We have some excellent
news to report that the Daedelus,
Noot D' Noot and
Samadha show has
finally found a home! This event will be held at the Highland
Ballroom Lounge on Friday September 12 with doors opening
at 9pm with admission being a mere $8. Tight Bros Network would
like to thank Valerie and the rest of the staff at Highland Inn
for shuffling their schedules to help make this event become a
reality. Randy from Tight Bros was about to lose his fucking mind,
can you imagine? Tickets for this event will be on sale tomorrow
at 10am and will be available at Criminal
Records, Decatur
CD, Ella Guru or online
at www.ticketalternative.com
The Highland
Inn tends to pack out early so it is recommended that you purchase
a ticket in advance.
Also Kirkwood
Ballers Club will feature two very special guest this Thursday
at the Highland Inn Ballroom Lounge. Firstly, Atlanta's fucked
up experimental performance trio, Chinese
Frankenstein will perform in a hotel room above the ballroom
rented for the night. Its a set based on a dream the groups member,
Nisa Asokan, had about a fictitious movie called Blood Bath
about vampires that soak in blood thru the skin instead of biting
for it. Allison Rentz will be giving birth to an alien while talking
on the phone (rigged to a vocal processor) and chained to the
bed. Stan Woodard will be playing guitar in the closet. thats
the plan, but who Knows!! Their perfomance starts promptly around
9:30pm in a hotel room somewhere situated in the Highland Inn.
In
addition, Hungry
Bodies from Baltimore which features members of Food
for Animals, Lexie
Mountain Boys and Mexcellent will perform at KBC. You can
expect Improvised beat deconstructions, pure sine tones, and digitally-scrubbed
glossolalia. See you this Thursday!

Parachutes (Iceland)
Thank You
Frode Gjerstad/ Paal Nilssen-Love duo
All Ages / $10 / 8pm
Originally Alex Somers and
Scott Alario, Parachutes
is now a 7 piece Icelandic pop band. Their music creates a soundscape
of flowing rhythms , beautifully fashioned drum thumps, and orchestrated
harmonies. The songs "Your Stories" & "Tree Roots
Turn to Forts" were mixed by Jonsi Birgisson of Sigur Ros and feature
the strings of Amiina. They will be making their first U.S. appearance
in Atlanta on Friday August 29 at Eyedrum gallery.
Thank You is an athletic rhythm/action unit from Baltimore, made
up of Jeffrey McGrath, Michael Bouyoucas, and Elke Wardlaw. They are
three free individuals, subsumed into a collective form that spits out
dank, skittering tracks filled with light and dark. Their new album,
Terrible Two, was engineered by Baltimore's beloved J. Robbins (Yeasayer,
Mary Timony, Jets to Brazil) at his studio in Baltimore and mixed by
Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Celebration, TV on the Radio) at his studio
in New York City.
Paal Nilssen-Love
is one of Norway's most active drummers and has established himself
as a powerful and dynamic musician through regular groups with Mats
Gustafsson (The Thing), Ken Vandermark (School Days) and Peter Brotzmann
(Chicago 10tet) among others.
With over 20 recordings
as a leader Frode Gjerstad has established himself as a major
saxophonist on the international scene. His groups have included Johnny
Dyani, Kent Carter, John Stevens, William Parker, and Hamid Drake, whom
he toured the US with in 2000.

Adventure
is 24 year-old North Carolina native and recent Baltimore transplant
Benny Boeldt. His ultra-melodic synth compositions pull from his earliest
exposure to the 8-bit soundtracks of the Sega Genesis video game catalog.
But it's not just retro video game music. Mix in the kitschy Moogy sound
of Hot Butter's "Popcorn", the saturated disco-theatrics of
late seventies electro-pop acts like Sparks and Yellow Magic Orchestra,
and a penchant for Eastern European diminished scales and you've come
pretty close to Adventure's accelerated baroque sound. Adventure
is an advanced, dance-floor friendly take on the music of early video
gaming. Let the epic quest for the master sword begin!

Truth, BARR, Mika Miko, Allison Wolfe, Gravy Train!!!!, and Stereo Total.
The debut full length Get Up: Resolution: Love! (Retard Disco, 2003)

In 2005 Hawnay Troof released
the critically acclaimed Community followed by the Double LP and photobook
Dollar and Deed (Retard Disco/ Southern, June 2006). The album was followed
by a twenty month world tour playing such places as Egypt, United States,
China, and the festival circuit in Europe. The tour ended in November
2007 with a month's worth of dates in Europe with Stereo Total.

the separation between the art and the artist disappears. Most never
even get close..." when talking about Vice Cooler and Hawnay Troof.

