Midwest and West Coast Studio Update

Things are CRAZY right now and I like it that way. The Ray Davies (feat. Billy Corgan) song that was recorded at Coldwater Studio came out on November 6th, 2010. It sounds very cool and you should check it out here. Kevin Dippold did a great job engineering the track. The Pumpkins are in the midwest right now recording new songs for Teargarden By Kaleidyscope and Billy seems very excited about the way the recordings are progressing. The band will be hitting the road again soon, tour dates can be found here. I look forward to checking out the California SP shows in December.

Today, November 8, 2010 I am finishing 2 Smashing Pumpkins mixes from the Spin 25 show in New York. The show was completely ass kicking and the band sounds great. Here is a review from that night. I am not sure when the show will broadcast on Fuse.TV but as soon as know I will get the info up on this blog and there will be announcements on the SP Facebook, website, twitter, etc..

Later this week I plan on uploading KB song #3 "Familiar" look for the song at bandcamp.com Thursday 11/11 If you haven't checked out Song #1 and #2 here they are.

This week also begins the first week of preproduction for the new Electric Prunes and The Strawberry Alarm Clock songs that Billy and I will be putting out on StarTone Records Inc. These songs have us all very excited.

Over at Starry Records Pre-orders will start very soon for The Fancy Space People vinyl. The first 100 will be cut in white vinyl. There will only be 99 available because I am keeping 1 for myself. In the mean time please check out the Fancy Space People in the digital world.

Well, that's all for now.

Song # 2 - "Sugarcane Dance"

The "Album" is called "Vibration" thanks to Benjamin @Exclaimed. He came up with the name after I asked via Twitter if anyone had a good idea for the album title. I like it so..... "Vibration" is the name for now. Thanks Benjamin.

Song #2 -

"Sugarcane Dance" is a creepy dance song about the underground nightclubs in Chicago. The story is true the names have been changed 2 protect the guilty. This song should be listened to with headphones or on a system with very large speakers at loud volume.

I would like to thank Chris Slade, Gilby Clarke, Muddy, Patches and Chris Dye for playing and singing on this song.

Song number 3 will out Monday November 8th.

2 songs a week

I have a bunch of songs that I started over the years and just never finished. Last night I was thinking how lame it is that these songs are just sitting on a fucking hard drive doing nothing. So I am going to put them up on bandcamp for whoever wants them. My hope is to upload 2 songs a week. Here is song #1 Cure Me - A song about my love of pop, The Cure, and a time machine.
Bye 4 Now,

The Ray Davies/Billy Corgan recording at Coldwater Studio

Here is a clip of "All Day And All Of The Night/Destroyer" The recording we did with Billy Corgan last month at Coldwater Studio: It sounds super rad if I do say so myself.

Fancy Space People Press Release

The Fancy Space People began when the unlikely duo of Germs drummer DON BOLLES and quirky solo chanteuse NO-RA KEYES, started receiving communications from invisible entities claiming to be from Fancy Space , asking them to present their presumably benevolent messages to the people of Earth, secreted within neo-classic rock tunes. Told that they were chosen not so much for any musical talent they might possess, but more because they would fit into the elaborate space outfits, Don and Nora, neither of whom had much going on at the time, anyway, readily agreed.

The aliens assured them that their proposed role didn't involve any such unsavory or strenuous activities as cattle mutilation or crop circle construction. All they had to do was play the songs and wear the outfits. The outfits ended up looking positively stellar, indeed, and the audio hieroglyphs - montages of familiar rock cliches from the 60s, 70s, and 90s, what we on Earth might call songs - turned out to be surprisingly fresh and new sounding; fun, even! Soon, 5 other musical miscreants were recruited into the cult to play the other instruments and wear the remaining space suits, and Fancy Space People was born.

That was 4 years ago - nowadays their often sold-out shows, the so-called Fancy Space Rituals, incorporate film, video, smoke, lights, crazy costumes and their uniquely derivative Pleiadian Power Pop to great effect, putting hundreds of bedazzled fans into ecstatic, dervish like states, complete with lots of spontaneous dancing and people singing along with their lighters in the air at venues all over California, where the band live and record in a top-secret compound in an industrial area just south of Los Angeles. Their songs range from moody Mellotron hymns to Glitter Rock stompers, Snow Pop to Psychedelic Space Epics, 60s Girl Group to 70s Krautrock, and remind one of the best of T Rex, Bowie, Abba, Sparks, and even Amon Duul II.

Already they have attracted such enthusiastic collaborators as BILLY CORGAN of the Smashing Pumpkins, MARS WILLIAMS from the Psychedelic Furs, PAUL ROESSLER (Screamers, Nina Hagen Band) and Belgian Synth Witch SHAZZULA NEBULA. Their eponymous debut vinyl EP was mixed and recorded by KERRY "STUDIODOG" BROWN (The Smashing Pumpkins, Greg Dulli, Courtney Love, Kelley Deal, Catherine, The Frogs, Jessica Simpson) & KEVIN DIPPOLD (The Smashing Pumpkins) and produced by DON BOLLES. It features the groups theme song Fancy Space People, which seems to advocate saving the Earth by somehow eliminating the humans, Pleiadian Youth, a song celebrating and also warning against the new exoteric invisible nation, and the hauntingly ethereal Pyramids Shoot Golden Rays, a song that accompanies a popular Youtube video by No-Ra that reminds one of a new-age sci-fi Kenneth Anger film.

Can a ridiculously attired Los Angeles Glitter rock space cult, channeling cryptic messages from Fancy Space, really save the Earth and usher in a new Golden Age? Maybe yes; maybe no. But whatever the case, if you think you might enjoy a bunch of heroic bubble-glam pop anthems, delivered with an ass-kicking punk rock authority and an almost Crass-like dedication to an alien agenda, then a close encounter with Fancy Space People will at very least help to make the remainder of our planets juggernaut into the abyss a whole lot more fun and entertaining for you than it otherwise might have been.
