TLASILA/Sudden Infant: Euro Tour 2008 • To Live and Shave in L.A. (Les Tricoteuses, Savage Land Records, France, 2007; painting by Gregory Jacobsen.) To Live and Shave in L.A. (aka TLASILA) rip through sonic boundaries and demolish cultural mythologies with a kinetic mélange of violent, constantly shifting musique concrète structures, splintered electronics, and stark, dramatic vocalizations. Their powerfully evocative compositions can take the form of forty- minute Kuiper Belt freak-outs or dense, demonic, two-minute pipe bomb pop. Their avowed enemy is genre itself, their ultimate goal, unknowing. Hyper-literate texts, ungovernable performances, and a ruthlessly meticulous production regimen yield recordings without referent, sounds that garrote taxonomy. (TLASILA, live in Philadelphia, May 2007.) TLASILA was formed in Miami Beach, Florida in 1991 by Tom Smith, an alumnus of late 1970s-early 1980s dada-improv outsider cabals Boat Of and Peach of Immortality, and the earliest (1985) incarnation of Jon Spencer's legendary Pussy Galore. He was soon joined in TL&S by Frank "Rat file:///C|/Users/ommyth/Documents/My%20Webs/tlasila/tlasila_tour_pdf.htm (1 of 36)3/23/2008 10:36:47 AM TLASILA/Sudden Infant: Euro Tour 2008 Bastard" Falestra, a veteran of many aesthetically disruptive South Florida projects (most infamously, Scraping Teeth, and since the mid-1990s, the Laundry Room Squelchers), and Ben Wolcott, a filmmaker and lifelong circuit bender whose mammoth screeching oscillators sent early Shave audiences running for cover. Now a full-fledged collective comprising nearly 20 members, To Live and Shave in L.A. have released dozens of albums on a variety of international labels and have toured the world with jagged frequency for more than seventeen years. (TLASILA on Murray Street, NYC, during a break in the Noon and Eternity sessions, November 2004. Left to right: Thurston Moore, Ben Wolcott, Andrew W.K., Don Fleming, Chris Grier, Tom Smith, and Rat Bastard.) (Noon and Eternity, Menlo Park Recordings, USA, 2006.) The ensemble has been featured, reviewed, excoriated, puzzled over, and praised in the New York Times, Le Monde, Washington Post, The Wire, Persona Non Grata, Village Voice, Spin, MTV.com, Entertainment Weekly, Kulttuurivihkot, Multitudes, Vice, Signal to Noise, Skyscraper, Voir, SF Bay Guardian, file:///C|/Users/ommyth/Documents/My%20Webs/tlasila/tlasila_tour_pdf.htm (2 of 36)3/23/2008 10:36:47 AM TLASILA/Sudden Infant: Euro Tour 2008 Detroit Free Press, Chicago Reader (and dozens of other American alt-newsweeklies), Dusted, Blastitide, Perfect Sound Forever, Brainwashed, Pitchfork, etc. TLASILA, live, MEG Festival, Montreal, 2006.

Grier, Barranca, and Spurlock will join the tour at various intervals, engendering a shifting, ever-mutating mosaic of sonic deformation. SUDDEN INFANT Joke Lanz (aka Sudden Infant) creates an unique blend of physical sound-poetry and dadaistic vocal expressions, using contact microphones, prerecorded sound loops, and noises. A member of the infamous Schimpfluch collective and long time accompanist of Rudolf Eb*er, Lanz has presented his work for more than 20 years in venues, art spaces, and asylums all over the world. Born in Switzerland, now based in Berlin, Sudden Infant has collaborated with the likes of Z'ev, Carlos Giffoni, Peter Kowald, Christian Marclay, Norbert Möslang, DJ Olive, G.X. Jupitter-Larsen, Christian Weber, Charlotte Hug, Jorge Sanchez-Chiong, Roger Rotor, Strotter Inst, Evil Moisture, Small Cruel Party and many others. Lanz has also composed music for contemporary dance, theatre, sound-installations, and short-films. Innumerable albums have been released on many international labels, including Entracte, RRR, Tochnit Aleph, Blossoming Noise, Artware, Klanggalerie, and SSSM. Artist residencies include Berlin (1999) and London (2004). Lanz also receives composition assignments from the Pro Helvetia Arts Council of Switzerland (2006).

