ATP curated by Jeff Mangum postponed

Vooredoms were scheduled to play at All Tomorrow's Parties curated by Jeff Mangum, with the original dates of 12/02/11 - 12/04/11. According to ATP, this event has been re-scheduled to 03/09/12 - 03/11/12 "due to a set of extremely unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances." It will be held at the same venue, Butlins Holiday Centre in Minehead, UK. ATP has also stated that they will need to confirm with every band to see if they will be able to perform at the re-scheduled festival. I will keep up to date with this.

Zach Hill solo album on Porter Records next year!!!

As of now, the title is listed as "Solo" and it will be available on LP (PRLP-020) and CD (PRCD-4064). You should be familiar with this phenomenal label for releasing Who Do You Think You Aren't? by Robby Moncrieff and Aggressively Humble by CHLL PLL, amongst other fantastic recordings.

Maintenance

I have decided to remove all occurances of plus signs (+) throughout the site. This symbol was used for the old site as a way to create lists, due to the hideous page layout myspace forced on users. More importantly, the "Group Works" and "Contributions" sections now have links for every entry. I try to find the most informative sites to link to. Any red text you see is a link elsewhere. The "Live Perfomances" section will be completed soon.
 

Zach on new Spoek Mathambo EP

03. Exmilitary cassette

"just got my hands on Death Grips first hard copy release of Exmilitary..." via lifeboy916 on Twitter 08/02/11

I have no idea when or how this cassette will be issued but it looks fantastic. LONG LIVE TAPES!!


04. Members

There seems to be a decent amount of confusion surrounding who is actually in this group. According to Death Grips' soundcloud page, these are the members: Flatlander, Info Warrior, Ex Military, Xach Hill, Ride, Mexican Girl and Tent City. Adding to this confusion, it seems that Ex Military and Tent City may not be names of people.


05. Goofi Respect

The internet only song, "Full Moon (Death Classic)", utilizes a sample from "Goofi Respect" on Zach's Lil Scuzzy EP. If you have not heard said EP, I suggest you do as quickly as possible.
