Ivan Julian & Capsula SET TO RELEASE 'THE NAKED FLAME' JUNE 15, 2009 THROUGH BLOODY HOTSAK
ANNOUNCE EUROPEAN TOUR DATES
On his new album
'The Naked Flame', the legendary guitarist & vocalist
Ivan Julian invokes the sounds of a scene that he explored intensely during the last decades, the scene of New York. Ivan Julian - original member from the bands 'Richard Hell & The Voidoids', The Outsets and Lovelies- traces in this album an overwhelming register, playing alien guitars and downtown psychedelia with raw sounds and wicked rhythms.
For the recording of this intense sound combustion, Ivan meets the wild power-trio
Capsula from Spain, whom after sharing sessions & giving an explosive gig in New York, recorded as
Ivan Julian & Capsula 12 unreleased Ivan Julian's songs that will be out in Europe - in CD and in a special edition on VINYL- through
Bloody Hotsak Records.
Reveling the urgent rhythms on stabbing guitars that marked beforehand in 77 at CBGB, and rapidly beat during the 80's in New York, Ivan Julian magically blends, in THE NAKED FLAME, the post-punk fierceness with mad funk voodoo rhythms, resounding with the rough and tumble immediacy of East Village New York and beyond, in an exquisite feast that counts with the luxury collaboration of Al Maddy, Nick Tremulis, Matt Verta-Ray (Heavy Trash), Vincent DeNunzio, Austin Julian y Christina Campanella.
The songs of THE NAKED FLAME crosses the Rolling Stones obscurity via Hendrix (The Waves) walks through punk-funk shakes (Funky Beat In Siamese), mixes Led Zeppelin with acid (The Naked Flame) and provides psychedelic surprises (Constricted) in this astounding ramble.

Ivan Julian
'Ivan Julian and Robert Quine were the two remarkable guitarists on Richard Hell And The Voidoids' Blank Generation, one of the best-guitared rock albums ever. Julian has continued that amazing set's thick, jumpy, hypertuned guitar rhythms on the record by his own band, The Outsets' R.R. Rock a Rama
'A sweet, sexy, soulful display that broght back memories of every great black/white rock and roll street corner band' Jim Testa - Boston Rock
'Julian's guitar gives a screeching cathartic release to the anger hidden in the lyrics, masked by the funk beat' Brett Gilfoil - The California Aggie Revue
'Vibranting, alien sounds often coming out of his guitar' Mark Nemeth
' Utterly unpredictable mixture of speedy Hendrixisms and skronking feedback. However, Julian's sonic extremism was balanced by gentle acoustic and pedal steel guitar work and by Sweet's brisk rhythm playing, making a sound that could be called 'jangling guitar meets mangling guitar' Marty Hughley - The Oregonian
'Speaking of Richard Hell, who was in stage with the incomparable Matthew Sweet but Ivan Julian, ex of the Voidoids and certainly one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. Great. Great. Great' Post Modern
