LES REINES PROCHAINES (ft. Pipilotti Rist) - WICKED GAMES

My favorite cover ever !

Les Reines prochaines are a female band from Switzerland. The artist Pipilotti Rist played with them from 1988 to 1995 and made this video for the song called "Opfer dieses Liedes", covering Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game".

alice news : TAAK_TAK PARTY

« Tak_Taak » is the association of two friends of mine, who created the Central Services and Circus Maximus Broadcasting on Jet FM.
They will mixing tonight at the Lieu Unique, Nantes.

Presentation in french only
Central Services et Swarzbingo, qui voguent hors des sentiers battus, préfèrent toutes les formes musicales hybrides et inadéquates. Un voyage "cosmic" pour un dancefloor mental et physique !
Le bar du lieu unique accueille une résidence bi-mensuelle dédiée aux sons décalés, hybrides.
Pour cette 1ère soirée du samedi 18 octobre 2008 de la saison au bar du lieu unique, l’association nantaise Tak_Taak pose les larges bases musicales qu’elle défend et affectionne en proposant une longue flânerie électronique en forme de mix dans lequel CENTRAL SERVICES et SCHWARZBINGO feront se croiser des classiques du Krautrock, de l’Electro, de la House, et de la Techno, en les saupoudrant de curiosités musicales d’hier et d’avant-hier.

TONIGHT IS KUBIN'S NIGHT

I'm waiting, listening to MATKI WANDALKI (2004) - RS

>> UPDATE<<
Organized by The Brain, the concert should have happened in a in a supposedly underground place of Nantes. So, it looked like an underground place, full of ex-fine arts students and supposed fashionistas, in the new city's nightlife area.
We are waiting for Kubin, The Brain is mixing some lo-fi electronics from 10 pm to midnight...but Kubin is still drinking beers with people of the audience and a new DJ come to mixing... I am not there for dancing or hearing another crap set, so I left. Very disappointing.

SONIC YOUTH - SYR 7 & 8

Both of these Sonic Youth Recordings series albums were released in 2008.
Thanks to the now defunct unblogandalou.blogspot.com

SYR7: J'Accuse Ted Hughes/Agnès B. Musique is the seventh release in American group Sonic Youth's SYR series (40 min).
LINK - MEDIAFIRE

SYR8: Andre Sider Af Sonic Youth is an album by Sonic Youth with Mats Gustafsson and Merzbow. It is the eighth release in the SYR series. The album title is in Danish and means "Other sides of Sonic Youth".
This is taken from a live show which features full band improv. Players leave the stage one at a time until Merzbow is left. Then he makes some noises. Then he leaves.

Live review : SONIC YOUTH + SUNBURNED HAND OF THE MAN

The post-industrial city of Saint-Nazaire, near Nantes, well-known for his ship-building port and his former german submarine base, hosted last summer the exhibition called The SONIC YOUTH etc. : SENSATIONAL FIX dedicated to the connexions between Sonic Youth and various visual artists, designers and musicians (Vito Acconci, Dan Graham, Richard Prince, Cindy Sherman, John Miller, Christian Marclay, Tony Oursler, Richard Kern, Patti Smith, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, John Cage, Glenn Branca, Mike Kelley, Raymond Pettibon, Cameron Jamie, Tacita Dean and Michael Morley, among others...)

At the opening, we could see the four members of SN and some Sunburned's freaks among the visitors. I don't like the openings, but some friends told me SY would play a show there to mark the event with Sunburned Hand of The Man. So, with some friends and a little excitement, here I am... No pictures, no vids, no tape recordings... It was the most powerfull concert I see, better than the Whitehouse one, and, maybe, than the TG one ! The best show of the year !
First, Moore, Gordon and SHOTM's drummer played together, then, Gordon left and one after another the members of SHOTM came to stage, followed by Ranaldo and Malcolm Morley... Electricity, energy, noise and tension rose to a deafening din, a chamanic trance and a final guitar battle. Absolutely astonishing.

The exhibit is now held at Museion, Bolzano from October 11th 2008 to January 4th , and will also go to Dusseldorf, Germany (1/31-4/26/09), Malm, Sweden (5/29-9/20/09).

ROBERT HAIGH TRUTH CLUB/FOTE (1980-1981)

I re-up this post with new material : truth club/fote ep + truth club's track from United Dairies's "Hoisting The Black Flag" compilation.

Truth Club - Sleight / Fote - Looking For Lost Toy (7" LeRey 1980)
Truth Club et Fote sont deux projets de Robert Haigh (Sema, Omni Trio) avec le percussionniste Trevor Reidy (collaborateur de Stapleton dans les premiers disques de NWW).
Peu de choses à part ce single, sinon un morceau sur la compilation Hoisting The Black Flag sur United Dairies.
A classer dans les raretés de la scène expérimentale et industrielle du début des années 1980.
Truth Club and Fote are two Robert Haigh's aliases, less known that his Sema or Omni trio projects. Here, Robert Haigh worked with early Nurse With Wound drummer Trevor Reidy. Thruth Club appeared in the United Dairies compilation Hoisting The Black Flag.
An early industrial rarity.
