an intuited id-entity in a parallel London that may or may not exist. Sophia Disgrace is a London-based performance artist/visual artist/poet/professional deviant/member of the Satanic Sluts. More information: Moloko Plus Records |

And thanks, too, to the hundreds of well-wishers who sent messages through the post, by phone and through My Space, but who couldn't be there in person. It was a sad, but beautiful affair, a fitting send-off for a man whose big heart, warmth and musical talent affected so many people. And as someone who loved life and loved people, I am sure that Bruno would have been touched by the huge outpouring of love and affection that his passing occasioned. I would just like to mention that there will be at least two tribute concerts in the coming weeks and months to celebrate Bruno's music and his life: one in Berlin and one in Prague. There may be other concerts organised in other cities as well. As soon as we have any idea of the times, dates and venues, we will post this news on the Fatal Shore homepage and My Space sites. Phil Shoenfelt |
||||
| 20.04.2009 | The date and time of Bruno's
funeral has now been set, and all those wishing to pay their final respects
are welcome to attend. The service will take place at 12 noon on Saturday 25th
April at Alter Luisenstadt Kirchhof, Südstern 8-12, 10961 Berlin. Update: Apparently there are several entrances to the cemetery. Please use the entrance on Südstern 8-12 (not Bergmannstr. 39-47) And after the funeral there will be an informal get-together in Hasenheide Park, a short distance from the cemetery. Any of Bruno's friends are welcome to come along and make a kind of picnic. Food and drinks will not be provided, so please bring your own refreshments. In the evening there will be an informal reception at the Trödler club in Kreuzberg, a favourite haunt of Bruno's. Again, all are welcome. |
||||
| 19.04.2009 | For those of you who don't already know, Fatal Shore singer and frontman Bruno Adams died peacefully in his sleep in the early hours of Saturday morning, 18/4/2009.
Bruno had been battling cancer for five years with all the strength and courage he could muster. But in the end time ran out, and he passed away at home in Berlin, surrounded by his family and close friends. Although in great physical pain, Bruno never once gave in to self-pity or despair. He loved his wife Katka and his three children with a depth of passion that never faltered, and in spite of his rapidly deteriorating condition, he managed to remain lucid and aware right up until the end. Bruno loved life and he loved people, and for him to be taken from us at such a young age is a tragedy that we will all suffer to come to terms with. The wonderful music he made will continue to inspire, and everyone whose life he touched (and there are many), will remember this unique and beautiful character with the deep love and respect that were the hallmark of Bruno's own attitude to life.
Bruno Adams: Born 02/09/1963, Bacchus Marsh, Australia. Died 18/04/2009 R.I.P. Berlin, Germany. Details about Bruno's funeral will be posted on the Fatal Shore homepage as soon as we know them. The funeral will take place in Berlin, and all Bruno's friends are welcome to attend. If you would like to send a message of condolence, go to: www.myspace.com/fatalshore

| 10.04.2009 | Pratajev In Prague - Phil's first
and only effort at film-making, in which he plays Charles Cockburn, an effete BBC reporter
hot on the heels of the mythical (and non-existent) Russian romantic doctor/poet Pratajev.
A satirical poke at the kind of art documentary that takes itself too seriously, the film
was commissioned by Leipzig band The Russian Doctors, and is loosely based on Phil's short story
"A Little Known Episode" (to be found in the Writings
section). Pratajev In Prague, Part I - YouTube Pratajev In Prague, Part II - YouTube |

| 06.09.2007 | "On October 3rd, 1982, The
Clash played at the R.P.I. Fieldhouse, a huge ice-hockey stadium in Troy, New York. The
support band on that occasion was Khmer Rouge, a British post-punk band based in New York.
Fronted by singer/guitarist Phil Shoenfelt, Khmer Rouge also included bass player Barry
“Scratchy” Myers, who had accompanied The Clash as guest DJ on their first three US
tours. The line-up was completed by drummer Paul Garisto, who later went on to play with
the Psychedelic Furs and Iggy Pop. On October 11th, 2007, twenty five years after the
Troy, NY, show, Phil Shoenfelt & Southern Cross will support ex-Clash guitarist Vince
White at the Retro Music Hall in Prague. Thus completing a circle in time that has nothing
to do with nostalgia." SHOENFELT @ Retro

| 07.12.2005 | CONDOLENCE ANNOUNCEMENT We, Phil Shoenfelt & Southern Cross and Volker Regner, would like to express our condolences to the family and friends of Lothar Gärtner, who passed away after a long illness on Saturday the 3rd of December 2005. Lothar was a true lover of music and had a strong vision of what he wanted to release on the three record labels he founded: the well known German independent Strange Ways, Sireena and more recently his new company Phantasmagoria. All of these labels were committed to releasing high quality independent music which Lothar personally believed in. We thank him for releasing our own CD Deep Horizon in 2004, and it is a CD we are extremely proud of. Without Lothar it wouldn't have been possible. We miss him greatly and would like to express our admiration for a man who did so much to further the cause of independent music. His legacy will live on in the music he championed. |
