Mouse On Mars Live at El Rey Theatre, Sat, Feb 16 10:00p
El Rey Theatre, 5515 Wilshire Blvd.,
The El Rey is a general admission, standing room venue, unless stated otherwise in specific show details. Mouse on Mars is one of the few electronic bands to stand the test of time. Constantly reinventing themselves, they have taken electronica to new heights with a unique blend of sound annihilation, fragmented melodies and an impassioned hatred of conformity. For nearly two deacades, Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner have sweated over burning consoles to create a new musical language, only to twist it again into thousands of myriad distortions. Mouse On Mars' sound links them to the club-music scene, as do their many remixes and collaborations with members of the dance-music world. Yet their association with the formalized and utilitarian world of dance music is ironic, as the band's raison d'etre is to place electronic flies in any aural ointment they choose to muck through. A series of 10 albums and numerous remixes has come off as primarily intent on dashing expectations, from the ambient-house ectoplasms of 1994's Vulvaland and 1995's slightly more structured Iaora Tahiti; to the flighty and funny electronics, spluttering horns and acoustic-guitar samples of 2000's more "organic" Niun Niggung; to the forest of sonic porcupine quills that is Idiology. Radical Connector (2004) further granulated the MoM aesthetic into nine vaguely pop-oriented songs, ever heavier on the beats and increasingly hinging the tunes on the vocals and drumming of longtime collaborator Dodo Nkishi. Varcharz (2006) entirely recorded at Mouse on Mars' St. Martin Ton Studios in Duesseldorf has been their most live sounding and diverse studio album to date. 2012 will see a new Mouse on Mars once again. Their upcoming LP Parastrophics is a thriving vision of the other side of experimental music. Discordance turns into pop as Alice in Wonderland bounces her booty to laser bass sounds, the likes of which would make Walt Disney jealously ponder the question, "Why didn't I think of that?!" Parastrophics is glamorous, funky and deep. No speakers exist that could display all the details of such manic production. Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner have been more than busy in the intervening years since the release of their last studio album as a duo, Varcharz (2006). They collaborated with The Fall's Mark E. Smith as s Von Sdenfed and released Tromatic Reflexxions on Domino. Both Toma and St. Werner produce independently for their Sonig label. St. Werner has worked on solo records under several monikers, written pieces for classical instrumentation and electronics, did music for installations, and acted as the artistic director of the Amsterdam Institute for Electronic Music, steim. Toma has produced Moondog, Stereolab, Junior Boys and The Fall, amongst others. One of their most recent projects Paeanumnion has been as unique as the rest of their career - an orchestral piece which didn't play by any of the rules. As St. Werner said, "it was a way for us to carry on being an electronic band, only without electronics". As ever, he was not being entirely serious. Both Jan and Andi were on stage throughout this hourlong voyage, playing their own digitally-crafted sounds and processing the orchestra at the same time. For this event Mouse on Mars have created their own musical software which they also used for the production of Parastrophics.Grinspoon "Black Rabbits" Tour
Thursday, 18th April 2013
Newcastle Panthers
Grinspoon, one of Australiaâs most loved live rock bands are hitting the road and coming your way.
In September this year they released their seventh studio album, 'Black Rabbits' which made its ARIA chart debut at #8. It's only fitting that with the release of a new album and now 7 Top Ten albums under their belt that the band gets back on the road and tour.
The Lismore-born quartet - Front man Phil Jamieson, Guitarist Pat Davern, Drummer Kristian Hopes and Bassist Joe Hansen - burst onto the national music scene in 1995 via a string of hits which later appeared on their 1997 debut album, Guide To Better Living. Across their career the band have amassed album sales of 500, 000 copies in Australia, including multiple platinum certifications and the ARIA award for 'Best Rock Album' in 2005 for Thrills, Kills & Sunday Pills.
Grinspoon kick off 2013 playing the Big Day Out shows across the country in January with a special 'All Hits' set with just a couple of new tracks thrown in.
In March the band embark on their National 'Black Rabbits' headline tour which will be a whole new live show for fans who've experienced the explosion of energy, sound and good time rock 'n roll that is Grinspoon. These shows will be the longest set the band have ever played, with a mix of everyone's favourites and a healthy selection of new tunes from the new album, 'Black Rabbits'
This is a series of shows not to be missed for old & new Grinspoon fans!
Birds of Tokyo - March Fires 2013 Tour
Friday, 15th March 2013
Newcastle Panthers
Australiaâs epic Birds of Tokyo announced today that their fourth full-length studio album will be called âMarch Firesâ. Appropriately, the highly anticipated work will land on March 1, 2013.
The band's recent release of the four-track EP 'This Fire' and a handful of special preview shows (including a barnstorming set at the Homebake Festival) have provided fans with their first taste of the new Birds of Tokyo.The EP's lead track has been one of the most requested and most played songs on the triple j network over recent weeks, and is still climbing the national airplay chart. The award winning Kris Moyes directed its unique video.
For Birds of Tokyo, the last year has been all about change and renewal and that experience is infused throughout their new album.
First there was the addition of two new members (Glenn Sarangapany on keys and Ian Berney on bass). Then for various reasons the three original members (Ian Kenny - vocals, Adam Spark - guitars and Adam Weston - drums) all relocated from their hometown of Perth to new cities across the eastern seaboard. After that they consciously reinvented their approach to songwriting with a new Sydney studio space plus time spent together in a remote French farmhouse helping to blaze new trails. And if that wasn't enough, they then went to Los Angeles to record with both a new producer, Dave Cooley (Silversun Pickups) and a new mixer, Tony Hoffer (M83, Beck, The Kooks, Belle & Sebastian).
"We really made a conscious choice to just put a match to everything we'd done before so that we could create something that felt fresh and exciting for us. Hopefully people who like the band will feel the same way when they hear it", explains Adam Spark.
Over the course of their first two studio albums (2007's "Day One" and 2008's "Universes") Birds of Tokyo carved out a niche for guitar driven anthems. Lots of touring around Australia gradually turned them into indie chart toppers. Their eponymous third release in 2010 shifted things up a gear with double platinum certifications and hit singles "Plans" and "Wild At Heart". They received songwriting awards from APRA, had their work voted "Rock Album Of The Year" by their peers and then capped it all off by winning the publicly voted gong as "Most Popular Australian Artist" at the 2011 ARIA Awards.
Not surprisingly their heads were swimming. But rather than milk a formula they decided to throw themselves into new ways of being a band. Burnt it down. Started again.
The result is 'March Fires'.The album's title directly reflects its phoenix-like conception plus in the northern hemisphere the March fires are typically a natural source of renewal each spring.
Don't miss Birds of Tokyolive in 2013 as they launch 'March Fires'from coast to coast. Stay tuned for much, much more.
