Absolute Body Control (tonight), Wolf Eyes Tour Dates
by Black Bubblegum
Wolf Eyes
Detroit noise anti-heroes, Wolf Eyes have unleashed the latest in a long line of limited ed. tapes, lathe-cut LPs, split LPs, 7"s, and CD-Rs (come on guys, no player-piano scrolls?)...... a new collabo LP with Sickness. Out on Hospital Productions, aka Dominick Fernow's label and store of the same name, I would imagine you can probably pick up copies at their (meaning Wolf Eyes, Sickness, AND Prurient, Fernow's project) show this Saturday, April 5th, at Cake Shop.
Tonight (April 4), Wolf Eyes are scheduled to open for newly reformed dark electronic godfathers Absolute Body Control (their first US show EVER) (and who have TWO records out now on Daft) along with Martial Canterel at a shindig curated by and also starring Carlos Giffoni (of No Fun Productions and No Fun Fest fame).
Tickets are still available.
No Fun Fest details were recently released.

Although they played a major role in laying the foundations for electronic body music [or "industrial disco" as Reynolds puts it] Absolute Body Control are technically a minimal wave band. Ever since bands like Adult. renewed interest in electro, no-wave and other forms of electronic punk music that got kids digging deep into the history of this music, minimal wave has been making a steady comeback. A tremendous amount of credit must be given to East Village Radio co-founder Veronica Vasicka, who created the web community and record label Minimal Wave [dot org]. Much like Dan Selzer's Acute Records has put no-wave back in the spotlight by re-releasing long forgotten gems, Minimal Wave [dot org] has had an immeasurable impact on the resurgence of coldwave, minimal wave, minimal synth, etc., and it's fair to say that Absolute Body Control's current popular interest is in no small part due to Vasicka's passion and perseverance.
