CODENAME: DRACULA II - OCTOBER 26TH, 2013 - 8:00 PM - NORTH END STUDIOS - DETROIT, MI
The brains behind ULTRA MEGA AWESOME EXTREME and LIONCOOLMAN have teamed up again to bring you CODENAME: DRACULA II, which promises to be one of the wildest (and weirdest) Halloween parties you'll ever attend.
If you missed last year's event - DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE!
Aparition's sinuous, crepuscular music exists in the shadows cast by classic IDM and electronica.
With album releases on Aural Sects and Raveyard, Aparition navigates between spectral, hallucinatory synth-pop and shoegaze, and brutal, bone-shredding industrial beats and noise.
Bubblegum Octopus is a frantic, progressive hybrid of bouncy, cutesy pico-pico and synth-pop, grinding and noisey freakouts, 8 and 16-bit video game style electronics, touches of dance music and IDM/breakcore style percussion mutilation.
Crochetcatpause is an electro janky junk punk act from metropolitan Detroit, MI.
Some people don’t like to get to close to them when they perform because their swagger is a little unconventional, but those who do usually have a good time.
Dental Work is an avant-garde sound & performance art manipulation project by Jay Watson, based out of Traverse City, MI with roots in Detroit, Chicago, Denver and Oakland, CA.
The music is a rare blend of musique concrete, extreme psychedelia, anxiety, experimental, harsh noise, tape manipulations, glitch, grindcore, turntable-ism, sound collage, found sounds, avant-garde and outsider trash art.
The Detroit Party Marching Band is an ever-evolving collective of Detroit area musicians devoted to unanticipated revelry, driving jams and the power of the un-amplified horn blast.
They believe the essence of music is celebration and joy.
They’re devoted to deploying impromptu jams to celebrate life and community in & around our dear city of Detroit.
Kkrusty (Mike Taylor) began making electronic music in 2004.
After experimenting with many styles, he discovered chiptune (music made using or emulating the sounds of outdated video game and computing hardware) and began composing songs on the Nintendo GameBoy in early 2008.
His music mixes sometimes sweet, sometimes epic melodies, pounding, danceable rhythms, (not to mention the occasional 80's hair-metal cover) and never fails to turn any room into a frothing mess of nuclear gleeful madness!
Musician, double label manager, and self proclaimed King of Chipbreak, Nigel Shields, AKA Saskrotch, is a lovely young man from the village of almost-Chicago.
Selector Catalogue is a Breakcore/Braindance artist from the Mid-West.
He spends much of his time running killercore.org (breakcore distribution)
and developing the future of his label (Reject Records), playing shows and organizing them.
Mike Vallejo has a long history of music-making that also might not be taken seriously.
His latest project, The One Electronic, despite being cheifly classified as Chiptunes, has been polished to a very nice gleam of electronic music that anyone can enjoy.
Combining the awesome powers of acid and 8-bit synths, Mike has created a musical journey about a robot who falls in love with color.
Watabou is the solo electronic project from the mind of multi-instrumentalist Travis Jarosz.
With his blend of intelligence and raw power, Watabou aims to evoke the emotions of any audience to the utmost, be it through intensive melodies, driving rhythms, powerful words or any other number of qualities attributed to the act.

