After making a name for himself over the last few months remixing the likes of Marina and the Diamonds and Feldberg and honing his production skills, Entrepreneurs is dropping his debut EP next week on a pay what you fancy model . Uv Been Robbed (joking, but not) lurches throughout with short sampled beeps and beats, but there is always one eye on pop melodies to hold each song together. Bubblegunk is my favourite of the EP and throws you straight into some layered beats before getting involved with the crooning vocals and rich synths [...]
This year Entrepreneurs will finally step into the limelight, and finally wow all the people that should have been wowed long ago. Let me just start by directing you to Entrepreneurs' SoundCloud , where there are 6 free downloads. All perfect. Start with 'Infinity' or 'Gare du Nord' - download, play, and read this. Entrepreneurs is, of course, the brain child of Adam Crisp who some of you will remember as the ex-frontman of our personal favourite band Elle Milano, who split at the tale end of 2008. Entrepreneurs started out as a side project, with the [...]
Back to some electronic sound with London's The Super Ego (AKA Entrepreneurs). Into the hip-hop style bass, fucked up glitches and warped beats. The track below is awesome. Well into the dirt fuzzed bass line. The solitary man of talent according to Last.fm has the real name of Adam Crisp. He is also responsible for a numerous amount of great remixes and other material under the guise of Entrepreneurs. He's just done a sweet remix for a great new band by the name of Al Cool And The Stranger Wines. They release their single 'Céline' soon with the remix on [...]
Next Friday will see the first and maybe the last shattered satellite party. It certainly won't be a monthly thing. I have no grand ambitions to be a promoter; my only motivation for doing this is to make sure everybody in The Victoria has the best time ever basically. To make that happen, I've put together a stellar lineup on a shoestring budget. I don't really trust most people, so figured the only way to start proceedings would be to do it myself. Or rather with my band, Al Cool and the Stranger Wines . [...]
this time next week (Friday 30th) i'm going to be preparing to 'rock the house' down at The Victoria, near Bethnal Green with my debut DJ set (don't laugh too hard). Jehan over at Shattered Satellite is putting on a night of "Arthur Russell tinged pop revelry" featuring live sets from Django Django , ColouringIN , and his own band, Al Cool & The Stranger Wines . they're all very good so you should probably come along, it's only £2. Al Cool And The Stranger Wines - Céline [...]
Tickly guitars, a streaky-sounding singer doting over a mythical lady, a chanted and muddy chorus... can it get more East London? Al Cool & The Stranger Wines remind of a good few other bands, but at the same they possess a charming, spunky swagger all of their own. Painting pretty worlds over catchy riffs, Mr Cool's voice is appealing - somehow naive and [...]
I'm late for rehearsal. Playing Videopia tonight with a remake of Jaws. I'll be wearing my guitarist's mother's Hawaiian shirt. Also serenading all you Jack Black wannabees will be the delectable Wet Paint. The CD is in my car, I was going to post you a song but there is no time to retrieve their album. Mosey on over to myspace in the old fashioned style and listen to Save The Whale . Coming on strong like a slacker version of that British Sea Power classic, Remember Me .
So things have been quiet round here lately because I've been partying hard and preparing for Glastonbury with Al Cool and the Stranger Wines. The ssextet which I lead are performing this Saturday at 3.30pm on the Dada stage in association with Club Attitude. Attitude is Everything is a charity which works to raise awareness and improve disabled people's access to live music. It's a stellar cause you can read more about here . People don't deserve to be treated like shit because of what they can't do. More about the music. I [...]
Of late, I've been doing this whole band thing again . One of the great things to come out of this is meeting Toby Gale, who plays the drums. He, alongside bass-playing Matt, studies music production and technology at Kingston University. Whilst mixing our recent debut demo, Toby casually slipped on his tunes. Jaws, and chins even, hit the floor as the sextet was struck by the poise and grace which emerged from the music of a character normally quite aloof. Endearing as his self-styled muppety alter-ego, Toby Toast, can be, it's perhaps necessary to balance a seriousness [...]
