The blurb that The Icebergs sent us was "We are The Icebergs and we are a St. Louis-based experimental band. We fuse noise, trip-hop, industrial, jazz, and more into bite sized bits and choking hazards for your aural enjoyment."

Denver based electronic artist Kate Warner aka Mirror Fears specializes in smart, noisy, dark ambient club bangers.  Little surprise then that she found a kindred spirit in the similarly minded Denver transplant/STL ex-pat/once and future PP curator Brad "Night Grinder" Schumacher.  The two are taking their acts on the road over the next couple weeks, with stops in Kansas City, St. Louis, Altamont, Dekalb, Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, and Minneapolis.  To celebrate, here are a couple of her tunes, a studio track "Digest 1", and "Cecile, Man", which was recorded live on KGNU on 10/26/

Catching a Ghost Ice set always feels like you caught the most elusive Pokemon.  You find something so cool that you end up patting yourself on the back just for being in the right place at the right time.  And then POOF! it's gone, just a memory, and you're left standing there staring blankly at Jeremy Kannapell, and he's like "what?"  Well not this time.  Thanks to recent advances in spirit audiography, we have pulled this psychic imprint from the Tü Fest kickoff show at Blank Space out of the aether (ok, Dingus's overly full SD card, actually), and hereby submit it for your perusal.  Recommended listening for the easily possessed and the adventurous comatose.

So, if you missed the announcement, Paradoxal Pterodactyl is hosting a full bill of weirdo music on the first Wednesday of every month at the Way Out Club, with acts hand selected by our curatorial staff with the goal of booking new and/or rarely seen acts alongside our usual scene favorites, and the greatest hits from our podcast feed spun between sets.  The inaugural edition was on 10/7/, and was kicked off with this shimmering ambient set by Harvey Forest, aka Matt Muslin, playing his first STL set in five long years!  Also on the bill was Benjamin Kaplan bringing his unique flavor of thoughtful cut-up manipulations, PP regular Jaded Evil Lambs with his junksynth meanderings, and noiser power-trio-come-lately Bicycletricycle.  Don't miss the second installment of Way Out Weirdo Wednesday coming up quickly on 11/4/ featuring Brandywine River, Dave Stone, WHSKY JANEToR, and a one-off duo performance from David Bell & Joe Hess.  Big thanks as always to Bobbo & Sherri Danger.  Much love.  New legit episode of Paradoxal Pterodactyl coming soon, we'll likely whet your appetite with a couple more snacktimes meanwhile.  Stick around.

If for some reason you missed The Floating City's first show in ten years last night at Foam, take a tip and don't make the same mistake tonight.  Go to Foam.  Tonight.  It would be great if they kept it going, but as far as we know, tonight's it.  And last night was worth the wait.  If you missed them in their first life, here's a recap: rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

Breakdancing Ronald Reagan is Johnathan Cash from Austin, Texas.  He's a tireless, nonstop, maybe even RELENTLESS noisemaker- touring his ass off, releasing copious amounts of material, putting on the recently defunct annual huge noisefest suxbysuxwest, bodyslamming his gear through motherfucking tables, getting knifed and hammered in his dome, etc. etc.  If you haven't witnessed him in action, you've probably at least heard the tall tales.  BRR last graced STL in at Blank Space, and Dingus was there and is proud to present for your enjoyment not only the archival audio found here, but also the man himself in person at Dingus's crib this coming Sunday, July 19,  Noise BBQ Mini-Fest!  Firing up the smoker at two, music around 4.  Full lineup is Breakdancing Ronald Reagan, Aunt's Analog (also on tour from Austin), Jaded Evil Lambs, Catholic Guilt, Fecal Dam vs. Janet, Larva Lu, and American Merlin.  Not necessarily in that order.  Gonna be tits.  Be there.

John Parker and Justin Pitonak have made a name for themselves in the STL music scene in a relatively short period of time, playing with their various projects (32 Pc. Vintage Party Set, Pet Rock: the Musical, and Stone Hen), and booking a series of ambitious and successful shows with diverse lineups that straddle several genres.  This piece, entitled "John Carpenter Lied To Me" closed out an evening at the good old Way Out Club back in September, a sparsely attended show that Davelybob booked as part of the Way Out's 20th anniversary celebration.  Not a lot of people came, but every single set that evening was blisteringly great (also on the bill were The Top Grossing Films of , Jaded Evil Lambs, A Black Cat, and all the way from Indiana, the amazing chiptunes artist Hypnogram).  Luckily Dingus and his Zoom recording thingus were there to document it all, so you don't feel too terribly left out by not having been there.  But next time, don't fuck around.  Get your ass to the show.

