LOUDER THAN WAR just blogged this, WIKILEAKS tweeted this, many people share it to support Wikileaks!

LOUDER THAN WAR:”

Atari Teenage Riot , Anonymous and WIKILEAKS have done EDIT 3 for BLACK FLAGS.

The song is the toughest piece of industrial grind and lays down the band’s anti corporate manifesto.

This is a great use of video as the key statement with the song being the soundtrack to video reportage that presents another side of the news in these tumultous times. It’s typical forward thinking buy the band.

The band have spent the last two decades commentating on the new world order whilst creating some of the toughest and most exciting music around. This single is a perfect collision between hip hop, industrial and punk rock”

So, after four months of virtually non-stop global touring, this decade’s surprise reunion success story wrapped up at the weekend as the all-new Atari Teenage Riot closed 2011 with one final gig and festive party at Hamburg’s Gruenspan.

Now bizarrely, the idea of ATR throwing a Christmas party was met with about the same level of criticism among online fandom as if Alec’s suggestion had been; „So the plan is to charge 80 bucks a ticket, play only two songs really badly and then go and push some orphan children into traffic.“ Clearly for some it’s impossible to have an opinion and celebrate Christmas and while many may have a glamourous idea in their heads that ATR spend the holidays smashing up toy stores and making kids cry, I suspect they do as we all do; lie around on the couch in pajamas watching dreadful TV and chain-eat chocolate.

Anyway, I thought it was a great idea and so I jumped at the chance to tag along and man the merch table for a couple of days.

I like doing merch primarily because you are in the position to be able to see and talk to virtually everyone who comes to the gig and watching the never-ending stream of motley characters arrive for the show is entertainment enough in itself before ATR even play a note.

It’s really fascinating what a diverse crowd the new ATR manages to draw. Sure, there are the hardcore fans who were scrawny teens jumping around and kicking fuck out of each other way back in 95 but you’ll also see cute goth chicks, anaemic boys with indie hair, guys in slick suits and even the occasional bearded hump-back mutant thrown in for good measure.

The festive bonanza started in Copenhagen where just about every ATR fan in Denmark was present. The show was great but this was probably the coldest club on the earth and my genitals had all but vanished before the promoter took pity on me and issued me with a chunky Scandinavian security jacket which was heavier than me to keep me warm (*Note: next time, steal the jacket).

It was in Copenhagen that one of fans asked the question which is rapdily passing into tour legend: “Are you always a Travelling Merchant?“ For a moment I had visions of myself wandering the deserts of the Middle East selling exotic fabrics and curious incense rather than just some freezing loser with a bunch of T-Shirts.

After Copenhagen we piled into the bus and set sail (Ahoy!) for Hamburg with CX educating me about the advantages of having a home popcorn maker (I guess he’ll be using the good ol’ Whirley-Pop to cook up Christmas lunch). After a couple of abortive attempts at listening to a podcast – the best we could do was some guy who sounded about as interesting as a fridge analysing the social effects of the i-Pod shuffle function – we settled for a disco playlist.

Before I go any further, fuck off with your snorting and sneering at disco, right? It’s probably been the most consistently excellent genre of music ever created and has been more influential to both mainstream and alternative forms of music since the 70s and any song that can make a lyric out of “Halston, Gucci, Fiorucci“ should get some sort of honour from the United Nations. Probably. And anyway we were on the way to a Christmas party. What were we supposed to do? Listen to Norwegian Death Metal and kick each other in the face?

Hamburg’s Gruenspan, a stone’s throw from the famous Reeperbahn and right next door to legendary club The Indra, is a fantastic venue. Apparently the first disco in Germany, it has a huge concert hall complete with roman pillars, upper gallery and a massive Buddha set into an alcove above the stage. It’s large and glamourous but with shabby, faded edges which dreary interior designers would no doubt helpfully label “character.“

Doors were at 10pm and no sooner did they open than a healthy supply of clubbers started to pile in. These were largely semi-drunken, rowdy party types who caused a rush at the merch table and so I thought to myself, “Yes, this is going to be good.“

But contrary to expectations it all fell a bit flat thanks to some rather silly internal office politics at the venue which I still don’t quite get to this day. Before I knew where I was, I heard Nic announce the start of the show without my ever having heard a note of the support show, Rowdy Superstar, who’d been flown in from London.

