Eye am Hear 03: Armchair Theatre this Sat 28th

Venue: Independent Armchair Theatre
Date: Saturday 28th October 2006
Cover: R30 Album sales: Buy CD's, or bring your ipod / flashdisk

Paul Ressel aka Humanizer (best known as the beat maker for Lark) has teamed up with visual artist Charles Lee-Thorp aka SimStim to present the EYE AM HEAR launches; this is the third of four, and the finale for 2006. The duo has consistently put together unique and surprising audio-visual performances. Simstim says: "It's lot more dancey, and with lot more storyline than before, we are building on the previous events: this one is definitely going to be the best."

Rumor has it that EYE AM HEAR 03 will involve some kind of bizarre version of a musical feature film, taking place in the funky Lo-Fi world of classic old-school arcade games, starring hero "REZ" (featured on the flyer) and arch rival "SIF".

EYE AM HEAR are one of the first series of album launches in South Africa to have digital music sales. Everyone can now contribute towards the artists through the digital purchasing of original music. Unlike normal music CDs, this album is available only in mp3 format, and comes packaged along with an interactive "booklet" including bonus audio and video material. All you have to do is bring your ipod/flashdisk/MP3 player and for R20 you can instantly download the package. Alternatively if you wish to have hardcopy, the multimedia disk will be on sale for R30.

Doors open - 21:00 Humanizer and Simstim o 23:00 Supporting acts: Darscan Tyrell aka "REZ"

life remote control

LIFE REMOTE CONTROL is 90 minutes of ruthless quick-fire positive brainwashing from the front line. Critics complain of a generation, raised on commercials, cable TV, and music videos, has lost its
attention span. This movie sets out to prove that our visual impatience is not a weakness; it is our greatest strength. No one can pull the wool over your eyes if they’re pointing in two different directions at once.
Film features the Artistic Innovation of: Shepard Fairey, Banksy, KAWS, WK Interact, Ron English, FAILE, Brian McGee, Malcolm McLaren, Space Invader, Monsieur A. and many more…

PRESSED UP BLACK

The Bin is proud to bring you:

Pressed Up Black

"The most ambitious South African rock record you'll hear all year" Miles Keylock, GQ Magazine, December 2006

Wild Eyes lead singer, Nikhil Singh releases his debut solo CD, Pressed Up Black.

In a scene where bands who ape a perpetually recycled punk past from the comfort of their 3-car suburban garage and a confessional roll-call of singer songwriters who earnestly tug away at teenage girls' heartstrings are hailed as 'cutting edge' it's tempting to read alternative music it's death rites. Until you hear Nikhil Singh's debut solo album, Pressed Up Black.It's liberating listening for anyone disaffected by a scene perilously close to flat-lining on its obsession with new wave nostalgia and singer songwriter schmaltz.

Released on hip Mother City indie imprint One Minute Trolley Dash, Pressed Up Black splinters the signature obsessions Singh showcased in his art rock combo, The Wild Eyes ' the sex, the drugs, the rock and roll'' into a brave noir world of avant-rock excess.From the tarnished glam and free jazz filtered garage rock gambol of opener 'Nagasaki Nikita' to the mutant murder ballad choking alternative country's corpse on haunting album finale 'One Hundred Dead Horses', Pressed Up Black injects an unapologetic avant-garde fire back into alternative rock's insipid recipe book.

So what's Singh's elixir? Simple: start by inviting a cast of marginal music mavericks including Ntshuks Bonga (saxophone), Brydon Bolton (upright bass), Heinrich Goosen (drums) and Jeanette Klaasens (violin and viola) onboard and feed.Feed your vocal, guitar and synth strategies into an audio abyss that an outrageously eclectic ensemble including Wild Eyes cohort Gareth Dawson (noise bass), Freshylground's Kyla-Rose Smith (violin, baking vocals), Frank Mallows (vibraphone), Niklas Wittenberg (piano), Morten Minothi Kristiansen (guitar), Lee Thompson (trumpet, flugelhorn), Righard Kapp (feedback), Dan Manojlovic (e-bow guitar, cigarette and plucked piano wires), Ramon Da Silva (kalimba, spectrum computer), Dirk Hugo (guitar scratches, overdrive guitar), Paul Opie (bass) and Simon Portlock (drums) dance a dervish around with their uncanny improvisations.Wait up, spectrum computers, plucked piano wires and cigarettes? Well, call it thinking out of the box, if it makes you feel safer. But be warned Singh's mission is more than a mere 'marketing 101' motto. Remember, Pressed Up Black isn't neo-this or retro-that. Rather than clone any seasonally chic retro-rock clichés or succumb to an underground stereotyping emasculated by it own self-indulgence, Pressed Up Black invites the listener to decode a flotation tank of mind-altering echoes that - depending on what frequencies fry your synapses - are reminiscent of everyone from early Lou Reed and Eno-era Roxy Music to Devendra Banhart, Bonnie Prince Billy and beyond. And here's the rub: none of this stuff strays far from the dance floor either.www.omtd.co.za
