Cyberpunkers, Slap in the Bass, Jacquivs, Alvin Risk, etc etc

COOOOL, sooo, Cyberpunkers this past weekend at the AWESOME Capitol Theatre was AWESOME, I played directly after them, it was way cool, had WICKED fun, thank you to the fantastic Johan at the fantastic GRIET ARTISTS for their usual high quality event! plus sunday night was spent with my good friend Jacqui who did the most AMAZING photo shoot of me last tuesday, see below:



AND:



There's more but then I don't really want this to be completely about me...or do I????

Look down the links to the left and look for the Jacquivs link, thats her. Plus we were also hanging with my friend Chad, he of the FANTASTIC band US KIDS KNOW they have just released a new EP called Jingle Jizz! He has to be one of the most entertaining and Rock n Roll people I know. We then went to the Bowls Club where I watched football (Manchester United DESTROYING Chelsea...YAAY) and they laughed at me watching football. Then we ended up drinking even more at Jacqui's house, needless to say, leaving her place at 2:30 in the morning wasn't REALLY the brightest move in lieu of a full day's worth of work ahead of me on monday...I survived. All Good!!!!.

Check out the latest issue of VIXXEN for some articles by myself, on the opening of our new record store AWARE, which is awesome by the way, you should come, and say hello and stuff.

What The Angel Said - The Savage Nomads by Alaska Sounds



COOL, and THEN, my good fiend JOHN BOURKE, yes, he of Trash Yourself! (who have some new music coming as well) has started a solo project called Gosteffects and it's WAY cool, I recently got it featured for him on the Free Anton Hammerl podcast aired on the 1st of May to help get awareness internationally for the journalists being held in Libya, one of which,Anton Hammerl is a close personal friend of a few of my oldest friers, so it is close to home. John VERY kindly agreed to donate one of his tracks to them for this excellent cause which is a true measure of the man , namely John. You can expect big things from this project as John is one TALENTED muthaphunka!!!! So too is Anton Hammerl and his companions whom are being illegally kept captive in Libya by that cunt gaddafi!!! OH, how I'd love to fuck that arrogant megalomaniac up, 5 minutes alone in a room with him!!!!! The arsehole has not even allowed him to phone his wife...which is the measure of THAT "man"-pig despot murderer!!!!! FUCK YOU GADAFFI you can come over to my house ANYTIME, come alone, I will SHOW you what pain is!!!

RIGHT, this weekend I am playing with the Cyberpunkers again, I am SUPER psyched and amped and stuff. I am playing immediately after Cyberpunkers and have some AWESOME stuff to play, so do NOT leave if you want to dance till your heart gives out.

Big Scary - Autumn
 “An obvious comparison that comes to mind would be Jeff Buckley fronting the White Stripes (and indeed they’ve been described as such), but that undersells both parties. Syme is a far better drummer than Meg White and Tom Iansek’s vocals contain an intimacy that Buckley’s showboating falsetto occasi
onally obscured.” - Beat Maga

Some stuff from James Parish. The Savage Nomads:

Musically difficult to pin down, in an early live review the band were described by Mojo as playing “angular psych-flavoured post-punk commentaries with disarming confidence” and that’s as close a description as any. They also sent a copy of their self-released EP last year to The Independent and made their Barometer feature in the process.
 
The band release their debut single proper, “The Magic Eye”, on May 16th via new London independent label Alaska Sounds and it will be first single released from their upcoming debut album “Coloured Clutter”, expected end of June / July. Both single and album have been mixed by Mike Crossley (Foals, Arctic Monkeys).

THE FROWN, DOUBLE-ADAPTER and me

I am sorry that it's been a while but I will get back to my blog as soon as possible. I have been very busy with a variety of projects to secure a lucrative future for myself.

In the mean time, our my good friends Tim Apter Max Lehr, Eve Rakow of THE FROWN have recently released their debut EP called äˈ-mĕn and it's fantastic!!
here is a teaser of the EP.

The Frown - Amen (teaser) from Mustard Post Production on Vimeo.



Their upcoming gigs for the next week:
4th April - Wolves: special acoustic versus electric EP set with several guest artists! |
6th April - Kitcheners: with Olinosterfant (CT) |
9th April - We Are Animals SPECIAL EDITION at Town Hall / The Woods with Taxi Violence, Desmond and the Tutus, Double Adapter and Destrukto!
Check out the interview I did with Eve in last months VIXXEN magazine (the latest EDITION is out, check it)

The Frown - Before the Sun Sets from russell grant on Vimeo.



PLUS, my insanely talented good friends Tim and Dan Apter of Double-Adapter are going on their European tour leaving next week!!
Check out their latest interview HERE

Here is a link to their ADAPT OR DIE tour, they will be hitting Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic. They Predict a RIOT wherever they play. I am MIGHTILY proud of them!! (ps, I too will be playing at this last event)

THIS is where they will be playing in Italy and you can check out their mixtape of what can be expected when they play their!

Closer to home, Eve and I are doing a twice weekly night at THE PLACE PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS BOB ROCKS in Greenside, tuesday and thursday nights you can find myself and guests making noise there until the early hours of the morning.
It's a return to the underground for an area that is being inundated with the popped collar and square toe brigade with a penchant for green and gold shirts and too much brandy. It's time to take back the streets, the ears and the minds of the public, and if you are not careful, we will take over your souls too.

AND I CANNOT WAIT to be making noize at WE ARE ANIMALS this weekend at THE WOODS and TOWN HALL, if it's ANYTHING as epic and insane as DESIGNER DRUGS whch was insane. We were still on the dancefloor at 4:15am when the music was stopped and the lights came on, an insanely awesome night was had by all! Joburg DOES know how to party!!