“Oh well,“ I thought, “I mustn’t have been listening properly.“

ATR were firing on all cylinders for their last gig of the year and the crowd in the sold-out venue were jumping around and generally making nuisances of themselves for the duration. They clicked into the rebellious nature of the music and at one point a spontaneous chant of “All Hamburg hates the police“ thundered through the Gruenspan which did rather make me wonder who on earth they’re going to call when crack addicts burgle their houses and steal all the Christmas presents.

So ATR finished, three quarters of the “party“ people promptly disappeared and THEN the support played for about 50 people. Yeah, yeah, don’t ask…only God knows why the main act warm up the crowd for the support. I’ll understand Steven Hawking’s Expanding Universe Theory before I figure that one out.

So that was that; a great show for a packed house, an unfortunate support band who play to a handful of people and a Christmas party that didn’t happen. The sense of despair and dejection I felt after packing up was quite handily visually summed up for me by the sight of some lonely, lumpen girl who look like she’d just wandered in from the Blair Witch Project stood in the corner next to the stage sadly picking her nose.

On the basis of the available evidence I can only surmise that Hamburgers are great at concerts and utterly rubbish at parties.

Perhaps we should’ve kicked kids in front of cars after all…

Nic Endo fans and friends!!

Many of you asked me to post the information here as well…so I will! Yes, you can also get the Nic Endo Freak fragrance in case you didn’t win the competition!!! We have come up with a way , so you get 10% off on all products if you go to www.illamasqua.com , enter the promo code NICENDO10 at the checkout page !

I have collaborated with Illamasqua for the Freak campaign (I use Illamasqua make up for my face paint since years, so it made perfect sense to work together).

click here to watch if player doesn’t watch

Check out what Illamasqua is about – Everybody knows that all girls in ATR wore make up since the beginning. We disagree with a lot of images the fashion industry creates to ‘shape’ women/girls so they fit into society and go conform…that’s why it is so amazing that Illamasqua who is run by Alex Box (she is a genius in my opinion) is working on changing that.

Illamasqua is all about self expression, and if you check out the photographs of previous campaigns, or ever witnessed how much they stand apart from all the rest, then you probably understand why I love their approach so much.

Remember: Don’t just get it because I use it, think about what YOU want – that’s what it’s all about!

See you at the shows!

Nic Endo

“Like music, parfum is invisible and reaches us very deeply. It is powerful.

it triggers memories that we thought were lost forever, or it produces phantasies, ideas, creativity that we didn’t know we had.

When Illamasqua asked me to participate in the project, I immediately felt excited about it. A few hours later I was taking a flight from Tokyo to Berlin and walked quickly through the crowded duty free area at the airport. Famous brand names were screaming at me aggressively, parfum packaged and presented next to chocolate bars and whiskey bottles. I was a bit jetlagged but still awake from last night’s amazing concert. This was not a ‘job’, this was an adventure that I would remember for the rest of my life.

I noticed a family on vacation shopping, both parents were carrying plastic bags, filled with boring stuff, their son was wearing headphones playing some video game on his handheld device, didn’t seem to care about anything… and their daughter was standing a bit apart, distanced, she looked almost a bit embarassed to be there. I remembered going through this phase at that age. This is when you decide where you want to be later in life. This is when you want to get away and discover the world and your potential.

Suddenly I caught her looking at me, curious, smiling then quickly looking the other way because I noticed ….it was only a short moment, not even seconds. But I thought, wouldn’t the concept of Illamasqua’s ‘Freak’ exactly appeal to her?

Isn’t it all about who we want to be in the future? And what we do about becoming that person? Expressing ourselves is always the next step towards it.

And as an artist I know that I have the desire to always evolve further. To transform.

Many people put parfums on to ‘fit in’. Sometimes that can make sense, but isn’t it about getting noticed, isn’t it about standing out from the rest?

Aren’t those who use the term ‘freak’ in a negative way, when they point fingers at exceptional people, exactly those kinds who are just jealous of the attention the ‘freak’ draws? Don’t they find themselves copying the style of the ‘freak’ shortly after? We see it in fashion, music, science, art and make-up all the time.

