 November 2006 Archives - We have removed all clickable links from our archives - The archives house only a selection from each of our 11.30.06 3 STACKS OF HIGH SOCIETY Reggae / Ska / Soul Official description: "Made from solid members of Rude King and The 9 Spot comes a sweet injection of Reggae and Ska with a dash of Soul and devilishly good looks. The band formed in late March '06 and has already started tearing up the stages of Chicago!" 3 Stacks Of High Society are currently working on a 5-song demo. Watch their website for updates. We really enjoyed their music clips 'Girl I'm Gonna Make You Mine' and 'My Island'. Listen to them now by visiting myspace.com/3stacksmusic. We bet they're a really fun band live! 11.30.06 I WAS A CUB SCOUT'S NEW SINGLE "Fresh out of Nottingham, I Was A Cub Scout are two 17-year old hardcore souls - William Bowerman and Todd Marriott - who have spent the last 6 months putting on their own gigs at club nights and house parties up and down the country. I Was A Cub Scout make pummelling punk rock pop disc-o. it's part Minus The Bear, part "digital ash"-era Oberst, but most importantly they are a fresh take on star gazing, dreamy, Indie Electronica." - XL Recordings Check out the video for their new single, 'Pink Squares', by visiting www.youtube.com.

We know some of you will have bought the limited release last year and we really appreciate it, but it's not the same release as that so you needn't fear buying the same thing. It's backed with a new song called 'Eliza Glow' that we're very pleased with and a new remix by Ben Allen that we think's great stuff, and there's a brand new video (on the cd it's good quality - you may have seen a rather pixellated version of it on our page!). We figured we'd make it a bit more fun than the average trip to the local shop or online purchase, so we've decided to run a little competition for those of you that buy it in the first week of release (i.e December 4th-10th). Basically, once you buy it you'll have a receipt - we'd like you to scan it / photograph it / etc. (whatever's fine as long as we can see you bought our single) and send it to us at whiterosemovement@googlemail.com. Once you've done that you'll be in with a chance of winning: - One of only 5 armbands like Owen and Jasper wear onstage - sewn by Jasper in his free time from a pair of Owen's trousers no less, and these are specially for this competition and won't ever appear on the merch table. - One of only 5 WRM logo enamel badges - perfect for your blazer, bag, whatever... limited edition of only 100 from earlier in the year, again much like the armbands if you don't have one this is the only way to get one! - One of 18 rare club promo whitelabels of LIAN, handstamped on one side and signed by all of us on the other... - One of 10 christmas cards signed by us to you with White Rose love.
PLEASE NOTE! The conditions and so on... everyone that sends in their proof of purchase will get put in a Excel list, and this gives them a number. Prizes will be given out through the random number generator at random.org so it makes no difference when you buy it in the first week of sale as long as you buy it. Some people will win, others won't - apologies to those of you that don't, if we could afford to give something to each of you we would." - White Rose Movement 11.29.06 SILLY BUNNY Powerpop / Down-tempo / Electronica Partial official description: "Born in the West - cowboys and horses, migrated East - Avenue Emile Zola, Paris, then North - Haarlem, The Netherlands, then West - Wisconsin on the Great Lakes, then East - Fairfield County Connecticut, then West again .... Hate all of the technical part of making Music, but love the sounds technology can make. Love to travel, love to tour, love to meet new people, love to play live, love cool fashion, especially mod style." Well, we first need to tell you that Robert from Silly Bunny has impeccable taste in music! Second, we love their style, their sound, and the fact that they use some vintage instruments (such as an older set of Ludwig drums).
Check out all of these great tunes: 'Monkey Grinder', 'PR Junky', 'Band Last Night', and a version of 'I Started A Joke' that they should be very proud of. 11.29.06 NEW WEBSITE LOOK FOR BEAR COLONY Electro / Experimental / Indie Official message: "As you may have noticed, our Myspace page has undergone a little change to fit with the album release... the artwork was done by none other than the great Jesse LeDoux! We are very excited with what he has done!" It's really awesome, btw.
"Also, there are 3 NEW mixed and mastered songs off of our debut 'We Came Here To Die' which you can listen to... so please check that out!" - Bear Colony 11.28.06 INTRODUCING UBERBYTE Industrial / Gothic / Electro "The home of KM Rikky's new and ultra dark electro project Uberbyte. Feel free to pop round and hear / download the free MP3's of new material. You might regret it. It'll give you nightmares." - Killing Miranda Official description: "The electronic brain leakage of the vocalist from one of the UK's most notorious and controversial acts. Dark, pounding electro for your head." We like what we've heard so far! 11.28.06 OFFICIAL RAT SCABIES EBAY AUCTION
We received this message: "And for those of you that would like to take a peek at "Rats big red one" - click below." We wanted further confirmation that this was indeed an official Rat Scabies (The Damned) Ebay auction. Anyway, this is the response we got: "Chill dudes... I'm only selling a trash can, and yes I am he." Cheers, Rat. S. Laughs. We were a little excited. So, if you want to own a red retro trashcan that belonged to Rat Scabies, click the link above. We'd bid but it's cash only and we're stuck in the U.S. 11.28.06 PEOPLE IN PLANES NEWS Alternative / Rock / Progressive Official message: "Hello folks, we're back on the radar.

