the Soundboy Yakuza tour is now over, open arms to everyone who came out and represented, raised eyebrows to everyone who wrote us saying "damn! i missed the gig near me, when are you coming back?" and clenched fists for anybody who opted to stay home programming their homecomputer instead of shaking it to the boy sounds of the Yakuza. right now, lex and kid are snuggled soundly in the guest bedroom (yes, together) of kidwell manor, resting up for the flight back to the left coast in a few hours. somewhere in Europe a tour 7" is being pressed for underscore. meanwhile, you can enjoy these two spicy seven inch singles from the _ family. limited pressing on these, all tracks exclusive. order thru s://kimo (skimomusic@home.com), or pick em up at etheria or kim's in NYC. more stores/distros will be down with the _family soon... contact ____ (cardhore@juno.com) if you wanna get down. unsc001 7" cex vs. colongib :: cex "blearily wonky rock lad" :: cex vs. colongib "at least one unwilling... (at least i'm not made of tin mix)" the a-side is a funky electro track tailor made for those moments when you've just pulled off a balls-out piece of badassism, like the music you would put in your ghetto blaster and booty dance to in a ridiculous thrift store jogging suit and fake mustache after showing up uninvited to a lame party held by some guy who used to make fun of you in school. the b-side is a cool and bubbly remix by Colongib of the first track from Cex's cdrlp, "Cells." Where the first track thrives on beats that lock down a groove, beats float in and out of this track, twisting and banging around like a robot boy who doesnt want to take a bath. unsc003 7" kid606 vs. chris coady :: kid606 "just another kool kat out looking for a kitty" :: kid606 vs chris coady "silver egg (silver ovary mix)" on the a-side, the very same kid606 known for his noisy rebuke of musical conventions gets up close and personal with a very melodic and very moving track. the sounds of a concerned female voice sampled off an answering machine runs processed over soaring strings, big urgent beats and a great use of the straight-up piano that puts "On" to shame. it hits like her handwriting in those last few letters you keep in your top desk drawer. on the b-side, newcomer Chris Coady gives kid606's "silver egg" a big chilly blast of cooled-down electro.. atmospheric synths surge underneath techincally textured beats. it's sinister, but sinister like hitmen on a summer day when work is slow and they're just crusing around, killing time, and maybe they get an italian ice. everyone should feel free to drop me a mail for any reason, rjyan = cardhore@juno.com. ,rj../ ___,"multsanta.home.sprynet.com/underscore
