Band Members:Want to be on Alienpig records? Okay here’s the deal, you put up two songs/tracks and/or artwork for free download at the alienpig site and links will be made to your site from this page, the Alienpig records site and from the PIG website, you retain all copyright etc. ************************************************************ ******** ALIENPIG RECORDS ----------- DOING IT FOR THE MUSIC ************************************************************ ******** Al Hotchkiss -“Rocks and gravel”/ “Love in mind”, young singer songwriter who claims to be influenced by, among others, Syd Barrett, Link Wray, Bowie, Roy Orbison, Scott Walker and the B52s, is not lacking in confidence. But his confidence is well founded if the tracks on his myspace site are typical. From the Link Wray influenced Nuggets era psych garage wig out Channel X (which has more than a few echoes of the Acid Fascists )via Roadracers mix of Loaded era Primal Scream and the Electric Prunes through the surprisingly laid back, cool and soothing Flores to the, well, beatific Beatifics young Mr Hotchkiss backs his confidence up. These are songs that are the antithesis of anything covered in the NME these days and are all the better for that. They walk on the other side of the road to the Kooks, Klaxons and other bands that don’t begin with the letter K, without even a doff of the cap in that direction. If you still use words like Freak Out, Far Out and Cosmic or are looking for someone who is well away from the centrepoint of todays music scene (and could therefore be the centrepoint of tomorrows music scene) then look no further than Al Hotchkiss. myspace.com/alhotchkiss ************************************************************ ******** The Arthur Montford Experience Born out of a 3 day Jack Daniels, trebor mints and nachos session, The Arthur Montford Experience is the twisted brainchild of DJ Stramash. With over 25 years experience as a DJ, this is Stramash’s first foray into making music since the infamous South Wales garage punk band ’Very Strange Machine’ of the early to mid 80’s. Previously called Kerfuffle Klux Klan, but changed after a burning cross was found on my West Hull lawn, The Arthur Montford Experience pays homage to the greatest football commentator of all time. Believing that genre is far too French a word, T.A.M.E seek to break down these barriers by use of force and a large amount of semtex Stramash has honed his ears into slightly pointy listening devices that have enjoyed the decks and sex as resident with mid 90’s party outfit Breach of the Peace and Mad Dog, Throbb and Axis as well as being a regular guest at pussypower’s infamous all nighters. He has also enjoyed the odd drunken cavorting in the beautiful fields, woods and swampy bits of Scotland especially at the Letham Free Festival. Stramash has played with acts as diverse as Splodgenessabounds, Spiral Tribe, Hardfloor,Dave Clark, Paris Angels and recently performed a dj/live set at The Outsider Festival Their influences range from ’80s electronica such as Ultravox (Johnn Foxx era, not that wee poncey sidekick of bob geldof) and Cabaret Voltaire through to the darker side of noughties electro with a nice sprinkling of Scottish deity Ivor Cutler. They like breaking into Zoo’s and playing extended laptop sets to the bewildered animals and hope to plan a world tour very soon where they will play famous zoological gardens around the globe. When they are not doing musicaly things,T.A.M.E like to relax by throwing peanuts at policemen and whistling medleys of Lonnie Donegan numbers. myspace.com/kerfufflekluxklan ************************************************************ ******** ****CLAN SPAMBORSKEE************************************************* ************************