I can put on any types of clothes, but the right parfum for the occasion is what stays with me, what I can sense even in the dark.  It’s so close.

I was getting ready to perform at the show the night before, the finishing touch was the parfum. My stage clothes, my make up, everything was perfect, but putting on parfum is always like when a painter signs his latest piece.

It was only minutes to show time and I could hear thousands of fans shouting my name. How I feel in that moment when I perform is what makes my performance special.

I might have sung the songs many times before, but the magic happens when I connect with the audience in that moment in time.

When I boarded the flight I thought about how Illamasqua’s “Freak” would inspire me. Their make-up did so many times before. I suddenly felt curious to find out. When I arrived in Berlin, I agreed to it.

A few weeks later I flew into London for the photoshoot, which was a really exciting experience. Many designers do a lot of work digitally, but what you see in the picture was really there on the set. I have never modelled before and as an artist I usually control my own image very carefully; the videos, the stage appearance, the photos for artwork and the media… but with Alex Box and Illamasqua I just felt it was the right thing to let go and follow their vision. I absolutely fell in love with the result!

As the star of Illamasqua’s Freak campaign, and to celebrate our competition last week to win a full size 75ml bottle of their debut fragrance, we are offering a 10% discount across the Illamasqua range* to indulge your alter ego and invite you to step into the intoxicating world of Freak.

Atari Teenage Riot wants YOU to be in their video for “Black Flags”

Atari Teenage Riot is pleased to release their latest video “Blood In My Eyes.” The song and it’s provocative video offer a stark look at the issue of human trafficking. Watch the video HERE (feel free to post and share). The band’s latest single is drawn from the band’s new album Is This Hyperreal? out now via Dim Mak. Produced, mixed, recorded by Alec Empire, Nic Endo and new ATR member CX Kidtronik (Saul Williams / Nine Inch Nails), Is This Hyperreal? was recorded at the Hellish Vortex Studio in Berlin. The band will also be touring Europe over the next few months.

In addition to the band’s “Blood In My Eyes” video, Atari Teenage Riot is also asking their fans to participate in the video for the band’s upcoming single “Black Flags”, which will be released on September 6th 2011.They are calling their fans and others who support song’s ideals to make a video statement in front of a black flag, or any black surface to be included in the band’s final video.“Black Flags.” Fans are also invited to incorporate “Corpsing” into their video. Drawn from an idea the band had while “planking” at a Southern European airport, “Corpsing” is the act of laying down in a public location, covered in a black flag to represent those that have died as result of corporate greed. The band invites anyone to film themselves lip-synching to the “Black Flags” lyrics in front of a black flag or corpsing and send in their video to be included in the “Black Flags” video. All entries should be submitted to blackflags@atari-teenage-riot.net. Read the band’s full concept for the video below:

“ In the past decade we have witnessed how dangerous corruption can be for ordinary citizens, from Fukushima to the financial crisis, we could even include the current phone hacking scandals in the UK in this. The list goes on. Almost weekly more shocking news is being published. Corporate greed has too often put the lives of people in danger.

Historically, the Black Flag stood for not belonging to a certain Nation State (due to the fact that no national colors were used on it). For the us, it means also that no individual can look at him/herself as superior to others just because of his/her national identity.

The mainstream media often looks at “consumers” and labels them as “apathetic.” But as the protests around the world have indicated, there is more political activism than ever before. And not only that, we see the same activism and energy at our concerts.

Cynics always find many reasons for not doing anything and being miserable. Often they say that the world is too “complex” to get involved. We believe that even though the world is complex, there are some fundamentally powerful ideas. Respect for another human being, for example, is a fundamental idea that grants great power.

If you agree to the basic principles of equality and freedom, join us and make a statement!

The visuals of Atari Teenage Riot videos have always been very important. Directors like Philipp Virus, Andrea Giacobbe, John Hillcoat, and Zan Lyons have done an excellent job in working together with the band and getting the message across to a wide audience. We want“Black Flags” to follow in those footsteps of our previous video, but with one key difference: Atari Teenage Riot wants you to be in it!

