THE EAST COAST IS THE BEAST COAST

This Saturday Radio Shock will be playing the International Noise Conference in Miami, FL! I just played St. Petersburg FL Sunday evening, and I’ll be in Gainesville tonight (Tuesday)! A new tape will be available at the shows!

Several cool things in this Radio Shock news release!

**********
ALBUMS TO DOWNLOAD

Did you know that some Radio Shock albums represent seasons? It’s true. RAGE158 is the fall album and since we’re deep into the fall season, I offer unto you a free download via the Free Music Archive (Free Music Archive is basically the best music site on the internet, filled with quality curated music for free).

http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Radio_Shock/Rage158/

and because the next season is approaching, the Radio Shock holiday album (representing the winter season) “SnoWave” is now available – only at this time of year until January.

http://radioshock.bandcamp.com/album/snowave

It’s free too – just name your price as $0.00

The Spring album is in the works now.

**********
BRAND NEW COLLABORATION RECORDING

Also on the Free Music Archive is this awesome new collaboration I did with Jason Hodges of Mutwawa/Bermuda Triangles fame. Down in Richmond, VA at the Cheap Fest next-day brunch, this spontaneous and unplanned collaboration took place and sounded totally killer. One mega Lo-techno/Glitch House/No Rave jam. Grab it now!

http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jason_Hodges__MP_Lockwood/10-23-2011/

**********
T-SHIRTS

I made a small batch of these new “bleach-style” T-shirts. Right now I have some men’s medium and small, but I’ll be making more, so if you want another size, email mp AT radioshock D0T org, and make a request/inquiry. They’re $10 including shipping to the U.S. – OR TRADE (email to inquire)! See & order them at

http://radioshock.bigcartel.com/

**********
and one last note, I’ll be playing in some kind of bizarre collab performance this Friday Nov.25 at Big Snow, which is a newish venue in Brooklyn, on Varet between Humboldt and Graham. Should be totally weird & totally fun.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
M*P* Lockwood

RADIO SHOCK will be part of a really great show this Wednesday, October 12th at Death by Audio (49 S.2nd St, Brooklyn, NY 11211)

This upcoming Monday September 19th is an awesome show at The Cake-Shop (www.cake-shop.com)

RADIO SHOCK plays this Fri. June 10 in Fairfax, VA
download rare COCK ROBOT 7″ tracks and watch the WHEN ROBOTS ATTACK movie

******

I was invited to play a show this Friday June 10th at Candle Haus
4039 Hallman St, Fairfax VA

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Candle-Haus/106223792792291

Start time probably about 9, also playing is Scrap Heap, and I’m not certain who else! I do not know when RADIO SHOCK goes on. Many mysteries, come discover the answers with me…

******

In related news, another release from the pre-Radio Shock project COCK ROBOT has been made available. This band was formed by myself (MP Lockwood), current professor of metaphortean studies Carl Diehl, and the enigmatic Toaster while in Syracuse, NY, and became early pioneers of No-Core style.

These 2 tracks are from a split 7″ with the band Katzenmallets (ex-Xerobot) and was Cock Robot’s last official release. Listen here and download for free by entering ZERO when asked to name your price. Or you can pay money if you wish.

http://cockrobot.bandcamp.com/album/split-7

Also unearthed: the long lost Cock Robot PR vehicle disguised as shockumentary:
WHEN ROBOTS ATTACK

http://vimeo.com/23247510

This 47 minute film includes interviews with Cock Robot, as well as plenty of found and manipulated footage, music from several affiliated acts, and dramatic re-enactments of robotic holocaust starring members of Cock Robot as well as at least two other notorious underground music personalities. A chilling look into the state of Syracuse avant garde circa 2000.

Live on web radio WED night, upcoming Bkln show Mar.21, new release, website, etc

“RADIO” APPEARANCE

Tomorrow evening, Wednesday March 9th from 9:00-10:00PM, RADIO SHOCK will be the guest on Poingly’s End of Irony radio show on WHFR (Washington Heights Free Radio) – a community web radio station. You can listen live at www.whfr.org by clicking on the “ON AIR” link or seek out the archive of the show shortly after it airs. I will be playing some songs, maybe improvising some stuff, maybe talking.

**********
UPCOMING SHOWS

Mark calendars. March 21st (Monday show!) at Silent Barn in Brooklyn RADIO SHOCK will be playing with KIKIILIMIKILII (from France) and ARID HUNTER (local deep space conjurers) and TBA.

In May I will be playing some shows with indigenous noise-ravers Mutwawa.

**********
NOW AVAILABLE

New RADIO SHOCK ep “duets” is a small collection of improvised tracks and live attempts that went awry and turned out sounding very different from the initial intention. It’s a limited edition of 50 physical copies in hand-decorated and assembled packaging. You can listen or order a copy here:

http://radioshock.bandcamp.com/album/duets

I have also made the previous releases at the same site available on a pay-what-you-choose basis. Please feel free to download them and pay nothing. Just enter $0.

MORE SOUNDZ

I am sharing practice space jams and in-progress tracks on the Soundcloud website.

http://www.soundcloud.com/radioshock

**********
THE FUTURE

My plan for the rest of 2011 is to put out 2 more releases. An album of new songs called “Romanse is the Death of Intellect” and a kind of greatest hits album with guest stars where many of the older favorite Radio Shock songs will finally get recorded properly and officially released. Probably some new ones too. For the very first time ever I am going to actively investigate the possibility of someone else putting out these releases, so please contact me with any suggestions or offers!

**********

RIDICULOUS HOLIDAY / VIDEO GAME / FEAST / MUSIC SHOW

RADIO SHOCK will be part of the Babycastles Holiday Party: Abusive Games Julefrokost

Thursday, DEC.23rd, 7:00pm – 1:00am at
Showpaper 42nd Street Gallery
217 East 42nd Street
New York, NY

I can’t even begin to describe this myself, so I will paste the description I received at the bottom of this update. I will try to do some of my holiday songs at this event, if I can relearn them.

**********
RADIO SHOCK on BANDCAMP!

Several Radio Shock albums can be streamed in high quality and free of charge at this great site:

http://radioshock.bandcamp.com

You can also buy and download the digital albums in whatever format you might like. I set the prices pretty low and the physical versions of these are all out of print, so get ‘em while they’re hot. Or just listen as much as you want.

**********
The band BEFORE Radio Shock

I also added to bandcamp the one album by the band which preceded Radio Shock, COCK ROBOT. This band was formed in Syracuse, NY and featured myself, Carl Diehl, and Toaster. I still really like our album, ELECTRIC YOUNG MEN, which I’ve made available here:

http://cockrobot.bandcamp.com

This one you can download for free! Happy holidays! Just click the BUY NOW and enter a ZERO in the “Name Your Price” field. You can pay for it if you want, but seriously, it’s cool, have it for free. I insist. There was also a Cock Robot split 7″ and a few unreleased tracks, so they may show up there in the future.
