Las chicas de Prince Rama ademas de hacer discos bastante interesantes, se han ido caracterizando mucho por toda la estetica visual que manejan sobre el escenario y todas las artes culturales de las que se nutren para la creacion de su musica (y algunas otras cosas mas). "Utopia = No Person" es un release bastante intrigante el cual consiste en un video titulado "15 Minute Exorcise" creado por alla del 2010 mientras se refugiaron en una residencia en Brooklyn para el proyecto Issue Project Room. Este video esta basado en diferentes artes visuales llenas de color y proyecciones [...]

Day One was fun. Day Two, however, was met with a splitting sinus headache and stories of crowded photo pits with iPhones and friends of the friends of the bands that got in as "Press". Such is the festival atmosphere. It is like an insurance conference where normal human beings sometimes get a little nuts. Regardless, we had a punch list and we were going to punch it. Head past the break for a few notes and plenty of pics. Nathan: I [...]

SXSW - Friday, March 16 Ominous tones suffuse the corner of Red River and Sixth this afternoon. At the no-longer-named Emo's Annex, the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival is in full swing. The guttural primal screams, pounding bass and speed guitar licks complemented the nearby Green Zone with its motto of "Free Range Against The Machine." For the first time in a couple years, I had an old-fashioned SXSW day, bouncing from venue to venue without encountering any lines. Not that they didn't exist, my plans for the day just seemed to avoid [...]

If you're a bleary-eyed space cadet with fatigue in your eyes and a scribbled-out schedule of bands in his pocket, the Spider House has a good chance of utterly confusing you. On this particular afternoon, there was a Psych Fest going concurrently with another fest, and some bands on some stages were in one festival and some in the other, but both were kind of good, so wherever you turned, you'd stumble into a groovy band playing kick-ass hard psych boogie. The Spider House coffee house is a sprawling, ramshackle place, with half-rusted wrought-iron bathtubs and other junk yard rescues [...]
Quilt playing the Pilot Light in Knoxville, TN on Wednesday night. After our stop in Virginia, QUILT's journey southward brought us to Chapel Hill, NC, where the trio played with Brooklyn... Support indie media! Read the rest at thephoenix.com . . .

As we continue our SXSW coverage, we're bringing to you a group that sadly gets lumped in with psychedelic rock, not that we don't like that style, but Prince Rama is so much more than that. They're a whole lot more experimental, combinging elements of Eastern world music, creating an atypical sound from the get-go. They played a great show in Austin earlier this year with Gang Gang Dance , so we expect another great performance. Oh, and apparently cats are the loneliest thing if their owned by touring bands.

After the success of his fourth album, 2010's Black City, Dear isn't taking a rest and re-cooperating. Instead, he's releasing this EP, touring, and preparing his fifth full-length, Beams, due out sometime this year. 'In the Middle (I Met You There)' marks Dear's f... Read more..

Psychic Ills announce co-headlining tour with Prince Rama New York City's Psychic Ills returned after a brief break with 2011's Hazed Dream , their debut record for Sacred Bones. Hazed Dream is a long stony trip, the album boasts their classic psych guitar riffs and also drone, organs and most importantly, the album is a return to songwriting. Psychic Ills have taken bits and pieces of their previous work and expanded their ideas into their most accessible album to date. [...]

Drawing from a collective mine of times and spaces, Prince Rama (made up of sisters Taraka and Nimai Larson) takes the threads of ancient symbolism and ritual and weaves a surreal universe that is wholly their own. Their often-unpredictable live shows graze the space between psychedelic ceremony, performance art and initiation rite. Trust Now, their [...]

Some pretty tasty remixes of Cadillac are on their way to keep their endless summer going... From what we've listened to our favourites are from Daniel Bortz and Ray Mang. Bortz lays down a wicked synthy chug to proceedings while Ray Mang takes this down the arms up summery power piano loops road. The lot will be available on vinyl as a double 12 inch with originals and remixes – a Future Classic first! - and in all digital stores.
![[Listen] Prince Rama: "Golden Silence" (Mater Suspiria Vision Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3957524_lg.jpg)
La semana pasada les estuve poniendo algunas cosas de Mater Suspiria Vision con motivo de su nuevo ZOMBIE RAVE mix y, si ustedes lo llegaron a escuchar por completo; probablemente ya lo esten preparando para musicalizar una orgia paranormal en esta noche de año nuevo. Hoy, vengo a compartirles un track mas que acaba de manipular este tipo para que lo agreguen a su lista de reproduccion pero ademas, este remix que le hizo a Prince Rama es algo 100% oficial (algo bien extraño... Aveces). Anyways, Mater Suspiria Vision tomo toda la [...]

Tonight is the night. In just a few short hours several of your more adventurous mortal cohorts will descend upon your living space for a seance that will lead into a paranormal, polysexual orgy. In addition to the living participants, you are hoping to summon up guests such as H.P. Lovecraft, Anne Boleyn, James Dean, or whoever else may feel like reaching across the realms for some inner and outer body fun. All of the pieces seem to be in place, when you suddenly realize you have no clue what music to play! It just so happens that this new [...]
The list is the origin of culture. It's part of the history of art and literature. What does culture want? To make infinity comprehensible. It also wants to create order — not always, but often. And how, as a human being, does one face infinity? How does one attempt to grasp the incomprehensible? Through lists, through catalogs, through collections in museums and through encyclopaedias and dictionaries. There is an allure to enumerating how many women Don Giovanni slept with: It was 2,063, at least according to Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo da Ponte. We also have completely practical lists — the shopping [...]
В мире, где The Beatles никогда не стали популярными, всей музыкой управляют специально обученные ведьмы, устраивающие непредсказуемые психоделические церемонии и символические ритуалы во имя своего сюрреали стического разу ма, а их пульсирующие шестиминутные эпосы звучат так, будто они написаны служителями какого-то бесчеловечного культа. Заклинание «Summer of Love» и видео к нему было записано в церкви, построенной в 19 веке, и представляет собой одну из самых сфокусированных вещей, которые когда-либо делали Prince Rama.
