Has ANYONE here ever listened to “Black Noise” by FM?

[chaunceyandchumleysdad]

Riot Fest 2018 - Day 2 – Saturday  This was my favorite day of the festival because it included a lot of great music as well as hanging with our good friends who came for this day. My wife also attended this day, her first time ever at  Riot Fest. (My younger son came this day as well, but hung out with his friends rather than his parents. Can’t say that I blame him!) The day also ended on a nice note as our friends knew a couple that lived two blocks from the Riot Fest entrance. We stopped by their home after festival and had pizza and beer on their back porch. Being an old west-sider, it was a treat to sit outside in the West Side on a sweet late summer night. These are the bands I saw:

The Frights (Roots Stage) An excellent band to start off Day 2. I was not familiar with this band before Riot Fest, but I listened to their albums and took an immediate liking to them. From San Diego (Poway), they played a great set of Surf Punk and Garage Punk. They engaged with the audience and were very energetic on stage.

Mannequin Pussy (Rise Stage) Already getting toasty from the intense sun, we retreated to the “chill hill” near the Rise stage to get some shade while listening to this band. They were OK. The lead singer is a female screamo. I like them when I listened to their records as she struck me as a Riot Grrrl type of singer, but I did not get into her vocals seeing the band live. She used a distorted sounding microphone, which I presume was for effect and not a technical issue. Whatever the desire effect, it just did not resonate that well with me. We listened to a few songs and then left to meet up with our friends.

Reignwolf  (Radicals Stage) This band was outstanding! A power trio led by Canadian guitarist Jordan Cook, they play a Blues based Hard/Stoner Rock. Cook is a fine guitar player and entertainer. (He played the Montreux Jazz Festival at the age of 15.) He would often hold the microphone in his hand while playing guitar and singing in intervals. The bass and drums provided the hard rocking backbone while Cook strutted around stage and shredded his guitar strings. Overall, I would say this was my second favorite act of the weekend.

Wolfmother (Radicals Stage) I periodically listen to this band, so it was nice to see them perform live. They are a Hard Rock/Stoner Rock band with a bit of Psych Rock added in. To me, they sound like a very typical 1970’s band. While I was certainly heavier into Prog Rock in the 70’s, Wolfmother’s style of music was ever-present on radio stations and turntables. I appreciate it now more than I did in the 70’s.  They are a four piece band and played a good set with some fine jamming.

Elvis Costello and The Imposters (Riot Stage) I thought this was a descent show. I think my wife was a bit disappointed, but I thought it was OK. I had seen Elvis once before, opening for The Rolling Stones on a freezing cold October night. I liked this show much more. Prior to Riot Fest, rumors were swirling that Elvis would back out because he had cancelled his current tour due to cancer surgery. But apparently he felt healthy enough to honor this commitment. (I think he plans to return to touring in November). He played some rockers, some slow stuff and did some guitar solos. I mostly liked the early stuff as his first album is one of my all time faves. He is reunited with The Imposters for the first time since 2008 and has new album out soon.

Jerry Lee Lewis (Radicals Stage) Well we had to see The Killer! At this point, running a bit low on energy, we opted out of being near the stage so we could sit and chill for a bit. The show was good, and pretty much what I expected from the 82-year-old rocker. His band played five songs before he even took the stage. (A classic format for early Blues, Country and Rock ‘n’ Roll artists.) He ended up performing nine songs, finishing with his well known hits Great Balls of Fire and Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On. Given his age, I thought he played piano and sang really well. Two thoughts crossed my mind during his set: The first was that as one of the early pioneers of Rock music, he is one of the reasons why we are at Riot Fest today. The other thought I had as I kicked back under the sky on this beautiful late summer night was about anyone that enjoyed his music back in the 1950’s. I’m sure a countless number of people in the late 50’s kicked back on a warm summer night and listened to Lewis perhaps on a transistor radio or on a car radio. It’s remarkable to think that 60 years later, we are listening to him play a live show. Along with Little Richard (age 85), Lewis is the last of the Rock music pioneers and it was a privilege to be able to enjoy a live performance.

