1/Intro: TRANSISTOR SIX – Backyard Rocketship
(Blackbean & Placenta) – Our adopted theme tune so you know where
you are. Transistor Six is Frances Castle, there’s lots of good looking
art and creativity to explore from Francis so please please do. You can
now get the whole tune downloaded for yourselves and find links to her
artwork, albums, her new Hardy Tree project and lots more over at www.myspace.com/transistorsix
2: DEATH GRIPS – Guillotine
(download) – Death Grips are just about the most exciting
band/thing out there right now, regular Organ readers/listeners will
have noted that we’ve been going on about Zach Hill’s forward looking
hip-hop flavoured thrill ride rather a lot since the first bit of sound
started to emerge. Our excuse for playing more tonight is that glorious
fact that they’ve just announced their debut UK dates. Things kick off
in London on September 25th, more details, links, downloads and more
here - organthing229.html
3: MIRANDA – Honk Honk, The Way We Grew With Comics
(From Scratch) - Kind of out there on their very own frenetic edge,
Miranda are a frantic new wave no wave this wave that wave three piece
from Italy, This is their third spiky punchy album - Growing Heads
Above The Roof - they’re a drum, synth and bass player kind of
operation, their songs are jagged, pointy, edgy, intense, their sound
is different. Full Organ review, links and more here - organthing226.html
4 MR STERILE ASSEMBLY – Transit
(Skirted) – They’re essentially a two piece from New Zealand (with lots
of additional guests adding details), they’re a rather unique New Wave
flavoured thing somewhere between the floating anarchy of Gong and the
progressive punk of Crass with touches of bands such as Devo, The Ex,
Dogface Hermans, Ring.. mere signposts of course, Mr Sterile Assembly
are uniquely good, and their latest album, Transit, is one of the best
albums to come our way this year, full review, links, videos and more
here - organthing224.html
5: DEATH GRIPS – Lord Of The Game (download) – See track 2
6: UT – Ampheta Speaks
(Mute) - New wave No wave flavoured New York cult legends Ut have just
announced their first UK tour in 20 years…. News of Ut touring should
always be greeted with a glow of pleasure, they are one of those
slightly different bands...Ut set out on a UK tour this September with
a series of dates that include London’s Lexington on 23 September. Ut
were formed by Nina Canal, Jacqui Ham and Sally Young in New York City
in December 1978. Sprung from the downtown No Wave scene, inheriting
the fertile collision between rock, free jazz and the avant garde that
first manifested somewhere near the velver underground. Full UK dates,
details, links and more here - organthing227.html
7: MARIA & THE MIRRORS – Blond September
(PLR) – A revisit to the excellent Travel Sex EP Maria and the Mirrors
put out back in June of this year. Played tonight because the rather
impressively unpredictable experimental new wave three piece play a gig
alongside Teeth Of The Sea and Gum Takes Tooth, at Madam JoJo’s in
deepest Soho, London, this coming Tuesday 9th August. More details here

8: CRO-MAGS – Malfunction
(download) – Old school New York hardcore punk/metal crossover pioneers
Cro-Mags are in London town this coming Monday 8th August, or at least
a version of said legends, they’re at the Camden underworld, any excuse
for a blast of classic slice from their Age Of Quarrel album in the
shape of Malfunction over the London airwaves. You can find this track
as a free download via www.cromags.com/ - Stop press, seems the version of Cro-Mags playing the Underworld tonight have cancelled.
9: SPLASHGIRL – Concerning This Square
(Hubro) – Splashgirl are a beautifully sublime experimental avant jazz
band from Norway and tonight we played a track from their forthcoming
third rather fine album Pressure... Full review of said album along
with details and links here - organthing228.html
10: MR STERILE ASSEMBLY – Jesus Heels The Blind (Skirted) – See track 4, another track from their most recent massively impressive album Transit.
11: RUDE MECHANICALS – Taxidermy
(Ex Gratia) More from the glorious mind of Miss Roberts and her unique
London band, a band who really do come up with shapes and colours that
a just a little different. Zappa at an English high tea party laced
with gin served by tube train driving aliens who could be called Derek?
They say “Rude Mechanicals are a Pan-dimensional Creature manifesting
itself in your reality as an Absurd Rock/Jazz/Punk Band consisting of
Miss Roberts and her symbiotic slaves. Dancing, lessons in Toe Sucking,
body fluid meditation and other complimentary therapies included. Come,
come now to my dark dark dark dark pit of...darkness, and wallow in
your decadent moistness....” More here - www.rudemechanicals.co.uk/
Rude
Mechanicals play “a small gig” at Unit 24 art gallery.20 Great
Guildford Street London SE1, this coming this Thursday August 11th at
the opening of Kevin Wayne’s solo exhibition “Left To Your Own Devices”
- unit24.info/cats-dogs/
12: IMAGINATION SCHOOL – Big Ship
- An unreleased piece of instrumental beauty from Imagination School, a
gloriously moving version of Cardiacs’ Big Ship that you can hear again
on the Imagination School website. You won’t find Big Ship on the
latest wonderful Imagination School album, The Savage Coast. The album
is neither classical music or rock music, just beautifully soothing
instrumental warmth, gentle full-bodied pastoral flow, atmospheric
melancholy, dark green leafy electronic soundscapes that really don’t
sound like mere electronic pieces. All rendolent of the smell and
feel of wide skies of the East Sussex coastline, where the Imagination
School lives. Full album review and links here - organthing220.html
13: CUTTHROAT CONVENTION – Gate 19
(Doubledgescissor) – London’s rather forthright, rather unique
Cutthroat Convention have just dropped a new album on us, only just
landed yesterday, not had time to explore it yet, sounds like they’re
as challenging as ever though. Catch the band and their violin drenched
heaviness at the Urban Bar, Whitechapel, East London this coming
Saturday August 13th. More from www.doubledgescissor.co.cc or www.myspace.com/cutthroatconvention
14: SUBHUMANS – Religious War
(Fat Wreck) – long-standing, free-thinking, forward-looking English
anarcho punk thinkers Subhumans are in town this Tuesday August 9th for
a gig at Camden’s Underworld. Keep up with all things Subhumans and
their sister band Citizen Fish vis their official site - www.citizenfish.com/. This live track is taken from the band’s Live In A Dive album released in U.S label Fat Wreck - www.fatwreck.com/record/detail/664
15: MR STERILE ASSEMBLY – Bug My Ride (Skirted) - – See track 4, another track from their most recent massively impressive album Transit.
16: IMAGINATION SCHOOL – Guided By Stars
(self release) – We closed tonight with a piece of music from the
latest Imagination School album, see track 12 for more details.
That’s
