A few years back at the greatest bar ever Päiväkoti (R.I.P) a saw the most amazing DJ set I have ever seen. It was by Alexander Robotnick, a hundred year old chain smoking italian disco god. None of us young folks could keep up with him.
Here is a song by him re-released by Fool's Gold, called Obsession for the disco freak, and I'm absolutely in love with it. And whats not to love? Robotnick dancing with a cigaret in his hand and people flashing their favourite Disco jams, on vinyl. Kind of sucks that I only have two of the records shown in the music video, but at least I have a lot of records to scout on in the future.
Villa Nah is comig next week. Here they are with the producer of there VN ep. Jori Hulkkonen who has an album coming up later this month on Turbo records. I can hardly wait for it to come out.
Hi! Here's the poster. We added JK+ from HITTO to the lineup, a fact that makes me a bit aroused. Come catch Villa Nah while they're new, fresh and not spoiled by worldwide success which they'll be enjoying sooner than you'll guess.
P.S. Sorry 'bout the poor quality picture, had to make some changes to adjust it the way Blogger wants it to be.
Whoops, it's been a while since any of us did any posting. Time to fix it. I'll just keep it short without mumbling too much about what's been going on and promise to get back to you with another post later this week. Anyway, Miinustyttö decided to make school her number one priority for a couple of months, so it's just me and G.B. until the end of the year i suppose. We've been busy trying to book gigs all over Finland. At the moment it seems you'll get a glimpse of us at least in Tampere next month. I'm also involved in a radio show starting this month but I'll let you know more about it later.
I've got a song for you. It's not the best song ever written, but it makes my head nod like a good party song should. I was not going wild about Fukkk Offf when the album came out, and now it seems I like remixes better. Go get yours in digital form. Here's one by Markus Lange & Stereofunk:
Nite Jewel (Italians Do It Better, US) is coming to our tiny home town. Nice! This could easily become the one gig to see in Turku this year. So get that ridiculous seven euros, shove it in your fluff-filled pocket and navigate your way to Dynamo. The action starts at 2200.
Saturday was blast. Although we couldn't quite attract the crowd we were hoping for, we managed to pull together a decent enough party. I Was A Teenage Satan Worshipper really kicked ass and once again proved to be an awesome live band.
Here's a couple of photos by Veera Säilä. More to be added on Facebook any day now.
Hey everybody and sorry for being silent for a while!
I'm starting my post with a Fake Blood song which's been banging on my system lately. When comparing this with his earlier stuff one could almost call this disco. Well maybe disco house? What ever. The hooks in this track go staright to your guts and pull you on the dance floor and the next thing you know is the carneval whistle blowing holes in your ears. Despite all the carneval and the confetti, the recognizable Fake Blood sound we've grown to love these past couple of years is definitely there. Here's the song from Youtube. Go get a copy of Fix Your Accent EP, it has two more songs on the b-side.
Then to something completely different. We'll be having a party tomorrow and you are all invited! I Was A Teenage Satan Worshipper will be playing and it'll be a blast! I'm giving a free ticket in for the first five of you guys reading this. Just drop me an email in the address sheikki.sheikki@gmail.com, and I'll get back to you. Your name should be included in the email of course. Your address will not be used in any way, so there's no fear of future spam.
Here's a video from IWATSW made in 2006 i guess. Apparently the making of this video cost 8 euros at the time.
For us Bloghousers (is that are real word?) this is a old one, but now that this one is released on vinyl I think it's ok if I post some "old shit" as my first.
The artist is named Knightlife and has all kinds of nice electrodisco songs. This particular song kind of reminds me of Daft Punks Revolution 909 (It was the Drum machines Honnor day couple of days ago, 090909, did you celebrate?), and remindg me of Daft Punk is allways an invitation to the dancefloor. Plus its got Horns. And you can not sit at the table drinkin beer and talk about your friend who got to be on helooks (you shoudent talk about that at all) when theres horns playing, you gotta dance.
Tonight is the starting day of aura street market, we are gonna host a party together next week, but today you shoud go to TVO (these days, when ever you got a good reason to go to TVO, you shoud take it, while its still there. A shame, realy). Theres gonna be a Vintagemarket, a Vintagefashion show and of course live music (a local band called Hysteria, future sheikki act?). Plus a good freind of ours dj Anaïs Néné is playing records. How cool is that?
Unfortunately me and Hrrri are playing records at kolo tonight so we are going to miss all the fun (not all the fun! It all starts at 17:00!!). Come holla at us
För att få till stånd en riktig fest förenar det åboiska indiediskot Sheikki Sheikki och Aura Street Market sina krafter. Evenemanget gästas av artisten I Was a Teenage Satan Worshipper och för skivmusiken svarar SS-klubbens egna dj:n GoatBoy, HRRRI och Miinustyttö. Det ser lovande ut! Inträdetsavgift 6eur.
