BARR: (from vice mag)
BARR is this kid Brendan Fowler from Baltimore via New York, but he lives in Los Angeles, which is where he belongs. Not because LA is full of bronzed robots who won’t hug you unless you make at least
$300K a minute, but because LA is always sunny and so is BARR. He is kind of, sort of, a rapper, but more of a motivational speaker for lapsed indie and punk kids, like if Paul Barman played with Bedroom Productions. He’s in a band called New England Roses with JD from Le Tigre and their other friend Sarah Shapiro, but Brendan’s full-time job is being BARR. And BARR is a full-time ambassador from the People’s Republic of Warm Huggy Vibes.

THIS SONG IS A MESS BUT SO AM I:
Using crashing synthesizers, drum machines in a state of disarray, blasts of white noise, and morose lyrics, the one man project of This Song Is A Mess But So Am I paints a vulgar picture of life. Twenty year old Freddy Ruppert has been playing out as This Song Is A Mess But So Am I since May of 2003, and this January saw the release of a split 7″ with Xiu Xiu. Mixing the electronic music styles of noise, electro, and IDM with the urgency of punk, he creates a very bizarre brand of anxiety filled synthpop. His songs are very personal, honest and bring a heavy emotional weight to electronic music. His live shows are known for being filled with the bursting energy of a nervous breakdown.

MEN WHO CAN’T LOVE
Men Who Can’t Love are an ever revolving cast of Los Angeles noise musicicans. There is no center core, anyone is free to leave the group or anyone is free to join it. The sets are filled with chaos and pure violence, as each member throws down a set of some of the most exciting harsh noise to have cropped up recently. Using pedals, circuit bent instruments, and even a modified acoustic guitar, the set is certain to be one of the most dangerous 10 minutes of your life.
The year is 1966, the place, Oakland, California. The Blacks living in the ghettos are tired of being harrased by the police. They react by forming a group called The Black Panther Party of Self-Defense. The Panthers introduced a number of social programmes to the ghettos, propogated for electoral participation and in-structed in law and civil rights, so that blacks could help each other during illegal arrests. Panther ventilates the question of whether change should be fought for from within, or outside of, the system. It also deals with the theory that the drug culture has been planted in the black society to make people easier to contain. It is a drama-documentary, a military spectacle about young blacks who for the first time in their livesand in American historyfind themselves armed to the teeth. 1995, 124 min.
