Protomartyr Announce New Album & North American March 11, 2020 For Immediate Release PROTOMARTYR ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM & NORTH AMERICAN TOUR, SHARE NEW MUSIC VIDEO ULTIMATE SUCCESS TODAY OUT 5/29 ON DOMINO ​ WATCH VIDEO FOR “PROCESSED BY THE BOYS” (photo credit: Trevor Naud) Today Protomartyr announces their fifth album, Ultimate Success Today, out May 29th on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Domino. Following the release of Relatives In Descent, the band’s critically acclaimed headlong ​ ​ ​ dive into the morass of American life in 2017 (featured on myriad “best of” lists, including The ​ New York Times, Esquire, Newsweek, and more), Ultimate Success Today continues to further ​ ​ ​ expand the possibilities of what a Protomartyr album can sound like. Along with today’s album announcement, the band shares the video for their first single “Processed By The Boys,” and ​ ​ announces a summer North American tour. WATCH THE VIDEO FOR “PROCESSED BY THE BOYS” http://smarturl.it/PBTBYT LISTEN TO “PROCESSED BY THE BOYS” http://smarturl.it/PBTBStrm PRE-ORDER ULTIMATE SUCCESS TODAY ​ Domino Mart | Digital ​ ​ “There is darkness in the poetry of Ultimate Success Today,” says punk legend, founding ​ ​ member of the Raincoats, and friend of the band Ana da Silva. “The theme of things ending, ​ ​ above all human existence, is present and reminiscent of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Our ​ ​ world has reached a point that makes us afraid: fires, floods, earthquakes, hunger, war, intolerance…There are cries of despair. Is there hope? Greed is the sickness that puts life in danger.” "The re-release of our first album had me thinking about the passage of time and its ultimate conclusion,” says singer Joe Casey of Ultimate Success Today. “Listening to No Passion All ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Technique again, I could hear myself hoping for an introduction and a long future, but also ​ being cognizant that it could be ‘one and done’ for us. So, when it came time to write Ultimate ​ Success Today, I was reminded of that first urgency and how it was an inverse of my current ​ grapple with how terribly ill I’ve been feeling lately. Was that sick feeling coloring how I felt about the state of the world or was it the other way around?” “This panic was freeing in a way. It allowed me to see our fifth album as a possible valediction of some confusingly loud five-act play. In the same light I see it as an interesting mile marker of our first decade of being a band - a crest of the hill along a long highway. Although just to cover my bases, I made sure to get my last words in while I still had the breath to say them.” “There are exquisite, subtle gifts from other instruments that always heighten the guitar, instead of fighting with it,” explains da Silva. “They help to create a harmonious wall of sound all of its own. This was intentional. Greg Ahee wanted to use different textures other than pedals, and the drone quality of some of those instruments colours the guitar and the whole sound with a warm, rich in reverb, yet all-consuming landscape for Joe Casey’s voice.” The video for “Processed By The Boys,” directed by David Allen & Nathan Faustyn and ​ ​ produced by HLPTV & LooseMeat.Biz, is a play on a bizarre Brazilian TV clip the band became ​ ​ ​ ​ infatuated with. A man sings to a studio audience, while a member of the audience becomes enraged by a puppet, leading the whole situation to devolve into total chaos. “As soon as we heard the concept, we knew how to take the band's ideas and coalesce them into this sort of timeless public access chaos,” says Faustyn. “Because of the nature of HLPTV & LooseMeat.Biz and who we are - professional and hobbyist technicians - we knew we could pull off a really strange, funny and sardonically dark compendium to this song that is equally such.” Protomartyr is Joe Casey (vocals), Greg Ahee (guitars), Alex Leonard (drums), and Scott ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Davidson (bass guitar). Ultimate Success Today was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios, ​ ​ ​ a late 19th century church, in upstate New York and co-produced by the band and David ​ Tolomei (Dirty Projectors, Beach House) with mixing by Tolomei. Featured guest musicians on ​ the album include Nandi Rose (vocals) a.k.a. Half Waif, jazz legend Jemeel Moondoc (alto sax), ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Izaak Mills (bass clarinet, sax, flute), and Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello). ​ ​ ​ Ultimate Success Today is available to pre-order now on LP, CD and digital formats. A limited ​ blue-in-red colored edition of the LP is available exclusively on the Domino Mart. Ultimate Success Today album art ​ ULTIMATE SUCCESS TODAY TRACKLISTING ​ 1. Day Without End 2.

  • The Forgotten Revolution of Female Punk Musicians in the 1970S
    Peace Review 16:4, December (2004), 439-444 The Forgotten Revolution of Female Punk Musicians in the 1970s Helen Reddington Perhaps it was naive of us to expect a revolution from our subculture, but it's rare for a young person to possess knowledge before the fact. The thing about youth subcultures is that regardless how many of their elders claim that the young person's subculture is "just like the hippies" or "just like the mods," to the committed subculturee nothing before could possibly have had the same inten- sity, importance, or all-absorbing life commitment as the subculture they belong to. Punk in the late 1970s captured the essence of unemployed, bored youth; the older generation had no comprehension of our lack of job prospects and lack of hope. We were a restless generation, and the young women among us had been led to believe that a wonderful Land of Equality lay before us (the 1975 Equal Opportunities Act had raised our expectations), only to find that if we did enter the workplace, it was often to a deep-seated resentment that we were taking men's jobs and depriving them of their birthright as the family breadwinner. Few young people were unaware of the angry sound of the Sex Pistols at this time—by 1977, a rash of punk bands was spreading across the U.K., whose aspirations covered every shade of the spectrum, from commercial success to political activism. The sheer volume of bands caused a skills shortage, which led to the cooption of young women as instrumentalists into punk rock bands, even in the absence of playing experience.

Briefly describe the rationale for assignment to foundation area(s) and subgroup(s) chosen. This course falls into social analysis and visual and performance arts analysis and practice because it shows how punk, as a subculture, has influenced alternative economic practices, led to political mobilization, and challenged social norms. This course situates the activity of listening to punk music in its broader cultural ideologies, such as the DIY (do-it-yourself) ideal, which includes nontraditional musical pedagogy and composition, cooperatively owned performance venues, and underground distribution and circulation practices. Students learn to analyze punk subculture as an alternative social formation and how punk productions confront and are times co-opted by capitalistic logic and normative economic, political and social arrangements. 3.

Life on the Line. The fourth KISMIF International Conference “Keep It Simple, Make It Fast! (KISMIF) Gender, differences, identities and DIY cultures was held at Faculty of Arts and Humanities of the University of Porto, Portugal, between 2-7 July, 2018. The scientific programme of KISMIF was once again be accompanied by a diverse social and cultural programme, characterised by a series of artistic events, with special focus on underground music and other artistic expressions. The highpoint was clearly the participation of Ana da Silva e Gina Birch, members of the world-renowned band The Raincoats, as key speakers of the Conference. The conference was also preceded by a summer school entitled “What difference do DIY cultures make?” on 3 July 2018 in Faculty of Arts and Humanities of University of Porto. The KISMIF Conference offered a unique forum where participants could discuss and share information about underground cultures and DIY practices. Aligned with this is an anti-hegemonic ideology focused around aesthetic and lifestyle politics. KISMIF is the first and so far, only conference to examine the theory and practice of underground DIY cultures as an increasingly significant form of cultural practice in a global context.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Dan Graham Rock ‘n’ Roll 3 October – 3 November 2018 27 Bell Street, London Opening: 2 October, 6 – 8pm For his tenth exhibition with Lisson Gallery, Dan Graham draws on his long-standing history working with music and performance to present a new stage-set design, alongside over-sized models, video and a courtyard pavilion, exploring the relationship between audience and performer. Based in New York, Graham is an icon of Conceptual art, emerging in the 1960s alongside artists such as Dan Flavin, Donald Judd and Sol LeWitt. A hybrid artist, he has been at the forefront of many of the most significant artistic developments of the last half-century, including site-specific sculpture, video and film installation, conceptual and performance art, as well as social and cultural analysis through his extensive writings. Delving into the performative in the early 1970s – exploring shifts in individual and group consciousness, and the limits of public and private space – Graham’s practice evolved into the installations and pavilions for which he is famous internationally. Today, his work continues to evolve with the world around it, taking on a different reading in the age of social media, photography and obsessive self-documentation. A recent work such as Child’s Play (2015-2016), which was on display recently in Museum of Modern Art’s Sculpture Garden, is from a group of works that Graham describes as fun houses for children and photo ops for parents. The artist’s latest presentation of work focuses on the relationship between musical performance and audience. The space at 27 Bell Street will be occupied by a curvilinear stage-set which visitors will be able to walk around.

