PLURAMON / KID606 / DATACH'I NATIONAL TOUR ANNOUNCEMENT
The current state of electronic music has been hit upside the head by a new
wave of artists out to do more than just shake your ass on the dance floor.
This is dance music, this is head music... music for club kids who don't
like to go to clubs. A laptop revolution that has blemished electronic
music forever more and spawned a dedicated scene of the most radical sorts.
This tour brings together two of America's most insanely captivating
electronic musicians and introduces a RARE performance for the first time
ever in N. America, live with drummer and guitar, one of Germany's leading
innovators of the late 20th century.
With Pluramon, aka Marcus Schmickler, one might call his music rock, but
with an approach to spacial effect and aural satisfaction. With guitar, a
live drummer and laptop he tweaks them together with spectacular results. As
Pluramon, he's recruited such esteemed musicians as Jaki Liebezeit (of Can)
and Jan St.Werner (of Mouse On Mars & Microstoria) to enlist their take on
beats and pieces, this N. American debut promises to be like no other.
Touring in support of his latest remix record, "Bit Sand Riders" on Mille
Plateaux that features reworking by some of the most genre defying musicians
currently that include Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Mogwai, High Llamas, snd,
Atom Heart, and Sensorama.
kid 606...is he the the devil, just insane or a mad genius? Making tons of
noise with every major press junkie from around the world (he's been written
about in Spin, Village Voice, the Wire, NME, Melody Maker, Seattle Weekly,
CMJ, etc.). The kid's been kicking up dirt recently remixing NWA's "Straight
Out Of Compton" and blowing eardrums with his latest release "Down With The
Scene" on Ipecac not to mention a harmonious October 31 release entitled
"p.s. I love you" on Mille Plateaux. His M.O.: Laptop pyrotechnics via beat
dispatching with a nonsensical view on what can and cannot be broken down.
In other words, this kid is punk rock techno. Envision Alec Empire, and
Merzbow being taught music by Steve Reich and Brian Eno.
Datach'i has had a stunning presence on the electronic scene...with a wit
only matched by artists like Aphex Twin, kid 606, & Bogdan Raczynski. Beats,
beats, and more beats until your musical senses are dulled to pulp, and
probably the most dancy-est of the bunch, but not quite. His latest record,
"wearealwayswellthankyou" on Caipirinha, is future music gone A.D.D. with a
sweet charm you cannot resist. It's playful, maniacal, and downright
sophisticated. Almost unlike anything you've ever heard.
Come see what all the noise, I mean fuss, is all about. We think you'll like
what you hear.
