Peaches Touring with Drums of Death

March 10, 2009

Photobucket

I don’t know about y’all, but these days when I hear about a new Peaches album, I get a little scared. Don’t get me wrong, the lady has done a lot for sex. As in, she has single handedly allowed hipsters to talk about it, and be a little sore when they walk the walk about it. I was able to interview her during the Fatherfucker tour, and let me tell you: she has strong vision and nothing but love for anyone with a freeness about sexuality. HOWEVER Impeach My Bush, her last record, mostly collapsed under her own weight, and I was beginning to doubt. The sounds started dating themselves, and I was worried it would be the end.  But I wouldn’t want an indie scene without her! THANK GOD she started remixing, because her remixes have been stellar. This week, it was with great relief that I read she was letting some new blood into her labia-fold, and here come Drums Of Death. Tourmates and album contributors for Peaches circa 2009, it is always good news when a veteran gets a youngsta she inspired to help out. It’s like the sexual circle if life. Drums Of Death is from the UK and released a Peaches inspired mixtape that embeds the new song “I Feel Cream,” the title track of the record (hint: some hot shit starts right around the middle and continues right at the end).

Download below, tour dates and album track list after the jump. I Feel Cream is out May 5th on XL Recordings.

Throbbing Gristle On Tour

February 4, 2009

Photobucket

After announcing a set a Coachella, there is a limited amount of dates that you can catch Throbbing Gristle on tour this spring. Led by out-there-queer Genesis P-Orridge, TG has not been around the states since 1981, and so much has happened since then. Genesis had a tragic incident in 2007 when his artistic and life partner Lady Jaye died suddenly. The pair had been in the midst of a spiritual union through surgery–essentially, they had been undergoing operations to become twins (I’m willfully reducing this for the sake of brevity, you can read all about it here). In any case, sometimes the personal stuff can overshadow the band’s music, which should not be underestimated in terms of influence. Wikipedia: “In the 1960s and early 1970s Throbbing Gristle, which dealt with subjects such as prostitution, pornography, serial killers, and occultism, generated controversy.” Tour dates and all that other good stuff after the jump.

CHANNELING : Queer Film on Tour

January 6, 2009

Photobucket

Chicago-based film makers Ethan A White and Latham Zearfoss are taking their latest project on the road and are coming to a town near you. Full dates and details after the jump, and check out their facebook page and blog. From the press release:

CHANNELING is an entryway into the spirit realm and the queer body politic: a loose catalogue of experimental moving image work that calls up the ghosts of the past and the specters of the future. The intent of the program is to re-imagine film and video as occult technologies that allow us to connect with the bodies, experiences, and emotions that are often invisible–ghostly, even–in everyday life. The works in the program take a personal approach in dealing with the political and historical problems that haunt the queer experience: the AIDS pandemic (Renwick, DiStefano), the body in transition (Montague), the idealized nuclear family (Pena, Robinson), and the narrow cultural standards of desirability (EMR, Moulton). CHANNELING presents emerging and established artists critically engaging with these concerns on their own campy, poetic, sexual, humorous, and even utopian terms, using a variety of aesthetic approaches such as digital video, homemade effects, saturated 8mm, home movies, animation, green screen, and more.

Vanessa Renwick – 9 is a Secret (2002, 6:00, video)
Elliot Montague – Well Dressed (2006, 10:00, Super 8mm on video)
Shana Moulton – Whispering Pines #7 (2006, 5:00, video)
Michael Robinson – Carol Anne is Dead (2008, 7:30, video)
EMR (Math Bass & Dylan Mira) – Somethings Gonna Soon (2008, 4:00, video)
Aay Preston-Myint – Some Ghosts (2007, 2:00, video)
Jillian Pena – Compromise (2005, 10:00, video)
John Di Stefano – (tell me why): The Epistemology of Disco (1990, 24:00, video)

Total Running Time: ~68 min.

