FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON and FREAKY CHAKRA invited to join Lollapalooza companion ENIT Festival Astralwerks recording artists Future Sound Of London and Freaky Chakra have been invited to join the lineup of the ENIT Festival. ENIT is an all-night electronic dance music event being held August 10-18 in four cities during the Lollapalooza tour - Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in conjunction with Lollapalooza '95. Located in a venue away from the Lollapalooza Main Stage, ENIT begins once main stage headliner Sonic Youth ends. The brainchild of Lollapalooza co-founder Perry Farrell, ENIT is a proverbial 'gathering of the tribes,' combining live music, DJ's, dancing, and avant-garde film into a full-on multimedia extravaganza. Multimedia masterminds, Future Sound Of London will be screening Teachings From The Electronic Brain, a 20-minute film created by the band in collaboration with graphic artist Buggy G. Riphead to accompany their recently re-released ISDN album. Culled from Future Sound of London's live broadcasts last year via the Integrated Services Digital Network, the initial limited edition pressing of ISDN sold out within three days of release (20,000 copies worldwide). San Francisco-based producer/remixer Freaky Chakra has quickly risen through the ranks as one of the best up-and-coming American talents in underground dance music. Freaky Chakra's debut full-length album, Lowdown Motivator, released this spring on Astralwerks, was met with overwhelming worldwide acclaim from dance music press, DJ's, and partygoers alike for his unique flavor that stands apart from his West Coast counterparts. Live, Freaky Chakra will be joined by fellow Bay Area cohort Single Cell Orchestra (billed as Freaky Chakra vs. Single Cell Orchestra) in a soundclash of analog electronics, funky beats, and soundtrack soundscapes. Accompanying Future Sound Of London and Freaky Chakra on the festival dates are Moby, ex-porno-star-turned-techno-diva-DJ Traci Lords, DJ Keoki, Farrell's band Porno For Pyros (Dallas and Phoenix only), U.K. ethno-techno experimentalist Banco de Gaia, and German wunder DJ Sven Vath (Los Angeles and San Francisco only). -ENIT FESTIVAL DATES & VENUES- Thursday, August 10 - Bomb Factory/Dallas, TX Saturday, August 12 - Icehouse/Phoenix, AZ Monday, August 14 - Shrine Auditorium/Los Angeles, CA Friday, August 18 - Warfield Theatre/San Francisco,CA For more information, contact: Amy Welch (212.886.7525) or Peter Wohelski (212.886.7506) @ Astralwerks, Julie Arkenstone @ Lollapalooza Tour Media (310.859.4200) or Heidi Robinson @ Lollapalooza National Media (818.953.7910).

What about Chicago? Boo hoo. Why don't they do a damned tour like the NASA tour and hit more than 4 lowsy cities? There are at least a couple people in the U.S. who live east of the Mississippi, you know. Mistress ov Pissedness

"Invited"? JIM MORRISON, JIMI HENDRIX, AND GOD "invited" to join Lollapalooza companion DEAD festival. What the hell does a press release with "invited" mean? Are they actually playing?

^^^^^^^^^^^^ I guess they are playing. Unusual, since FSOL hasn't done all that many live dates (in front of real people). Of course, maybe I'm construing too much here.

Apparently Banco de Gaia isn't on the tour after all. So we get overdose-of-hype-artists and Porno for Pyros? Thphphphphph. Makes me happy the Planet Dog folks decided to do a separate tour. I don't think I could stomach all of that to get through to Banco de Gaia, (of course FSOL is an equally difficult tradeoff). However if they managed to get a couple of NEW WAVE ROCKERS on the tour, that would be a different story.

Lollapalooza's agent, The William Morris Agency, could only secure the four which are happening. If they go well, the plan is to cover all the Lolla markets with ENIT events in '96.
