We've joined forces with one of the biggest names in dance and the newest name in male grooming products. Below you'll find the galleries shot form the our first three tour nights that took place at Earth nightclub in Derry, Gibb Street Warehouse in Birmingham and Ministry of Sound in London. At each event Mitch stylists were on ...

Neil Young isn't saying women should be skivvies – he's revealing his own inadequacies in this lament Neil Young is an amazingly intuitive songwriter: he just seems to follow his subconscious. And for me, of all those singer-songwriters in the early 70s, he was the dark star. A Man Needs a Maid is taken from Young's fourth studio album, 1972's Harvest , which was recorded when he had terrible back pain (to the point of being bedridden). So on a literal level, the song is about not being able to take care of yourself anymore. The connotations of ...

Caustic Casanova - Someday You Will Be Proven Correct An entirely savory amalgamation of stoner, post-punk, post metal, psychedelia, indy, and even a touch of space rock.  In fact, there's probably more mixed into the stew but my palate is too naive to detect it all.  What I can say is that the concoction works and tastes magnificent.  With a base stock of classic power-trio rock, the mad chefs of Caustic Casanova went wild in the kitchen mixing their cuisines, alternatingly adding some big chunks of meaty stoner riffs, some delicate flavorings of prog-esque space-rock passages, the occasional fire of ...

“I once had the pleasure of interviewing a founder member of a Detroit-based militant electronic music collective and asked him a question that I thought he might answer in a way that would help me with an artistic struggle I’d been having since hearing the phrase ‘sell-out’ at the age of fourteen during the punk rock wars of 1977. “As you get older and possibly have to burden financial responsibilities such as a family,” I asked, “does it become harder to maintain outsider credentials and anti-commercial principles and pragmatism begins to take hold?” He listened politely and pondered for ...

Remasters for the seminal post-punk godfathers of what would become “industrial.” (Not really industrial, but it inspired bands like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, who somehow got wrongly lumped in with bands like Einsturzende Neubauten and Skinny Puppy, who really are industrial.) Unique here is the first-time-ever-on-CD Ha! Killing Joke Live, which documents the Revelations era of the band. All [...]

Today !K7 have announced the third installment to their Tapes series. With previous contributions from The Big Pink and The Rapture, it's Foals turn to step up. Foals Tapes will be released July 2nd. Wanting it to reflect the whole band, Foals member Edwin Congreave stated that he wanted to do something more ambitious than a throwaway DJ mix. The track listing for the tape is as follows: Nicolas Jaar – ‘Variations’, Clark – 'Ted (Bibio Remix)', Dorian Concept – 'Tropical Hands', Condry Ziqubu – 'Confusion (Ma Afrika)', The Invisible – 'London Girl', JR Seaton – 'Way Savvy (Gatto Fritto Remix)', Blood Orange – 'Dinner', Tanner ...

STREAM : Ministry - "Relapse" In thinking about all the ‘farewell’ tours of the past twenty years (which have included UFO, Ozzy Osbourne, The Who and Elton John), I can’t remember any musicians that have stayed ‘retired’. As such, it should come as no surprise that, after a five year hiatus from studio recording, Al Jourgensen has put out a new disc under the Ministry banner. Relapse is Ministry’s twelfth studio disc and it was released on March 23rd through Jourgensen’s 13th Planet Records. Hold-overs from last decade’s ant-Bush trilogy, Mike Scaccia (guitars) and Tommy Victor (guitars) rejoin ...

Photo by  Ruvan Wijesooriya Quite a busy year for James Murphy in his post- LCD life, with no signs of slowing, either. Murphy has teamed up with  Pedro Winter  (a.k.a. Busy P) of Ed Banger Records  on a series of collaborations to celebrate the opening of a new Levi's store on Champs Élysées in Paris. The pairing was commissioned to symbolize a union between French and American creative cultures.   Murphy and Winter co-designed limited edition T-shirts and trucker jackets to be sold at the store during its opening months, and curated collections of albums that will soundtrack ...

An amazing story. Read it at Der Spiegel : Machold was the Stradivarius man. There are still about 600 violins, 60 cellos and 12 violas from the famous workshop in Cremona, Italy in existence today, and Machold has held about half of these instruments in his hands. His reputation was so stellar that he was permitted to prepare the appraisals himself for the two Stradivarius instruments given to the Bremen bank as collateral, and he has also appeared in court as an expert witness. For months, Austrian investigators and 72-year-old Jörg Beirer, the administrator in the bankruptcy proceedings, have been trying ...

Jo Schüftan of Horns Up Rocks! recently conducted an interview with Tony Campos (SOULFLY, POSSESSED, STATIC-X, ASESINO, MINISTRY, ATTIKA 7) before SOULFLY's April 27 concert at the Gramercy Theater in New York City.

Das deutsch-französische Electronica-Duo Terranova hat den finalen Track ihres aktuellen Albums " Hotel Amour " verfilmen lassen. Der aktuelle Langspieler ist der erste, welches die Produzenten über das renommierte Kölner Label Kompakt veröffentlichten. In der jüngeren Vergangenheit verfilmte man daraus bereits den Song "Question Mark", eine Kollaboration mit WhoMadeWho -Sänger "Tomas Høffding" ( motor.de berichtete ). Als Feature-Gäste für das atmosphärische Elektronik-Stück "Prayer" agieren die deutschen Schauspieler Nicolette Krebitz und Udo Kier, welche auch für die Umsetzung des Musikvideos verantwortlich waren. In diesem Fall hat Krebitz Regie geführt und ihren Kollegen in schlichten Schwarz-Weiß-Bildern eingefangen. Das Ressultat könnt ihr an dieser Stelle begutachten ...

Treats was a startling debut album from Sleigh Bells. The band put together a complex, deep sound that drew in the surf pop of Best Coast and the intricate arrangements of My Bloody Valentine, and delivered them with a level of aggression Ministry only wished they could still muster. Now that we know what to expect from the band, their sophomore album Reign Of Terror, doesn't overwhelm us the same way. It doesn't mean that the band has toned things down, quite the contrary, but the audience has been better conditioned to receive it. The layers and layers ...
