The things he said on SL TV Show PaisleysBeebe about vampyre fashion really needs to be listened by yourselfs.

Dare Munro was interviewed on TV from Second Life (radio interview kind of in RL) and his avatar was so cool. He was like a rockstar!!
His performance was of course also cool. Hey? It is Dare Munro we are talking about here.

He said the most sensible things and explained his view and what vampyrism is about for him. So truly cool interview it turned out to be!!

He rocks!!!

AND is a great designer with such good taste. Check his apperance!!!

He came up with a truly cool analyze about why vampyrism is fashion of today and about how the view upon attraction has changed during them centurys. From the question about what it is with Nosferatu that females might find attractive in them forne days..
There are other things then looks that attracts! And it was cool he took the oppurtunity to spell this to the audience and the reporter.

Synth Is Not Dead

BODYFEST Kills That Rumour
There seems to be a rumour among them entreprenours of synthmusic festivals. That synth is dead.The fact they stop arranging pure synth events speaks for this. My speculation is that they feel old and quit (Tinnitus) or they want to mix in other genres of music (Arvika) since they dont realize how big this is.
Only WGT in Leipzig is still going strong.

In Sweden the new phenomena Bodyfest is taking it from there. And they are smart enough to mix in different styles within the genre itself. The EBM and Body genre was celebrating in Stockholm this weekend at the very First BodyFest event! And it was of great success. All tickets got sold out and the crowd was very pleased all through. Even if bit tired maybe in the end. Eight hours of music on a road is a bit exhausting.

Front 242 was there! As the main attraction.The band that started it all. The fathers of the genre EBM. They made a great concert and were so energetic on  stage that Jean-Luc de Meyer didn't even come out for the extra number the audience screamed forward. And I totally understands him. And so did all mine musician friends also. Wow. He really gave all at stage for us during the set. We got extras of course. They are two singers in the band, remember?

Right before the Front 242 gig I met with Patrick Codenys and he told me I was to expect some return to the old sound of the band. And they sure gave us a cool mix, slightly and gentle updated with new samplings.

Patrick Codenys NEWS

Patrick Codenys also told me about his new side project. He is learning a new language, Dance. Yes, it is his words. Patrick Codenys is working with a Dance Company called La Zampa and make music for them. They had a very nice and spectacular gig in Toulouse this spring that got lots of attention, "Daisy Cutter". He seems very thrilled and excited about this new area. We already know he is the most innovative in the band. He is a biotechnic humanoid all through. I didn't know though that he doesn't even consider himself to be a musician, but he tells me this at our meeting backstage. He is living the technique as an artist, I  believe. His other side project Red Sniper is still going strong too, wherein he expresses through film also, among others art expressions.

Front 242 NEWS

Patrick Codenys tells me that Front 242 is soon to be extending their live shows into surround sound and more multimedia experience. As this has become his new passion. He is learning this right now and the Front 242 has a project group working on this. The Front 242 were supposed to show this last spring but it got postponed. In December this year at a gig in Belgium, in Brussels, we will get a room specially for this to walk through and experience the new phenomena of the band before we get to the concert hall. And then we get the chance to see it once again at Leipzig at the Wave Gotik Treffen in  May 2011. 

Am looking forward to this.

Them other bands at this festival

The BodyFest contained also of gigs from No Sleep by the Machine and Stockholm Wrecking Crew, Spark, Autodafeh, Tyske Ludder and Pouppée Fabrikk. In the foaje we got DJ Insomnia (André Kiers) and in the concert hall Anders Karlsson från The Pain Machinery to keep us up with the beat in them pauses between the bands and them we choose to take for a break.

FOAJE, some more band pictures and something else

Audience Photo: NineIZ

The drummer of SPARK was cute in his kilt. And so energetic. Their songs surprised me a bit. Sounded like pop with EBM rythms to me. The shaped the BODY scene, I have been told by the Bodyfest festival general himself. Photo: NineIZ

Tyske Ludder did a great show. They made me feel like back in the 90's gothic synthtechnomusic parties again and missing my long black leather coat a lots, but they looked a bit like GI Joe and Rambo. Maybe that was the intention since they surely made deal with the german bad concious about second world war by showing the terror USA and other countries practice of today to others in the world in  filmstrips, photos and songs. It was a cruel show. It sureley rocked. Photo: NineIZ

Autodafeh experimented a bit in the middle with Goth but returned to  their roots in the end. Photo: NineIZ

Curiosity: The Testikelbrand himself (No Sleep by the Machine) was organizing Bodyfest with his friends. He was in orange. Testikelbrand is swedish for Burning Fire in them testicles.

He writes wonderful lyrics btw. Check out his websites. He told me the new song Yellow Mica and the old song Old Track was the ones the audience really loved in  their set.