 GWAR (Rebel Stage) GWAR plays Riot Fest every year. Along with Andrew WK, they are Riot Fest regulars. They are a Metal band with a sort of science fictions theme and bizarre futuristic costumes. I have never watched an entire set, but I try to stop by their stage every year for a few minutes just to get a taste. While refilling my water bottle before Jerry Lee Lewis, I stopped by the Rebel stage which was near the water station. I caught just a few minutes of GWAR, but it looked like a fun show. They are always entertaining and have a good sense of humor. The woman who’s home we visited after today’s festival told me she crowd surfed during the GWAR show.

Beck (Riot Stage) This was my favorite show of the weekend. Beck played a wonderfully entertaining set. I had not previously seen Beck in concert so I was not sure what to expect. It turned out he was a real crowd pleaser. He wasted not time getting into it by opening the show with two fan favorites, Devil’s Haircut and Loser. He had an awesome back up band that played with enthusiasm. At one point during the show, they slowed it down a bit and all the band gathered into one unit on stage to play acoustic renditions of Lost Cause and Blue Moon, songs that are from his mellow albums Sea Change and Morning Phase. The light show was very cool. A variety of projected patterns covered the stage through out the show and with some of the band member performing from a rise, it gave the appearance that they were standing in the videos. The last part of the show was great. (Spoiler alert if you plan to see Beck on this tour.) He started playing my favorite Where It’s At, but about midway through the song, he stopped to introduce the band members. At first I thought, “Why didn’t he finish the song?” It later became apparent that he would eventually circle back to the song. As each band member was introduced, they would start playing a solo of a cover song and would soon be joined by the rest of the band. They did parts of several songs including The Rolling Stones Miss You where they got the entire audience singing “woo woo woo woo woo woo woo” as well as covers of Once In A Lifetime (Talking Heads), In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins), and Cars (Gary Numan) which included a guest vocal appearance by Gary Numan himself. (He played a set at Riot Fest earlier in the day.) Maybe some Beck fans would have been disappointed that he did not go deeper into his catalog during the show, but for a 75-minute set on a beautiful Chicago night, I could not have asked for anything better.

SAGA: EPIC ACOUSTIC SYMMETRY AND BEYOND

Interview by Ken Morton - Photo by  Alexander Mertsch 

Saga has been presenting their sweeping progressive rock tapestries to the world since 1977, unveiling an intriguing auditory adventure on each and every album.  Symmetry is the next exhilarating chapter in the Saga legacy, featuring imaginative acoustic renditions of their classic songs.  Inspired by the final tour of founding member Jim Crichton in 2017 where they opened their shows with an all acoustic performance, Symmetry presents another side of Saga that longtime fans will want to revisit time and again.  Highwire Daze recently interviewed guitarist and Saga co-founder Ian Crichton to find out more about the vibrant world of Symmetry, the Canadian bands connection with Los Angeles with their song Say Goodbye To Hollywood, creating music in a pandemic age, and other topics of interest.  Read on…

How did the idea of Symmetry come about and what was it like revisiting these songs in a different way? The idea came – we did a final tour with my brother Jim Crichton in 2017 in Europe – and we wanted to do something special – so we came up with the idea of opening up for ourselves acoustically. It’s something we’ve always talked about doing in the past – about doing these heavier prog rock sort of songs acoustically – let’s do it! So, we put a set together – a 50-minute set – where we opened up for ourselves – and we had a giant backdrop which was actually the front cover of Symmetry – like an old library overgrown and all that which covered the main show. Anyway, people really liked it – it went down really well – so that sparked the idea of doing a record like that – and it took about a year and a half to do it – I was touring in between. But then with the event of Covid last year – I was touring in February – we got shut down March 14th – and I’ve been here ever since. But that made it really possible to get down and finish the record.

