MARK SULTAN http://www.marksultan.com/ "Montreal’s Mark Sultan (sometimes known as BBQ) is a criminally underappreciated garage rock cult hero who puts on a one-man-band live show so sincerely passionate that he makes most primitive rock ’n’ roll revivalists look like cyn...ical imposters. Unfortunately, none of his studio recordings have captured that unhinged genius, which is why anyone who believes in him needs to pick up this one-take improvised stream-of-consciousness limited-edition live album (also available as a free download). It’s very lo-fi and unapologetically sloppy, but it’s also so real it hurts. If you haven’t caught him doing this routine live before, you may be a bit baffled at first. There are no spaces between songs, and even describing them as songs is a bit of a stretch. He might freak out at the comparison, but it’s more like what a good DJ can accomplish by blending the raw elements of whatever songs feel right for that moment. He speeds up and slows down as the spirit moves him, stops on a dime to let loose some of the most authentically soulful crooning in punk rock and somehow makes credible links between 50s R&B and 80s hardcore. Deranged but brilliant." 5/5 - Eye Magazine
