>
>COBRA KILLER
>Currently over in the UK for a handful of dates, this is Cobra Killer’s
>only London show. Sick psychedelia full of ping-ponging, carnival
>organ-grinding avant-punk trash: nobody can escape the grip of scarcely
>dressed Gina V. D’Orio and Annika Line Trost, drowning themselves in red
>wine and throwing their songs into the faces of the audience, their lyrics
>like haikus written on toilet paper. Cobra Killer have delighted artists
>from Peaches to Underground Resistance to Sonic Youth - in the words of
>Thurston Moore: “it was just phenomenal, like two of the most inspiring
>shows on a lot of different levels. I really loved it”. Their most recent
>album “76/77” sounds hot and highly energetic - 60s feel electronic rock
>with subversive lyrics and sharp breaks. They worked with artists such as
>the Devastations, Patric Catani, T. Raumschmiere, Erik D. Clark, Thomas
> Fehlmann and Rashad Becker - sampling, programming and screaming their way
> to a masterpiece.
>"Several acts belie the claim that electronic music lacks stage presence -
>chief amongst them Cobra Killer, who look like refugees from Faster
>Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and perform their set of charged, mutant disco like a
>pair of deranged go-go girls...” (The Wire)

>MOTOR
>MOTOR is Mr. Nô and Bryan Black. MOTOR is totally un-compromised music that
>deliberately breaks any musical restrictions or sound barriers. Electronic
>music practising a punk ethic, MOTOR is unlike anything else: abrasive,
>strangely melodic, pulsing like a machine. A sound, which by no mistake,
>has put them in a class of their own. Mr. Nô comes from the industrial
> wastelands of Paris, and Bryan Black from Minneapolis. Now based in
>London, the duo formed as MOTOR in 2003, meeting by chance in a smoky
>Camden underworld where Mr. No was playing drums and Bryan watching in awe.
>After releasing a string of raw, bold and innovative singles, MOTOR decided
>it was time to get into the studio and produce an album that would push
>things to an extreme not yet heard on the dancefloor in both power and
>energy. Their recently released (April 2006) debut album, Klunk (Mute),
>showcases the duo’s most daring and exciting moments to date. Packed with
>dark menacing grooves, corrosive industrial drumming and the lost, tripped
>out cranial bending atmosphere of a party that just didn’t quite stop,
>Klunk joins the dots between Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Final Cut, Plastikman,
>acid house and minimal techno creating a glorious dancefloor killing sound
>that is uniquely MOTOR.
>"A seedily thrilling album fashioned from unforgiving Teutonic rhythms and
>ancient, overheating synthesizer. Tracks such as Black Powder are as much
>informed by the dead-eyed nihilism of the 80s industrial music as they are
>by house or techno, but there’s an undercurrent of
>crackling-down-the-sleeve cheekiness that prevents Klunk from becoming a
>dull excercise in noisy machoism. Big, dirty fun.” (4.5/ 5 stars - BBC)

>NOBLESSE OBLIGE
>London based duo Noblesse Oblige’s forthcoming debut album is called
>‘Privilege Entails Responsibility’ (released July 2006) comprises an
>eclectic mix of disco punk, sixties’ French chanson, military beats,
>transgressive folklore and raw acoustic ballads with lyrical wit,
>controversial lyrics, humour and bad taste. Having toured and performed
>with artists including Siobhan Fahey, Motormark, Selfish Cunt, The Modern,
>Martini Henry Rifles, Kaito, Protocol and Boston’s Dresden Dolls among
>others, Noblesse Oblige have gained a notorious reputation for their wild
>and spectacular shows. Taking turns in playing bass, acoustic guitar,
>samplers, keyboard and drums, Sebastian and Valerie blend edgy electronics
>with a raw ‘live’ sound that captures the sleazy tension within the duo’s
>crass yet sensual performance.
>“Weimar Germany for the 21st Century dancefloor.” (Tank)

>CHERRYSTONES
>Who is Cherrystones? He is a DJ. But a DJ bigger than Elvis and freakier
>than the rest, he has been soundtracking the sound of young England today
>for the psychedelic youth of our nation whilst also gigging and recording
>with his band Prey ( also featuring Barry 7 from Add N To X ). Trust us. It
>is deemed to be the year of the Cherrystones. Applying a much learned
> hip-hop aesthetic and beat-matching to the varied freak show of
>kraut-rock, psychedelic, folk, prog and punk rock he effortlessly turns
>the dullest event into thee iconic happening, having already played with
>Josephine Foster, Dead Meadow, Six Organs of Admittance, Edan, Dangermouse,
>Wolf Eyes and the final Libertines shows to DJing the final freak-out at
>All Tomorrow’s Parties and Green Man Festival.

>CORSICA STUDIOS
>In 2002, after having developed several spaces in North London, the
>artistic duo Amanda Moss and Adrian Jones relocated Corsica Studios to the
>Elephant and Castle with a concept for creating a new type of space in
>which to experience art, music, performance and film. Four years later
>their idea has become a reality and they have transformed two derelict
>railway arches into a new and alternative independent arts venue. This has
>been achieved through a combination of hosting extremely successful
>undergound events, some of which have already established legendary
>reputations, and curating weird and wonderful nights that satisfy their own
>artistic demands. With the Elephant and Castle undergoing a major
>re-development, Corsica Studios is now firmly part of the area’s cultural
>renaissance. At long last there’s a good reason to enter the Elephant.