Gil Mantera's Party Dream
is an electronic synth-pop party band hailing originally from Youngstown,
Ohio. Consisting of brothers Gil Mantera and Ultimate Donny, the Party
Dream is known for their over-the-top live shows and updated channeling
of 1980s synth-pop à la Tears for Fears. Their music blends synth-heavy
electronic dance music with heavy basslines, distorted guitar, and even
a few progressive rock influences.
The Party Dream is well-known among their
fans for their pseudo-performance art approach to playing live, with
sets that include not only musical performance, but also improvised
stage patter, dance, and at times even elements of striptease. Driven
by Gil's synthesizer arrangements and Donny's wildly over-emotive vocal
stylings, the Party Dream produces danceable, electronic music with
recognizable hooks that are often performed by Gil, who sings exclusively
through a vocoder. After originally focusing on improvised performance,
the Party Dream has now matured into a dance band with recorded musical
offerings that while not directly comparable with their frenetic live
shows, has placed them in a position to expand on their regional success
and join the indie/post-punk revival from a decidedly different angle
than their peers.

While Daedelus's reputation has grown internationally, his place
in the LA scene has also solidified. The musician that many of the hottest
names in the city turn to for everything from bass clarinet licks to
advice on obscure electronics, Daedelus has worked extensively
with Taz from Sa-Ra, the pair of them opening for the likes of DJ Assault,
Justice and Two Live Crew as well as appearing in Erykah Badus
most recent video.
Sometimes it's hard to tell where the joking ends and the true deep-space
funk and electro psychedelia begins, but that's the beauty of NOOT
'D NOOT. It's the ultimate Atlanta party band that channels
expert musicianship into dance-floor party jams.

These Are
Powers mesh organic sounds while seamlessly flirting with improvisation.
Their songs are hymns over club beats, ragas piggybacking on noise collages,
dirges married to dance. Founded by Pat Noecker (ex-Liars) and Anna
Barie and joined by Bill Salas (Brenmar), These Are Powers upends traditional
stylistic expectations of acts operating in the noise-punk continuum.
Most likely
no other band than These Are Powers has enthusiastically been described
after a live show as "baby John Coltrane in a stroller" or
as having used "all of the buffalo". Pat Noecker's prepared
bass creates subsonic frequencies and other worldly noises often mistaken
for synthesizers. Bill Salas attacks his electro acoustic drum kit while
standing, and accents beats with live loops and effects. These future
primitive undercurrents create a memorable pulse to Anna Barie's spectral
guitar, banshee vocals and feral performances.
Hot on the
heels of their well-received debut LP Terrific Seasons, These Are Powers
unleash Taro Tarot, an EP that dives even further into their self-christened
genre of "ghost punk". This is their second release for HOSS
Records (WZT Hearts, Food For Animals, Atlas Sound) and their first
with Bill Salas. Taro Tarot will be out April 8th and the band kicks
off their month and a half long U.S. tour in NYC on Valentine's Day.

Crafting a dense, almost unclassifiable but often very melodic sound,
Houston, TX's Indian
Jewelry features the core trio of guitarist/vocalist/keyboardist
Erika Thrasher, guitarist/vocalist Tex Kerschen, and drummer Rodney
Rodriguez. The group was also known as Swarm of Angels, Turquoise Diamonds,
Japanix, the Corpes of Waco, the Perpetual War Party Band, and NTX+Electric.
The band's basic sound remained the same, however, uniting drum machines,
drones, noise and other elements of experimental, psychedelic, industrial
and garage rock into an intense but alluring free-form mix.

