[Radio Shock News] new RADIO SHOCK album "Rage158" (get it free) +more!

MP Lockwood (radioshock) — 2008-10-06T16:00:09Z

Lots of stuff for you to check out in this news release. First, there is a new RADIO SHOCK release, a limited edition CDR called "Rage158" which has been available at recent live shows. It's a little "darker" and "tougher" but I think everyone will dig it. 30 minutes and 8 tracks, including "Sick City Water" which I've been playing live for a while.

*** GET IT FREE

That's right, I will give the album to anyone in MP3 format, no charge. All you have to do is EMAIL and ask. (MP~at-RADIOSHOCK-d0t~ORG) Just put "Rage158" in the subject and you will receive a reply with a download link. That's it!

*** BUY IT

You can also get a physical copy, which is a noise-style hand-made CDR in an edition of 150. About 50 are already gone so you might want to get on it. Right now, all Radio Shock (and Roger Records) sales are through the new NO-CORE DISTRO STORE (http://nocore.bigcartel.com). There are a few other awesome and otherwise unavailable items available there as well from Unicorn Hard-On, Mincemeat or Tenspeed, Narwhalz, and Taiwan Deth. For out-of-print RADIO SHOCK stuff, I highly recommend CARBON RECORDS (http://www.carbonrecords.com/mailorder) who are even having a fall discount sale right now!

*** LISTEN

You can hear the entire Rage158 album either at LAST.FM (http://www.last.fm/music/Radio+Shock/Rage158) or at IMEEM.COM (http://www.imeem.com/radioshock/playlist/CRRrbA5A/radio_shock_rage158_music_playlist/) although you have to sign in for IMEEM.

*** LOOK

Photos from recent touring with HYLAND HOLOGRAM and DRUMS LIKE MACHINE GUNS can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nocore/sets/72157607799653329/ No photos of RADIO SHOCK, but many photos of the people I played with and the scene down at FREEDUMB FEST.

*** UPCOMING EVENTS

If you live in NYC, put this in your calendar. October 24 will be the massive FREENOISE FEST, to be held at DEATH BY AUDIO in Brooklyn. This will be an INC-style event, with a whole ton of crazy bands playing back-to-back 15-minute sets. RADIO SHOCK is playing, and this also features the notorious and legendary noise band COCK ESP, who have not played NYC in years. WHITE MICE also, and lots more.

Thanks!

P.S. - THE FUTURE OF DIGITAL MUSIC

I'm supporting imeem.com and last.fm because they have decided to offer royalties based on ad revenue to ALL artists with music on those sites. (Especially last.fm, whose service is simple and free) UNLIKE MySpace, which just launched a new music program which pays royalties only to a few major labels with whom MySpace has signed deals. Here's a story about it: http://blog.wired.com/music/2008/04/myspace-music-w.html I'd encourage all other musicians to start pointing people to last.fm instead of MySpace to hear your music.

[Radio Shock News] Day 2 and half of day 3

MP Lockwood (radioshock) — 2008-09-09T09:06:48Z

Pittsburgh is a basement show in a really small basement in a cool crooked house. At most half the people at the show can fit in the basement, so lots of people just hang out and listen from outside. Our host Anthony cooks up some kind of grains & spices stuff and corn on the cob for dinner which was awesome.

Local dudes played first, a trio doing noise/bass/drums jams and a guy named Trogpite who danced around holding incense and made some sounds that go “EEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH.” Then I got to see HYLAND HOLOGRAM play for the first time. They’re my new favorite band, for real. Amazing freakout drums and noise jams.

RADIO SHOCK goes well, kept it real short because it was getting late. Then DRUMS LIKE MACHINE GUNS debut their new wireless microphone style. Brian walks into the backyard with the mike on and starts asking if they found out who farted. They act like they don’t know what he’s talking about but we all totally heard that conversation going on.

Pretty good night’s sleep on mats on the floor. In the morning we all do crunches and pushups, except Richie who’s sleeping under a tree all morning. We watch a huge backhoe tearing down a house over the fence. Then we all take a trip to the Whole Foods for groceries, where Lance demonstrates his just-walk-around-while-eating-the-food technique. I pick up some coffee beans from the Starbucks across the way and back to Anthony’s house for coffee and sandwiches.

I head out to nearby coffee shop for internet access and to make xeroxes of CD inserts. While there I get a call from Lance. He called some people in Lexington to see if we could crash there since this is our day off, and they told him we could play at their house TONIGHT. So I grab directions from the internet, send a few messages, and it’s time to get out of town. Pile back in the van and we’re on the road right now. It looks like we may get to Lexington too late for anyone loud to actually play, so we’ll see what happens. Maybe just a RADIO SHOCK show since I play quieter… but we’re on our way regardless.

While riding in the van, Lance invented 2 new forms of expression. Free-sketchbook drawing in which you need not draw in the book, but you’re still sketching in the book… it’s hard to explain. Also, drawing inside the lines of the book, outside the book. I don’t know what it all means, but he insisted that it should be included in the blog. Davey also invented a new form of expression, but he says the blogosphere is not prepared for it.

[Radio Shock News] RADIO SHOCK : Last sec Lexington show and Freudian Slips

MP Lockwood (radioshock) — 2008-09-08T11:35:56Z

First of all, I incorrectly typed the name of one of the touring bands in the last email message. HYLAND HOLOGRAM, who I just saw play for the first time and are my new favorite band. Seriously. Those who noticed the error may have thought it was a Freudian Slip, but it's not true. I mistakenly used the name of an earlier proto-project which has become HYLAND HOLOGRAM.

LAST MINUTE SHOW: Lexington, KY TONIGHT! Sept. 8th
473 E. Maxwell, house show. probably around 9:30 start.

TOUR BLOG in effect.

http://mplockwood.blogspot.com

I won't be bothering everyone with mailing list messages constantly, I promise, check the blog for details instead. Just wanted to do the correction and the last second show announcement. Thanks everyone!

Weekend shows in Pittsburgh area, Wilmington NC, and your place?? (help!)

MP Lockwood (radioshock) — 2008-05-20T14:48:37Z

This Memorial Day weekend, RADIO SHOCK will be traveling and playing with POINGLY (http://www.myspace.com/poingly), a friend who plays some kind of laptop/electroclash/plunderphonics music.

FRI. MAY 23rd 8:00PM
Riverview High School
100 Hulton Road
Oakmont, Pennsylvania 15139
(This is just outside Pittsburgh, and YES, it is at a HIGH SCHOOL. I have no idea what to expect, except that it should be totally inappropriate. Don't miss it if you are in the area.)

and

SAT. MAY 24th 8:00PM
WE FEST at the Soapbox
255 N. Front St
Wilmington, North Carolina 28401
(This is part of a huge annual indie rock fest. It should be moderately inappropriate. Also playing is the awesome dance-party band EAR PWR)

and

SUN. MAY 25th
Your House!

That's right, we will be traveling from Wilmington, NC back to New York City, and we would like to play anywhere in-between. 10 minute sets opening for an already packed show would be fine. House shows, afternoon BBQs, birthday parties or guerilla actions would be fine. Get in touch with offers or ideas please. Thanks!