What was it like to record this music in the middle of a pandemic and all of this social unrest in the world? Was it more difficult to record? You mean keeping your eye on the ball and that sort of thing with all of this crap going on? Once you get into the music and stuff, it actually helped make everything else go away. So, there was no problem that way. It actually of helped, because I kept touring with Saga – we still tour – and that kind of shut everything down. And it was a challenge of making a record that’s not just a couple of acoustic guitars and cut down of songs. We wanted to keep it exciting and keep the same kind of feel – only on acoustic instruments.

I would like to talk about three of the songs on Symmetry then and now. The first single on Symmetry is Tired World. Give me a little background on the song and what it was like to do this remake of it. Tired World was on our first record – I was 20 years old when we recorded that. We played three years in the clubs before we started breaking out into shows. We used to play that every night and it was a great little thing, because you get a great long guitar solo in it. You really got your chops together playing in the clubs every single night. And do to it acoustically – yeah it was challenging. The solo that I did on that song – it’s pretty long – and I really had to think about it. I’d be playing banjo for a while – so what I ended up doing was implementing part banjo / part guitar and building a solo that way to make the same kind of excitement. It was pretty challenging, but we’re happy with the record.

Wind Them Up is the second single and the second song I’d like to talk about. Give me a little background on that song then and now… Wind Them Up was one of our biggest hits. I arranged Wind Them Up myself and I re-wrote the ending. I thought if we were going to do an acoustic record, it would be nice to tackle one of the bigger hits.  So yeah, I sat down and mapped that whole thing out on acoustic as a bed track and we just when from there.

And then the third track I wanted to talk about was Say Goodbye To Hollywood, then and now. Highwire Daze is based in the Los Angeles area and I was wondering if you have any connections to the Los Angeles/Hollywood area? We certainly do Ken. My brother Jim – our relationship with Los Angeles started in 1986/87. We chose a famous producer to do one of our records Wildest Dreams – Keith Olsen whose done mega records – and we went down there and had him produce us. We were living in England at the time – Michael, my brother and myself – and that lead to Jim moving to Los Angeles. We actually made a studio in his ranch house on Burbank there – and then when he moved out, he built a regular studio right beside Sound City in Van Nuys there. Jimmy built a full-on studio there for 25 years – and we recorded every Saga record in Los Angeles from 1987 to 2005. I spent a lot of time in your area Ken.

And tell me about the Say Goodbye To Hollywood song then… Okay, well that song was sparked – once again we were in Jim’s studio in Van Nuys. We were hired by Stephen J. Cannell to do songs in his upcoming show Cobra – which ran 22 episodes and was not a hit. The album we did called Steel Umbrellas was on the back of this TV show. It was kind of a different record for us. Anyway, Goodbye To Hollywood was one of the songs and that was going to go into the show too. That was about all I could say about it. That was the sign of the times, the TV show and all that kind of stuff. It didn’t mean I wanted to Say Goodbye To Hollywood. (Laughs) Because I love it down there. It’s like 10 degrees up here right now in Southern Ontario…

Have you managed to play any live dates at all during the pandemic? No. I had an offer from Quebec City to do a show and then the Covid numbers went crazy – up and down and up and down. At one point we were going to have this beautiful theater and we could have had maybe 300 people in the theater and then do a sort of small pay for view, put it on the net show. I was sort of working on that for a while. It just fell apart – their numbers went crazy up there with Covid and no one was going to be allowed in. Plus, the fact that Mike Sadler – our singer – Michael, he lives in Missouri in the States and he couldn’t get over the border – so that kind of shut that down. We’re all kind of in that mode, until everyone gets vaccinated or whatever is going to happen here.

You announced a few upcoming shows. What are you looking forward to the most about these Out Of The Shadows tour dates and do you think that they’re going to happen? In June? Yeah, we’ll your guess is as good as mine. I got a call from our tour manager a couple of days ago – tickets are selling really well and that makes me nervous – happy at the same time but it’s in this world – right? I’m told that the Norwegians are urging for shows to go back on and all that. After all this time I just don’t know. But I am going with the flow. If we could do it, it would be great – but we’ll see.

What do you think has kept you so passionate about Saga since 1977? It’s been like a family business with Jim and myself – with brothers – we played when we were very young as kids – we went into various bands and all that sort of stuff and ended up starting Saga. And hell or high water, we were hellbent on making this into something. And once you’ve put so much time into it – depending on if everyone is still getting along and all that stuff – I didn’t see any reason in discarding something like that. With Saga, I’m very fortunate – we’ve been playing original music my whole life. For me, it’s better than going off and playing other people’s songs. I haven’t done that. This has more satisfaction.

What do you think has made you and Michael Sadler work so well together after all this time? Well, I’ve known him forever. I met Mike when I was 13 years old or whatever. He was around. Mike and Jim were in a band called Truck – it was a cover band doing Genesis and Gentle Giant and all this. Up here in the clubs you could play Monday thru Saturday night, week after week after week – it was so healthy for bands in the 70’s. You weren’t making a fortune, but you were making enough money. You were playing every night and it was in a world where everyone liked going out to bars and seeing bands. So yeah, it was really healthy. And then comes the 80’s and everything starts shutting down, you know. Different generation don’t like to go out to bars anymore to see bands and all that. But Michael, I’ve known him forever and it works.

Do you still keep in touch Rob Moratti? I understand you’ve actually played on some of his solo albums. Yeah, I speak to Rob still. I’ve played one solo on one song per record. He did one of my favorite Saga records, The Human Condition.

What do you think about The Human Condition in retrospect – the one Saga record without Michael Sadler on lead vocals? I love it! When Michael (briefly) left the band, I spent the entire year, day after day, right up to New Year’s Eve – first of all, I had to find a singer – and I could not find another Mike Sadler. Michael’s got his own voice and stuff. So, I gave up looking for that. Basically, I just wanted to find a great singer – and the band was going to change a bit of course because Michael wasn’t there. And I wanted to make sure it was really good – and boy, I never worked harder in my life I tell you. I’m very happy with that record. I like all the songs on it very much. Rob did a fantastic job!

Are you involved with any other projects outside of Saga? I had been in the past – 15-20 years ago I put out a couple of solo things that were okay. I’m involved with something right now, but I can’t really talk about it – I’ll see where that goes. But mainly Saga. But it’s the biz – it still works – it still draws in (many) people and it works.

Any chance of any brand-new Saga albums coming up? We’re talking about it. No set date or anything like that, but there are discussions going around about doing another record like that. And I’m getting a lot of requests to do another acoustic record too – and tour acoustically too!

What do you hope 2021 brings for Saga overall? I hope the world gets healed and we get back to business and all that. Good will to everyone really. Saga is an endless thing – it’s the Saga story forever!

Do you have any messages for Saga fans out here in the States? I’d like to say from the bottom of my heart that we miss you. It’s been a long time since we’ve played for you. We’ve had a lot of requests on the Internet and stuff like that. We’ve had a lot of challenges too in being able to secure shows there, but I’m still going to keep trying. We’re still looking around for promoters – not at the moment because of Covid. But we hope to see you soon.

#682 Rush & Paying Tribute to Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks

Show 681Show 682Show 683

December 21, 2018

Famous for its instrumental virtuosity and heady, sci-fi influenced lyrics, the Canadian prog-rock trio Rush has amassed an obsessive cult following. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson of Rush join Jim and Greg to discuss the band's remarkable 40 plus-year career. Jim and Greg will also say farewell to the leader of the punk band the Buzzcocks, Pete Shelley, who died earlier in December at age 63.

