Congratulations to Stochastic Theory's new "Opposite Extremes" for hitting #3 on A Different Drum's Top Sellers list this week!
09/26/06 - ph33r the Wisconscene
- The Gothsicles' new album, "NESferatu", has been officially released! The album debuted at number five on the Metropolis Top 10 Sellers Chart, and was the only album not released on that label to chart at all for that week. NESferatu is now enjoying another
week in the Top 10, currently at number eight.
The 'Sicles have recently been exploding faces off across the midwest with numerous live shows, sharing the stage with such acts as Terrorfakt, Cruciform Injection and Voltaire. Upcoming gigs include a sport at Racine, Wisconsin's Sound + Fury II with Covenant, Rotersand, Imperative Reaction, and labelmates Sensuous Enemy, and also as part of Caustic on his monumentally awesome tour with KMFDM & Combichrist.
- Sensuous Enemy, in addition to the gig at the aforementioned Sound + Fury II, lit it up so hard at Cleveland's ElectroPhest that Kristy of Zoica & Nilaihah Records is bringing them to Columbus for an encore. Peep this bad ass flyer here.
- Oh dogg, hells of yes:
Stochastic Theory's 2nd disc available for PREORDER now!
CLICK THE ABOVE PIC TO PREORDER!
This is electro-pop with an indie-rock edge, balancing dancefloor appeal with increasingly complex rhythms and arrangements accompanied by project founder Chuck Spencer's introspective lyrics. Featuring 10 new tracks, including a cover of R.E.M.'s classic 'Losing My Religion' and club remixes by Stochastic Theory and Caustic, Opposite Extremes begins where ST's breakout debut 'Soliloquy' left off - exploring themes of isolation, frustration, and uncertainty while picking up the pieces of a broken heart and a broken life.
Far beyond the constraints of your typical ''synthpop'', Stochastic Theory is an increasingly original act on the electronic forefront and is steadily building a following thanks to inclusion on high profile live bills including ASSEMBLAGE 23, ICON OF COIL, and STROMKERN.
08/29/06 - NESferatu in pre-order!
After years of playing some of the most talked about goth/industrial live shows in the Midwest, The Gothsicles long awaited debut, NESferatu, has arrived to deliver fist-pumping, video-game inspired stompfests that will bring out the geek in everyone and compliment their massive stage shows perfectly. Featuring remixes from Battery Cage, Caustic, Stochastic Theory and the momentarily-risen-from-the-dead Epsilon Minus, The Gothsicles brand of oddball EBM throws craze like an entire gaming convention on truckstop speed-- fun, loud, and endlessly entertaining. Also featuring guest vocals from Null Device's Eric Oehler and sometime third member Sega Lugosi (aka Matt Fanale of Caustic), NESferatu is set to rock the house, the dancefloor, and like nine or ten casbahs.
This album is currenly available for pre-order through Metropolis Distro and is slated to be released on September 5th.
Sensuous Enemy's first EP, the limited CDR "DEADLY SINS" is a mixture of powerful, dark electropop-- vibrant, sexy, and gorgeous. Having already shared the stage and held their own with bands from Hungry Lucy to The Cruxshadows to Android Lust, SENSUOUS ENEMY is poised to take the synth and electropop scenes by storm. This release is available
for purchase through their website. Check it out, you won't regret it.
Also now available are the Sonic Mainline LJ community and mailing list. The interweb is awesome!
