The Procession

Electric Wizard - The Procession
Rise Above

There is a new one song Electric Wizard release thing! Not sure how else to describe it. It sounds like it was recorded on Spanish radio or something. What it is, is a 500-copy limited pressing on single-sided black vinyl with fold-out cover and A2 poster, released for the Rise Above Records 20th Anniversary Show at London ULU, Saturday December 13th 2008, where it was sold exclusively. That will be why I am a bit slow on the uptaek on this. But new Wizard is always exciting and this is no different....no wait, it is very different! Listen >>>

DJ VS. Band Vs. Blog Action

Me and Fokka Wolfe have been busy blogging and setting up the new NFR blog over here - www.nfrblog.blogspot.com We have no idea whether anyone will read it, or even how to get anyone to read it. Answers on a postcard if you do know....seriously. I will be focussing all my NFR related stuff on that blog, and using this Black Static for more personal things - well, not personal as such, just less NFR-oriented. I am not sure how well that will work, but I guess I will be putting anything that is more Brighton or demo oriented over on the NFR and anything and everything else here.

So far we've posted up our opening mission statement, March's Penthouse setlist, a bit on Japanese shoegazers Hedgehog and a review of the Everyone To The Anderson gig we DJ'd at on Friday. Things to come will be a bit on Revenge of Shinobi, an Old Mayor preview for Wednesday (so that's coming in a minute!), and if all goes well and according to plan (which is very unlikely considering how quickly all major operations are going with me at present), a new download for you too.

Friday mega gig

I am DJing at this on Friday. Bring everyone you know >>>





Everyone To The Anderson are my favourite Brighton band, on record and live. I don't even need to say Brighton, they are one of the bands I enjoy most full stop. There is an intensity and aggressive to them that commands attention, a (barely) controlled sense of chaos and a proclivity to volume that verges on hostile. All wrapped up in a warm and cosy sense of fun.

Elks I have not seen yet so I do not know about them. If Ben is putting them on, I trust they will be worth watching.

P For Persia are great! Psychedelic doom rock, full on volume and dirty low slung good times, telephone vocals and disco keyboard mayhem. Or something like that.

Be there.

NFR Setlist 5th March, 2009

Another Not For Resale setlist for all who came and stared in wonderment at the speakers wondering what it meant. And another setlist for youze who missed out and can read what you missed out on. No instant link to Fokka Wolfe's set yet, but I'll stick it in place of this sentence when I do.

We are working on an NFR blog as we speak, and I suspect this setlist will be the second post up there - after an introductory/celebratory one, naturally. More news on that as and when.

Here you go, Meatbreak's jamz from the Penthouse. The first hour was pretty stargazey droney and intense - School Of Seven Bells clicked it back into the realms of pop and we hit it up and off, kicking and screaming from there:
