Orlando - Waltz in my Mouth

Cathy Lucas AKA Orlando AKA half of Earth Moon Earth AKA 1/5th of Fanfarlo was voted in high school as 'most likely to be a sad circus clown'. Since then she has made a career out of acting the goat; she is Aries after all. As a child all she ever wanted was a twin, but she engulfed her only chance at one very early on as a prepartum jumble of cells. This remains a source of sadness.

Tobias Van De Peer - Otisburg

Many forms has he taken.

You may know him as the groundbreaking computer game soundtrack artist, or (psychedelischen Sound-Guru as the german press once really dubbed him).

Or as the Acid Jazz maverick guitarist and writer from Groove Connection who rubbed shoulders with Jamiroquai, Zem Audu, Fela Kuti, James Taylor Quartet, Afrika Bambaata, Erykah Badu and The Wurzels.

Or as the electro-kosmiche blues tripper with faux swedes Kilkë.

Now, at the end of music history, all in Rock has been done, all riffs have been written, all value lost.

Owning far too many records to be ignorant of this, he holes up in his bunker tinkering with formulas in vain to find the neu. Lately he has noticed the rest of the world merely rehashing the same old stuff brazenly but with a change of trouser tightness, and then bashing the proles into submission with social media and strange jerky visuals. Out of bitterness, in 2013 he has now finally decided to join in and set things straight with some fifth generation Zep riffs, crude Django guitar, half-baked indian music ripoffs and some truly tight trouserage.

Integrity be damned, its nice to get out of the bunker once in a while for some fresh air...

Silent Invisible Radiation - No Star


Kumo - Slow Ballad Mystic

Jono Podmore aka Kumo - professor of the practice of popular music at the prestigious "Hochschule für Musik" in Cologne, Germany - is best known latterly for his tireless work curating and managing the archives of Krautrock pioneers Can. In this respect, his by proxy masterstroke to date has been assembling last year’s essential The Lost Tapes boxset; which distilled, edited and spliced together reels and reels of Can’s studio outtakes, film scores and live recordings into a labyrinthine yet accessible package that adjoins the band’s already illustrious catalogue with well-crafted cohesiveness. As a happy extension to his direct Can connections, Podmore now forms part of new self-proclaimed ‘double-duo’ Cyclopean, alongside Burnt Friedman and Can veterans Jaki Liebezeit and Irmin Schmidt. Cyclopean’s impressive eponymous 4-track debut EP is available now on Mute/Spoon.

His other established group Metamono finds new life in vintage analogue and hand made electronics. Metamono release their debut album With the compliments of Nuclear Physics 21st October, continuing with live performances, installations and film projects across Europe.Outside of Metamono, Can & Cyclopean duties, Podmore has been no slouch with his own musical projects. Amongst many things, Podmore has worked under his Kumo alias across multiple releases that have included collaborations with the likes of B.J. Cole and Irmin Schmidt; his ongoing Horrorshow multimedia venture grafts live soundtracks to short films. More info

Ronny Waernes - Rock-a-Latin 33

His works sometimes radiate a cold and latent violence. At times, disconcerting beauty emerges. The results are deconstructed to the extent that meaning is shifted and possible interpretation becomes multifaceted. With a conceptual approach, he seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life.


Tom Furse - I'm Going to See the Stars(What's Left of the Stars)

Tom Furse, or more properly Tom the Fir Tree is not actually a variety of Norwegian Pine, as the name might suggest, but a selection of Inuit nature spirits that have been coalescing over a period of three aeons. His hobbies include paper folding, intransitive verbs of motion and the remainder of your bank account. This is his first recording that is under four hours in length.


Gemma Fleet - Slow Ballad 45


Teri Reed - Quickstep 33

Teri Reed lives deep in the heart of Suffolk UFO country with his wife, son and too many guitars.

He started life as a recording studio tea boy during the 80s punk explosion, making tea on Never Mind The Bollocks, before going on to engineer albums for Kate Bush, The Who and Paul McCartney.

Parting from the world of sex and drugs and rock n roll with his hearing and sanity almost intact he then spent two decades stretching that fragile sanity to the limit as an IT consultant.

He now wastes his spare time writing romantic fiction, indulgent guitar epics and, clutching a ukulele, looking for open mic events.


Walter Eggberts Horrendous Gallbladder Operation Was Televised Live on Sony ++TV++ {It Was So Popular He Had To Have It Done Again} - First of the Second Operations

Walter Eggbert's Horrendous Gallbladder Operation Was Televised Live on Sony ++TV++ {It Was So Popular, He Had to Have it Done Again}" is a project formed by multi instrumental avant guard noise fiend phillip raymond goodman, essentially for no other reason than to have some thing to put on "you might have heard of us..." vol. 1 weird band name compilation:

https://www.facebook.com/events/482560245168857/

However, it has now taken on a life of its own, each piece is a phase of the operation, or of the inner life of walter eggbert as he is repeatedly subjected to the operation for the enjoyment of the baying masses.