If you want to be in the video and show that you support the ideals mentioned above, please send us the following footage:

· Take your mobile phone, webcam or any other camera and film yourself lip-synching the song http://soundcloud.com/alec_empire/atari-teenage-riot-black-flags

· Have a black flag in the background, or hold it while you’re lip-syncing. (The black flag motif will link all images together. If you don’t have one to hand, use a black T-shirt, pull it inside out, stick the arms into it…there you go.)

· You can choose any location for it. If you want to do it at home, great. If you know a crazy location, do it there. (In front of your school or university? At a shopping mall? With your friends at a party?)

· We will use fragments of all videos, which are sent in and ultimately add all of you to the official video.

· If you want to support the idea but want to do so anonymously, you can cover your face. No problem.

If you want to go a step further, Atari Teenage Riot want to introduce you to“Corpsing” — the silent protest for all people who have died as a result of corporate greed.

Planking has been probably the most fun trend since break dancing. When ATR waited at an airport in Southern Europe, we did quite a lot of planks in the silliest locations, until some airport authorities tried to stop us. From that, the idea of “corpsing” developed through public appearances of Anonymous and from the acts of political activists in China.

In Berlin, Alec lay down on his back, like a corpse, and put a black flag over his head/face. Apart from it being a very strong image, many people stopped and did what they are supposed to: Ask a question! To our surprise people from all kinds of backgrounds immediately understood and supported what we were talking about.

The release date of “Black Flags” is only days away from 9/11. When we realized that it has been ten years, and when we looked at how many have used deaths of real people for their own political and economic greed since then, the original idea of the song made so much more sense again.

If you agree, film yourself in public places, even on the dance floor, wherever you can raise awareness and send it to us! We will include you in the video.

Please always send in a video link to this email : blackflags@atari-teenage-riot.net (don’t attach the files directly please.)”

FAQs:

1) Is there a deadline?

there is not. However, the sooner you send in your video, the more people are likely to see YOU! We will keep adding more people even after the song has been released as a single.

2) Can I wear a mask?

Yes , you can. Some of you contacted us and said that they can’t reveal their identity in the video for various reasons (parents, boss, community etc.). We understand! You can wear a mask. Please do the take in front of a black flag or hold it (create a black flags easily: take a black t-shirt, stick arms to the inside).

3) I have a band. Can I wear my bands t-shirt in the video?

Yes, you can. We WANT artists and other bands to join us!

LYRICS:

Atari Teenage Riot
Anonymous Teenage Riot

Are you ready to testify ?
Are you ready to testify?
Black Flags
Are you ready to testify?
You got 2 seconds
Are you ready to testify!!! Come on!

There’s a unified axis of government
And corporate power
Lawless and unrestrained
That’s what we should talk about
Corporations exploit the power of the state
To further enhance their power
And the real criminals get away

Are you ready to testify ?
Are you ready to testify?
Black Flags
Are you ready to testify?
You got 2 seconds
Are you ready to testify!!! Come on!

Try to threat the system
You’ll have the full weight of law
Come crashing down upon you
So you don’t resist
Surveillance, goons
Force us to be silent
They kill the careers of journalists
So noone can resist

my flow, it sputters like they shut off my water
i got the sheriff after me for what i said bout obama
my flag is red like a period
comma
i’m a piranha
just like every one of y’all
let’s take that shark to the slaughter
and here we gotta beat bouncin’ more than last months rent check
the boss walkin’ walll street with a pimp step
people of whoville!
we need to slit the grinch’s neck
we low paid prostitutes with no fishnets
ash-sha`b yurid isqat an-nizam
tell homeland security we are the bomb
inform the houseguests the mob’s on the lawn
and it aint no suare
il ne c’est pas bon
they call this black flags
but i’m not an anarchist
i’m on some sickle/hammer shit
collective bruce banner shit
over a piano pitch
cock and let the hammer hit
we’re here collecting damages
and handing knuckle sandwiches

There’s a class war going on
And it’s the rich who are waging it!
They try to destroy anyone who is a threat to their power
Playing for keeps – they want it all!

Do you want it all?