Rush

Jim gets to unleash his inner thirteen-year-old this week as he and Greg sit down with Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of the Canadian prog-rock legends Rush. All three members of Rush are known for their ridiculous virtuosity on their instruments – drum god Neil Peart, Lifeson on guitar, and Geddy Lee, who manages to play bass and synths and sing simultaneously. Lee and Lifeson met in junior high in Ontario and released a couple hard rock albums with drummer John Rutsey in the early '70s. But the band really hit its stride when Rutsey was replaced by Neil Peart, who also became the primary lyricist. They began crafting epic progressive rock concept albums like 2112 and Hemispheres featuring side-length sci-fi suites. The albums Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures brought Rush radio hits in the early '80s, and the band moved into a synth-driven phase. Over the ensuing decades, Rush has continued to evolve its sound and adapt to new styles, while growing a cult fanbase that is intense to say the least. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson discuss the band's evolving styles, the existence of female Rush fans, and more.

Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks

Pete Shelley, the leader of the Buzzcocks, died at home in Estonia of a heart attack on December 6, 2018. He was 63 years old. Shelley's work was a major influence on a wide swath of musicians over the past 40 years. Greg points out the Buzzcocks were one of the first punk bands to eschew the safety pins and mohawks aesthetic, showing the movement ran deeper than fashion trends. He calls them "the next generation's answer to The Beatles." Shelley and Buzzcocks co-founder Howard Devoto put on the Sex Pistols' first show outside of London. It turned out to be a confluence of the future of Manchester's music scene with members of Joy Division and The Smiths in attendance as well as Factory Records founder Anthony Wilson and producer Martin Hannett. It was recreated in the 2002 film, "24 Hour Party People."

Jim points out the Buzzcocks' devotion to melody and describes their sound as“the Beatles catalog shoved into two minutes.”He also recounts how Shelley's first solo single "Homosapien" was banned by the BBC for“racy”lyrics. Fans have often wondered if Shelley's early embrace of synth-pop could have led to greater commercial success had the song been played on the radio. Jim plays "Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn‘t’ve)" as a tribute, calling it one of the greatest songs ever. Greg pays tribute by playing "I Believe," which Shelley closed many concert sets with and was an audience favorite.

@sinesalvatorem

The previous thread was getting a bit long and topic-drifty, so I’m putting this here.

---

The band “Shame and Scandal” borrowed some instruments from. (Wikipedia says this is not technically prog rock, but more the stuff that prog rock evolved out of. *shrug* Prog rock’s not my area. I liked Genesis a lot better after they sold out.)

(Naming genres in general is not really my area. I’m used to the kind of mishmash of pop, rock, and maybe occasional dips into electronica like you hear played in the background in grocery stores*, in which the primary thing that distinguishes one type of music from another is age rather than genre. That’s why I included decades in my categorisations.)

(That’s also why it’s possible for a song from the 1980′s to sound late 50′s/early 60′s, or a song from the 2010′s to sound late 70′s/early 80′s. Both of those songs were deliberately trying to sound earlier than they were, and it works.)

---

God, I know I’ve heard songs so much like “Obeah Wedding”, but I’m having a hard time thinking of any. I don’t specifically seek them out, and they aren’t distinctive the way “Light My Fire” is.

Hmm. They mostly phased out 50′s stuff from the radio rotations in the late 00′s**, and since I don’t seek it out, I haven’t heard it much in quite a while.

I’m going to play the opening instrumental of “Obeah Wedding” to my mother and ask her what songs it reminds her of. That might help.

[...]

...well, she said her first associations were cruises and Mexico and Florida, so in other words she’s too close to the mark to be helpful. She did suggest big-band stuff from the 40′s, though, and--once I told her what the song was--pointed out that I would be familiar with this calypso song. That one sounds very different to me, though (and not fitting into any established category in my head, I think).

While I can’t seem to find anything suitable, I can tell you that I think a lot of what my brain is going off of here is “slower-paced song with lots of horns”. Although I suspect there’s some more subtle stuff going on too.

---

“Rally Round the West Indies”: again, I swear I’ve heard similar stuff, but I’m not sure what. Some part of me is insisting “The Same Moon”, but when I put them side-by-side it doesn’t seem right. (They have kind of similar minor background instruments, I think, and that’s probably what that part of me is latching on to.) Another part says “Dance into the Light”***, which is kind of similar in the horns but not quite right overall (and might be cheating, because I suspect he might be trying to sound vaguely tropical in that one).