Every date has been sold out and we've had an awesome time and hope those of you who came to the shows enjoyed them as much as we did ! We'll be back around the UK early next year (more news on this soon) as well as finally playing to our fans in Europe with dates in January to be confirmed soon. We are making a few shows in Paris on the 10th at Le Boule Noire and on the 25th at Amsterdam Paradiso but we had to get back in studio to finish recording new songs for next year. This year has been amazing for us all round and we really appreciate the support we've had from everyone, not least of which the messages we get from you guys on Myspace which we do get to read but can only occasionally get time to respond to some if not everyone.
We'll see you all around very soon, if not in 2006 then in 2007 and we're looking forward to playing more new material for everyone. Keep safe!"

We thought we'd offer you a rough mix of one of the new-never-before-heard tracks. Download it and then message us to let us know what you think." www.myspace.com/thesalteens 11.24.06 BLIND DIVINE Trip Hop / Down-tempo / Ambient Official description: "Spooky, ambient, and hauntingly erotic, sultry female vocals and strange landscapes are the cure for chronic insomniacs, hypochondriacs, and patients of psychotherapy. Understated and overrated." Blind Divine released two albums this year. 'Desire To Destroy' and 'Music For Unmade Movies, Vol. 1'. Both sound completely different from one another. The latter is mysterious & unnerving and 'Desire To Destroy' is lush and relaxing. Both are very interesting and enjoyable pieces of work!

1) Fat folk love music too. Sorry, about the above remark - but the hard truth, in a very generalized way, is this: while the French ride their bicycles with baguettes in their baskets we drive cars with briefcases of White Castle cheeseburgers on the seats. I know this, my husband and I were guilty of that last night and it wasn't a first. 2) If you are going to cut in front of people in the audience, please mind their drinks. Be a little more courteous. And for God sakes, watch those cigarettes if you still have the right to puff. 3) Don't be afraid to dress as you would normally dress. I was one of two people in pink at Morrissey last night. So frickin' what?
* It was easy for my friends to find 11.22.06 MORRISSEY / KRISTEEN YOUNG CHICAGO CONCERT REVIEW I went to the Morrissey and Kristeen Young concert at the Aragon in Chicago last night. Took 4 hours to get to the venue and I got only three hours of sleep. However, it was completely worth it of course! The review can be found by clicking here. 11.21.06 NEW HENRY ROLLINS BOOK A Dull Roar: The full title is A Dull Roar (What I Did On My Summer Deracination). When my old band mates and I decided that after not playing together since 1997, we were going to get back together and tour in the summer of 2006, I figured there might be some good stories to tell. So, in March I started a journal to document the four months I allotted myself to prepare mentally and physically for the tour and also the tour itself. During this period, I finished the 2nd season of my show on The Independent Film Channel, worked in the film Wrong Turn 2, performed at the Download Festival in England and made trips in and out of New York City for band practice and press. As I have in the past, I overworked, underslept, blew out joints and generally had a swell time. The tour itself had its shares of ups and downs, which are documented in the book.
I know what some of you are thinking, and no, it's not the Dispatches
file. For fans of my books Broken Summers and Smile You're Traveling, you may find this book to your liking. We printed a limited 1st edition of 1000 copies that will differentiate itself from the rest of the
press run by having a different colored cover, a signed & numbered title
page and the coolest part (to me anyway) is the flexibound cover. This
book will not be at retail for a long time, if ever." 11.21.06 SYD BARRETT AUCTION Cheffins Auction House in Cambridge (England) will be auctioning off some items from Syd Barrett's Cambridge estate on November 29th & 30th.
A partial official description: "Both his bikes, which he had used every day in Cambridge for visits to the local shops and pub were hand painted by Syd and will be included in this sale as will several pieces of furniture which Syd customised or made himself, he was passionate about, although not always competent at, DIY. Other items will include the easel, paints and paint table which Syd used regularly to paint." - Cheffins
11.20.06 BURDEN BROTHERS Rock / Alternative / Pop Partial official description: "Mercy. It’s a concept musicians only have a passing familiarity with, since they are only rarely afforded it. But they know the drill going in. Once you decide to become a musician, you’re stuck for life. You’re always a musician, whether you’re kicking out the jams or breaking up the band, whether you’re awaiting the next high or weathering the latest low. That’s the way it goes. That is your burden."
Burden Brothers features ex-Toadies frontman Vaden Todd Lewis. They've recently released their album 'Mercy'.

