The annual International Noise Conference is almost here, and I just finalized travel plans, so both RADIO SHOCK and the other band I'm in, HOT WAR, will be performing on Saturday, Feb.13th at that event.

http://www.last.fm/event/1392306+International+Noise+Conference

This insane "conference" takes place in Miami, Florida, so anyone getting this message is probably either already going or can't make it – but there's plenty of time to make your flight reservations for 2011! Over 100 freaky noise bands play for 15 minutes each over 3 days, for free, at a place called Churchill's.

The full schedule will be posted here:
http://squelchers.net/inc.htm

**********

also… HOT WAR is playing a warm-up show in Manhattan, tomorrow, Thursday Feb.4th!

Alphabet Lounge
104 Ave. C (at 7th St.)
NYC, NY

Also playing this event is the amazing and highly recommended band PARANOID CRITICAL REVOLUTION (twisty-turny no-wave/noise-rock), as well as a math-rock band and a techno group. Might be weird. The schedule looks something like this:

8pm Jay Double Okay (myspace.com/jaydoubleokay)
9pm The 1000 Year Plan (myspace.com/1000yearplan)
10pm Hot War (www.hotwar.net)
11pm The Paranoid Critical Revolution (myspace.com/theparanoidcriticalrevolution)

And these times are likely to be pretty accurate. Except PCR may go on earlier. HOT WAR plays a short set.

I just opened my email this morning and saw the sweet attached virtu-flyer for tonight's show. Very nice. Very appropriate.

The show tonight has moved !!! Please make a note !!!

It is now taking place at Goodbye Blue Monday, at 1087 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY – in beautiful Bushwick.

Starting 8:00 PM – in the BACK ROOM.

RADIO SHOCK is probably on at 10:30. PROBABLY.

This is near the Kozsciusczko stop on the J train or not too far from the J,M, and Z stop at Myrtle.

If you are getting the impression that this show will be chaotic and strange, you are probably right! AWESOME.

in Bushwick/East Williamsburg – and an early show too (early for Brooklyn)

It's the gift that I keep on giving… year after year: the Radio Shock holiday album, "SnoWave." This year I've put all the tracks up on last.fm for you to hear, and the lead track, that wintertime classic written by Teenage Jesus and The Jerks, "Orphans," can be downloaded for you to add to your Christmas mix at the family get-together.

http://www.last.fm/music/Radio+Shock/SnoWave

There are even a few real copies of the 100-copy CD left too, just email me if you need one. I'd also intended to make the MP3 version available in time for Christmas too, but the Amazon system apparently works a little too slow for it to make it in time. The good news however is that it got approved, so they didn't recognize the cover songs! Hooray! And there's always next Christmas. MP3s: the gift that says "sorry I didn't get you a real gift."

Just keep refreshing this link until it appears:

************

I would also like to officially announce a new Radio Shock service: The Radio Shock Mailing List!

That is: the actual physical mailing list. Yes, if you would like to get real stuff delivered by a living postman from Radio Shock, then reply to this email address, put "Radio Shock mailing list" in the subject, and give me your actual, physical address where you receive mail. You will get writings and updates, you may get photos, stickers, buttons, xeroxes, who knows!

************

Upcoming shows:

January 27th at Death By Audio in Brooklyn
February 13th at the International Noise Conference in Miami Beach, Florida

************

Happy holidays everyone!!!

I'd be at this show even if I wasn't playing. Seriously. HEAD MOLT?! With THE BERMUDA TRIANGLES?! and SOME OTHER BANDS I'VE HEARD OF?

But really, Head Molt and Bermuda Triangles are both on tour from Richmond, VA. Both represent some of the freakiest, scummiest, and brilliantest muzik-noize that's happening right now. Plus some other bands who I believe are often held in high regard. I look forward to finding out what these dudes are all about: Telecult Powers, Chaos Majik, Matteah Baim. Plus RADIO SHOCK.

Friday, August 28th, MARKET HOTEL
1142 Myrtle Ave. (at B'way, JMZ train to Myrtle)
Brooklyn, NY 11221

doors at 8PM

Noise party! Show up on time!

****** "press" ******

Synchronicity. 2 blogs simultaneously ran features on RADIO SHOCK. The
End of Irony published an interesting interview here:

http://www.theendofirony.net/2009/07/interview-with-radio-shock.html

and UltraMegaSound wrote a "review" of my recent show at Noise!2009.
Also very interesting:

****** in other news ******

RADIO SHOCK mp3s can now be purchased on popular consumer site AMAZON.COM

The latest album "RAGE158" and the live ep, "AT THE TANK" are
available now, and I will be adding some more otherwise unavailable
things soon. Go here:

****** No-Core in person ******

Some of you may have already known that I do a blog and podcast
wherein I tell people what's good and what they ought to be listening
to. It's called NO-CORE. The brand new (still revising the design)
website is up at http://www.no-core.net

I will be representing No-Core this Saturday, July 11th, 4PM to
midnight, at the NY Eye & Ear Fest record fair! (at 92YTribeca, 200
Hudson at Canal St.) Admission to the record fair is completely free.
I'll be selling some Radio Shock stuff (of course) and also some cool
distro stuff from Malleable Records and Badmaster Records and more.

There are also some music shows that are part of the fest which cost
money but are totally worth checking out. More details:
