About Nash –

Nash the Slash has been creating his unique concept of sound and vision for over twenty years. His first live presentation of music to film was a performance to the surreal silent film Un Chien Andalou at the Roxy Theatre in Toronto. Nash the Slash was born of silent film. The name comes from a killer butler encountered by Laurel and Hardy in their first film, Do Detectives Think (1927). Nash the musician has gone on to create the music scores for such recent cult films as Roadkill and Highway 61, both directed by Bruce McDonald.

 

Between experiments with film and music, Nash the Slash became a familiar name to music fans through his association with the pop electronic group FM. Having co-written the hit songs Phasors on Stun and Just Like You, Nash established his credibility as a versatile artist. His talents have been recognized with a U-KNOW (later called CASBY) award for best instrumental artist as well as a Juno nomination for best new male vocalist. Nash's profile was raised on the international stage when he toured the world with the likes of Gary Numan and Iggy Pop. Other high-profile shows include opening for The Who at C.N.E. Stadium in Toronto to a crowd of 70,000 people and opening for The Tubes at a sold-out Maple Leaf Gardens.

 

Nash has recently recorded new music for the silent film classics The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919), The Lost World (1925), and most recently his highly successful soundtrack to Nosferatu (1922), which he performed at the SKIF Music Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia. Nash continues to do unique film scores for other silent film classics, such as the original Phantom of the Opera.

 

Nash has released numerous solo albums, the best known being Children of the Night with the hit single Dead Man's Curve. Other albums include Decomposing, the first record playable at any speed (reviewed in Playboy Magazine, 1982); and American Bandages, a collection of all-American classics such as We're an American Band, Who Do You Love, and Psychotic Reaction.

About DisinVectant -

"A fantastically eerie soundtrack for some sort of an electronic wasteland...makes you feel like you stumbled on a drunken poetry reading in the post-apocalypse." Tim O'Keefe, Brown Student Radio (Rhode Island). "Mercilessly dark vocals, thrust from the bowels of the earth, immediately confront you and take you to the darker side. This is music at its harshest." Tony Bates, Highlands 100.7FM (Australia)

 

"Their sound is the sound of alienation. Or, at least, outsiderdom. It's dark and machinistic and it reeks of fear and disaffection and frustration. Of dirt. Of grime. Of rot and decay. Of things that need DisinVecting...black like a powercut, through circumstance not calculation" (Jimmy Possession, robots+electronic brains)

 

"...sounds like a city eating itself in slow motion while a thousand trains go rusty at double speed." (Vincent Drummond)

 

"...harsh, atmospheric compositions...an almost excruciating heaviness...a delivery that's screaming epic, all the while retaining a bleak grittiness that marks a real soundtrack for a coming wasteland" (George Mouratidis, Connexion Bizarre)

 

"sinister electronics, heavy breaks and spoken word processed vocals. Dark stuff with powerful lyrics and an almost apocalyptic feel. Some where between abstract hip-hop and abstract electronica." (Ant, Norman's Records)

About The Antique Toys

We couldn't quite explain who we were... but thanks to one of our fans, now we can:

 “A Rag Doll, a Tin Soldier, a Marionette, and a Shadow Puppet make up this independent band, appropriately named The Antique Toys. Armed with creative lyrics, a powerful vocalist, an electronic sound, live instruments, and a certain, anonymity, The Antique Toys is blending familiar sounds from bands of the late 80s and early 90s with a digital twist. Drawing from a healthy mix of eclectic music, the Toys have been influenced by a long list of bands such as OMD, Depeche Mode, the Cure, David Bowie, Shiny Toy Guns, Postal Service and Radiohead. From this collection to draw from, The Toys have developed a variety of sounds, but every one of their songs carry an emotion that is clear to many of their fans. They tell real stories from their past, and from their hearts. Their music has been inspiring to many, which as Toys, should be the case. We all had favorite toys growing up, and still have some now. The feeling of joy and hope they bring to us is what The Antique Toys brings to people in their music..."

CLIENT - Man Overboard (2002 web exclusive - unreleased track) http://www.client-online.net/ http://www.myspace.com/client

Client are one of those groups that purposefully maintain an enigmatic aura. In the beginning, the dynamic duo of Kate Holmes and Sarah Blackwood even went so far as to hide their real identities behind the two faceless codes of “Client A” and “Client B.” “We wish to be judged on basis of our music, and not our looks. Furthermore, we have quite a bit of fun flirting with anonymity and androgyny.” Their custom-tailored look is reminiscent of uniforms - part Eastern European stewardess or secretary, part dominatrix. The aesthetic reflects the group’s central themes of voyeurism, the underbelly of the city, the dark side of life.