10/8 - Burlington, IA - SECRET SHOW - Amtrak Guerrilla Center (Secret Location)
Dental Work has been compared to a discomforting kitty litter infested heated noise garbage dump with a continuous shamanistic television playing vomit inducing pseudo-religious sadomasochistic rape scenes; A sonic chastity blast vision flask is administered just before you are served a massive hallucinogenic rat dumpling to aid in mental re-construction during post traumatic stress orgasms. You must navigate the canals of your swollen grey brain matter in preparation for Dental Work's mechanical pigeon dildo seance. High pressure delayed Ouija board manipulations merged with lo-fi serial murder fetish freak outs , ritualistic AM radio telepathy, unhealthy turntable modification and an array of urethra knives conveniently located within the anal salsa of humanity. Coming to a deteriorating urban wasteland near you, during the "Young Latina Lost In Mexican Transylvania Tour".
The Bayside Bombshells will be returning to ArtPrize this year with a show unlike any other! Fear and Loathing at ArtPrize: A Savage Musical Journey to the Heart of the Burlesque Dream :) This performance will be held at Dr. Grins Comedy Club (located inside the B.O.B.) in Grand Rapids, MI on September 21st @ 3:00pm and September 22nd @ 8:00pm :)
Fear and Loathing at ArtPrize portrays the misadventures of Hunter S. Thompson (counter culture icon, Gonzo journalist, and well rounded trouble maker.), putting the good Doctor of journalism on an assignment unlike any other. He finds himself plunging head first on a savage journey through Grand Rapids' ArtPrize competition to find the Bayside Bombshells . In true Gonzo fashion the Bombshells eliminate the lines between fact and truth, life and art, reality and drug induced perception.
"The Bayside Bombshells, the answer to Northern Michigan's prayers for naughty, bawdy entertainment. With some sultry striptease, comedic hijinks, and the dramatic depth of a Liza Minnelli-esque drag queen deliver a night of entertainment that will send you smiling all the way to confession. Come for a celebration of classy vulgarity. Not for the weak of heart! ... unless you set your pacemaker to vibrate. ;)"

MAUTHAUSEN
ORCHESTRA:
"One
of the early Italian power-electronics projects, Mauthausen Orchestra, in the
person of Pierpaolo Zoppo, started in 1982, releasing tapes on his own label
Aquilifer Sodality. His work explored morbid subjects, usually extreme sex,
perversion, tortures and disease, and the sound was a
brutal collage of noise, electronics distortions and inhuman vocals. Mauthausen
Orchestra stopped in 1986, some recordings from 1988 were published ten years
later by Xn Recordings.In 1997 Zoppo
resurrected the project and released some new material, while a series of reissues
of the early cassettes was published by Slaughter Productions. "-
Statement found on Wikipedia
CRUCIAL
BLAST RECORDS REVIEW: MAUTHAUSEN ORCHESTRA Under Control 7" VINYL
(Placenta Recordings):
"One
of the key figures of the Italian post-industrial scene, Pierpaolo Zoppo (aka
Mauthausen Orchestra) died suddenly in early 2012, leaving behind a body of
work that includes some of the most diseased and evil-sounding electronic music
ever. While his more recent recordings tended to
be a bit hit and miss in terms of , I've still followed his work over the years
and was bummed to hear that he had died this past spring. Apparently the last
thing that Zoppo had been working on releasing prior to his death was this
7" for Placenta, the two-song Under Control 7",
and it’s one of the better of his later recordings. Housed in a white jacket
with the sort of morbid, cadaverous imagery that adorned his classic
Necrofellatio and Murderfuck cassettes, Under Control features two tracks of
writhing industrial creep. The a-side bursts like a blister as "Under
Control" pours forth in an oozing mess of flanged distortion and thumping
low-end noise, the extreme low frequencies creating a strange fluttering effect
as the speakers reverberate with the whump of Zoppo's synth. Like a lot of his
later material, this is more of an abstract noisescape
than the rotting, evil death industrial primitivism of his iconic 80's output,
but it's still plenty bleak, a macro-view of collapsing machinery and diseased
circuit-boards, revealing the vaguest hints of musicality in the strange
descending note patterns that emerge in the final throes of the track.
"Edge Of No Control" slowly drifts in on a wave of warped, atonal
synth notes and buzzing distortion, this amorphous mass sounding like some
ectoplasmic residue from a carnival freaktent, as Zoppo slowlyintroduces additional layers of warbling
synth notes, clusters of
misshapen melody that later drop in and out as the track evolves into an
expanse of rumbling noise and creepy minor key melodies take shape, eventually
turning into an alien sort of church music. Limited to two hundred fifty
copies."

"I am a huge
fan and supporter of Mauthausen Orchestra and we were working together very
well. He even got his request of transparent blue vinyl. Shame on everyone who
doubted us. We released the FINAL recordings of Mauthausen Orchestra, and we
are proud to have worked with such a legend. R.I.P. Pierpaolo Zoppo, my friend
and a huge inspiration to many. Now you can hear the full uncut versions of his
material for the "Under Control" 7" record, which were
originally
shortened for time on the vinyl. Enjoy!
