Mornings

There seem to be more than one MORNINGS (as we all know). But anyway, the MORNINGS I can tell about is my new solo project that I just founded in January 2009. I formerly run the MUSTACHE ENSEMBLE on my own and play in UGLY IGLU and M4 TRIO right now, too. I did a lot of collaborations with the great BLOODY THINGS recently, so you´ll find my solo stuff here as well as excerpts of sessions I did with him. For more information, music and photos visit me, surprise surprise, here:

Crab Smasher

Crab Smasher are a Newcastle, Australia based group of improvisational sound sharks crafting a frenzied hodgepodge of weirdo psychedelic noise rock and experimental pop delicious. The band formed in 2002 as a cheesy electronic novelty noise act and have since mutated through a number of confusing formations into the sellout rock-and-roll hydra that exists today. The lineup currently consists of Grant Hunter, Nicholas French, Marnie Vaughn, and Nathan Martin.

Swans

Swans is an influential band from New York City, New York, United States, active from 1982 to 1997, reformed in 2010, led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. Marginally associated with the no wave scene at first, their original sound was slow and heavy, with live performances that were often so brutal and physical that in a number of instances certain audience members were made ill, police were called and venues were shut down. This early physical sound is possibly best heard on the live album Public Castration Is a Good Idea.

The Postures

since forming in mid 2006, the postures quickly marked out their own unique sonic territories. the line-up of michael (guitar, primary hollering, baritone guitar), michael (drums, bass), and jeremy (guitar, synth, auxillary hollering, drums) have an anything-goes approach to song writing, incorporating elements of post-rock, metal, disco, kraut-rock, doom, punk, and no-wave, with lyrical inspiration drawn from disparate subjects such as the nature of insanity, the edge of the known universe, the apocalypse, and charleton heston.

HTRK

Originated in Melbourne, Australia, art rock project HTRK -- pronounced "Hate Rock" (also known before as Hate Rock Trio) -- began performing in 2003. After their former group disbanded, bassist Sean Stewart and guitarist Nigel Yang recruited vocalist Jonnine Standish with aims to create a project inspired by Lynchian imagery, using very slow mechanical repetition (courtesy of an 808 drum machine and Jonnine playing percussion), simple groove-laden basslines, and highly textured guitar noise.
