Protest Recordings have joined forced with Teton Gravity Research
and Nokia N-Gage to lay on a number of next level hearty parties
to celebrate the launch of TGR’s Soul
Purpose film – an epic visual feast showcasing the world’s finest
boarders strutting their slick stuff in places as diverse as Romania,
Bulgaria, Italy, Russia, British Columbia, Wyoming, Oregon, Utah
and Alaska.
Madness at Electrowerkz
Between November and March, London’s infamous Electrowerkz is being
taken over once a month by Protest Recordings to host a string of
TGR Madness events as part of a pan-European tour taking in 12 territories.
Protest opens its 2005 account on the 14th January with a generous
dose of industrial-strength partying at Electrowerkz.
This time round it’s a gripping all-out riffing
assault with the hotly-tipped Ladyfuzz show-casing their blend of
edgy pop sensibilities and new-wave chic that has earned them the
honour of Single of the Week on BBC 6 Music. They head a star-studded
bill that also includes sample-tastic Spanish punk-rockers Santa
Cruz and West London trail-blazers The Dash, who have supported
The Libertines and worked with Strokes producer extraordinaire Gordon
Raphael.
Quality stellar performances
Last but by no means least come The Zapatistas who make a textured
racket, mixing influences as varied as nu wave, hiphop, and indie
to make angular pop for dancefloors everywhere. The live show is
rapidly picking up a reputation for being fast, loud, and fun, making
comparisons to the Strokes and the Rapture seem slightly less like
lazy journalism.... Chuck in stellar DJ performances from the Flaxon
Ptootch familia and Protest’s own resident ALX400, not to mention
the chance to win some purrfect prizes such as an all expenses paid
skiing holiday, and the stage is set for a cold-filtered classic
of an evening.
Batten down the hatches, abandon all thoughts of resistance and
brace your butts for a musical tour-de-force from the Protest protagonists.
If you can't make it to this night, and you're
not a ticket winner, then the next N-Gage TGR Madness Shows are
taking place at Electrowerkz: Fri 11th Feb and Fri 11th March. To

Purpose, head to the Natives.co.uk
