At War With The Mystics

[Something good is happening on the 16th of October - details to come soon]

I just got back from Bestival and I've gotta say, I had a hoot! I wont bore you with all the details, there was way to much cool junk for me to mention it all, but here are some of my choice cuts:

Chilly Gonzales
I was banging on about him not long ago and do you know what? I was right. You know when you go to a house party and some fuck gets out their guitar, and you think "What a bell end, I was listening to the Mr T rap!" Well imagine that the guitar is a piano, and that fuck is actually pretty awesome. Well, that's a little bit like Chilly, sort of. What I mean to say is his show was a chaotic disco piano masterpiece. At one point he stood on the piano and played it with his feet and it still sounded good. He finished with this track: (You may recognise it from the iPad adverts, which Chilly pointed out is an anagram of Paid)


Fever Ray
This was the most mysterious gig I've I ever been to. The stage was completely covered in smoke for the entire show, with Fever Ray lurking at the back for most of the time. A few lasers and Nan's livingroom lapshades provided the only light in the tent. When Fever Ray finally came forwards into the light she was covered by a bizarre mask. The magical rolling base and ethereal scandinavian vocals couldn't have been more calming after losing my mind in the madness of The Prodigy crowd.


The Flaming Lips
These guys have been around for a while now and I think they have spent most of that time perfecting their live show. I haven't heard anything new from them for a while, but who cares when they have such a good back catalogue. Their 1997 album Zaireeka was sold on four CDs, which needed to be played on four seperate hi-fis at the same time, luckily nothing that complicated was required to enjoy their show at Bestival. As ever they were fantastic and psycadelic.

Midnight Express

There is some exciting news on the way for NoiseBan, I can't tell you any more than that at the moment, but this is the place to find out - so come back regularly!

I don't know very much about this guy from Chicago called the Midnight Conspiracy. I could make something up, but instead I think I'll just listen to some of his tracks:

Crystal Castles - Vietnam (Midnight Conspiracy Remix) by Midnight Conspiracy

Tiga - What You Need (Midnight Conspiracy Summer of '87 Remix) by Midnight Conspiracy

Esser - Headlock (Midnight Conspiracy Dubstep Remix) by Midnight Conspiracy

chilli con zales

I was at Field Day (Festival) and after SMD finished some guy got up on the stage wearing a dressing gown, sat at a piano and announced " Hi, I'm Chilly Gonzales: muscial genius." I thought to myself, I like this guy's style. I listened to the first couple of songs and enjoyed them but had to leave the tent for some lame reason. Today I was checking out the line up for Bestival (if you haven't guessed, another festival) when I saw his name on the list. Thats' how I found possibly my favourite thing in the world right now:

Chilly Gonzales - I Am Europe

Chilly is a Canadian who's been hanging around in Europe for a few years now. Apparently he's toured with Peaches and does shows attended by the cool kids in Berlin. Erol Alkan and Boys Noize asked him to rework their track Waves and it sounds like this:

Đ•rol Alkan and Boys Noize-Waves (Chilly Gonzales Piano Remake)

I checked out the video for I am Europe and its got Tiga in it, this guy is connected. What I want to know is why no-one told me about him earlier. You can apologise for not letting me know about Chilly Gonzales in the comment box below.

Chilly Gonzales - Never Stop