Are you ready to testify ?
Are you ready to testify?
Black Flags
Are you ready to testify?
You got 2 seconds
Are you ready to testify!!! Come on!

extra part on album version:

What they call „law“ is used to restrain us ordinary citizens who are opposed to this
Your cyberattacks are „crimes“ if the government dislikes you
But are perfectly ok if they unleash them
They pursue a whistleblower while criminal politicians get away

Quietus Mix 31: Alec Empire’s Empirical Evidence by The Quietus on Mixcloud

The Quietus :”That the world is a better place with Alec Empire in it is an indisputable truth. That Alec Empire has done us a mix AND taken the time to talk us through his choices, is an indisputable proud moment in the history of this Quietus Mix Series. These are the fizzing elements, deep foundations, bracing braces and sonic weapons that in their own ways, have conspired and combined to make up Atari Teenage Riot’s new album, Is This Hyperreal?

When it comes to disseminating righteous music to the world, you can rely on a man like Alec Empire to go above and beyond the call of duty. The Atari Teenage Riot man has compiled us not only a fantastic mix of the music that has inspired him and the group over the years, but provided a narration of why the songs are so important. There are some fascinating stories too – imagine a festival bill with The Locust, ATR, Suicide and Metalux, who are included here… well, it happened. And I for one did not know that there exists a 7″ with The Fall on one side and ATR on the other – listen as Alec tells us what an honour it was to play with The Monks. There’s also fascinating insight on the impact of techno, Sonic Youth, why ATR love The Raveonettes, plus a brand new track from Nic Endo and a rough, never-released mix of ‘Battle’, his track with Patrick Wolf. Remember Atari Teenage Riot’s Is This Hyperreal? is a) their best work and b) out later this month.”

Atari Teenage Riot release their new single, ‘Blood In My Eyes’, through Digital Hardcore Recordings as a teaser for the band’s forthcoming album, ‘Is This Hyperreal?’.

‘Blood In My Eyes’ features Nic Endo on lead vocal. She speaks out for the multitude of women who have become the victims of human trafficking, their sexuality exploited for financial gain right under the gaze of the ineffectual governments of the self-proclaimed civilised west. Nic, wholly in tune with her trademark Japanese face-paint depicting “Resistance,” makes her point in the inimitable Atari way.

Atari Teenage Riot – “Blood In My Eyes” by Atari Teenage Riot

‘Blood In My Eyes’ is a riveting electronic punk rock diatribe, paying homage to the feminine retributive subtexts espoused by cult films like ‘Kill Bill’

and heavily censored French art-house offering, ‘Baise-Moi.’

Nic expounds a cautionary tale, alerting us that all who stand by and do nothing share the guilt.

With its straight-forward throbbing 909 drum machine patterns, massive guitar riffs, ear-splitting adrenaline rushes of noise and powerful female vocals, ‘Blood In My Eyes’ charges down an unswerving path determined to confront the future head on.

www.atari-teenage-riot.com

“Blood In My Eyes” Background:

Human trafficking is a lucrative industry. It is now the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. Globally, it is tied with the illegal arms trade, as the second largest criminal activity, following the drug trade.  Human trafficking usually affects women and children. 

The International Labour Organisation estimates that at least 2.4 million people are trafficked for the purpose of forced labour around the world, nearly half, or 43 per cent, specifically for sexual exploitation, 32 per cent for labour exploitation and 25 per cent for a mixture of both. Half the victims of trafficking are under 18.

Profits generated from the world’s 1.1m persons trafficked into forced labour are estimated by the ILO at US$3.8bn. The profits are by far the highest in industrialised countries (US$2.2bn altogether). In the other regions, profits vary between US$40m in Sub-Saharan Africa and US$776m in Latin America.

The Council of Europe states: “People trafficking has reached epidemic proportions over the past decade, with a global annual market of about $42.5 billion.”

Some might argue about the exact numbers of the statistics, but nobody can deny that this is one of the major problems of our time.

Human trafficking is an issue most musicians would rather leave untouched. In popular music it’s considered cool to present yourself with the accoutrements of modern life like expensive cars, bling, champagne etc. Basically everything that makes people feel envy and adulation towards the artists who try to portray an image of being ‘successful’, while the music industry is close to collapse – but that’s another song on to be addressed on ATR’s new album.

The invisible message is:  “Don’t think – Consume!”

