Showpaper 42nd Street Gallery

I can't even begin to describe this myself, so I will paste the description I received at the bottom of this update. I will try to do some of my holiday songs at this event, if I can relearn them.

RADIO SHOCK on BANDCAMP!

Several Radio Shock albums can be streamed in high quality and free of charge at this great site:

http://radioshock.bandcamp.com

You can also buy and download the digital albums in whatever format you might like. I set the prices pretty low and the physical versions of these are all out of print, so get 'em while they're hot. Or just listen as much as you want.

**********
The band BEFORE Radio Shock

I also added to bandcamp the one album by the band which preceded Radio Shock, COCK ROBOT. This band was formed in Syracuse, NY and featured myself, Carl Diehl, and Toaster. I still really like our album, ELECTRIC YOUNG MEN, which I've made available here:

http://cockrobot.bandcamp.com

This one you can download for free! Happy holidays! Just click the BUY NOW and enter a ZERO in the "Name Your Price" field. You can pay for it if you want, but seriously, it's cool, have it for free. I insist. There was also a Cock Robot split 7" and a few unreleased tracks, so they may show up there in the future.

Radio Shock in Miami, Hot War in NYC Feb.4th

The annual International Noise Conference is almost here, and I just finalized travel plans, so both RADIO SHOCK and the other band I'm in, HOT WAR, will be performing on Saturday, Feb.13th at that event.

http://www.last.fm/event/1392306+International+Noise+Conference

This insane "conference" takes place in Miami, Florida, so anyone getting this message is probably either already going or can't make it - but there's plenty of time to make your flight reservations for 2011! Over 100 freaky noise bands play for 15 minutes each over 3 days, for free, at a place called Churchill's.

The full schedule will be posted here:
http://squelchers.net/inc.htm

**********

also... HOT WAR is playing a warm-up show in Manhattan, tomorrow, Thursday Feb.4th!

Alphabet Lounge
104 Ave. C (at 7th St.)
NYC, NY

Also playing this event is the amazing and highly recommended band PARANOID CRITICAL REVOLUTION (twisty-turny no-wave/noise-rock), as well as a math-rock band and a techno group. Might be weird. The schedule looks something like this:

8pm Jay Double Okay (myspace.com/jaydoubleokay)
9pm The 1000 Year Plan (myspace.com/1000yearplan)
10pm Hot War (www.hotwar.net)
11pm The Paranoid Critical Revolution (myspace.com/theparanoidcriticalrevolution)

And these times are likely to be pretty accurate. Except PCR may go on earlier. HOT WAR plays a short set.

RadioShock @ awesome show TONITE in Brooklyn 1/27 DBA

I just opened my email this morning and saw the sweet attached virtu-flyer for tonight's show. Very nice. Very appropriate.

TONIGHT, Wed. Jan. 27th: a show I am totally thrilled to be a part of:

at DEATH BY AUDIO

49 S. 2nd betw. Kent and Wythe

showtime: 9PM start

featuring Brooklyn local noise/rock heroes WHITE SUNS,

RADIO SHOCK

which may or may not feature back-up dancers and special surprises.

And these 2 super-amazing bands from Philadelphia:

DRUMS LIKE MACHINE GUNS

will feature swirling noise, headbanging action, high-fives, and yes, drums like machine guns, probably all within 15 minutes.

and NERVOUS SEX

who make noise-rock that's actually rock songs crafted out of noise.

Also MY MIND

about whom I know nothing.

**********

NOISE PARTY WEEK CONTINUES:

Hot tip: The very next night, the 28th at Death by Audio is another great show featuring DOGSYNTH and FORM A LOG, which is a sort of super-group of amazing people I know from other bands which blow my mind. Also recommended.

last second venue change TONIGHT fri Jan 15

The show tonight has moved !!! Please make a note !!!

It is now taking place at Goodbye Blue Monday, at 1087 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY - in beautiful Bushwick.

Starting 8:00 PM - in the BACK ROOM.

RADIO SHOCK is probably on at 10:30. PROBABLY.

This is near the Kozsciusczko stop on the J train or not too far from the J,M, and Z stop at Myrtle.

If you are getting the impression that this show will be chaotic and strange, you are probably right! AWESOME.

Betray 8:30

sediment club: 9:00

Rainbow party: 9:30

Abraham Rubin: 10:00

Radio Shock: 10:30

I know what you're thinking: headlining? Well, there's also the possibility that I may go on around 9-9:30ish - plus at least 2 of the other bands are really fantastic. the other 2 I don't know but they are probably fantastic too. So you probably want to get there a little earlier

MOVED TO:


GOOD BYE BLUE MONDAY

Brooklyn, NY

Sorry for the late notice! For about a minute this was going to be a show by my other band Hot War but now Radio Shock is going to fill in. See you there!
