Cult Of Youth are New York’s only post-industrial and neofolk collective. Having surpassed their humble beginnings as a one-man recording project, they have just returned from the studio where they have recorded their first record as a four piece (which will be their fourth vinyl release). Cult Of Youth carry on the traditions set forth by bands such as Death In June, Current 93, Coil, Psychic TV, or Einstürzende Neubauten, but manage to transcend mere mimicry and infuse into the genre their own personal mythology and sonic spectrum.”

“Being one of the hardest working DJs to cross genres through her 15+ year career behind the decks, California-born Star Eyes transcends the “look at that girl go!” game and has made a huge impact everywhere she has trotted with a single factor that makes us all androgynous: raw underground music. Now hailing from Brookyln, she is part of the notorious Trouble & Bass crew, and is responsible for slaughtering dancefloors across the globe with a unique mix of goth and rave influences whipped into a style she calls ‘haunted house.’” – Media Contender

08-06-10 / PENDU GALLERY featuring the art of RACHEL BLACKWELL

Pendu presents — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 19:25:15 +0000

August 6 -- August 27 / RACHEL BLACKWELL “Casting Out Nines” @ PENDU GALLERY
OPENING: 7PM-10PM, August 6 @ Pendu Gallery

Works will remain on view until August 27.
Gallery Hours by Appointment Tues–Sat 12pm-8pm
Contact: Todd Pendu // Send an EMAIL to make an appointment.

“This work centers on exorcism and of vital molting. There are depictions of the body surrounded by vicious, cannibalistic forces. There are images of places the body and the mind go to escape the psychic pressure of these influences. Witness the Battle of the Self against these mysterious and mystical, yet very real, forces. Their absolute and natural power! The times of transcendence are violent ones. “

Black Devil Disco Club -- H Friend (1978)

Black Devil Disco Club -- Open the Night (2008)
___
:::

“It’s taken a full thirty years for them to get round to it (well, so legend would have it, at any rate), but Bernard Fevre and Jacky Giordano at last complete their great Italo Disco trilogy, with this tremendous thirty-something minutes of electronic, dancefloor bliss. The album opens with a metallic, flanged drum sound, before some bongo business starts up to the right of the mix, and synths flood over everything else, immediately establishing the parameters of what you’re about to hear. The tagline that seems to be following this release around is “Salvador Dali meets Cerrone”, although quite what that means remains fairly unclear. While sure enough, abstract synth sounds and are called into use, there’s nothing particularly disposed towards the surreal, or the kind of psychological probing implied by the Dali reference. What this record does give you is a densely packed half hour or so of sonically ambitious electro disco, which in creative terms still sounds several steps ahead of so many of the producers who’ve emerged as Italo enthusiasts since that first Black Devil album (re-)emerged. Analogue discourses like ‘Free For The Girls’ and the brassy, effervescent ‘With Honey Cream’ are real winners, and it’s hard to imagine anyone who’s liked previous Black Devil outings, or indeed Luke Vibert’s Kerrier District material not loving these six excellent productions.”

Out in june 2010 : The Strange New World of Bernard Fèvre Remix album feat exclusives remixes of the 1975 masterpiece re-edited/re-issued in 2009. With remixes from Luke Vibert, Metronomy, Pilooski, Para One, Yo Majesty, Patrick Dawes (Groove Armada), Ricard Sen (Padded Cell), Emperor Machine…More to come..

Also Out in sept 2010 : The new Black Devil Disco Club record. Featuring Jon Spencer from the Blues Explosion, Trost from Cobra Killer, Nancy Fortune, Kim & Galaxy Birthday. More to come.

HUSSLE CLUB

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYg0Qr97MQg

“Hussle Club is a New York-based darkwave project headed by man-about-town Prince Terrence, who you’ve seen before in Heartsrevolution and heroically hand-drumming for hours with Major Lazer’s live jam. And “Good Morning, Midnight,” conceived and directed by Bijoux Altamirano, is as explicit a mission statement as the band could offer: spectre-conjuring witchery with an affinity for the vampire hours and guitar riffs that skulk through the mist. Also, apparently under red light, Terrence’s true nature is revealed: electrified cyber-skeleton, some kind of cool supernatural night haunter that True Blood has yet to identify. Special powers include: telepathy, ability to alter the mood of any room towards the dramatic.” -Julianne Escobedo Shepherd

WOLF EYES

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgKT6TRjV6c

“Something Wolf Eyes discovered seemed to elude the generations of previous noise-makers. Not that they find their references in anything newer than Throbbing Gristle, but Wolf Eyes has hit a vein of keeping it nice n’ super-gritty while also bringing in an engaging variety of sounds. And by sounds I don’t mean “sound” as it may be applied to whoever’s aesthetic, I mean sounds. Like everything from a power drill to a halloween sound effects cd to your neighbor’s dishwasher they stole. And perhaps there’s an element of reduction, Wolf Eyes knows that their swampy, diverse, and truly interesting sounds can hold for themselves, so they feel no need to overrun the listener or abandon all precepts of structure. Beats pointless screaming over radio static any day.”-discogs.com

BLACK DICE

www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjhfYt3weGk

“Brothers Eric and Bjorn Copeland and Aaron Warren have spent over a decade recording, touring, and unleashing their musical doctrine on audiences the world over. Starting as a loud, chaotic mix of early-eighties-inspired thrash and harsh noise, the band has transformed itself with each record and every era of performance.”

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

GROWING

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eu-OoUk-Nu0

“The Growing approach is to keep on nagging at a minimalist trudgery, thickening with new layers as they march onwards. It’s a cumulative technique that gives the impression of simplicity and directness. But if the audience cocks its collective ears until the juices run out of their burst interior pustules, untold subtleties will emerge. Ringing diversities, even. These players are terminally introverted. At the finish, they appeared unable to deal with the positive reaction of the audience. They looked floorwards. After a pause, they smiled hesitantly at each other. It was that kind of music.”- Martin Longley

from LOOK LISTEN PLAY
“Amber’s collages consist of a thought-provoking combination of people, faces, and objects, often positioned in a geometric fashion, letting the human eye trace the pictures while creating one’s own subliminal images. Ibarreche works with postcards, emotionally projecting happiness, ecstasy, and nostalgia. She says that she sometimes sees places in her mind that she has never been to, and recreates them through her art. Ibarreche’s art indeed looks like blended postcards scenes, sometimes with people’s faces melting into the background, a strange symbiosis between two different images that would never exist in real life, but can cohabitate, perfectly well, inside one’s mind.” … read the entire article at http://looklistenplay.com/PenduGallery
