"Collision is an annual festival of moving image, music, art and performance. It brings together artists from different disciplines and presents their work under one enormous roof over three nights. It is an immersion into many forms of creative expression. New and surprising encounters occur as diverse pieces exist, and occasionally travel, in the same space at the same time. Collision is an experience that becomes more than a sum of its parts" More details at  www.collision.org.uk

DEMO OF THE WEEK MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN – Mellow reflective quiet Casiotone flavoured electronic pop and melancholic melodica and walks by rivers and dancing around pleasing sunsets and lovely notes and just three friends enjoying making hand-crafted alternative flavoured uplifting restrained refined indie music – ww.mysideofthemountain.co.uk

Here are some of the other things that are worth mentioning and investigation and maybe and....

DESTINATION:OBLIVION – The Bridge To Nowhere – One of those modern industrial metal bands, another global noise attack, this time from Portland Oregon, all shouting and banging and riffing and Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson and Skinny Puppy alternative edge and black clothes and electronic percussion fighting with slicing riffs of metal  and all the usual alternative industrial goth metal bites and lashes and collars and black cancers of destruction and payment made in flesh. Not really hearing anything here that we haven’t heard before, but hey, if you want new sins the same as the old ones or something like that, seems like they have quite a back catalogue of self released albums and such – www.destinationoblivion.net

BYE BYE CANDY – Life Is Plastic – four slices of super slick glammy electro indie pop from Paris France. I guess you could call them sexy if you were of a mind, if you found Garbage sexy – think a poppy Garbage with a bit of LCD Soundsystem, well a few more guitars than LCD and a singer who seems to spend all her time in nothing but her lacy underwear and very red lipstick, I think you get the idea – www.myspace.com/byebyecandy

OF THE I – Well now they’re certainly slick, London based alternative rock band for you fans of big sounding things like Incubus, Mars Volta, A Perfect Circle and such. Lacking in an real personality of their own and I can’t say this kind of thing does much for any of the ears around here. If you’re curious then they do their thing rather well - they’ve got a biog that talks of updating prog rock, certainly not my idea of progressive in any sense of the term – slick, well played, intelligent and ultimately rather safe and you could say somewhat unprogressive. They are good at it though, extremely slick and note-perfect professional, if it sounds like your thing then well worth your time, seems they have an album finished and read to go – www.myspace.com/ofthei

DEMO REVIEW ARCHIVES

ALBUM OF THE WEEK
CONSTANTINES – Kensington Heights (Arts & Crafts) – A moody blend of edgy feisty North American rock that somehow manages to take in both the furore of Bruce Springsteen and the alternative art-edge of Fugazi. Wordy calls and you are not your generation and a common beginning and they wilt not sing a hateful song. A little more to hang on to that your average band, words you want to focus on, North American dreams and from a place where good men get lost in that trench. No kissing up to the great misgiver. Oh and great packaging/artwork as well, it will bite you if you trespass, this is a mighty fine set of real songs and feverously good words put together with their bodies and their will. North American rock and share the faces, gather around, there’s a new king coming round, bound together as it is bound to be. An album that get you up with life, something a little bit more than your average band. www.constantines.ca
 

ALSO CHECK OUT WOODBOX GANG – Drunk As Dragons (Alternative Tentacles) - Tales that tell of the lack matching socks and doors without locks ‘cause there’s no doors on a cardboard box, that and blood banks that won’t pay you for your blood no more when your veins go bad and what are we gonna do now for a drink? Down at heal genuine send for a mail-order bride Jim Beam drenched American alt-country blues and freight train-riding that’s still sharp fit and “stellar” enough to be on the glorious record label with the fine fine bat on it.  We’re told the Woodbox Gang are from a place called Vulture Valley in Southern Illinois – no really, I just checked, it really does exist. Lot of alien abductions and strange holes and festivals celebrating vultures in Makanda, Illinois. Woodbox Gang have this caustic Americana and clever wordsmithery and they tell of how he had never kissed a boy until he went to prison – tales of termites and devils and how you can make more than a brain surgeon by selling crystal meth and amphetamine. Wholesome American folk and bluegrass and banjos, mandolins and steel guitars and that punk rock undercurrent. They say they do their own thing and they’re as equally influenced by the sound of a symphony orchestra as they are the sound of a push rod knockin’ in an old 350 engine. Dysfunctional family goodness and rides on the godbox wagon and souls full of holes and the mystery mistress who will lash you to a wheel. Jug band American goodness that could only be from a place called Vulture Valley Southern Illinois. A most excellent dosage of songs and must-listen tales from the festering religious bit of conservatism that’s cradled by the Mississippi and Ohio rivers and the long distance crawls and a tractor driving devil and god don’t care he just lives in a tree and watches on... oh yes, pass the bottle....  www.woodboxgang.com or www.alternativetentacles.com – find the album in the UK via www.cargorecords.co.uk X