Here is the rest of Catholic Guilt's set at the first Undercurrent show way back on 1/30/ at the Schlafly Tap Room.  The rest of their set was featured on the cassette put out by Eat Tapes, and available to download or stream at rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

Tonight is the very last Undercurrent event at the Schlfafly Tap Room, and the release of the last FREE cassette mixtape.  If you've missed out on everything so far, or are a completist, or just love us all that much, there will also be a limited edition box set available for purchase (proceeds go to Stephen Houldsworth's Ferguson leadership fund), which includes all 12 tapes, a specially made box with two different covers to hold them all, and a REALLY groovy DVD from rushbrookrathbone.co.uk capturing some of his favorite perfomances from the whole series paired with video of the live improvised video projections he was running with them.  A very exciting set, only 10 available, $75 each.  And as always, great beer, great food, and great tunes. Tonight we have encore performances by Trauma Harness and CaveofSwordS, two exciting new bands Hardbody (members of Braining and Stonechat) and Skin Tags (members of Little Big Bangs and Spelling Bee), and the ever amazing GHOST ICE. 

This one-off improvised collaboration between Grace Smith (Janet) and David Bell (Jaded Evil Lambs) was recorded at Plush STL (RIP) on 11/24/  It was an interesting evening to say the least.

Here's the bonus digital content for the Undercurrent #8 cassette, at long last!  This one got put off because  well, we had a lot going on just then.  But it's here now and it is totally bitchin'!

A bit behind schedule (no surprise to regular listeners to the podcast), but worth the wait (natch).  Last Thursday was the last Undercurrent show of the series to be recorded, and the release party from last month's tape (released in conjunction with Close/Far), featuring John Tamm-Buckle, Kevin Harris, NNN Cook, and Britches.  Charles Evans also delivered an acidic spoken dissertation/dissection of various subjects and sources, which was not used on the tape for reasons.  Accordingly, this digital Side C is all for him.  Full-on rethinged hoo-ha deluxe edition- AKA Charles Evans Vs. Jaded Evil Lambs.

We're nearing the end of our grand experiment, tonight marks Undercurrent #11 at the Schlafly Tap Room. Here is the best of the leftovers from last month's show that didn't make it onto the tape (which may just be the best tape of the series thus far), arranged in provocative manner with significant liberties taken.  

Way back in April, our monthly gig at the Tap Room commenced with a thoughtful set by Undercurrent honcho and prominent local skinsman Joe Hess and his string-oriented compatriot Alex Cunningham, which was in turns both sparse and layered; both meditative and ominously foreboding.  Grade A trippy shit, MAAAAAN. The set didn't make it onto the tape or the digital Side C in our feed for a few reasons, mainly because it was not part of the scheduled lineup, but an impromptu thing to fill a last minute cancellation, and was not recorded through Charlie Nehr's nice recording rig like the other sets.  David Bell did, however, catch it on his thingus- er, ahem- on his RECORDER, rather.  There are only two more Undercurrent shows left (this month's installment featuring Kevin Harris, John Tamm-Buckle, NNNathan Cook, Charles Evans, and Britches is in a scant two days!), so we're rolling out this and a few other choice morsels we've been sitting on, as we intend to go out with a bang!  Still plenty of surprises left, so make sure you're there to witness them!

Sacramento based comedian and friend of the show Keith Lowell Jensen (see PP episode 22), has a new cd & dvd "Atheist Christmas", available November 25th on Stand Up! Records.  Here's the first track as a sneak peek, to preorder "Atheist Christmas" or to check out any of his older offerings, go to rushbrookrathbone.co.uk

Here's the bonus online content for the free cassette tape being released at tonight's Undercurrent show at the Schlafly Tap Room, consisting of material recorded at last month's Undercurrent show at the Schlafly Tap Room. We've got that part down now, right?

Everyone's favorite stuffed dog/human slave noise duo, Kingston Family Singers, once again let loose their proprietary blend of improvisational audio-visual brainwave control at Lemp for the last stop of their summer tour with Peter J. Woods.  Dingus was on hand to document the occasion and harness your brain by proxy on their behalf.  If you just can't get enough of this schtuff, head on over to rushbrookrathbone.co.uk and download away, or come on out to the Schlafly Tap Room next Thursday (9/25) and witness KFS in person, as they lay down their slab of sound at the next installment of Undercurrent.

So, you may have missed it with all the commotion the last couple of weeks, but our very good friend Brad Schumacher aka Night Grinder, recently relocated to Denver from St. Louis, has released a smoking hot new album entitled "Immediate Content".  It's noise, it's techno, it's fusion, it's uncategorizable, and most of all it's GROOVY AS FUCK.  You can purchase a digital copy (in your choice of file format) for $8 at rushbrookrathbone.co.uk however, if you like vinyl, spend at least $12 on it and Brad will send you a copy of the LP when it's done in a month or two (offer good for pre-orders only, it'll be $15 once the record is out, so act now).  He's graciously given us the entirety of Side B of the LP for your previewing pleasure.  Enjoy:

Aaaaaaaand here's the bonus digital "side c" to accompany the free mixtape being released tonight at Undercurrent, featuring the best of the recordings that were left off of the tape from last month's show.  The tracklist is as follows:

curated by dingus and chad.  specimens: jaded evil lambs, rusty, falsetto boy, lillybean, community awareness alert, the fair use house band, emily hickner, mad at dad, wesley von drunkenstein, and other.