He got a normal name too: Jens Plesner but writes under his name Testikelbrand.

Some soundclips from YouTube with the courtesy of the film maker and the bands;

If you  look in the YouTube for a video called Bodyruset you will see Stockholm Body Audience warm up a few weeks before Bodyfest with a little run in the park to them tunes of EBM.

DROP DEAD FESTIVAL - So much more then just music

This is artist Elena Brocade in her solo performance "Jinx" at a Drop Dead Festival event.

Elena Brocade is one of them artists that went into training with Aloft
a special training school in Chicago for trapez artists. She now performs all over the world and also take part in movies and was participating in Olympic Games of Hong Kong 2008.
She performed at Drop Dead Festival in Vilnius 2010.

Drop Dead Festival is so much more then just music.

I  will never forget the act of Opera and Rock'n'Roll in  Stockholm performed by Maya de Vesque and Anders Karlsmark (from Commando M Pigg - a swedish punk band)

Drop Dead is gothic, deathrock, performance and so much more.
To me it's a window to the BatCave scene of excellent taste DJ:s.

Next year it is in Berlin. They originally started in New York but travels all around the world.

Polina Yakovleva aka Polina NY Decay

and
Daniel Jones aka DJ Triangle

are the ones behind this all.
They also got a magazine called Drop Dead Magazine
 in  which you can follow their adventures if you are not lucky enough to have them on FB.

 This is from Portugal event. Snatched from The Official Drop Dead Page on FaceBook.

Release The Bats!

Craterface

http://www.myspace.com/craterfacesweden

One afternoon I get a phone call from a long lost friend and he drops by my place with this CD. It totally chills me smiling to the ground! It gives me flashbacks to bands like In The Colonnades. The kind of music I have missed for so long! But this little album fixed my abstinence. 

Craterface is heavy, cool and mystique still yet so punkish in a way not many can do it... the special sound and feeling is .. special..

They are hard to find on MySpace so keep the link as a bookmark. Secret and mystique. Their record company has got the coolest name. Gravejuice.

Gothic enough for me.

As my friend always were.

I cant wait to see them LIVE with this. Feels like being in a dark rock n roll club when I listen this album!

It's kind of auto production but this is not noticeable. It sounds as if made in a studio.

But my friend tells me it is mostly recorded in a kitchen.

My friend tells me he is in the middle of next production right now.
And this next album will be made in a studio.

I can hardly wait.

My Sunday turned out good!

My abstinence is stilled. Long time missed sounds fills my apartment. And I am feeling great!

Best news this decade^^^^

Its an interesting little list inside the album convolute that maybe gives some clues of this mysterious band with their site in another country and with spanish quota as reference for what inspires them.

Censorship SUCKS - Free ART

 iodine Jupiter
Bookcover that was cencored
by an Erotical Fair General

 

There is a poet in  Sweden that always manage to  provoke.

His book Dom dödas pornografi (The pornographie of them dead - free translation by  me...) had a cover with a man with a crucifux in his pants zipper. The poster for this one was censored by the Erotic Fair - next to the bookstand of Vertigo very small  females were fucked hard by big dicks on screens.....

This time.. iodine Jupiter made a book concerning Sweden being fucked by USA-freely..... its a satir....

the promovideo obviously upset someone - and they reported it to  YouTube as sex. Its no visiable sex in  this... the imagination makes this due to  the viewers own preferences... the artist is making art....

Well, since this artist got a big portion of humour... he of course responds in cool way to all this.... and is pleased someone got touch enough to react... of course...

He says:

(freely translated by me)

Where is the borderline for you?

The satir where USA is fucking Sweden arosed such joy and cheering at YouTube that they felt it necessary to  censor the long version of F**ck around the clock. Bodyparts painted in flags seems scary.

Explicit nothing is shown. Is this a question about political censorship of this parodie on USA. Or is the erotic phantasie of the censor running wild?

/iodine J

Freely translated by Nine IZ

here the original text from the artist:

VAR GÅR GRÄNSEN FÖR YOU?

Satiren där USA sätter på Sverige väckte sånt jubel att Youtube kände sig nödgade att censurera den långa versionen

av F**k around the clock. Kroppssminkande bakdelar målade som flaggor verkar otäckt.

Explicit visas ingenting. Är det fråga om politisk censur i parodin på USA. Eller den erotiska fantasin

hos censorn som skenat iväg?

/iodine J 

Note: the titel of this book mentioned above The pornographie of them dead is a travastie of an very old national hero among swedish authors btw... 

The link to the trailer remains anyway.... F**ck around the clock

Just a little uncensored youtube material to compare with... Prodigy Baby's Got a Temper 

New Model Army in Brooklyn