Eat Skull
Psychedelic Horseshit
Black Time (In the Red)
Doors at 8pm / $5 suggested donation for touring bands / 21 and up
Brought to you by Chunklet &
Triple D's
Leave it to the English to embellish a term
like "shit-gaze" and in doing so codify the current DIY threadbare
scrape of Times New Viking, Psychedelic Horseshit, and Tyvek. No surprise
that the greatest shit-gazer of all time was none other than Samuel
Coleridge, an avowed Brit who, plied full of laudanum, would sit for
hours and stare at his bowel movements, writing copious notes on their
color, texture, etc. "Monday? Oh, stool journal, to where didst
thine weekend go?" At any rate, it's hard to gauge how much mileage
the Limeys can get with such a phrase, but cross your fingers it hangs
around long enough for Eat Skull to share in the odorous mirth. Call
their genre whatever you want; Eat
Skull will be ensconced in the stately pleasure-dome at Xanadu,
waiting for the checks to clear.
Considered by the Columbus cognoscenti
as the "little brother band" (Stooges-style) to Times New
Viking (MC5-style), Psychedelic
Horseshit first came about as three buds determined to crash a hippie
fest and jam retardo. When asked for their name, singer/guitarist Matt
Whitehurst replied, "Just call us Psychedelic Horseshit."
The band killed, the name stuck, and thus the die was ignominiously
cast. Since then, they played with the Urinals, Country Teasers, Dan
Melchior, Blues Control, toured with Pink Reason and Times New Viking,
ruled a couple showcases at the 2007 SXSW, basically doing what they
can to lay the foundation for the release of this debut LP (a previous
7-inch on the Columbus Discount label made many 2006 Best Of lists,
too).

John MacLean, also known as The
Juan MacLean, is an American electronic musician. Maclean
was guitarist for the indie Dance-punk band Six Finger Satellite, based
in Providence, Rhode Island. The band was struck by several tragedies,
and Maclean eventually moved into production duties, utilizing his home
studio in Providence (nicknamed "The Parlor"). Eventually
James Murphy joined the band as sound engineer (where he became known
for a punishing tour PA setup, which he nicknamed "Death From Above").
Eventually the band broke
up, and Maclean spent several years out of the music business, getting
a degree at the University of Rhode Island and teaching English in New
Hampshire. He continued a friendship with Murphy, who moved to New York
City and founded influential dance-punk label DFA Records and started
LCD Soundsystem. Murphy urged Maclean to get back into music, and got
Maclean experimenting with modern electronic mixing equipment; DFA would
include several Maclean compositions on compilation records.
His first full length
album on the label, Less Than Human, was released in July 2005. Maclean
toured America tour in Fall 2006 in support of The DFA Remixes Chapter
2.
On videos for "Give
Me Every Little Thing" and "Tito's Way", MacLean is joined
by tour drummer Jerry Fuchs. Other touring members include Eric Broucek
and Nicholas Millhiser, and "Dance With Me" features vocalist
Nancy Whang of LCD Soundsystem. The video for "Give Me Every Little
Thing" was directed by Ben Dickenson of Waverly Films. The video
for "Tito's Way" was directed by Adam Levite as Associates
in Science.

Neil Hamburger's
jokes range from variations of "Why did the chicken cross the road?"
to celebrity targets, such as Michael Jackson, Paris Hilton, The Red
Hot Chili Peppers, and Diana, Princess of Wales, to jokes about his
ex-wife. His pacing is off, and he clears his throat nonstop through
his entire routine (often to keep overzealous fans from shouting out
his punchlines), which has caused critics to tag him as "the world's
'worst' stand-up comedian". He has performed his brand of comedy,
much of it anti-humor, in front of audiences from the New York University
Thompson Center to Jimmy Kimmel Live and is often compared to Tony Clifton[1].
His posture, demeanor and tone of voice are reminiscent of TV entertainer,
Ed Sullivan. One of his most famous gags is the "Zipper Lips,"
in which he asks an audience member a question. If the audience member
doesn't respond, Hamburger produces a verbal stoush that produces his
Zipper Schtick. A common phrase used by the comedian is, "But,
that's my life!"