RA RA RIOT – The Rhumb Line (Cooperative) – From Syracuse, New York with some deceptively simple sounding alternative indie pop that’s been turning heads is a rather uplifting way for a couple of years now. These songs may sound simple, that’s the clever bit though, making it all sound this easy. Arriving with this debut album could not been easy, the tragic loss of “dear friend” and drummer John Pike at the start of last summer and the fact that they pulled these songs together in a studio at the end of that difficult summer is a testament - “the process was simultaneously a memorial to Pike. A grieving process and also a re-engagement with the enjoyment of making music together”. That engagement with the pure innocent uncluttered enjoyment of making music together is something that really does come out, the joy radiates, the pure creative pleasure. These ten songs really are about the simple enjoyment - to understand and to laugh until it all ends. Clever alternative indie pop, laced with the grace and elegance of those chamber strings, those dramatic brush strokes that enhance the delightfully catchy poppy melodies and the exhuberant arcade fires. Just really enjoyable, sometimes that’s more than enough  - www.rarariot.com or www.myspace.com/rarariot Download a track from the Ra Ra Riot album hereX

DREAM MACHINE – The Castle Of A Thousand Universes (Self Release) – Well they’ve got it seriously together this time, last time around the rather raw production exposed a few things, this time around Dream Machine have made an album that flows, an album that feels right. We’re talking classic days of bands like Ozric Tentacles, O’Roonies, Ullulators, the authentic taste and smell of Club Dog, Stonehenge and such – indeed Dream Machine feature a number of people from those bands from back there; Ozrics, Damage, Here & Now, Thunderdogs, including Jumping John, he of the front flute. Mellow instrumental space rock, festi-glide, Gong-funk and flowing prog-fusion and while The Castle isn’t doing anything you haven’t heard before, this time around they have it nailed properly and if you’re in to that classic Ozrics/Gong sound then this is highly recommended - www.myspace.com/dreammachinespacerock

ICED EARTH – The Crucible Of Man (SPV) – Ambitiously classical, adventurously epic flying over the cliffs at the end of time heavy metal. Bombastic conceptual epic epic epic, I guess you Iron Maiden fans will be more than impressed. www.icedearth.com

BLOOD CEREMONY – Blood Ceremony (Rise Above) - Witchy female-voiced Canadian Black Sabbaths dancing around a cauldron of 70’s Italian Prog and bits of PFM and a blasted oak just beyond Jethro Tull in the mystical forest where fuzz peddles wait for you to tread and flutes guide you to Pagan alters and a whole black universe of prog-laden old school heavy rock and jigging devilment and galloping riffs and more flutes and organs and flares and beards and without warning a wizard walks by. Black Sabbath, Focus, Tull, Pentagram, PFM and Witchfynde and Witchfinder General and Witchcraft and the Witch Of Berkley and all kinds of other heavy rock witches and master magicians who only look behind them for musical inspiration (and where the little people dance to the pipes of pan at Stonehenge where the cats meow and...) Psychedelic folk driven heavy progressive rock, cool as f - a little more than just an imitation laid upon tomorrow’s stone  – www.myspace.com/bloodceremony or www.riseaboverecords.com

TONAL OAK – Man Trouble (On The Quercusp) - Now this is difficult, strange lo-fi one man Beach Boys that veers between the sublime and some kind of rage inducing oft-kilter get it off the CD player annoyance. It keeps pulling me back though, and I thought the grass would be greener when really it was an unnatural shade. Certainly experimental, all kinds of slightly off-note keyboards and acoustic guitars that sound like they’re going through some kind of alternative electronic state. I like it... no... I don’t like it, no hang on, I do... this is certainly a personal album, idiosyncratic, brave new waves. Focussed digital noodlings and some kind of electric art-pop. He, for Tonal Oak is a he, references The Russian Futurists, Max Tundra and Aphex Twin alongside bands like My Bloody Valentine, The Beach Boys and The Lilys. Impossible harmonies filtered through strange lo-fi machines and when he hits the spot then its can be wonderful, trouble is he doesn’t instantly and Man Trouble can be rather hard work with that torrent of found sound, harmonised Beach Boys vocals and improvised electronica – worth it though, I think so, maybe? Yes, worth sticking with, it flows in the end once you get your mind in the right space and let it in you’ll like it, at least I think you will. Neat artwork – www.myspace.com/tonaloak

