Visage was founded in the late 70s by Steve Strange and Rusty Egan who were also the folk behind new wave club nights at Blitz nightclub in Great Queen Street, London. Initially, the band was composed of Strange, Egan and Midge Ure .

The trio recorded a demo which included a cover of the Zager and Evans hit In the Year 2525 . The band's line-up was completed ...

Quote: Hong Kong physicists say they have proved that a single photon obeys Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light -- demonstrating that outside science fiction, time travel is impossible. The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology research team led by Du Shengwang said they had proved that a single photon, or unit of light, "obeys the traffic law of the universe." "Einstein claimed that the speed of light was the traffic law of the universe or in simple language, nothing can travel faster than light," the university said on its website. "Professor Du ...

Time for another journey (a two-parter this time) through the hallowed basements, bedrooms, and home studios of some of the most interesting D.I.Y. projects to grace the Ripple mailbag.  Just like before, our hat gets tipped to the D.I.Y. musician, producing and creating when a whole world of naysayers may be standng before him (or her).  All for the love of music.  And what a varied set we have for you waveriders today. The Photons - Glory! EP A while back when perenial Ripple favorites, Grand Atlantic, were touring the US for the first time, me and ...

US multi-person band Photons has gone on “ indefinite hiatus ”, which basically means that the band is no more. Shame really as the band wrote some wonderfully charming pop songs. And apparently I wasn't the only one who thought so ! + Shadow + Choose + Where Were You Last Night + This Must Be Love Swedish indietronica trio Pistol Disco will be supporting The Radio Dept. at Vega on May 15 . What a terrible band name, but hopefully their music will grow on me, as the first listen left me somewhat unimpressed. The 6 track EP Evergreen is free to download from the band ...

This week’s podcast features San Francisco band Photons, a seven-person group who first caught our ears with their self-titled debut EP of Brit-influenced chamber pop. The band began as a new project for drummer Calvin Liu, who found kinship with a talented group of multi-instrumentalists and, perhaps improbably, former metal singer James Parrish. [...]

The 8 songs on this EP are oddments from Modest Mouse’s previous two albums, Good News for People Who Like Bad News and We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.

Just a test to see if the Apple Wytch Machine will talk to here. Never sure. Can't be. Later, thingsll happen. Last time I tried this, the Hadron Collider upended and the photons fell out. Still, without experimentation.. Closing eyes now. - an Ill-thought Deville Supp via Blogpression on my Wytch Machine...

Here at the Bona Fide Darling, we are not strangers to the greatness of San Francisco's Kite In The Air. Dreamy, languid electronic beats and the angelic voice of Emma Lucia stepping in front of said beats. The more I listen to them, the more I love their music. You can still get their latest EP Magic Marker for free. We had the opportunity to chat up Emma about Kite In The Air's music, the music scene in San Francisco, I turn them on to other SF bands and we discuss what the deal is with vampire movies ...

I'm not sure what additives are in the water in San Francisco, but, it may or may not have something to do with the music coming out of there. Collider , along with Photons and Kite In The Air and Minipop are all putting out some seriously great music. Sounding like the noisier brother to local Dallas band Radiant* , Collider blends power-pop charm with a DIY ethos that will be heaven to your ears. You can download their new EP, BBM here ... for free. MP3: Collider - Time Concerns

Dimmer - Sun Dog Dimmer is a couple of guys from California who've gotten far enough in their tape manipulating life to put out Remissions as their second full length. And with 4 epic side long noise pieces, I have a feeling this slick double vinyl might be pretty fuckin hard to follow up. All together, Remissions runs about an hour and it's one of the most teeth clenching experiences you'll ever have listening to a record. "Sky Wire" is a song full of tape hiss and electronic washes, that sounds like the wind blowing through humming electrical ...

Summer has finally begun. What better way than to spend an evening with friends and take some silly pictures, play "rock band" on Nintendo Wii and pig out on junk food. Who knows, this could be you in the future: "Hurrah!" San Francisco's Photons feature the basson, glockenspiel, clarinet and a random assortment of instruments such as the electro-harp, sod-bottle perussion and bulbut tarange (Indian banjo). Photons - Where were you last night (mp3) (buy) It's rock sound that's a bit complex, with lush sounds and an indie spirit. The group has organically grown from people simply wanting ...

San Francisco 8-piece Photons has swiftly won over new fans this year with an energetic brand of indie pop that features bassoon, glockenspiel, clarinet, & a full chest of bizarre instruments such as the electro-harp, soda-bottle percussion & the bulbul tarang (Indian banjo). When Calvin Liu began to form Photons in early 2008, the original [...]