Warhol’s Screen Tests Scored Live at the MCA

November 1, 2008

I’ve not yet had my time with Luna or Dean Wareham new project with Britta Philips. Phillips was a member of Luna starting in 2000, so Dean and Britta has seemed like a continuation of that band’s mediocre twilight. Galaxie 500, Dean Wareham’s first and best band. ANYWAY, Dean and Britta have taken it upon themselves to score some selections from Warhol’s screen tests, and for the first time I’m interested. Pitchfork has the details, but the gist is that the record, 13 Most Beautiful… Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests, and tour are down the pike – they are scheduled at the Museum of Contemporary Art on March 7th. According to Plexifilm, this is the first ever authorized DVD of Andy Warhol’s films. Tour dates after the jump. Read the rest of this entry ?

Hercules & Love Affair Has a Live Album

October 2, 2008

Photobucket

Having seen (but barely remembering) their concert in NYC on my birthday, I can say Hercules’ show is a juggernaut. Many musicians on that stage, Nomi and Kim Ann competently taking Antony’s vocal duties, an almost continuous mixtape of a set…UGH I can’t wait for their upcoming show at Metro. Anyway, in case you live in the sticks, or even if you want a memento, they are selling a live album, available for download or tangible purchase through Live Here Now.

Tracklist, Live @ Koko, London
1. Classique
2. You Belong
3. I”m Telling You
4. Shadows
5. Danny Wang

Pics From 1st Hercules & Love Affair Show Posted

While they are not touring the U.S. anytime soon, NYC was the host to Hercules & Love Affair’s first show ever. Antony was not there, but the pics at Brooklynvegan look really fun. Nomi and Kim sung Antony’s parts, Andy Butler looks sweaty and hot and I’m sure the live instrumentation made this one hell of a performance. Tour dates after the jump. Damn, can’t wait.

New CSS Song/Album

April 29, 2008

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Not as dance ready but certainly as stage dive insisting as the well loved tracks from their first record, the first tack from CSS‘s upcoming record Donkey, is making the rounds. “Rat is Dead (Rage).” After the amicable, noble loss of bassist Ira Trevisan, the sound of the band was going to shift at least a little. Donkey will be out on July 22 on Sub Pop, current tour dates after the jump.

CSS–Rat is Dead (Rage)

Check out this remix from the song from that commercial:

Matmos is Coming

April 25, 2008

Photobucket

Longtime listeners/short term readers how freaky Think Pink Radio is about Matmos. With May 6th, the release date for their new record fast approaching, little trickles of mp3′s have been digitally making way for excitement and pants peeing. Supreme Balloon being an entire album made from synthesizers, it’s bound to be great headphones music, carnivals, psychedelic BBQ’s, and traveling. Thankfully, Drew Daniel and MC Schmidt are web savvy enough to be ok with people already having some of the songs. Stereogum has “Unbeliever,” a track that will be a B-side or on an import version or something (you can get it if you subscribe to their newsletter), meanwhile “Rainbow Flag” is available on Matador’s Matmos page, and “Polychords” is one of the tracks on the new Matador MP3 sampler “Intended Play: Spring 2008″. You can get “Polychords” below and “Supreme Balloon” at the previous post but as a courtesy, head over to Stereogum for that B-side, buy Supreme Balloon from Matador, and support their upcoming tour. Dates after the jump.

Judas Priest is Still Alive (with Rob Halford)

April 21, 2008

It is safe to say that no one has gotten more queer visibility among heavy metal fans than Rob Halford and his veteran metal band Judas Priest. To say nothing of his status as a supreme leather daddy, Halford, you can’t knock a guy that has a 4.5 octave vocal range and came out in 1998 on MTV. It might be old news today, but back then it was a pretty brave step. As it turns out, Judas Priest is on the prowl again, with a new record entitled “Nostradamus” and summer tour planned. Check out Halford’s coming out video above and his short lived, Trent Reznor produced side project 2wo, which had a Chi Chi La Rue directed music video for their song “I am a Pig” below.
