All Time Low Productions
Monday, April 26th, 2010
For those of us eagerly awaiting some new releases from DC Recordings (late summer we’re told!), All Time Low have stepped up to fill the gap in our lives. They have some tasty stuff going on at the moment, including the Zombie Zomie event we’re working on and a couple of EPs by our pals The Oscillation and Higamos Hogamos. Looks like they have much more to come too – Keep an eye on them…
Chris Cunningham – Royal Festival Hall
Saturday, April 24th, 2010
Last night we went along to see the new A/V live show by Chris Cunnigham at the Royal Festival Hall. The main performance centered on a large video triptych accompanied by an original score, also by Cunningham, and true to form, both audio and video are designed to pleasantly fuck with your head a little bit. The first half in particular grips you relentlessly, almost to the point where you’re not sure if the experience is enjoyable or not.
Overall, the video work is of course incredible, but unfortunately it relies largely on reworkings of the recognisable stuff we’ve seen before such as Rubber Jonny and the symmetrical Playstation girl – I think I was hoping to see a bit more new work in the show.
Support on the night came from Beak>, the new project by Geoff Barrow of Portishead, which was OK(ish), but probably didn’t quite live up to expectations on the night. Overall, a mixed but enjoyable evening – especially the cocktails at Skylon afterwards.

Zombie Zombie – Battleship Potemkin
Monday, December 14th, 2009
This weekend I’ve been in Paris to see our pals Zombie Zombie play a live score to Battleship Potemkin at the very nice amphitheater in Cité de la Musique. Great show, and an interesting audience – 50% Parisian hipsters X 50% Parisian OAPs? – but somehow it all came together and judging by the triple standing ovation at the end most people seemed to have enjoyed themselves. I’m hoping for more shows like this next year please.
DC Recordings Party – Friday 13th November
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
This Friday there’s a very special DC Recordings party at Corsica Studios in Elephant & Castle. Apart from the line-up being top-notch, it may well be the last ever party hosted by DC – which has got to be worth celebrating in itself!
We’ll be there to say goodbye and good-riddance to our DC pals Tom and Mr. Dyer (UK Acid House Pioneer). See you at the bar…