---

Overall, this was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Recognition-vs-recall issues, maybe. I’ll try to keep an ear out when listening to radio, see if I can spot something suitable.

---

*Well, probably not your grocery stores. But I know you’ve been in Canadian grocery stores, and probably American ones too. That stuff.

**Which is a suspicious timing. It may actually be that America just plays more 50′s stuff than Canada does, and it only seems like late 00′s because that’s when I moved.

*** /sees some of the music video while getting a Youtube version to link/ ...god, Phil Collins is such a dork. I love him, but he’s a dork.

Is Actually Fan Fiction Inappropriate?

New York City (Billboard) - Offered her typical draft beer mug-clinking output, Pertain to Mattress" is actually a surprising very first singular coming from Wilson's 3rd album. Those mindsets hardly ever reflected the worths represented in allure media: a lot of jazz authors of the fifties as well as sixties did not relate to Harlem to listen to popular music. Twenty years later, Gillespie took pleasure in a revival in appeal along with his United Nations Orchestra, which showcased his link with Afro-Cuban music. Today's youngsters really love the low-budget songs recognition as well as fine arts programs, certainly not the high-cost efficiency training courses that administrators use as a false trail. Yes, also Republican voters prefer blue to red (that is favorite of 33 % Democrats as well as 29 % Republican politicians)! DVD film buffs are identifying the graphic distinctions in between VIDEO and also Blue Radiation and also are actually improving to Blue Ray Disk gamers. Daniel J. Levitin: Just what our company find is that many individuals utilize popular music for mood policy as well as self-regulation. If you educate your guitar trainees ways to review songs too soon, they'll become disinterested as well as bored (stopping sessions in the process). Certainly its great, a provider needs to be an overall failure to mess also this component up. The major concept is actually certainly recycled coming from the previous labels and also theres nothing wrong keeping that. Tipitina's, or even Tips as the natives sometimes contact it, is one of one of the most music clubs in New Orleans. There is actually additional quality songs being actually made in comparison to in the past in our background as well as it is actually conveniently available to additional individuals than before. Although the colour bllue will possess been actually quickly identified that might have taken quite a while to comprehend why it is identified as blue. There are actually lots of songs gamers offered in the Android Market The majority of these current legitimate alternatives to the generally unsatisfactory default Android offering. The band was mainly preferred in the 80's around the same opportunity of Surge and also other preferred Canadian popular music performers. Lesson think about The Ugly Duckling are plentiful: You may discover components for multiple age along with for different disciplines (analysis, composing, dramatization). The band entered being in 1994 and also since then, the band has actually enthralled prog steel enthusiasts and also symphonic metal enthusiasts with their label of songs. Songs has a means of reaching out to individuals where other interventions, like regular speak therapy, job-related treatment, may certainly not," claimed Bumanis, a representative for the United States Popular Music Therapy Association (AMTA). What our project is actually is to steer songs forward, making that exciting, to earn this commercial in the very best feasible sense, to claim an orchestra can easily rock out. As MTV2 went down, yet another online video network rose up. VH1 Classic was merely video from the '80s along with what songs clips (primarily coming from television programs) they could receive from the '70s and '60s. If you are actually battling to make money at that point explore your local area popular music store and also inquire if they need to have any kind of instructors. These musical instruments consist of the clarinet, flute, saxophone, oboe, violin, trumpet as well as the right-hand man in the piano songs.

Shadows & Mirrors

It’s Labor Day weekend here in the United States, and the official end to summer.  We’ve already dipped into sunny days and cool evenings here in the heartland. Autumn will be here soon, friends. Tonight’s playlist is extra special – featuring tracks from over 25 artists, a mix of both modern and classic, with a heavy emphasis on the experimental side. This summer has felt surreal, so, this playlist matches that overwhelming feeling combining post-punk, dark electronica, jazz fusion and as always, a healthy dose of electronica.