  • The Appropriation and Packaging of Riot Grrrl Politics by Mainstream Female Musicians
    Popular Music and Society, Vol. 26, No. 1, 2003 “A Little Too Ironic”: The Appropriation and Packaging of Riot Grrrl Politics by Mainstream Female Musicians Kristen Schilt “RIOT GIRL IS: BECAUSE I believe with my wholeheartmindbody that girls constitute a revolutionary soul force that can, and will, change the world for real” (“Riot Grrrl Is” 44) “Girl power!” (Spice Girls) Introduction Female rock musicians have had difficulty making it in the predominantly white male rock world. Joanne Gottlieb and Gayle Wald note that women’s participation in rock music usually consists of bolstering male performance, in the roles of groupie, girlfriend, or back-up singer (257). Even in punk rock, women are often treated as a novelty by the music press and cultural critics. Male bands such as the Sex Pistols and the Damned achieve rock notoriety while their female counterparts, like the Slits and the Raincoats, sink into obscurity. However, 1995 saw an explosion in the music press about a new group of female musicians: the angry women. Hailed in popular magazines for blending feminism and rock music, Alanis Morissette topped the charts in 1995. Affectionately named the “screech queen” by Newsweek, Morissette combined angry, sexually graphic lyrics with catchy pop music (Chang 79). She was quickly followed by Tracy Bonham, Meredith Brooks, and Fiona Apple. Though they differed in musical style, this group of musicians embodied what it meant to be a woman expressing anger through rock music, according to the music press. Popular music magazines argued that musicians like Morissette were creating a whole new genre for female performers, one that allowed them to assert their ideas about feminism and sexual- ity.

    The Music That Time Forgot Further Perspectives & Distortions (3CD box set, Cherry Red) In an interview I undertook for Punk and Post-Punk journal, Dick Witts of The Passage (a band surprisingly missing from this compilation), stated that 'You might say that post-punk existed before punk. It was submerged during the punk days, and re-emerged touched by punk but not imbricated with it'. Post-punk is notoriously difficult to define, but for me it would include much of the experimental music gathered together in this box set, which has the awkward – if accurate – subtitle 'An Encylopaedia Of British Experimental and Avant-Garde Music 1976-1984'. Here, says the press release, post-punk has been used as a 'paradigm-shifting lens' to bring together 'disparate names from across the experimental spectrum'. I guess that means musicians who carried on doing what they were doing outside post-punk but influenced those within, as well as the more experimental music being produced by post-punk bands themselves. I say 'I guess', but that's basically what we've got here. That includes synthesizer music from the likes of Blancmange, Chris & Cosey and Robert Rental; what became known as industrial music from the likes of Nurse With Wound, Test Department and Throbbing Gristle; improvised jazz or systems music from from David Toop & Paul Burwell, Stinky Winkles, Lindsay Cooper, AMM III, Lol Coxhill & Morgan Fisher, as well as David Cunningham; harsh subverted funk from Hula, 23 Skidoo and The Pop Group; spoken word or sound poetry from George Melly and from Bob Cobbing; and awkward pop and rock music from Eyeless in Gaza, Swell Maps and Robert Wyatt.