We find this more and more sickening while the facts about human trafficking are out there. Of course it is a complex issue and ATR is far from preaching conservative morals.

Exclusive lyric sheet (Thanks Nic!)

On the official website of the group, Nic Endo wrote directly to the German ATR fans!

ATR played big stages at major festivals last year, from Reading to Summersonic, their surprise show at Germany’s Fusion Festival outside of Berlin in front of 20,000 people caused a mass stage invasion.
They are announcing more headline slots for this summer:  from Melt! Festival to Fuji Rock in Japan, probably their biggest show to date.

What always worked to the group’s advantage was the fact that they can easily bring a medium size rock club to boil over, while they can also make the crowds move in a dance / electronic environment (ATR originated in the traditional rave underground scene).
But their real strength is the rock arena:  Put them in front of Rage Against The Machine; they deliver a show that people still talk about 10 years later.
Put them in front of Placebo at biggest European festival, Exit, in 2010 and they deliver a sensational show no other electronic band can pull off right now.

How is that possible? ??The ATR formula just works. It is exciting, it is meaningful and the group looks so painfully commercial, they often have to hide their charismatic stage personas behind intense strobe-lights. ?What always set ATR apart from the rest was that they have proper songs and that their overpowering physical live performance is still unmatched.

“Atari Teenage Riot’s decision to reform this year could not have arrived at a more opportune time, with a rise in conservatism occurring not only in the UK and Germany, but all throughout Europe. In this climate we need bands like ATR reminding us that it’s necessary to lash out against the system. This is no mere nostalgia trip for them, this is a return to arms.” http://dimmakrecs.com/2011/02/atari-teenage-riot-live-review-in-rock-a-rolla-magazine/

LOSTATEMINOR HAS ALEC EMPIRE’S SECRET PLAYLIST UP!

“Atari Teenage Riot have reunited, playing enormous sold-out venues in Europe. Heading to North America, they recently signed onto Dim Mak, bringing along ATR newcomer (and Kanye West/Nine Inch Nails collaborator) CX Kidtronik.

Atari Teenage Riot is known for their intense live show, and it’s been reinvigorated by the reunion.This is co-founder Alec Empire’s selection of his eight favourite songs, in his own words.”

They are a natural fit with Dim Mak, as label-head Steve Aoki is known for his hard electro sound & has roots in the hardcore scene.”

On July 24th Atari Teenage Riot suddenly took over the mainstage at FUSION FESTIVAL near Berlin, Germany.

The crowd smashed the barriers and invaded the stage during the song “Revolution Action”.

Director Zan Lyons was able to capture what was happening on camera.

Alec Empire:” It was surreal! Totally amazing crowd! Nothing got broke, nobody got hurt! Fusion Festival is a great event. There is no corporate sponsorship, it is politically charged as well. The alternative is possible, we just have to make it become real! We make music so people participate and join in…we don’t want people to just consume that stuff in a passive way… so of course for us playing Fusion in 2010 was mindblowing!”

Atari Teenage Riot

• Exclusive London reunion show announced for May
• New single “Activate“ confirmed

Atari Teenage Riot – “Activate!” by Alec Empire

In the late 90s Atari Teenage Riot (ATR) emerged out of the electronica genre, to subvert all rules of rock and techno music. The original conception was Alec Empire‘s and when joined by Hanin Elias, Nic Endo and Carl Crack on stage, the mixed race, mixed sex image of the band provoked people before they even heard the music.

The seminal band was too radical in its views and statements and simply too loud and noisy to fit in neatly inside any genre, with Hanin screaming about police violence and revolution, ATR opened many doors for female artists to follow at the time.
In 1996, Alec Empire teamed up with the Beastie Boys to negotiate a label deal between Grand Royal and Digital Hardcore Recordings for North America. The album, “Burn Berlin Burn” was born.

