Just a quick reminder about a show that we (Stained Productions and
feedback monitor) are presenting tonight (Monday, October 30th) in Toronto.
It features Dead Hollywood Stars, a new project signed to Mad Monkey
Records, from the same folks who are behind Xingu Hill, Ammo and several
other excellent post-industrial/electronic/IDM groups.
Remember that costumes are encouraged (and get you reduced admission if
they fit the theme - see details below), and yes, there will be candy. Woo hoo!
cheers, and Happy Hallowe'en!

DEAD HOLLYWOOD STARS are a trio consisting of John Sellekaers, C-drik and
Hervé Thomas, three artists who have been exploring various aspects of
electronic and post-industrial sound via numerous projects over the past
few years. Together, seperately and in collaboration with others, they have
recorded under the names Xingu Hill, Ammo, Ambre, Moonsanto, Torsion and
more, with releases on many labels including KK/Nova Zembla, Hymen/Ant-Zen,
Hushush, Flyco, Gun Music, Zoth Ommog and Foton.
As for what they sound like - well, it's not really dance music, but you
can dance to their charged downtempo rhythms. It's not purely listening
music, but few things will engage your ears and mind like their
ambience-washed sound. Within their upcoming CD, "Gone West" (Mad Monkey
Records), you will find catchy banjo-styled jangles, crunchy beats, boiling
guitars and night time ambiance. It is a stunning and picturesque ride.
Review excerpt from Grooves Magazine:
"(They) have dipped into the sounds of two seemingly disparate genres -
head-nodding downtempo and American roots music - to produce a hybrid that
could be best described as 'desert ambient'. Smooth beats and shimmering
soundscapes are overlayed with ghostly blues and country guitar riffs,
evoking images of the wild west gone space-age sci-fi. Imagine Ry Cooder
guesting on the mellower tracks from Moby's Play, only much better (and
less Starbucks-friendly), and you'll have some idea on sonic landscape that
the Dead Hollywood Stars call home."
