Clown on Clown Violence Has Me in Stitches

Ah, how I love Bloodydisgusting. Earlier today they came through with not only the redband trailer for British clown horror flick 'Stitches' but they posted an exclusive clip that had me laughing (and gagging! Pulling a rabbit out of the ol' hat will never be the same again in my eyes!)

Go here to watch the redband trailer - it's awesome!!!

Mojo Walker: Big Blues Done Right!!!

Full Disclosure: This is a good friend's band. However, let that not dissuade you. These guys are GOOD. I'm not really a fan of straight up Blues, but this is Blues done right. The amazing thing is this friend of mine, who is the songwriter and 'orchestrater' of the project, had never played the blues before last April, when he just suddenly woke up one day and decided, "Hmmm, I think I'm going to make a Blues band".

They play the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago tonight, if anyone is free I personally guarantee it will be a GREAT show.

Savages - Husbands

Oh, this is even better than the previous post. Nice.

Savages - Husbands

Kas Product - So Young But So Cold

Further proof that you can learn something new about music from the past everyday. I'd never heard of Kas Product or for that matter the scene it is associated with. My discovery began last week when I was skulking around the always awesome heavenisanincubator and found this:

I really dug Feurerbahn and went back today to buy the album. In looking at the tags on the bandcamp I saw a term I'd never seen before - Cold Wave.

Hmmmm....

So I googled Cold Wave. Apparently Cold Wave had a little lift off in the late 70's/early 80's and derives its name from a quote by Siouxsie and the Banshees, where they described their music as "cold, machine-like and passionate at the same time".

Next I found this discogs entry which led me to this allmusic entry. From there it wasn't far until I found Kas Product.

Good stuff.