"Conceived by Phil Owen the CEO of industrial bump and grind, known best for his previous efforts with Skatenigs, Choreboy and his work with Al Jourgensen in the industrial super-group the Revolting Cocks." BTW - How crazy is this? We received the following MySpace message with the subject line "Lucky Winner": "You are Snow Black's 666 friend. You will recieve a prize. I'm just not sure what it is yet as the Snow Black snowdomes are not ready yet. We will celebrate!" Phildo
11.18.06 45 GRAVE – NOW YOU KNOW Punk / Gothic / Metal Partial official message: "What's in a name? Now, lots of people have guessed what the name (45 Grave) means. Some of them are extremely entertaining. The story goes: Don and I were shopping on Fairfax, by Fairfax High. We went to the thrift store and found a button that read GRAVES 45. It must have been a football player from Fairfax. It was the school's colors. We had just finished Riboflavin amd LAFMS wanted a band name for the track. We never thought about it. We played music for fun. Throwing names back and forth, Don pulled out the button. GRAVES 45. mmmmmm. Paul switched it to 45 GRAVES. It sounded better. I took the 'S' off. 45 GRAVE. I'm spooky. So the name was submitted to LAFMS and 45 GRAVE was born." 11.18.06 THE SHORT BUS NOW ROCKS It's about damn time the "Short Bus" gets to be cool! Here are 5 bands on MySpace named "SHORT BUS _____(something)_____":
1. Short Bus Romeo
2. Short Bus Rejects
3. Short Bus Pile Up
4. Short Bus Bandits
5. Short Bus Window Lickers 11.18.06 WHITE DEMONS Rock "White Demons shows are events that teeter on the brink of chaos, but are held in command by a combo of raw power and dynamic musicianship. On stage, Nick K. transforms into a rock and roll preacher, belting out songs that are soul shaking sermons, punctuated by twisted demon howls that sound like Doritos in a blender on frappé. In end of 2005, the band finally captured this live energy and giant sound in the studio. Lightning in a bottle of Tequila. The result is 'Say Go', a ten song shot of adrenalin released by Sonic Swirl Records." - Sonic Swirl These guys totally rock! Like the majority of bands these days, they also have a MySpace site. So, visit www.myspace.com/whitedemons to listen to some of their music clips. 11.17.06 NEW WOLFMEN SINGLE Rock / Experimental / Punk Official message: "'Kama Sutra' is the debut single from The Wolfmen, following hot on the heels of August’s limited edition 'Jackie Says' EP. Damaged Goods – the label that brought you the Manic Street Preachers and, more recently, Holly Golightly – says there’s “a bit of a T-Rex flavour” to 'Kama Sutra' and calls the B-side, 'TV’s On John Wayne’s Been Shot Again', “a mad 2 minute punk techno noise fest.”" Wolfmen are Marco Pirroni (Adam & The Ants, Siouxsie And The Banshees, The Models,... ) and Chris Constantinou (JackieOnAssid, Drill, Adam Ant,... ) . 11.17.06 NEW YORK ALCOHOLIC ANXIETY ATTACK & JOOLZ TONIGHT Official message: "'Bradford Beat Happening: The two-year collaboration between award-winning novelist, poet, visual artist, tattooist and spoken word maven Joolz ('the UK's Patti Smith') and the rock band New York Alcoholic Anxiety Attack, fronted by charismatic young poet-lyricist Mik Davis, is unique in the worlds of literature and music; for an artiste of Joolz' maturity and standing to work so closely and so long with an upcoming band demonstrates the tremendous power of her commitment to brilliant new talent, to the excellence and musical creativity of the band itself and Joolz' legendary ability to speak across generations, gender, cultures and lifestyles. It is incredibly rare to see a genuine, authentic, non-corporate, counter-culture project not funded by governmental grants or record/publishing/publicity company interests but sustained over a long period by mutual respect and a love of creativity for its own sake. And they get a lot of fun out of it too. So this show sees one of the UK's most enduring polymathic artistic talents working alongside one of the UK's hottest young rock bands each playing their own sets and also collaborating on numbers together. Winner."
