According to Jamie Reynolds of Klaxons -
"Yes, we were asked to re-record part of the album."
Why, you may ask?
"Because we've made a really dense, psychedelic record. We've made a really heavy record and it isn't the right thing for us, I understand and know that. First and foremost we're a pop band. I haven't thought about that for a long time, and now it's in the forefront of my mind."

I love me a bit of Klaxons and this is the sound of someone up against the ropes. Initially it's the kind of thing that'd generate cries of "sell out" from the proles but in this case I think his, probably well considered, words are fairly damning towards their label who are seemingly more interested in spreadsheets rather than any artisitc integrity. No real surprise there, but it's not usually the kind of thinking that makes it into the public domain so kudos to Reynolds for sardonically making a point. With any luck these missing sessions will find their way onto the magical interwebs and we can all enjoy their heavy, day-glo trippiness...

If a friend has been made redundant from his job at Ebay, would it be fair to say that they've been "outbid"???

Heads up folk, the next UNHOLY will be ripping off your ears on Friday 22nd May. The Godlike triumvirate will be DJing at select points thru the night playing everything from our bespoke industrial sounds to mixing it up a bit with some electro, 80's and feck knows what else we can pull out of the bag. Hope to see some/all of you there...
Brap on!

There are a few bands and artists that majorly shaped my formative years and I still <3 to this very day including NIN, Skinny Puppy, Jean Michel Jarre and GWAR, so it's with a massive smile on my face that I present the following, shamelessly stolen from www.gwar.net and direct from the filth hole of Oderus Urungus..

For some time I have devoted my leisure activity to a long-cherished goal, that of fucking a living blue-whale. Many carcasses I had violated in search of this inane pleasure, and it was good, until I realized that once again The Masters was on. In recent years I have relished the rape and murder of international golfing celebrities at what is undoubtedly golf's most prestigious event. Despite the PGA's denial of my wrath (they only show heavily-edited footage), I recently descended on Augusta and left nothing but corpses in my wake. Indeed, Tiger Woods butchered carcass was served at the Champions Banquet, and I made Fuzzy Zoeller eat it! And also my dick...


But all pleasures soon bore, so I was relieved beyond belief that we recently began work on our new album, "LUST IN SPACE". Once again the brothers GWAR have been joined in the creation of what can only be described as the new thing that we are working on.

What tales will we tell? What wrath shall unfold? Once GWAR rose from the depths of Hell, carrying the skewered head of Jewcifer as our battle standard, to return to the surface world and embrace whatever fate had prepared for them, what the hell happened? Well, rest assured that I am not going to tell you a thing...except that when GWAR's 25th Anniversary Re-birth on Earth epic product cycle begins to drop, it's going to be nothing less than the greatest record, show, and assortment of other things you can blow ALL your money on!

It's been a while, I know. I throw up a whole 2 LJ posts in one morning and then nothing for weeks. Yes, I'm scum, but what can you do?
Here be the long awaited setlist from last weekends Antichrist, which also featured a corking live set from Altrered, who are growing nicely into their new skin. Big up, big up, etc... On with the setlist, I guess....

What you get when you combine Pac Man and a crazy Frenchman...




The awesomeness of Remi Gaillard in full effect... Jacques Tati would doubtlessly approve.

Shamelessly stolen from Jared's Facebook yap this morning...
www.myspace.com/chemlab
Check out the all-new Latin Saint remix of 'Binary Nation', the perfect way to start a sunny Monday morning...

Whereupon it transpired that every Prodigy track featuring Keith Flint could be improved by swapping his vocals for those by Zippy from Rainbow...
Smack My Bungle Up, anyone?

As always, thanks to those that dared/bothered to head out for the pre-Easter UNHOLY spectacular, always good to see new folk down, especially Marks B & C and Jair D.
As well as the usual industrial chaos I got a chance to spin choons under my alter-ego - Working Class Heroes, which is a tad more rock than folks would generally expect, but what can you do?.
Without further ado, here be the setlists, but you know it's been a good night when you can get away with closing a set with some industrial strength mambo... Win!
