Bought tickets to see Front 242 in Brussels in December. I've seen them before but my other half hasn't, and I thought that seeing them in their home country would be awesome. Also after listening to the ID:YD podcast about them, was worried I might not get too many more chances.

Sidenote I can't believe how lucky we are to have ID:YD in this scene. I'm hardly a fan of everything they post, but i really really really appreciate the exposure they offer. And i hear stuff there that I love and have heard nowhere else.

Youth Code is so much fun live. A pity I can't make it to Berlin at that time and they're skipping the Netherlands...
e: drat, just noticed that they played at a music festival here yesterday... oh well, wouldn't have been able to make it.

Roadburn? A friend is there. A lot of the lineup is more metal/drone stuff but then you've got Youth Code, Author & Punisher, Carpenter Brut and Pertubator and some weird experimental stuff. The photos look mental. Also it looks like a pretty large proportion of the audience is men with massive beards.

YC's UK date is a support slot for Deafheaven who are extremely Not My Thing :smith:

Hoping they get a tour of their own here again in the next year or so, since I was out of the country for the last one.

Yeah, I always thought it was just a metal festival and so I ignored it, but apparently not!

Has anyone seen the recent incarnation(s) of KMFDM? I haven't seen them play live since the NIHIL tour, and really haven't cared much for their albums after the one that had "Last Things" on it. They're launching a tour with OhGr on the bill, so the Ogre/Puppy fanboi in me is already pushing the money toward that noise. Pretty sure KFMDM is the headliner. Normally, I wouldn't bother but since Ogre is touring I'm hoping to at least suffer through the set in the hopes of getting "Torture", "Full Worm Garden" or, "That's All" out of them.

Do they still pull out old classics? Maybe I get some "Godlike", "More and Faster", or "Go to Hell."

Oh hi thread. I thought I'd mention that two weeks ago I went to this weird little three-day industrial/post-punk music festival in Vancouver, featuring a bunch of tiny little West Coast bands you've probably never heard of. Somehow they managed to fill a three-day festival, and somehow the seemed to have broken even doing, even with crowds of only 50-100 people).

It was pretty fun. And small. And underground-feeling.

The Cleaner, you guys should think about getting in touch with the organisers for next year. It's pretty shoestring budget, but I believe they helped sort out places for bands to crash.

Nobody would care except he made two amazing albums and then did a Hindenberg all over everything.

gently caress, Violent Emotion was probably in my top 10 albums of the last 15 years, which just makes everything after that so much more horrible in contrast.

I saw them maybe 2 or 3 years ago, and honestly it was kind of a let-down. They played mostly newer stuff from the last couple albums, the period where Sascha gave up on life and everything started sounding the same, but a few classics too, so it wasn't a total loss. I'm glad I went, because they'd been on my list literally since I was in high school and for various reasons I'd never gotten around to it.

That said, I'm still going, because we don't always get the raddest genre shows here, and it's still KMFDM and Oghr.

Not sure if anyone else will be as excited about this as me, but S.K.E.T. have finally released a new album and it's just as good as I'd hoped. A bit more electro (rather than straight up noisy beats) than they used to be on some tracks but not in a bad way.

Dispatches from the Aesthetic Perfection show: I thought Army of the Universe wasn't going to play this date but here they are and the lead singer is like ten feet tall. Aesthetic Perfection's show banner is a black tarp with "AP is KEWL" written in white duct tape. His merch is p bad though, like I'd go for a t-shirt version of their banner before the rest of these.

Edit: Army was really a good show, Lord K has a ton of presence but unfortunately the crowd wasn't real into it

William Control is a real sort of embroidered vest and tie tab sort of guy, at least until he started doing some elaborate nunchaku ritual with the mic. Still, he commands attention, which is why I was surprised to look over and see the guy on synth having abandoned his station to literally climb the lighting rig. Also he looks almost exactly like Broken Matt Hardy. Great show, would see again

Oh no the banner fell down, maybe they shouldn't have used the same white duct tape to hold it up

I posted a while ago asking for favourite online radio streams. So far my consistent favourite is WFKU Blackdance (that link's the stream URL). It's straight-up EBM 24/7 that seems to always be just the thing I'm after. I have no patience or attention span for radio any more and will hop between streams if I hear five seconds of something I'm not interested in, but somehow I stick on this one. Vastly better than you'd think from the website, which like any good Internet radio station looks like it hasn't changed since 2000.

The new Stars Crusaders is out. Great blend of Italo-Disco cheese with futurepop / industrial and Stefan Poiss (mind.in.a.box) mixing and mastering.

I found out about them a few years ago through a DJ who was a big mind.in.a.box fan and he was like (laughing) "you gotta check out this band ripping them off so hard!" Later I found out, that actually it sounds like MIAB because it is MIAB, kinda. They're also mixed up with electronic artists in Milan/Turin who are doing cool stuff.

Warning: it's cheesy! You can't merely like cheese; you must love it!

Can confirm. EBM that's well on the way down the disco spectrum to Hi-NRG, made entirely of cheese and not ashamed in the slightest. Pretty good pop songs that have a beat and you can dance to it.

(remember: EBM is '80s Hi-NRG in a minor key and with the '70s soul diva replaced with a shouty fat bald German.)

Thanks a lot for this recommendation! Never heard of these guys but they are exactly my poo poo. I really like everything Poiss in involved with. Check out Loomec if you haven't. More conventional pop but it has that Poiss touch.

I missed them when they played DC back in January because I had to get up at like 4:00am the next day. I hope they come back — "Lust" is such a great track and I've had Yr Body Is Nothing on heavy rotation for the last six months.

I'm excited to see Body of Light open for Black Marble in June — two brothers from Tucson with a clear old-school EBM influence. Lots of fun.