11/17/2006 08:00 11.17.06 THE GATHERING Other / Rock / Ambient Partial official description: "Confronted with the unavoidable sensory overload and the galloping synchronisation of senses it is getting increasingly difficult to invent sounds and melodies that are standing individually for themselves and only for themselves without going into extremes. The Dutch band The Gathering has accomplished just that achievement with their ninth album 'Home'. But up to that piece of art, it took them a long way full of creative skinning, self-conquest and a strong striving towards perfection of sound." We really like these guys! Check out some great music clips, like 'Alone' and 'Your Troubles Are Over' (both are from their 2006 album, 'Home'), visiting by www.myspace.com/gatheringofficial. 11.16.06 BLACK STROBE Electronic "'Shining Bright Star' by Black Strobe (PlayLouderecordings): Much more to come from the dark, dingy, Parisian electronic duo known as Black Strobe. Lovers of Justice, DFA 1979 and Rammstein.... hold on to your American apparel. As a teaser, we're releasing this single in the US but get your hands on the re-mix album if you can find it. Podcast is live at remixblackstrobe.com." - Beggars Banquet Partial official band description: "Over the years, Black Strobe have remixed everyone from Nitzer Ebb to Rammstein, Bloc Party to Royksopp.
Their "doom disco" style has ignited dance-floors with singles such as 'Inner Strings', 'Me and Madonna', and this year's club smash 'Last Dub On Earth'. The duo have subsequently earned a unique place in the shadowy hallways of popular music." 11.16.06 BLACK TAPE FOR A BLUE GIRL: OUT-OF-PRINT TEES!
Official message: "Hi. Our T-shirt printer in Omaha found a few copies of our 1999 tour shirt in their warehouse. I retrieved them for you, because people are always asking about our older (out-of-print) shirts... Available in XL-Large or Large, the supply is really limited, so if you want one you should grab it immediately." - Black Tape For A Blue Girl 11.16.06 SUGARCULT MESSAGE Rock / Alternative / Punk Official partial message: "Wassup rockers! Greetings from the South (today we're in Charlotte, SC); today was a good day: I awoke to news that our next single ('Los Angeles') got added early to one of the best radio stations in America, San Francisco's Live 105fm, which means they will stick it in their playlist and see what happens... Later in the day, Tim and I did a radio station visit in Charlotte where we signed a give-away guitar for a canned food drive contest (I wrote on it in bold letters, "THIS MACHINE WILL GET YOU LAID!" The real highlight of the day was when me, Tim, and that dude Vasquez, the bassist of Damone (who joined our tour yesterday) walked a few blocks to this totally authentic, locally owned fried chicken joint called the Chicken Coup and scored the crispiest, greasiest, yummiest dinner ever; the lady who took my order had to be pushing 90, and I dig old people in general, so I was happy!
Hopefully by now you've checked out my side-project band Bad Astronaut;
our 3rd record just came out yesterday on Fat Wreck Chords it's called
'12 Small Steps, One Giant Disappointment'. I'm really proud of it, so
come on people now pick up a copy or seek it out online and give it a
nice loud listen." Cheers, Marko and the greasy chickens known professionally as Sugarcult 11.15.06 YETI Indie / Alternative Yeti are 5 guys from London, England.

