Hello again... lots of news this time...
* NEXT LIVE SHOW: Saturday 6th December
Our next show is at The Fan Club (http://thefanclub.info), and the
evening will be a special night devoted to the new PET SHOP BOYS
singles collection, "PopArt".
As well as numerous PSB giveaways courtesy of EMI Parlophone,
there'll also be live music from THE PICTURES (featuring ex-Kenickie
bassist Emmy-Kate Montrose) and others (to be confirmed).
We recommend arriving early though as it'll probably be a busy
night, and we hope to play a couple of songs live for the first time
especially for the occasion. You can now print a flyer for reduced
admission from http://ex-rental.com/fl061203.htm and we'll let you
know full details nearer the time...
* YET MORE DJ-ING
I'll be DJ-ing as one half of The Hot Bedfellows this Saturday
(22nd) at Warm Electro For Cold Ears. We're on before and between
the live bands SCHMOOF, FREEZEPOP and SHANTY, and they'll be
followed by DJ sets by legendary bootleg mixers FRENCHBLOKE & SONOF
and then DJ DOWNFALL. Full details on
http://thehotbedfellows.com/warmelectro.htm ...
Then I'll be returning to Upside Down (solo this time) on Friday
28th, for more classic disco action and suchlike. See the flyer for
details at http://thehotbedfellows.com/upsidedownflyer.jpg ...
* SCARY NIGHTCLUB PEOPLE
Finally, you can now hear a tongue-in-cheek mock-'electroca$h' track
recorded last year, on a new US CD, "Electroclash Vol. 2" (Mogul
Electro Records). It's possibly the most preposterous thing we've
ever done and you'll be forgiven for wondering whether former member
Lucy and I were on some very strange drugs when we recorded it!
But if you *really* want to hear it, the song is called "Nightclub
People [pas sérieux]" and the CD is available from
http://electroclash.com/release_ec2002.php ... you have been
warned!
Also, you can now buy the Ex-Rental vs Carol Masters remix upon
which "Nightclub People" is based ("Love And Dancing [Nightclub
People] (electroca$h disco mix)"), on Carol Masters' new double
CD "Re:Mastered", available from http://www.souvenirrecords.com with
other remixes by Life Without Buildings, Soviet, Goteki and Mesh, to
name but a few.
And if you want to hear a *really* weird avant-garde deconstruction
of this track, you can now download "Nightclub People (kill the
floor mix)"... but we accept no responsibility for any nightmares it
gives you or your loved ones. If you're feeling brave, login at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ex-RentalNews/files/MP3/ to download
it...
(If you do hear any of these versions, don't worry - we're very much
back to normal now... honest!)
Anyway, that's quite enough Nightclub nonsense for now - hope to see
you at one of the events above!
