Skeletron Ball LIVE: Michael Parallax

"Suddenly the whole world falls apart... the static comes rolling in on the stereo"

Today's video is from: MICHAEL PARALLAX

Michael Parallax, is my younger brother and best friend. His one-man-band of electronic virgin-colada dance pop is a show you shouldn't feel okay about missing. Mike played the first night of Skeletron Ball to a crowd of rabid listeners and dancers. If you pay attention you can see me thrashing around like a lunatic with my shirt off around the 1:50 mark.



He's currently working on his fourth self-released LP.

Skeletron Ball LIVE: Birdfeeder

Today's video is from: BIRDFEEDER.

birdfeeder is: UF law student, Grant Johnson playing amazing dance-oriented laptop electronics. I would argue that birdfeeder is making some of the best music coming out of Gainesville right now. I would highly recommend attending every single one his shows [especially shows that include an incredibly loud sound system].

birdfeeder is currently working on an EP [hopefully to be released this month].




Check out his shows:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13th @ the UF Fine Arts Building for "ART BASH" w/ jamesDUNK
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 14th @ The Laboratory w/ Ars Phoenix, Rabbit Punch, and Viirus
DECEMBER 28 w/ Totally Nebular, and Hear Hums [location tba]

NEXT TIME: [shameless self-promotion]

Skeletron Ball LIVE: jamesDUNK

Recently, my brother and friend's put on an electronic music festival at Spin Cycle in Gainesville. It was amazingly fun. Alex Gilwit and Christian Gutierez were on hand with video equipment to capture some of the shows. I'll be posting video from the shows as I finish editing them. Today's video is jamesDUNK.

jamesDUNK is: James Folker playing enormous and swelling guitar loops coupled with distanced and washy vocals over laptop electronics. Check out the video of him playing "Flesh Flowers" below:



This was jamesDUNK's first show ever, ever. Looking forward to an album soon.

Check out his show with birdfeeder on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13th @ the UF Fine Arts Building for "ART BASH"

While No One Is Waiting...

I'm almost finished with HEAAVY THINGS. One more track needs lyrics. After it's finished, I'll post it in it's entirety with a little hand-drawn cover I'll be making. Currently trying to get a job to pay rent and use the extra money to pay to make solid copies of The Dustpan Coughed Static. Until then, I decided to post a couple of songs for ol' Wiley Shakespeare. I recourded them sometime last year. AND all the lyrics were written by ol' Wiley Shakespeare. Enjoy:


(above: virtual approximation of what Shakespeare probably looked like.)