I've been keeping a tour journal in our blog, you should go check it out. It contains lots of fun facts and stories about our time on the road, as well as pictures. We now have a few weeks off and then we're back on the road again. We'll be doing a bunch of midwest shows with the band +/- including two at Schubas (18+ and 21+) on 11/25, followed by our first ever shows in Canada, more East Coast shows, and then finally a trip down south. We've never been there either. All confirmed shows are on our page but many more will be added soon. I have also been trying to add a fourth song to our page but for some reason it won't upload. I'm frustrated, but I have a feeling it will all work out eventually." - Love,
Rob (The Changes) 11.14.06 BLOC PARTY CANCELS U.S. DATES Official message: "Bloc Party has cancelled of the remainder of their current US tour with Panic! at the Disco due to Matt Tong's health after being admitted to an Atlanta hospital with a collapsed lung last Thursday night.

We checked out some music clips from their new EP, 'A Tale Is Just A Lie'. We think it's fantastic! The melodies are gorgeous and the vocals are lush - almost having a Bryan Ferry quality at times. 'Cigarettes' and 'Happy End' are favorites of ours thus far. 11.10.06 PACKABASTARDS Rock Making music that means something. If you like Emo we ain't for you.

As the amazing 05/06 tour begins drawing to a close, we are happy to present you with one final pre-order for this run of shows. Conceived as a bootleg shirt on the streets of Mexico, our final event shirt of the year was adopted by the Stones security crew and, at the suggestion of Charlie Watts, has now been adapted into an ultra-cool shirt for the fans. Once the shirt was discovered during the run to Mexico, the security crew began sporting these black-tongue-on-black tees for the rest of the tour. Now you can get your own-which will also feature an explosion on back with Dodger Stadium event info. Plus, we have taken the black tongue and fashioned it into a commemorative pin to complete the set. Pre-order the shirt and the pin together for only $35. As with all pre-orders, we don't expect this shirt to be available at retail stores, so you need to get it here. We'll be shipping orders out on Monday, November 20, so if you select Express Shipping, you should get your shirt on the 22nd, in time for sporting it at L.A.'s premiere event of the season: the Rolling Stones in concert! This pre-order will close at 3 PM EST on November 20, so get your order in now.
It is, of course, hard to show you exactly how distinctive this black-on-black tongue looks on your computer screen, so you'll have to trust us when we say that this is what the insiders of L.A. will be wearing. It's your chance to flaunt the tongue in public, while keeping it on the down low." Thanks,
Rolling Stones camp 11.09.06 SHOW TAPER LIGHTS HIMSELF ON FIRE – ANTI-WAR PROTEST?

Their groundbreaking album 'God Of Hell' in 2004 earned them a place of respect on the dark dance floors of North America. For fans clamoring for new material and those yet to experience the world of The Retrosic, the end is here! 'Nightcrawler' is ten tracks of aggressive sonic mayhem.
From the moment the perfectly titled opening track 'Unleash Hell' hits you, you realize how destructive the force is that you have knowingly let loose in your world. The album bulldozes its way from start to finish, with each track harder and more forceful than the one before it. Songs like 'Revolution,' 'Desperate Youth,' and 'The Lucky Ones' will obliterate any dance floor with the power of 10,000 nuclear warheads. No-one is safe. There’s no where to hide. Nightcrawler is coming for you!" - Metropolis 11.06.06 JESUS & MARY CHAIN The Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Psychocandy' was re-released as a Dual-Disc in July, featuring videos as well.

"The band’s 1985 wall-of-sound debut masterpiece 'Psychocandy' features the signature classics 'Just Like Honey,' 'My Little Underground,' 'You Trip Me Up,' and 'Never Understand.' DVD Side features High Resolution Stereo plus videos for 'Just Like Honey,' 'You Trip Me Up,' and 'Never Understand'." - Amazon.com 11.04.06 CHECK OUT THESE BANDS Charming Prince

11.04.06 JOHANN JOHANNSSON "Johann Johannsson is an Icelandic composer and musician whose elegiac, gradually-evolving music is spellbinding in its beauty. His first full-length release for 4AD - called 'IBM 1401, A User's Manual' - is available now. The album, which is made up of five long movements, was recorded at Barrandov Studios, Smecky Soundstage in Prague with a 60 piece string orchestra.

11.02.06 NEW LIVE CURE DVD Official message: "In 2005 a nascent Cure trio of Robert Smith, Simon Gallup and Jason Cooper celebrated the return of former guitarist Porl Thompson with a series of nine eclectic headline festival shows across Europe. The quartets unique blend of passion and power proved to be a thrilling combination, and the summer set a new benchmark for Cure live highs. 'Festival 2005' presents a selection of these performances captured by a mix of fans, crew and on-the-night-big-screen cameras. Edited by Daren Butler and mixed by Keith Uddin in collaboration with Robert Smith, this 30 song DVD is a wonderful reminder of how and why The Cure remain one of the most vibrant bands on the planet."
To be released in late November. |

Since I'm the type of person who enjoys full albums (records that take me on a journey, teach me, have something special to say), I've tried to capture this with both Tweaker records. Where the first album dealt with one concept (one man's journey through life to find contentment), '2 a.m. Wakeup Call' is more of a concept within a concept." These guys have an amazing sound.

NP -New Pornographers  SCREAMING BLUE MESSIAHS Totally Religious Screaming Blue Messiah's 'Totally Religious' album was originally released in 1989. The Screaming Blue Messiahs were one of my very favorite bands during high school and college. You may recall the more popular songs from this album: 'Big Big Sky', 'Mega City 1', 'Four Engines Burning', and 'Watusi Wedding'. My personal favorite from the album is 'Wall Of Shame'. Unfortunately, for the last several years their stuff has not been re-released, leaving you to pay a hefty fee for a near mint to mint cd (when you can find it) via Ebay or from individual Amazon sellers. 'Gun Shy' and 'Bikini Red', two of their other albums, currently tend to sell in the range of $45 to $175 each. |