This massive playlist that will air on Friday at 7:00 EDT / 2:00am CEST and randomly regenerates on Saturday, Sunday and Monday at 1:00 EDT / 19:00 CEST. Strawberry Tongue Radio is on-the-air, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, so you can always hear tracks from the artist below and many more!

A Witness is a post-punk band that was active in the mid-to-late 80’s indie rock scene. The band ended in 1989 with the death of guitarist Rick Aitken. In 2014, founding member and bass player, Vince Hunt reignited the snuffed out flame of A Witness marking the 25th anniversary of Aitken’s death. After the reunion, the band continues to tour today.

Adwaith is a Carmarthen based female trio indie rock group that rounds out tonight’s set with a punk-femme anthem that is as catchy as it powerful.

Ask for Joy is a one-man shoegaze project by Aaron Rossetto. Austin, Texas based Rossetto writes, performs and produces all of his own material. His sound is huge, with lush and shimmering layers. He is releasing his 9th EP on September 10th and we have a sneak peek of his new material.

Ghostly Beard is the nom de plume of Canadian visionary Patrick Talbot. Playing a blend of jazz, prog-rock, and pop fusion, tonight’s track adds a totally chill vibe to an otherwise eclectic playlist.

Carta is an ambient dream-pop project that involves a rotating cast of musicians from San Francisco. They describe their sound as being  “paranoid inner-vacuum micro-dub and ruminative post-space hypno-drone,” which is pretty succinct.  Tracks featured come from their fourth album, released earlier this summer.

Cesium Swimsuit and Walrus Tales make an appearance on the playlist with another collaboration that creates a spacey, floating soundscape.

Cling is an electronic duo from the UK with a surreal ethereal twist. The pair has been making noise since 2006 and combines glitchy hip hop and ambient tones. Tonight we are featuring a couple of their latest tracks from this female-fronted project.

Legendary Pink Dots have been creating ambient, experimental, electronic, indie folk, garage psych for over 30 years. Their back catalog is breath-taking, prolific, and sometimes weird. Tonight we are featuring a track from their newest release, Premonition.

Lex Audrey is a Viennese-based trio that combine euphoria and sadness, shifting musical boundaries between Rock, Pop and Electronica. The band sees the world in red, yellow and blue but when these three primary colors are mixed they turn to black. This band explores the spaces in between light and dark.

Modus Pony is the moniker for the independent experimental musician/ producer Matt Ackerman. Based out of California moduS ponY straddles the line between intellectual and visceral music. Like a modern-day Martin Denny, he creates music that is groovy, catchy, and a little weird.  Tracks tonight come from his latest release Phonogetic Ouch.

Shadows and Mirrors is an 80’s-influenced electronic project from Chicago. The project of Brian Diamond, his second release, Summerland, features all the great elements of electropop with a glimmer of dark sparkle. These tracks heat up our fading summer playlist.

Stockholm Monsters were a post-punk band from Manchester. They released one album and a number of singles on the Factory label from 1981 – 87. Discovered and produced by Peter Hook of New Order, their sound combines indie and pop sensibilities.

Suns of Arqa is a project that formed in the late 70s by Michael Wadada. He has continuously investigated the supernatural potential hidden in the Classical Raga structure of the music of India. His mission – to mix the cerebral and illusive cosmological vibrations of Raga, with the mother earth rhythms of Niyabinghi drumming that were surfacing in England in the guise of Dub Reggae. We are featuring one of his groundbreaking tracks.

The Cravats, post-punk sax-inflected surrealists, has released their first new material since the early 80’s. Just as quirky as now as then, I am featuring tracks from their new release. Plus, you can always find their older material in our regular rotation on Strawberry Tongue.

The Thought Criminals are an Electro / New Wave trio from London that play a sleazy and infectious dance-punk. We are featuring a couple of new tracks from these high energy electropoppers.

