This summer, during the month of July the S.P.A.Z. soundsystem, 3 recyled vegetable powered buses, and a killer all-star krew will be travelling through Oregon, Northern California, and Washington. The tour is currently scheduled to end at a free festival of an undecided location called the Autonomous Mutant Festival which will be happening August 8-16. This year marks the 10th aniversary of the AMF! http://www.mutantfest.org S.P.A.Z. (http://spaz.org) itself has a large, loosely affiliated membership spanning a decade. Many artists have contributed to the collective in way or another over the years, including Liquid Acrobat, Terbo Ted, Jack Acid, Aneurysm, Madame Chao and more. THE MOLE (hip hop/psych-hop) Nomadic composer/vocalist and Motion Recordings founder, The Mole, makes what he calls "whirled fusion" music or "psychedelic hip hop." Notorious not only for his daring musical recordings (such as his critically acclaimed interactive "choose your own adventure" album), he is a sight to behold in a live setting. When The Mole performs he is a colorful blur of absurd costumes, ridiculous dance moves and energy-pumped vocal delivery! The Mole has released over 20 albums, on labels including Motion Recordings (USA), Anti-Party Music (Finland), Ramadan/Zhark (Germany), and Hectic Recs (Netherlands). He has opened for such notable artists as DJ Krush, Ramm-Ell-Zee, Living Legends, Venetian Snares, Drop The Lime, Food For Animals, The Chicharones, and more. BONUS! Tang Li Wheebs (of Snail On A Stick Records) will be providing super-cool vocal effects and samples for The Mole's performances! MC SUBZERO PERMAFROST (hip hop/alternative) She looks so cute and innocent, but... SHE'S NOT! With her nasty wit, this little rapping/singing girl has no problem immediately getting the crowd into the palm of her hand. From ultra-speedy, tongue- twisting sex raps to soulful Portugese crooning, this New Orleans disaster survivor has something for everyone. Aside from her job as the Infernal Noise Brigade front-woman, in 2006 MC Subzero appeared on Filastine's hugely succesful album, Burn It, released by Soot Records, and she has performed live countless times. For the Mutate Or Die tour, Subzero's live performance will feature banging musical accompaniment by The Mole! Spukkin Faceship (electro/alternative) Spukkin Faceship is one of those "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" electronic acts. There are no publicity photos. Part of a global community sometimes referred to as the "Teknival" scene, this act, closely affiliated with the S.P.A.Z. collective, has been playing live at underground free parties worldwide in various configurations for over a decade. Strong idealism percolates under the free-flowing improvised electro beats; if you're hanging out with Spukkin Faceship you're in for a serious discussion about geo-politics, bio-diesel, vegan food, sound system repair, electronic music making, or the nature of party throwing. the 486 kid! (electrofolk / 8-bit peoples) 486 is music made with trashed, unwanted, obsolete computers, consumer home electronics, and electronic childrens toys. All sounds are either pure sound waves generated from hardware sound chips or sampled through mid-90's sound blaster sound cards @ 8-bit 22.5khz and arranged in a tracker on a DOS, ATARI, AMIGA or GAMEBOY platform. Often coined as "Chip-Tune" or "VGM" this music aims to break out of those "cheese" styles and capture listner Spukkin Faceship (electro/alternative) Spukkin Faceship is one of those "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" electronic acts. There are no publicity photos. Part of a global community sometimes referred to as the "Teknival" scene, this act, closely affiliated with the S.P.A.Z. cs on a deeper level of getting down. syncopated, modulated, lo-fi nasty dance! BONUS! guest tag-team with Waxin' Wary (vVv / lung bias) and interpretive dance from bit-bounce! ShellShock! (experimental MC/electronica) ShellShock!s music brings you sounds of eclectic beats, arpeggiated synths left to walk on their planets unescorted, while her vocals clue you in to the process of right brain production during left brain expression. She will rap for you as a sassy, trashy, classy MC and slither through your psyche like a bejeweled snake, leaving scales of gold and glitter inside you as she creates more. If the energy is right, she will freestyle for you and unite everyone in the experience. ShellShock! is an electro- hip-hop-cyber-flapper who creates flat-foot brazilian beats that jump on a wet treadmill that crashes into your space helipad and blasts off. And then she will make sweet love to you. ----/ Venue Info /------------------------------------------------------ Underground SF (formally the Top) 424 Haight Street San Francisco http://www.undergroundsf.com ----/ Additional Info /------------------------------------------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415.
