It's amazing how fast our mailbox fills up, so here is news and
info, both old and new:
BANDS:
Electrostatic:
One
of my favorite songs is called Replica, from this
trio. Mixture of electro and upbeat gothy female vocals. You
owe it to yourself to check them out.
REwire:
The Bishop is back--Chad Bishop of STG
and Idiot Stare among other bands. Features the good old mix
of heavy guitar, electronics and Chad's vocals that made Idiot
Stare's Blinded such a great CD.
Deathboy:
This is a one-man band with a wide variety of styles
under one moniker. Some of the vocals remind me of Sister
Machine Gun.
LABELS:
ADSR
Musicwerks:
The
following is what ADSR's bands are up to, as of October 2000:
FOCKWOLF
Fockewolf is currently working on a 6 song e.p. entitled "Excommunicate",
hopfuly to be realeased in January. The band's sound is moving
in a dark trip-hop direction. Early working titles for the
tracks include 'Winter Flowers', 'Dead Romance', and 'Dark
On All Fronts'. Currently the band is not playing live.
NOXIOUS EMOTION
After their brief stint as an opening act for many of the
Apoptygma Berzerk/VNV Nation live dates, NE is talking a brief
hiatus from playing live to work on new music. An EP, tentatively
entitled "Senses", is in the works, with a release date sometime
early next 2001.
Noxious Emotion would also like to thank everyone that came
out to see them perform last Septemeber - and for those that
may have missed them, a possible tour in the spring of 2001
is still in the works...
THOUSHALTNOT
ThouShaltNot has two new compilation appearances, each with
an exclusive track. "Cracked (coda mix)" was just released
on the Subhuman compilation on Hard Disc records (alongside
Attrition, Dive, Biopsy, and Diverje) and ThouShaltNot's cover
of The Cure's "Pillbox Tales" appears on the monstrous 14-CD
tribute to The Cure entitled "Pink Pig". This compilation
was given a full page writeup in the latest issue of Spin
magazine.
TSN
are nearing completion of an EP to be released this Spring
on ADSR Musicwerks. This release will be a gigantic step forward
for the band. ThouShaltNot is also preparing a special European-only
release for this winter. We are also working on remixes for
Rhea's Obsession and Noxious Emotion.
APOCRYPHO
Apocrypho's "Blame" is included in the upcoming Blacklight
Records' THE TIME CAPSULE 2000 BOXSET.
Lupos Sobre-Vega and Sir Warren Deacon-Wren's screenplay "Rock
and Roll Radio" will be presented to Hollywood development
executives, story editors, agents and producers on the exclusive
industry insiders website on IFILM.COM beginning October 28.
Their screenplay "Sign Language" placed in the top ten percent
of the current Nicholl/Academy screenwriting contest. They
are currently at work on a new screenplay.
Brian Gross, lead singer of APOCRYPHO, started working on
a new album called "The Sun" under the side-project name,
FIG. 1. The album is quickly taking shape, and he has finished
five tracks already!

Damn time flies by so fast, and my bioduplicator is broken. You
know what that means; I can't clone myself to help with the workload.
We received
some great pics for the "Wrap
Yourself In Wire" photo contest. I thought I'd have
them up by now, but alas... give me another day or two ;-)
Now a question
for you the humble reader: What's a good name for the Humor
section? All our other primary subsections have names related
to darkness or electrical. If you have a suggestion, email
it.
And so
here for you is a single new pic added to the Humor
section...

Quick update to share some stupid/funny web links with ya:
Am
I Hot or Not? is a site that encourages people to submit
photographs and let others rate them. As you can imagine, this
is a recipe for broken egos if I've ever seen one (ratings are
rather harsh if you're anything less than supermodel calibur!)
Hot
Monkeys: Now this is more like it. A parody of the above
site featuring nothing but red-hot monkey love! Nothing like
a cute poo-thrower to really make my day, ohhh yeahh!
Robot
Life: Ever wonder what a couple of average suburban
robots do to pass time? Check out this online photo album. Oh
those crazy gear-heads!
