Acid Test Radio

Our Brett spoke to Shane at Acid Test Radio about DSA, record shops and music in general, plus there’s an airing of our track from the recent We Love You Junzo comp. Listen below or check out the full show page.

Februpdate

First of all, we’re overwhelmed with the great response to Night Lands – thanks to all the blogs, podcasts etc. that have featured it (list below) and everyone who’s bought it of course.  The album is already sold out in physical formats (possibly a few left in the US at Feeding Tube) but we are planning a small re-press later in the year.  Meanwhile it is still available to stream and download on Bandcamp along with our entire back catalogue.  In particular if you enjoyed the free-flowing, spontaneous music of Night Lands you might like our earlier collections of practice room jams, Thermionic Emissions vol. 1 & 2 which are pay-what-you-like downloads.  On the other hand if you prefer something more definite, we offer the last remaining vinyl copies of Adam Stone & DSA Live In Belper: “40-plus minutes of electric satire and caustic future-punk aimed straight at the throbbing heads of an appreciative crowd of misfits.”

We have provided a new recording – a 16 minute piece entitled Lunar Mansions – to the forthcoming Dark, Outside broadcast The da-daRK OUTSIDE, which will transmit from Dada artist Kurt Schwitters‘s Merz Barn in Cumbria as part of the Aerial Festival on 28th-29th of March.

On the live front we are lining up two batches of gigs – some in May & June and then some in October / November – more details as they are announced (and we are open to offers) but suffice to say that we are finally going international!

Those Night Lands reviews: Fragmented Flâneur  |  [sic] Magazine  |  Fighting Boredom  |  Reverb Is For Lovers  |  Terrascope  |  The Sleeping Shaman  |  Echoes and Dust  |  New Music Social  |  Fuzzy Sun

Podcasts & Internet Radio: Nightfolk In The Afternoon  |  Unending Subtleties  |  Bob Osborne  |  Dandelion Radio  |  Turn Me On, Dead Man

Let us know if we’ve missed any!

Thanks for listening.

Music from The Dark Outside

As befits this, the darkest week of the year in our hemisphere, we are delighted to be included on the debut release from TDO Cassettes, Music From The Dark Outside Volume One.  Our track Rethreads (a backwards dub mix of Threads in case you hadn’t twigged) was originally broadcast as part of The Dark Outside 2013 and has been selected for this first compilation of highlights from five years of The Dark Outside transmissions. This is a limited edition of 100 cassettes, no downloads or streaming.  The other artists featured are: Komputer, Handspan, Wizards Tell Lies, Mark Lyken, Jim Jarmo, Martyn Ware, S.E.T.I. (Andrew Lagowski) and The Rise And Demise Of John. Click through for more details and how to order.

Dandelion Radio

We have an exclusive session (recorded live in our practice room) on Pete Jackson’s show on Dandelion Radio this month – check the schedule for broadcast times.

The Dark Outside

We’ve contributed a track to The Dark Outside FM,  a unique radio broadcast in the Galloway Forest on 31st Aug – 1st Sept. Find out more from this brief interview with curator Frenchbloke, or see the Tumblr or official web site.

Rückstoss Gondoliere (slight return)

The Fruits De Mer album Head Music is sold out and going for moderately silly prices on eBay, but if you haven’t heard our contribution to it, a cover of the early Kraftwerk number Rückstoss Gondoliere, it’s on the CD included with the new issue of Prog magazine, out today. Cape not included. It’s also on the latest Was Ist Das? podcast which includes brilliant live tracks from Acid Mothers Temple and Suzuki Junzo.

AllFM etc.

Thanks to everyone who came to hear us at Sounds From The Other City, and thanks to Fat Out for putting us on.   After our set we were interviewed by Fiona from AllFM for her next Anything Goes Breakfast Show – tune in from 9 till 10:30 am this Thursday on 96.9 FM or at allfm.org. Update: listen here.

Our next gig is on Monday 14th May at The Castle Hotel in central Manchester, supporting US indie band The Big Sleep along with new Manchester combo White Vinyl.  Free entry if you ‘like’  facebook.com/musicinbeta. See you there!

Radio On

Dead Sea Apes have an exclusive session on Dandelion Radio’s Jeff Grainger’s show. Tracks include Soy Dios, plus two songs from the soon come Astral House EP, Bikini Atoll and Astral House.

The session is aired on his show throughout the month of July, and is on at various times of the day, depending on what day it is. You can find the schedule here.

Meanwhile, in Texas…

A complimentary blog post from Revolt Of The Apes, and a play on KBYD (about 53mins into this Ustream recording)

Rest assured that we are putting the final touches to our next release (a 3-track EP) and we are also recording a cover version for an upcoming Fruits de Mer album.