Client’s sound could best be classified as minimalist Electronica, solidly rooted in a classic song writing tradition. Influenced by bands like Joy Division, Kraftwerk, DAF, The Smiths and the sound of the English North, the band is the perfect counterpart to today’s “feel-good” Europop-muzak.

Client were formed in 2002. For their self-titled debut, they signed to Andy Fletcher’s Toast Hawaii label. The production was dominated by strange beats that sported an alleged naívité, cynically intelligent lyrics and a cold, minimal vocal style. It was met with very positive receptions from both the press and the public and provoked strong resonances on part of the media and art scene. One German admirer was promptly inspired to create an art installation based on “Client”, while British film maker Nick Love used the single “Rock and Roll Machine” for his movie “Football Factory.” Two tracks also featured in the U.S.- TV- shows Nip/Tuck and CSI.

The second album “City” was co-produced by Joe Wilson (Sneaker Pimps). The first single “In it for the Money” was a sharp reaction to the cynicism inherent in Pop Culture and became an instant Electro-classic. The b-side “Down to the Underground” featured guest vocals from Pete Doherty (Babyshambles, The Libertines), while the album had guest-appearances by Martin L. Gore from Depeche Mode and Carl Barat (The Libertines). Numerous tracks have also been licensed to film and TV.

Playing live has always been a top priority for Client … and there are only a few bands that get the chance to kick off their career in front of a really big audience. In 2002, they debuted supporting Depeche Mode in Europe, playing to crowds of more than 15000. In 2003, the band embarked on three European tours, playing in France, Great Britain (supporting Karl Bartos (ex-Kraftwerk)), Germany, Scandinavia, Spain, as well as Russia and Mexico. Kate and Sarah also became resident DJs of their own club “Being Boiled” at the Notting Hill Arts Club. In May 2004, they played another UK tour, this time opening for Mick Jones’ (ex-The Clash) and continued playing live all over Europe, often alongside DJ Andy Fletcher . It is thus hardly any wonder that Client have the reputation of being one of the hardest working music acts in the UK.

In January 2005, the single “Pornography” (with Carl Barat) was released and instantly charted at number 22 in the UK single charts. Client also played numerous shows that year and supported Erasure on tour as well as visiting China for the first time. In October, Client A and B found a permanent third member in Emily Mann (Client E): bass player, model and, measuring in at 1,84m, quite a presence. They noticed her at their club and were instantaneously impressed by her rock’n’roll-attitude, as she had passed out on the floor drunk! Emily added the final piece of the jigsaw to Client.

Given the stylish presentation and intriguing charms of the band, it was only a matter of time, until the world of fashion would cast an eye on Client. Thus, the Italian issues of Vogue and Vanity Fair booked them for photo shoots and the Italian fashion design company GAS had them walk the catwalk. And, most recently, the German FHM featured a photo shoot in their November 2006 issue. Client also design all their own merchandise under the “ClientArt”- logo and have worked really hard at their internet presence since the beginning... being one of the first bands to realise the marketing potential of a global brand. They oversee all their own artwork, design and image .

The year 2007 saw the trio as energetic as ever. After touring with The Pet Shop Boys, Mesh , The Charlatans and Covenant, Client signed with the German independent label Out of Line in late 2006. The single “Lights Go Out” was again very well received by press and public and the album “Heartland”, produced by Youth (The Verve, Primal Scream ) and Stephen Hague (New Order), followed in early 2007. Two more hit-singles, "Drive" and "It's Not Over" were released from the album and the ladies have now prepared "Untitled Remix", a CD jam-packed with the coolest remixes, unreleased tracks, rarities and collaborations from the "Heartland"-era, due for release in April 2008. Nothing can stop these Electro-ladies who have rightly earned their reputation of not only being the coolest all-girl-band on this planet, but also the hardest working one.

 

I SPY - Even If http://www.myspace.com/ispyx The "band" consists of me, my computer, some software, my guitar and my Roland D10. That's it! I started writing songs years and years ago on an old cassette-based, 4-track machine. These days I've finally moved into the digital age, and I'm gradually re-recording old songs and composing new ones. So, please keep checking back.
