THESE ARE POWERS
http://www.myspace.com/thesearepowers
"World Class People’s fierce stomp and power horns getting down like it was 1992 etch a crypto-constellation of neon voodoo signs in the back of your skull, glowing graffiti containing the address of a post-apocalyptic Baltimore Basement party you can’t possibly miss. It is the primitive tech soundtrack for an alluring video game sitting in the darkness corner of the arcade, retrofuturistic exoskeleton decorated with the airbrushed portrait of a tribal garage diva whose arms are diamond-eyed constrictor boas lashing into the night sky. Think Tina Turner standing at the apex of an Aztec Pyramid, summoning the powers of party with a hallucinated bout of Satanic vogueing." --20 Jazz Funk Greats
Don't fear the future. These are Powers have come to conjure the new musical golden age you've been waiting for--one of insistence, intensity, and light. And yes, you can dance to it. These Are Powers is an experimental music group from Brooklyn, New York and Chicago, Illinois. The band mixes polyrhythm with samples and other electronic sounds and noise rock. n0 things, ex-LIARS bass player, Pat Noecker formed These Are Powers with Anna Barie (vocals/guitar) (ex Knife Skills & Fxxxing Lion) and Ted McGrath (drums) in 2006. The latter was replaced by electroacustic drummer/percussionist Bill Salas. Ferocious and unhinged, when These Are Powers perform live, it is a kind of spiritual journey, a futuristic fire dance hailing from Chicago and Brooklyn. The bass smolders, topping its low-end sub-rumble with a high-end flutter; abstract beats emanate from the electro-acoustic stand-up drum kit. And piercing through is Anna Barie's guitar while she and Noecker call and respond. Barie blasts through a litany of expressive guitar sounds and full-throated yelps and howls with a confrontational, explosive energy that often finds her entangled with audience members, leaping through the air, or sprawled on the floor in front of the stage.

CAP PAS CAP
http://www.myspace.com/cappascap
"Edgy, daring and sparky, Dublin band Cap Pas Cap play a hugely alluring post-everything game. There has only been a handful of releases to date, but each one has seen them pulling new shapes from the bag. Their best moment to date was last year’s hypnotic and spacey We Are Men single on the Skinny Wolves label, a pointer to the new-wave-no-wave-what-wave terrain they’re calling their own. Cap Pas Cap’s debut album should be one of this year’s highlights." - Irish Times

THREADPULLS
http://www.myspace.com/threadpulls
Thread Pulls are an experimental two-piece with the drumbeat at their core. Thread Pulls became the first Irish band to be invited to play at the celebrated All Tomorrow's Parties festival. After releasing four EPs on 9-pt records as a three piece, they stripped down to the duo of Gavin Duffy and Peter Maybury, and spent the following two years developing their upbeat progressive sound which meshes trumpet, electronics and treated vocals with a no-wave inspired mix of repetitive bass and drums. Thread Pulls are now recording their début album.
Peter also makes electronic music as Hardsleeper and in Rainfear. Gavin plays occasionally with Karl Him and Electronic Sensoria Band.

THESE ARE POWERS
http://www.myspace.com/thesearepowers
These Are Powers (RVNG Intl./Dead Oceans) announce a three week European tour, including several notable summer festival dates. The Brooklyn-based trio of Anna Barie (vocals & electronics), Pat Noecker (bass, electronics, vocals), and Bill Salas (beats & production) do nothing to sugar coat the grimy center of a new, bass bin rattling, electro-shock sound.
POWERS is touring in support of their latest release, World Class Peoples/Candyman EP available on RVNG Intl. Three new songs inspired by futuristic dancehall, bombastic reggaeton, and Chicago juke that recall such darkly sexy electronic acts as The Knife and The Bug.
The EP also includes a runway house remix of "Candyman" by globe-trotters Teengirl Fantasy and a remix of "World Class Peoples" by Costa Rica's Cosmetics that is as much Burial as it is Scott Walker.
The artwork, by Kevin O'Neill at Will Work For Good, is inspired by the slimy sexual fetish known as sploshing. The sploshee featured on the cover will remain anonymous. First pressing limited to 1100 copies, all on thick red vinyl pressed at Brooklyn Phono.
