Update: Distro/All-Dayer/Upcoming shows

Upcoming
Really buzzing about our next two shows, so thought I'd post a quick reminder about them:

Mudboy + The A Band + Slow Listener
23rd May 2009 Cafe Oto, Ashwin St, Dalston 8pm / £6

Burial Hex + Saturn Finger + Kinit Her
16th June 2009 Cafe Oto, Ashwin St, Dalston 8pm / £6

Tickets at www.wegottickets.com/colourride

Mudboy's first ever UK tour and thus first ever London show. Also a rare show for UK free music legends The A Band - no idea who will actually be in the band yet. Slow Listener's magical dronal swathings are worth getting there on time for.

Burial Hex is Clay Ruby, one of the best noise artists in world at the moment, who will actually be playing in a more-ambient-than-usual mindset to compliment the settings of Cafe Oto. Saturn Finger is a new project from France and Finland featuring Jani of Uton - expect psychy freak folk directions. Kinit Her are from Wisconsin, USA (as is Burial Hex) and play a captivating mixture of eastern European folk, black metal washes, witches' croons and sonic manipulations.

Distro
Just sold out of copies of the brilliant Electric Annihilation zine - waiting for a new batch to be delivered. Will also have copies of DNT Records' (the guys who did the EA zine) newest tape from Sean McCann for sale in the distro soon. Some other stuff should arrive soon, but the plan is to keep it very limited. If you're a label/band and want us to stock your stuff, drop me a line at paperhead [at] gmail [dot] com and we'll see what's possible. We sell both online and at our London shows.

Space Age City: The Colour Ride All-Dayer 2009
Details of our annual all-day celebration have been tentatively released. I'm seriously excited this year - Stellar Om Source and El-G will be travelling across lands and seas to perform, with Jazzfinger, Mutant Ape, and KK/KK crossing various stretches of the UK to be there too. More to be announced - some exciting names to be announced soon. It's on 15th August at The Windmill, Brixton.

This year's event has developed - this is the third year I've put this on and with each one I try to make it an extra-special occasion, not just in terms of the live acts but the other stuff too. That other stuff this year includes the free BBQ, free tapes for early-comers (featuring most/all of the artists playing) and a temporary record store in the outside garage bit (featuring a Second Layer stall + more tbc - get in touch if you'd like to be involved in that).

It's called Space Age City because it fits the poster. I guess it's a nice name too. It's good to name things.

small / big update

hello. here's a small update on recently announced shows we're doing, tours we're booking, releases we're releasing and things we're selling....

CDRs / trading / all-dayer...

i'm potentially interested in trading the stuff we've done for stuff you (bands/labels) have done, so message me if that floats your boat. our stuff is listed on here in various posts and at www.colourride.co.uk

our continually annual all-dayer has been confirmed - 8th august 2009 at the windmill. we did it last year and it was great, and did it the year before too. couple of acts confirmed but it'll all be announced in one batch in a month or two. it'll again be reasonably priced and there will be a free bbq. any ideas/..suggestions you have - from bands who should play to different things we can incorporate into the day - message me. if you have a label/..distro/etc and want to have a stall to sell your stuff, or you want to displa some art you've done, or whatever, again - message me.

will have one more show between now and august, looks likely to be one of the best we've done. will be confirmed in the next few days so....

also, i have a rubbishy blog over there - http://dialobewarriorz.blogspot.com- it has a stupid name.

important:
tomorrow's show (24th/tuesday) at ryan's bar with god willing/unicorn hard-on/family battle snake/bbblood has lost all but bbblood due to those bands getting stuck in the countries they are in. we've replaced them with girl mountain/cementimental plus probably one more and entry will now be very cheap/free. it'll still be awesome but it is a big shame.

BBBlood - Alien Nosejob [cdr]

another new colour ride release - one we've been really excited about. info:


BBBLOOD - ALIEN NOSEJOB [CDR] £4.00
forty-five minutes/three tracks of solar noise explorations. unhappy screeching and hissing on different levels; less noise than you might expect from london’s shining noise light but still a lot of noise.

or at www.colourride.co.uk

j.collin - john train's blues [3" cdr]

J.COLLIN - JOHN TRAIN'S BLUES
four tracks of solemn guitar work - dips and bends of minimal playing rarely heard to this standard of consolidation. john also plays in serfs. 40 copies.

________
This is our latest release - CR08. It's really great. Serfs played for us on Wednesday at the George Tavern. Also playing were the new Chora-initiated project Man Digs His Own Grave With His Teeth... which also featured Spoono, Karl D'Silva and others. Plus Deepkiss720 and Wing Horses. It was a thoroughly good night of some of the most exciting UK-based music projects right now.

Releases to come very soon from BBBlood, Part Wild Horses Mane on Both Sides, Family Battlesnake, Bromancer and keyBORE. Watch the skies.

Horse Vomit @ Paradise Row, 16/2/09

So Paradise Row is some first floor church hall thing. It's nice. Tonight it's housing some sort of pseudo-worthwhile sceney art thing that I don't understand. What I do understand is Horse Vomit, which is lucky as somehow they've been asked to play amid the other 'performances' (including some person shouting, someone smashing a light bulb, and what not).

Hunched and masked in the corner of the big white room with big wooden floors, surrounded by probably £50,000 worth of art, they erupt after suggestions they get naked. Amongst the turntable smashing, people molesting and semi-naked wrestling there's actually a pretty exciting drum-accompanied noise sound that encompasses the solo work of Cementimental/Duncan Harrison/Tracey Phlegmin but with even more chaos. It's one of the two reasons tonight is tolerable - the other being the 50p bottles of beer.
