Just wanted to pass on the word about an upcoming SF event: Neil Landstrumm
& Mat Consume @ Static, March 23:
No Future and Static present... an evening of TRASH, March 23
An unconventional mixture of live and pre-recorded incest
with Neil Landstrumm and Mat Consume (Shit N' Cheap), Lost in
Translation
and DJ Paedofile
$5 at the Cat Club, 1190 Folsom, 10pm - 2am. 21+ only.
San Francisco..In an unprecedented West Coast appearance,
members of
Brighton, UK's disreputable music-art collective No Future
will present a
night of Trash on March 23, at Static, San Francisco's weekly
purveyor of
techno derivatives at the Cat Club, 1190 Folsom. Trash
subscribes to the
crudest and willing (not mutually exclusive) listeners of
electronic music
and promises to be an experience not unlike chewing bits of
glass and
making out in the latrine. Trash will involve the use of
various noise
generators, laptops, and medium-rare vinyl by No Future
artists, Neil
Landstrumm, Mat Consume, Lost in Translation, and DJ
Paedofile.
Two crap prostitutes willing to do anything for a quick fix
of noise and
five english pounds - Landstrumm and Consume are well known
for their
'work' on MILLEPLATEAUX (Industrialsamplecoregouchbeat),
SCANDINAVIA,
TRESOR, MOSQUITO, and SATIVAE. They avow that while their
'music' has been
recognized as 'pretty good,' they are urging people to:
"Disregard this and
turn up for what will be essentially the sickest
bastardisation of sound.
Remember: music is dead, thank fuck for that."
Born in solitude and technology, DJ Paedofile continues
living in a small
box twisting his thoughts on even smaller boxes into the only
language he
can speak when not pouting impishly in one of his 4 corners.
A
thrillseeker, his sound is one of constant detour and bratty
sonic barrage.
Begun in 1977, as a part of the outpourings of a
green-toothed
ginger-haired idiot savant by the name of Johnny Lydon, No
Future remained
strictly underground and conceptual, for that matter, for
nearly 19 years
until rediscovered by members of Britain's second generation
of highly
publicized decay: the 'apathetic generation' - people brought
up cocooned
by TV, ecstasy, shopping, video games and electronic music.
Driven to
re-present the atrophied condition of their mother land,
artists and No
Future founders Cristian Vogel, Emma Sola and Mat Consume
decided to
capitalize on their combined strengths and history with
running Mosquito
Records and a Brighton nightclub named Defunkt, and adopted
No Future as
the name for their embryonic production company.
In the three years since then, No Future has grown and
mutated like an idea
whose time has come: it now exists as a fully-fledged tuff
little
international art unit, specializing in beat-based media
production -
electronic music, record labels, graphic design, articles,
truth, fiction,
Web site building and videos.
Static, happening every Tuesday night at the Cat Club, at
1190 Folsom, in
San Francisco, offers musical alternatives to listeners and
dancers who are
tired of pre-pubescent ravers, New Age missionaries and club
culture, in
general. Admission is $5 (21 and over, please). Come check
out the two,
newly fattened sound systems. Visit