FALLEN – A Rare Camouflage (Cookanegg) – Delicate textured electronic and delicate instrumental textures, clever warmth, glowing ambience, considered, tactile, radiant - wet grass, gentle glitch, the occasional voices, whispered vocals, coats over heads, lost in the branches – reassuring, caressing, inviting clarity. And all wrapped up in good looking hand made artwork, all rather refreshing and recommended . – www.myspace.com/cookanegg

PURE INC – Parasites & Worms (Dockyard1) - Big metal that sometimes sounds like Skid Row or Whitesnake’s American period and then again sometimes sounds a little alternative and 90’s in an an even bigger Alice In Chains, Black Label Society, Soundgarden kind of way – you can do with that bit of information whatever ever you wish, if the idea appeals then they do it well and here you go, hit the link, if it doesn’t then move along  - www.pureinc.net

SOULS – Simple Terms and Conditions (Lockjaw) – Second album from the alternative guitar band from Bristol. They cite Cave-In, Queens Of The Stone Age, Nirvana, Serafin and a whole load more as influences - their influences will give you an idea and the link will let you make your own mind up, we don’t have a whole lot more to say here – www.myspace.com/soulsarmy

BULLET – Bite The Bullet (Black Lodge) - None more metal, she’s a mean machine, they fall somewhere between a slightly more big haired version of Raven and Brian’s Johnson AC/DC (and Starfighters and Lautrec and More if you want to get all obscure nwobhm about it all – oh yes, burning burning mean gasoline! Always time for a slice of Lautrec around here). You could pretty much sing AC/DC lines to their riffs and they’re very much the Beano Johnson version rather than the far more vital Airbourne Bon Scott version. They’re from Sweden, and they’re nowhere near as right as Airbourne are, far more 80’s hair than 70’s barroom waiting around to me a millionaire, and they’re getting a little one dimensional now - honey, what do you do for money? And I think we’ve heard enough for today, small doses of their on high raging around town in blue jeans and leather is enough and has it all gone a little Accept around the edges? -  www.bullet.nu

ALBUM REVIEW ARCHIVES

 There were no red trucks in Ladbrook Grove and nothing was wished on, we missed the Portobello film festival bit of the night but there was Punkvert film-bites running through most of the evening and well where do we start with this tale? There was already some kind of vibe at 8.30pm, and well before the first band things were feeling good, something happening here. Now I need to urgently get tonight out on (virtual) paper and try and explain at least some of it before the details  – need to explain why I found myself out front on the phone telling others they needed to get down here mid way through. We’re at a Punkvert/Subterfuge night called A Fete Worse Than Death that’s part of the Portobello Film Festival and also something called an Ex-Gratia Recordings launch party night – I thing that’s what we were at. 

We’re under the Westway anyway, Clash-land, West London and just along from the Earl Percy where that wanted a riot of their own back there. There’s always different feel under the Westway in Ladbrook Grove, this is Hawkwind/Killing Joke territory, that whiff of head-punk counter-culture still hangs in the air and half the people in here look like they were either Clash roadies or groupies back in ’79 – we are not in Hoxton and this certainly isn’t Camden.... There’s healthy dub and the sounds of Sly and The Family, James Brown and Public Enemy spinning while we wait for the first band, and did we get a bit of the Battle of Britain soundtrack, the bit that sounds like Stench Of Honey?  We certainly got the classical strains of Holst and Mars over the PA and who is this man dancing around chaotically ballet-like is an orange boiler suit? Is he some official part of the night or just a passer by “enthusiastically” joining in? What’s he shouting about? Mars? Bringer of War? - “Can we please have a f**king band on stage” he eventually yells and goes and straps on a guitar and starts ranting about Auntie Mary having a cannery before the rhythm section shuts him up and ANARCHISTWOOD quite literally kick off. Four of them, two orange boiler suits, drummer in white vest and pint sized short-cut blond-haired ball of energy in jeans and basque in control of it all – “we’re a punk rock band” she declares as they launch in to a song called Stumpf**ker and a rant about Tipper Gore while the girl in the box dances around the audience  - oh yes, the girl in the “feel-me” box - I think that’s what she called it - she’s wearing it around her top half, long legs and high heels, the box is painted silver, two holes cut in the front, you can guess the rest. Anarchistwood are ripping through some rather fractured, rather messy new wave proto-punk rock, they abort half way through a number of songs, they have one about Snorting Whisky that wasn’t the Pat Travers song (unless they really prank-rocked it up while they drank cocaine). They sing about Rivers of Shit (I think that’s what they were singing about) while animated films of pigs and sheep in sunglasses go past, and tales of caution and seeing things in another light. Singer girl – she maybe called Sistah Kist – certainly had an energetic limit-pushing personality, born to shout at the front of a punk band, and when she wants to, she really can sing. The band thrash on here, bite and turn there and hey twisted mister you’re a total wreck and agents of thee great cosmic joker and proud of it. She’s good, they’re good, they’ve got this raged art-punk thing going down, they’re messy, they walk a musical tightrope and you’re never sure if they’ll make to the end, they’ve got a bit of Crass, some Patti Smith a touch of Butthole Surfers and some kind of hint of situationist chaos and a gloriously good punk rock mess... 

