Good news! It appears that my band, American Lesion, is opening for the Misfits in December...the Masquerade in Atlanta...played there quite a few times...oh, and just got the website up here...yeah its pretty bland at the moment but i had to get something up fast instead of directing people to Facebook or Myspace... EDIT: so I can showcase some music for all
The first is about Ed Gein, the second is about Joan of Arc, and the third is our attempt at a music video, but it turned out as a 4 minute snuff film...and yes, we are a twisted bunch
@Kernowdrunk i've been getting fab feedback on that radiophonic thing. It was great fun to do and i'm real glad you dig it. I never intended to make it as an actual release but i'm starting to think otherwise now and do a real limited run on mini-cd. I don't feel as though the radiophonic urge has gone away yet so there may be another episode coming.
I've just finished a new longform piece of slow wash drones over an Arizonan friend's field recordings which came together really quickly and i'm pretty happy with. Just got to do the sleeve designing thing now which isn't something I particularly enjoy at all.
I can't stop making this really strange music. I have sorta crappy equipment, and my voice is sorta strange so I'm experimenting with lyrics... and... well. You should listen and gimme some real feedback because I can't get crap outta the people around me. I need some honest music feedback (but in an open-minded, freethinking, anything is music kinda way). Is this stuff enjoyable? Thanks.
We drove our label crazy because the song is not on the album we're trying to promote; it was just an idea that got bigger and crazier and took on a mind of its own. So we turned the rap song into a digital-only EP, which is at itunes and amazon.">
Took me a while to do this (like most of my musical projects).
Virtually everything I've recorded (that has survived) from 1978-2010 is now on Soundcloud, from guitar abuse to tape-loop pieces, to nearly-pop somewhat krautrocky prototechno, to my more recent sound sculptures (many heard on The 4AM). 50 Tracks.
Because I don't thing enough people heard most of it 20-30 years ago. And now you can.
I'm cheating a tiny bit here, but I think my boyfriend's band would appeal to the Whitechapel crowd. I think the musician/comic book line should be crossed as often as possible. The Lumerians are a Bay Area band that just got signed onto Knitting Factory Records, and they have a psychedelic, bootie-shaking, sometimes Brazilian-influenced sound.

Have helped to organise ( in a minor way ) and will be djing/eventually performing at this rejuvenated Brighton monthly electronic/hauntological/prog extravanganza ! Mordant Music this month , with future confirmed headliners and performers ( some regularly mentioned by Warren) to be announced ASAP, and unconfirmed special guests. Strange electronic music and visuals guaranteed.
I contributed some vocals to this EP by Harlequinade, also featuring Laughing Gear from the Eaters. It's on a post-apocalyptic sound collage / spoken word / hip-hop tip. It's free to download.