There will be a music related post up as soon as possible as true to form there has been a huge amount of music stacking up in my inbox and I need to sift through it all to share with you. There's a large amount so it will take a while, I promise to have it done as quickly as I can but it is a huge task.
I love you all

Monster new post again

BEFORE I carry on with this post, I would like to make a public complaint against the DMCA whom in their INFINITE wisdom and absolute arrogance take down posts that have taken DAYS to do AND only have LEGAL MP3's etc in them by claiming that they have received a complaint and have APPARENTLY sent details to me about what the offending items are. To this day I have not received a SINGLE message from them stating that x or y is a problem and please remove it, not once, yet they claim they have sent many mails to myself.....get your shit together DCMA or I will take this further legally

SOPHISTICATED ELECTRONIC DREAMERS HOME VIDEO CREATE HYPNOTIC ELECTRO-ROCK WITH NEW ALBUM THE AUTOMATIC PROCESS

HOME VIDEO February Album Release

“Bask in their intoxicating tunes, which range in personality from somber and minimalist
to hopeful and sublime" - Paper Magazine

"beautiful" - Filter Magazine

"Home Video has created a journey...that never ceases to bounce back" - Under The Radar Magazine

"the album showcases the duo's widening sound palette and effortless blending of both darkness and light." - Nylon Magazine

"wholly uncompromising in its approach and aesthetic" - Big Shot Magazine

"Artist to Watch" - Rolling Stone


Brooklyn, NY – Amidst waves of richly textured melodies and driving beats rises a haunting voice intoning messages of modern hope and despair that will invade your memories. This is the sound of HOME VIDEO, Collin Ruffino and David Gross, high-school friends from New Orleans who have been collaborating since their first short video in 1997. After originally recording for electro powerhouse Warp Records, the band are self-releasing their second album, The Automatic Process, available on February 25, 2011 (physical to be releasd March 25, 2011)

Inspired early on by music from the likes of Massive Attack, Boards of Canada, Depeche Mode, and Phillip Glass, HOME VIDEO intertwine the classically-trained sensibilities of Gross with the confessional and at times existential lyrics of Ruffino. With The Automatic Process, the band layers samples, synthesizers, piano, guitar, and live drums to build an electro-tinted minimalist rock that drives steadily towards the sublime -- a spacious soundtrack evocative of a fractured dream.

Warp Records released Home Video’s first two EPs in 2004: That You Might, a 10” single that immediately picked up considerable attention in Britain from BBC Radio 1 and the NME, and Citizen EP, a five-song release that earned the band a feature in Rolling Stone. In 2006, US-based Defend Music released the band’s debut album, No Certain Night or Morning. With infectious tracks like “Sleep Sweet” and “Gas Tank”, it’s no surprise that Grammy-nominated DJ Sasha picked two songs from the album to remix for his most recent release, Involver 2, which also included songs from Thom Yorke, Apparat and M83. HOME VIDEO themselves have recently taken to the role of remixer, reworking songs for bands like Bear in Heaven, Wave Machines, Faunts, Bang Gang, and friends Naked Hearts.

HOME VIDEO produce all their music themselves, and adapt their studio creations into full-on live performances featuring a drummer and hypnotic visual projections. During Home Video’s first European tour they had the opportunity to play in London with Blonde Redhead, who later invited the band to support them for three weeks of shows in North America. Since then, HOME VIDEO have opened for such diverse acts as Justice, Yeasayer, Flying Lotus, Pinback, DJ Krush, Colder, and Radio 4. Taking advantage of Ruffino’s film education, the band has also made several of their own music videos. The band’s video for “I Can Make You Feel It” premiered on MTV2’s Subterranean, and had over 200,000 views after being featured for a week on the front page of YouTube.com.

The Automatic Process will be released Febraruy 25th, 2011 (physical to be released March 25th). Building on the band’s 2009 EP, It Will Be OK EP, expect more of their best, with key songs “The Smoke”, “An Accident”, “Every Love That Ever Was”, and the title track, “The Automatic Process”. Stay tuned for updates on upcoming shows, videos, and remixes.

Hey peeps, I am sorry for not posting for the past few weeks, I have left my job (under close on acrimonious circumstances) and am busy finalizing all my stuff and then I can concentrate on Deconstruction. I will be bck with a MONSTER post before the weekend. It has been an EXTREMELY eventfull few weeks.
Anyhoo, the plushie above is made by my girlfriend Renate who will soon be bringing some of Scarlets Little Friends to you. In the mean time check out Popo.Me we are collaborating with Ke Ai at 70 Juta towards the end of the month.


PLUS speaking of 70 Juta come through this weekend for the LAUNCH of this awesome new spot on the Jozi skyline. I will be playing there on Sunday making some chillness for all of you. AND there will be another launch at the beginning of next month. This is a VERY exciting space whice VERY happy to be a part of.

Tonight I will be playing at Mammas Shebeen from 8pm till around midnight, then tomorrow evening I will be at Kitchener's for Vinyl Thursday as well as on Friday night for a Dubstep set after I play my late afternoon set at Mammas. Saturday afternoon is my usual afternoon chill set at Mammas from 2pm till 8pm. and the Sunday, as mentioned, I will be at 70 Juta for the launch, laying down some more chillness for you all as you peruse the awesomness that is 70 Juta!!

Cool, I will have LOTS of music for you by the end of the week, it has been piling up something cronic.

Okay, you can go about your business now....there will be more from me.....soooooon.......love and guts
Me
