    Bio

    Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio started to make music together in 2006. Growing up in a small rough mountain valley called Glarus, they soon found their way to vintage country music, fell in love with the old style and mixed it all up with their punk background to create something they like to call «fucked-up two-piece minimal-western-trash». Their music is simple, original and grabs you by the balls.

    Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio released their first EP «Low Fidelity Science Fiction» in 2007, recorded it all by themselves and sold out within less than two months. From 2008 to 2009 they built their own modest studio with hand-me-down reel to reel tape machines and a worn out analog mixer. Soon after they started the vinyl-label «Pommes Chips Records» (www.pommeschips.ch), where they put out a striking amount of vinyl in a short period of time: Up to 2013 nine 7″-singles got released, plus one big-ass LP-Album.

    Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio played the renowned Paléo Festival in Nyon, the Buskers Festival in Lugano as well as lots of current alternative venues in and around Switzerland. They opened several times for Scott H. Biram, played with Reverend Beat Man, Mama Rosin, The Magnetix and The Pussywarmers.

    • Go Schlager, 7″ Europa Neue Leichtigkeit split (2016)

      Pommes Chips #12

      1. 1Dirnen im BurgunderweinDirnen im Burgunderwein
      1. 2HochzeitHochzeit

      «Dirnen im Burgunderwein» is a sad but true story by Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio when the two were still strolling at the bottoms of empty wine bottles.
      «Hochzeit» is true story too! Written and performed by the fantastic Europa Neue Leichtigkeit. They really know something about Schlager!

      «Dirnen» has been homerecorded in the undergrounds of our dark recording studio. «Hochzeit» has been recorded at Egelpuffstudio. Both songs have been mastered by Adi Flück at Central Dubs. Handprinted letterpress covers at babyinktwice.ch

    • Go make things, 7″ Reverend Deadeye split (2015)

      Pommes Chips #11

      1. 1PussysandwichPussysandwich
      1. 2Make Up Your MindMake Up Your Mind

      «Pussysandwich» is a very energetic song by Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio  about eating a not so vegan sandwich. It is all politically incorrect and absolutely heavy – not so easy to digest. But still a good dancer! So go dancing and eat your sandwich when you get home!
      «Make up your mind» is a very light and sophisticated song by Reverend Deadeye & Brother Al. They put together their skills to produce a great dessert to that primitive first course.

      «Pussysandwich» has been homerecorded in your mother’s kitchen while you where asleep, using all the kitchen utilities your mother loves so much. «Make up your mind» has been recorded by Nick Sullivan at Consonance Productions in Denver, CO. Both songs have been mastered by Adi Flück at Central Dubs. Handprinted letterpress covers at babyinktwice.ch

      This album is a disastrous journey of obscure Spaghetti-Mambo-Sounds, trashed up Western-Shit and hand taped Jungle-Samples. «You’ll f’up anyway» takes you on a riveting ride through 15 nasty songs about losers, filthy swines and whore-love, which will make you cry and shit your pants at the same time. Recorded during january 2013 in the groups own tiny studio on a fostex 8 track reel to reel tape machine (only 7 tracks working), mixed on a tascam 8 track mixer and edited with razor blades.

      Mastered by Adi Flück at Central Dubs. Handprinted letterpress covers at babyinktwice.ch

    • Go tropicana, 7″ Pussywarmers split (2013)

      Pommes Chips #09

      1. 1I had a dreamI had a dream
      1. 2If I sayIf I say

      «I had a dream» is a shitty song written and originally performed by The Pussywarmers. Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio used their magic talents to convert their flop-version into a very obscure and rough xylophone-rumbler.
      «If I say» used to be a very sad but true story written and roughly recorded by Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio. The Pussywarmers couldn’t bear the heavy weight of that song, so they turned it into a fantastic tropicana version.

      Both songs are home recorded by each band and both songs have been stolen from the others. Mastered by Adi Flück at Central Dubs. Handprinted letterpress covers at babyinktwice.ch

    • Go wild about’em, 7″ (2013)

      Pommes Chips #08

      1. 1SheShe
      1. 2TigercatTigercat

      On side A we have that nice disco-destroyer «She» with a little hommage to The Rolling Stones at the end… The «oh yeah» at the begin of this song is Fabio Pozzorini of The Pussywarmers. «Tigercat» is a rumbling and hollering trashsong. The perfect song to make very short love to a wild woman!

      Both songs are written, performed and recorded by Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio and mastered at Centraldubs. Handprinted letterpress covers at babyinktwice.ch.

      Pommes Chips #07

      1. 1ElectricityElectricity
      1. 2Only becauseOnly because

      «Electricity» is a very true song about our personal affection to women and food. This song is dedicated to the one and only electric eel that has been sitting in the aquarium of Zurich Zoo for over 20 years.
      «Only because» is a song from Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio’s first album «Lo-Fi Sci-Fi» from 2007.

    • Roll around, 7″ Frère Souchet split (2012)

      Pommes Chips #06

      1. 1Roll in my…Roll in my…
      1. 2…sweet baby's arms…sweet baby's arms

      On side A we have a very sad rolling interpretation of Flatt & Scrugg’s song «Roll in my sweet babys arms» by Fredo and the Captain himself. Put on this side when you feel heavy and sad. On side B we have a very free and hypnotic interpretation of Flatt & Scrugg’s song «Roll in my sweet babys arms» by Les Frères Souchet (Cyril and Robin of Mama Rosin). Put on this side when you’ve had too much and you just roll around…

      «Roll in my…» is written, performed and recorded by Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio in 2011 and mastered at Dala Studios. «…Sweet babys arms» is written, performed and recorded by Les Frères Souchet in TVO’s bunker, mastered by Adi Flück at Central Dubs.

      Pommes Chips #05

      1. 1Baby please don't goBaby please don't go
      1. 2Spaghuzz RemixSpaghuzz Remix

      For the A-Side Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio found another very traditional blues song from the 1930ies. Then they travelled back to the future and in the year 2088 «Mr. Futureman Spaghuzz» made the perfect dance tekkno remix with that song!
      Listen to it in moments when you’d like to go back to the old days — or if you wanna head straight to the future!

      «Baby please don’t go» is written by Big Joe Williams performed by Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio and remixed by Spaghuzz. Mastered by Stef Nievergelt at Loopsstudio. Handprinted letterpress covers at babyinktwice.ch.

      1. 2I'm gonna leave youI'm gonna leave you

      «Rather stay at home» is the perfect song to get up in the morning and jump from your balcony! Sad true story we wrote after we quit working at the local knife grinder store. On the B-side we have that sharp little song called «I’m gonna leave you». Stay or leave, its your choice!?

      Both songs are written and performed by Captain Moustache & Fredo Ignazio. Mastered by Stef Nievergelt at Loopsstudio. Handprinted letterpress covers at babyinktwice.ch.