Left to right, Ben Wolcott, Graham Moore, Tom Smith, and Don Fleming.) BIO To Live and Shave in L.A. was founded by Tom Smith in Miami Beach, Florida, USA. Smith had previously been a member of Boat Of (Athens, GA, 1979-1983), Peach of Immortality (Washington, DC, 1984-1990), and Pussy Galore (Washington, DC, 1985-6); the first TLASILA demos were recorded in July 1990. A Short History: Smith met Frank "Rat Bastard" Falestra in 1991 at South Beach's Sync Studios. A co-owner of the dank, rambling facility, file:///C|/Users/ommyth/Documents/My%20Webs/tlasila/tlasila_tour_pdf.htm (8 of 36)3/23/2008 10:36:47 AM TLASILA/Sudden Infant: Euro Tour 2008 Bastard quickly joined Smith in the nascent collective. Two years of continuous recording and local performances (under the Peach of Immortality moniker) followed. By the autumn of 1993, Smith and Bastard had amassed a larder of eighty songs. During a Miami Beach rooftop party in the summer of 1993, Smith met electronics whiz, undisputed global oscillator overlord, and soirée host Ben Wolcott. As Miles Davis' Dark Magus album was the only music allowed on the stereo throughout the event, an invitation for Wolcott to join TLASILA was reflexively extended. Ben was convinced to join the burgeoning collective soon after. Following a lengthy post-production regimen, To Live and Shave in L.A.'s debut album, 30-minuten männercreme, was released on the Love Is Sharing Pharmaceuticals label. (TLASILA's 1994 debut album, 30-minuten männercreme. Sleeve design by Sam Patton and Tom Smith.) After the release of 30-mm, TLASILA engine went into overdrive. Between 1994 and 1996, they recorded the primary elements of twelve studio albums. See DISCOG below for details. In late 1996, Ben Wolcott spun off from TLASILA to join the remarkable mega-freak ensemble Frosty. A revolving cast of avant-garde and underground malcontents soon entered the Shavian fray... European tours in 1997 and 1998 featured Nandor Nevai, Billy Taylor, Greg Chapman, Julien Becourt, and for one exceptionally bizarre gig in Paris, Harry Pussy's Bill Orcutt... The 1999-2000 edition of To Live and Shave in L.A. comprised Bastard, Smith, Nevai, Weasel Walter (of the Flying Luttenbachers and myriad aggregations), and Misty Martinez. By the summer of 2000, To Live and Shave in L.A. 2 had arrived, and soon after, a full-fledged clone explosion. Smith decamped for Europe to begin OHNE with Dave Phillips, Daniel Löwenbrück, and Reto Mäder. By December 2003, Bastard and Smith decided to haul the Lamborghini out of deep salt storage and get back on the demolition derby circuit. Ben Wolcott quickly re-upped, and Mark Morgan, Don Fleming, Andrew W.K., and Chris Grier followed.

    BAD 67 ALCHEMY 1 Martin Büsser gewidmet 1968 - 2010 2 WHAT A DIFFERENCE A NIGHT MAKES Ah, Serenade kommt tatsächlich von sereno. Weil sie unter heiterem Himmel stattfindet. Der 10. August 2010 ist so ein Abend, ideal, um ihn beim WÜRZ- BURGER HAFENSOMMER mit dem PORTICO QUARTET zu genießen. Vier le- ger gekleidete Jungmänner entern die schwimmende Bühne hinter dem Heiz- kraftwerk und beginnen, die genial verhuschten Federwölkchen über uns abzu- malen. Duncan Bellamy an den Drums, Milo Fitzpatrick am Kontrabass, Nick Mul- vey klöppelt auf etwas, das sich Hang Drums nennt und aussieht wie drei Wok- pfannen und Jack Wyllie bläst abwechselnd Tenor- und Sopranosaxophon. Sie präsentieren ihr Isla-Programm und wenige Takte genügen, um auf den voll be- setzten Treppenstufen zu begreifen, warum die Londoner für den Mercury Prize 2008 nominiert waren, auf Peter Gabriels Label Real World publizieren und eu- ropaweit als Darlings herumgereicht werden. Der melodische Sound des Hang, einer Percussion-Novität von Panart in Bern, verbreitet mit repetitiven, harmoni- schen Mustern aus nur einer Handvoll Tönen die Wärme und den hypnotischen Sog von Trinidad-Steel-Drums, erinnert stellenweise an Harfenarpeggios, mit bloßen Händen gespielt auch an eine Mbira. Das Quartett lässt in seinen Mustern Debussy und Nyman mit Tortoise vexieren. Fitzpatrick zupft warme Bassriffs. Bellamy tickelt, tüpfelt und wischt dazu funkelnde und federleichte Beats. Und schon ist jeweils der schönste Groove beieinander, etwa bei ‚Dawn Patrol‘ mit seinem simplen Pizzikatodrive, in den Wyllie hell und sanglich betörend einfädelt. Der Clou sind jedoch klangliche Accessoires, die er mit Delay- und Loop-Effekten unterlegt, einfach das Klacken der Klappenmechanik, lang gezogene oder kas- kadierende Dauertöne, das Fiepen einer Melodica.

    Bitch the Politics of Angry Women

    Bitch The Politics of Angry Women Kylie Murphy Bachelor of Arts with First Class Honours in Communication Studies This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Murdoch University 2002. DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. Kylie Murphy ii ABSTRACT ‘Bitch: the Politics of Angry Women’ investigates the scholarly challenges and strengths in retheorising popular culture and feminism. It traces the connections and schisms between academic feminism and the feminism that punctuates popular culture. By tracing a series of specific bitch trajectories, this thesis accesses an archaeology of women’s battle to gain power. Feminism is a large and brawling paradigm that struggles to incorporate a diversity of feminist voices. This thesis joins the fight. It argues that feminism is partly constituted through popular cultural representations. The separation between the academy and popular culture is damaging theoretically and politically. Academic feminism needs to work with the popular, as opposed to undermining or dismissing its relevancy. Cultural studies provides the tools necessary to interpret popular modes of feminism. It allows a consideration of the discourses of race, gender, age and class that plait their way through any construction of feminism. I do not present an easy identity politics. These bitches refuse simple narratives. The chapters clash and interrogate one another, allowing difference its own space. I mine a series of sites for feminist meanings and potential, ranging across television, popular music, governmental politics, feminist books and journals, magazines and the popular press.
