Who Boys NEW ALBUM!

Friday, May 4th, 2007

Who Boys LP cover

Yes after 2 years Who Boys have a new mashup album out called The Good, The Bad and the Who Boys it’s a mixture of noise, drum and bass and downtempo doo wop, it seems to cover all bases - regular listeners to Radio Clash would’ve heard 4 of these tracks, all of which I heartily recommend (and now can finally post) -

Voodoo Molly (Little Richard cosies up to Musical Youth, they wisely get very scared)
Stayin’ A Firestarter (caused, well, fires* to start at San Francisco’s Bootie and the Who Boys Shunt gig. * Or something the kids say nowadays…)
Scarborough Clocks (Coldplay goes folderol?)
Friends Stuck in Chemicals (Gerry Rafferty and friends meet Gary Numan - I wonder what they talked about?)

Of the newer ones the downtempo ones are really floating my boat, see also San Fran Chopin, Strange Pyramid, the funny Who Boys Choral Society covers. For noisy dnb see Blue Betty and We Will Chop You (Aphrodite! WOOH!). Needless to say, as before you will hear some of these new tracks on upcoming Radio Clash shows.

Don’t forget, if you haven’t already check out the show where they invaded Radio Clash despite UN sanctions and international furore…you might then understand more of the creative chaos that is Who Boys. Or will you?

Parkade Returneth!

Friday, May 4th, 2007

Somehow I’ve become co-owner of the Parkade club in Second Life- previously run by Andy Asylum, he decided to resign last week, I played the last night. A group of the DJs got together and decided to keep the place going, rebuild it and redesign it, so DJNoNo Ulysses along with Amanda Shinji and Topher Delcon are now owners of a club!

I’m doing the textures, signs and branding-type stuff, and even some tshirt design and Amanda’s doing the building and technical stuff - you can see a sneak peak here. Can you say Peter Saville? And Hacienda? Meets Garage, no not the Paradise Garage, a disused garage ;-) It’s going to be very grungey as an antidote to all those Dawn of the Dead shopping malls in Second Life, and will be the best looking club there.

The opening will be soon - watch this space!