 So this is it then, the stories on other people’s shoes, RUDE MECHANICALS have to be seen, no they really do have to be seen - they all look so intriguingly good, they demand your full attention, your fascination. Lynda Beast is with them tonight, mostly with her violin, sometimes a trumpet kind of thing, long olive green dress, bow between her legs, how was she playing it just then?. Kitty Kat is over there with blue hair and red heels (that somehow later on end up on the dance floor and have to be handed back) behind her keyboard and her oboe, Guy Avern weaving in the middle of it all and mostly driving the bass. Dapper man called Cos would be centre of attention in most bands with his refined guitar, there’s so many centres of attention here though – both visually and musically. Tommy G is at the back with his colourful jazz-stroked drums gluing it all together – there’s some seriously good musicians up there and it all seems to flow so so easily, so effortlessly when it should be so uncomfortably awkward. How to explain it? How! In an ordered alphabetical way while alien mice take over the tube lines, or feeding Derek lots of pies and then there’s the escalators that are to be considered nothing more than stair impersonators. 

And there in the middle, looking radiant in her long red dress and big white hair and in finger-pointing control of everything is Miss Roberts. Telling us how to dance in such a charmingly refreshing (and wonderfully plummy) way – and we can’t help but respond to her elegant demands that really do manifest in to your deepest reality while her band of symbiotic slaves decorate the walls of your insides with their questions concerning time and the invention of the calendar and a later a Rotten Tango. Order up some Champaign and drink the golden outrageousness of it all, the twitching behind curtains and the life in carrier bags and looking though letter boxes. Oh it makes such bizarrely good sense and all the thoughts on video taken from inside of your head and strange noir and the sweet sweet smell of back bar-room art rock and strange other-jazz  - and the smiling encroachment of my dancing neighbours for the frantic finale of Disco Dancer where they take on funk in a deliciously eccentrically English way and teach us all the routine. We’ve been though all kinds of genuinely avante across-the-line jumping with art rock and performance cabaret jazz and new-wave no-wave bites of blues and Zappa and Beefheart and before the disco there was another routine – oh yes, 1-2-3 hoorah!!! Most seem to already know that was required, there’s a cult following and a genuine word of mouth thing going on, Miss Roberts has clearly instructed them before – all seriously hard boiled art rock performance and all such fascinating fun and we were expecting good on the strength of the Glass Eye album, really wasn’t expecting it this good though. Yes, such fun and watching you from the other side... oh yes, love the existential angst and it doesn’t have to be that way for Miss Roberts will take control. Rude Mechanicals are wonderfully good They leave the stage to wild applauds and the sound of the Dead Kennedys and then, after some more inspired choices from the spot-on DJ, all kinds of ranting and filthy spoken word and audience-baiting performance and removal of clothes from a man called Handsum Pete - some writhing semi-naked boy-nuns and guitars and you really had to be there, following Rude Machanicals was tough Hansum Pete and his friends took it a whole different naked way  ..

A Post Script from Funkcutter because Zoe deserves a proper name check: “It was wonderful and top totty! we had a last minute addition of our beautiful silver cake box girl Zoe Snelgrove - yum yum - and of course the fabulous DJ Mr Johnny southside + KodeK VJ filling in the large holes between live bands and all hail Handsum Pete, he surely is the worm of christ...”

SINGLE OF THE WEEK 2
DARK CAPTAIN LIGHT CAPTAIN – Jealous Enemies (Loaf) – More of that glowing delicate warmth and that sparse simple psychedelia, that quietly breathing slightly glitchy 21st century folk and calm before the storm. Cleverly crafted circling acoustic guitars, weaving atmosphere and those gentle harmonies that fit together to be part of the same thing in such a perfectly understated and gloriously beautiful way. Anther very fine single from Dark Captain – www.darkcaptainlightcaptain.com or www.l-o-a-f.com

ALSO CHECK OUT

THE TAMBORINES – 31st Floor / Come Together (Beat Mo) – London based Brazilian threesome with a growing reputation and a classic Brian Jonestown/Dandy Warhols feel. They’ve got that locked on forward moving psychedelic drone-pop organ thing going on. Poppy fuzz ‘n buzz and colourfully monochrome in a stylish focussed to the point Velvet Underground My Bloody Valentine kind of way. This actually came out last month, only just landed here though and too good to let go by – www.myspace.com/thetamborines