Shortly after, tours with Rage Against The Machine, Wu-Tang Clan and Beck swiftly followed. But with the success came tension. Every musician has their own way of dealing with it, and ATR were extremely intense. Very soon the thin line between reality and paranoia started to vanish.
When John Peel asked ATR to play Queen Elizabeth Hall in London in 1999, the band had just released their 3rd and best album, “60 Second Wipe Out“, which was mixed with Andy Wallace (Nirvana’s “Nevermind”, Slayer). During the song “Revolution Action“, kids stormed the stage and pandemonium descended on the capital.
When the Berlin quartet played their last show at the Big Day Out Festival, Australia in 2000 everyone was watching: The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, The Clash’s Joe Strummer, Foo Fighters and Primal Scream on the side of the stage. The band finally dissolved in the wake of MC Carl Crack’s death just days before September 11th 2001.
Their records stand as a testament to the years 1992-2000, where anything seemed possible. Now Atari Teenage Riot have reunited for one more show:

May 12th 2010

The Electric Ballroom, London

184 Camden High Street, London, NW1 8QP

7pm / £16 / 14+

For tickets www.gigantic.com

The members of Atari Teenage Riot are pleased to announce that the American MC CX KIDTRONIK has officially joined the band and will be completing their line up when they hit the UK later this year. Having previously worked with Saul Williams, Kanye West and Nine Inch Nails, CX KIDTRONIK is an unstoppable and explosive MC as politically minded as the rest of ATR that bring his own element to the band.

Additionally, a brand new single “Activate” has been confirmed for May 17^th and will be released through the band’s own label Digital Hardcore Recordings.  Atari Teenage Riot are also treating fans to a free remix by the LA based dubstep genius The Builder: http://soundcloud.com/alec_empire/atari-teenage-riot-digital-hardcore-2009-remix-by-the-builder

Nic Endo’s “I didn’t exist” was taken from her album “Cold Metal Perfection”, released in 2001 on London’s GEIST Records. The track was an homage to legendary independent film “Carnival of Souls” from 1962. Nic Endo often mentioned the film as an influence in her interviews, because she could identify with the lead character and her ‘alienation of society’. In 2009 a fan felt inspired to edit a music video from the original footage of the film to her music.

Nic is about to release her 3rd album over the coming months.

Sonic terrorist, Alec Empire, returns for another blistering series of live dates here in the UK that looks set to blow the roof off every venue it invades across the country.

?1000 Eyes? is the new download only single taken off the animated short film, ?The Golden Foretaste of Heaven?. After the critical acclaim of his mini album, ?Shivers?, earlier this year, Alec channelled his dark energy into creating a brooding, mesmerising soundtrack to the hotly tipped film by Austrian rising star, Richard Wilhelmer.

Fresh off supporting Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails on their European leg of the tour, Alec will bring his awesome live setup to the UK showcasing material from a career spanning almost two decades. Always a knack for spotting new talent, Alec has collaborated with Robbie Furze from The Big Pink on the track, ?If You Live or Die? off his last album and has produced and written Patrick Wolf?s lead single, ?Vultures?.

Wolf also appeared on stage with Empire during his sold out London date at The Underworld earlier this year and looks certain to join up with his partner in crime for the Islington Academy show in London on November 19.

Having recently remixed IAMX, ex Sneaker Pimp, Chris Corner?s new single ?Terrified?, the hardest working Berliner in music?s next project is a team up with Major Lazer and Saul Williams for some new tracks and a remix special with Dillinger Escape Plan later this year.

As a special treat for UK fans, Alec has roped in up & coming alt techno-core outfit, Motor, who are currently on tour with D?p?che Mode as support for his UK dates.

Alec has once again reinvented himself and you can witness the Empire effect first hand this autumn as Nic Endo and him take to a stage near you.

Patrick Wolf shot this one in New York just a couple of weeks ago. Very much influenced by cult movie Liquid Sky.

Liquid Sky Trailer click here to watch

This film has probably influenced more music for the past decade than any other film. From DJ Hell to Nic Endo. Samples turned up on many dance tracks. You can tell if someone doesn’t know this film, has not studied it…it separates the wolves from the sheep.

if flash player doesn’t show click here to watch

It’s great that Patrick just doesn’t go retro with his style (like most the others who wave the Liquid Sky flag), he reinvents it, creates completely new music… well done.

2009 is the year to bring back lyrics about issues like “revolution”. (while payments for corporate managers keep rising and musicians and workers lose their jobs)

support mp3 blogs like Big Stereo instead of Pirate Bay.