* Decatur CD * www.ticketalternative.com
Sunburned Hand of the
Man is a band in the loose sense of the word; its better described
as a banner under which a collective of musical freaks have gathered.
Based in Boston, Sunburned Hand of the Man grew out of trio which called
itself Shit Spangled Banner and featured John Molony and Rob Thomas
who would later become anchors of the Sunburned coterie. According to
Molony, Shit Spangled Banner was conceived as "a cross between
the Melvins and Sonic Youth," but the group was fast picking up
a host of likeminded dropouts and musical wanderers who would show at
their loft, and their sound soon began to incorporate everything from
early American folk music to drone, free jazz, space rock, and funk.
After one release, 1996s No Dolby No DBX (released as part of
Ecstatic Yods Ass Run series), the group changed it name to Sunburned
Hand of the Man. A string of self-released CD-Rs followed, including
Mind of a Brother (1997) and Piffs Clicks (1998). With 2001s
Jaybird Sunburned reached a new pinnacle, forging their disparate elements
into a distinct (if not complete) sounding collection. By this time
likeminded groups such as Jackie-O Motherfucker, Tower Recordings, and
the No-Neck Blues Band (who are somewhat of a sister group to Sunburned)
were also coming into their own and gaining critical applause. The term
"free folk" started popping up in an attempt to describe these
bands and Sunburned were seen as leaders (or at least co-leaders) in
a musical movement of sorts, a movement which had its antecedents in
Harry Smiths Anthology of American Folk Music as much as in avant
jazz and noise groups. Sunburned Hand of the Man continued to refine
and expand their sound on CD-R and vinyl-only releases such as 2001s
Wild Animal, 2002s Headdress, and 2003s Trickle Down Theory
of Lord Knows What. Each release was a rough, but often brilliant indicator
of where the band was headed, rather than finished statements of where
they had been. In August of 2003 the profile of the band raised considerably
when they were featured on the cover of the respected British music
magazine -Wire, appearing above the headline "New Weird America."

Since releasing their last full length, the critically
acclaimed "Mapmaker", Parts
& Labor have kept a relentlessly busy schedule. They toured
Europe twice and across the U.S. three times. They have diligently worked
on their own label, the ever growing Cardboard Records (recently featured
in Impose Magazine, and recommended by Pitchfork). And they just released
the "Escapers Two" EP, which perfectly captures the whirlwind
that is Parts & Labor with 51 songs in under 30 minutes.
The past year has also seen the departure
of drummer Christopher R. Weingarten to pursue a writing career. But
with the addition of Joseph Wong on the drums the band barely skipped
a beat (indeed the band performed its first show with Joe a mere two
months after their last one with Chris). P&L also recruited guitarist
and noise artist Sarah Lipstate to the fold, adding a new depth and
versatility to their already expansive wall of sounds.
With the new lineup solidified, Parts
& Labor recorded a new full length (due out fall 2008). The album
features a unique, sonic experiment -- the band used audio samples sent
by friends and fans to embellish their most adventurous full length
to date. Additionally, Parts & Labor will be hitting the road again
this summer, including festival appearances in Norway and the U.K.,
as well as performances at New York's Siren Festival and Baltimore's
Whartscape.
Parts & Labor hail from Brooklyn,
NY, and have been creating electronics-heavy psych/noise/punk/rock for
over six years. They cite the following bands as influences and are
totally cool with you name-checking them: Husker Du, Sonic Youth, Boredoms,
Minutemen, Neutral Milk Hotel and Amps For Christ. They've performed
with TV On The Radio, Mission Of Burma, Battles, Matt & Kim, Clinic,
Deerhoof, Lightning Bolt, and many, many more.

Mr. Quintron (born David
Robert Rolston) is an American musician and leader of the eponymous
one-man-band, Mr. Quintron. He is a celebrated nightclub organist and
inventor, who has patented a number of his own inventions and often
performs at his own private club, the Spellcaster Lodge, located on
St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans 9th Ward. He frequently performs
with his wife, fellow musician and puppeteer, Panacea Pussycat (also
known as Miss Pussycat), co-founder of the 9th Ward's now defunct Pussycat
Caverns. Quintrons most notable invention to date is the Drum
Buddy, a mechanically-rotating, five-oscillator, light-activated drum
machine.
Mr. Quintron is a multi-instrumental one-man-band. During performances,
Mr. Quintron utilizes a custom-made Hammond organ/Fender Rhodes synthesizer
combo which he has had custom outfitted to resemble the body of a car,
complete with working headlights and a license plate which reads Mr.
Q. [1] Mr. Quintron is often accompanied by The Drum Buddy, a
rotating, light-activated analog synthesizer, one of many which he has
created and manufactured himself. Mr. Quintron frequently plays multiple
instruments simultaneously, the Hammond organ acting as his primary
instrument, and the Fender Rhodes supplying bass lines. He can often
be seen keeping time on a hi-hat with one foot while toggling between
a volume and wah-wah pedal with the other. [1] Mr. Quintron is regularly
accompanied by his wife Miss Pussycat, who sings backup and plays maracas.