It's the end of summer. Here's a gazey/wavey/psychedelic playlist to mark the end of a surreal season. It's Labor Day weekend here in the United States, and the official end to summer.  We've already dipped into sunny days and cool evenings here in the heartland.

Ahhh Montréal, the province next door to mine and home of amazing food (the bagels!), jazz festivals, Olympic Stadium, car racing and Progcore Radio!!!

Based in the heart of the Quebec province lies a wonderful city with an amazing night life and tourism that rivals many other cities around the world for its beauty, grand places big and small to visit, music scene and of course it’s Canadian! As much as I can’t wait to tour the world there’s something cool about the places where you live and the more you discover your own country the more you discover things like PROGCORE RADIO based out of Montréal. A fitting place to set up shop in La Belle Province du Quebec! Why you ask?  Well for me it’s the city of Prog infamy for those of you who know your 70’s Prog moments in history.  It’s where the now infamous “It’s just a bit of hork kid! Come back!” show happened at Le Stade Olympique or Olympic Stadium where The Pink Floyd played their last show in 1977 on their In The Flesh tour, (En Chair et en Os) and Roger Waters who was already pissed off from their four nights at New York’s Madison Square Gardens shows of fighting and bickering with the audience over being too noisy and shouting, setting off fireworks was taking its toll on his nerves. By 1977 The Pink Floyd had grown tired of the massive stadium tours they were doing and longed for the small venues of the late sixties, early seventies where the audiences would actually sit and listen to them and absorb their music rather than show up already smashed out of their skulls drunk or high at a big stadium. The ’77 tour also saw their giant floating pyramid destroyed and ripped to shreds at their Pittsburgh show I believe, or one not far off from that gig. By the end of the tour it was becomming quite clear that the band was getting very tired and the last show of the tour in Montréal was a site for sore eyes as the band opened up and began to play their latest Lp, Animals. It was during the song Pigs (Three Different Ones) where some kid was hell bent and determined to get to the front of the stage and just as he did after being baited by Waters to keep coming, Roger leaned forward and spat in his face. Mortified the kid turned and ran away and you can actually hear it on the bootleg where Waters is taunting this kid to come back, it’s just a bit of hork come back, followed by his yelps and dog barks of torment at this poor kid who has probably never listened to the Floyd ever since.

This is the final show that helped pop the idea of a wall being built between the band and the audience to Roger Waters and it helped pave the way to their iconic 1979 double album release, The Wall.

So being situated in Montréal certainly has given Progcore Radio a foothold in deep Prog history and roots that go very deep regardless with music that has either evolved out of or gone through this city over the years. With endless streaming and a slew of bands to play Progcore gives Canada and the world its 24/7 fix on all that is good and Proggy in the world! Many great Prog bands love playing Montreal because the fans are so intensely in to the music and it’s usually the first or last stop on bands Canadian tours depending on which end they start at! One day I will hopefully experience these great fans of Prog music when I play there! With a great group of people running the site and some fantastic features as well to enhance their site they certainly give you an overall experience while you are listening to some amazing music from all over the world. It’s always great when Prog Radio online makes their websites more interactive and it doesn’t interfere with the music. You could easily leave it on all the time as your background soundtrack and like our previous blogs go from one to another channel and get doses form around the world!  With sites like this it’s amazing how many people still listen to commercialized formatted stations that play the same songs over and over and ruin so many bands for us! It is with always great pleasure to listen to stations like this because they don’t really repeat the same old same old songs by the same bands as there are so many artists out there and these stations make sure that such a HUGE variety of these bands get their songs out there and heard by as many people as possible and it’s also through word of mouth like the old days of pirate radio stations that we get the word out and tell our friends who will tell their friends and so on and so on! With a beautiful picturesque website and showing you who’s currently playing, Progcore brings you a bounty of sounds that are guaranteed to fill your head till it’s comfortably numb! So here is my telling you to get your Prog fixes again and where to find them and this time it’s another Canadian site based out of the beautiful province of Quebec from the island city on the St. Lawrence river, Montréal. Enjoy
