WIERD Presents a Very Rare Evening with BLUSH RESPONSE AND HEAD TRIP CONCEPTION!
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
This week Wierd plays host to a demonstration that the Minimal Electronic gods are awash with the return of the repressed - it was only a matter of time before the floodgates of restraint necessary to maintain the body of the classic, fragile minimal synth sound started eroding as the digitalized 'masculine' voice comes back with a Very Rare vengeance. And this week the spirit of Electronic Body Music will indeed take the WIERD stage as we welcome Blush Response and Head Trip Conception for a double bill live performance! Very important please take note ***TONITE'S SHOW WILL BEGIN PROMPTLY AT 11PM*** So for all you Head Hunters and Rivet-Heads-in-denial, tonite we're gonna party like its 1989!...

The amazing Joe Daniels from the Angular/Domino label in London just sent over the link to this great new site he has begun to prepare everyone for the epic historical compilation release 'WIERD Presents: Cold Waves and Minimal Electronics'(2 x LP gatefold/CD, Angular Records 2010) chronicling the long lost history of cold wave and minimal electronic music the world over he and I have been organizing for much of the past nearly 18 months now. I'm not at liberty to disclose the final 19 song tracklist yet, but a tentative release date of late February next year has been set for this one and we will indeed be holding official release parties in Paris, Berlin, London, and New York for this monster of a collection featuring an endless all-star cast from the secret history of the cold wave world, past and VResent.

Also an early warning to all our 'Art-Worldly' supporters - the next excellent 'WIERD Presents:' event will be at ART BASEL MIAMI BEACH on Thursday evening December 4th at the Living Room in downtown South Beach. As we have done in many WIERD year's past, this particular party will see the ghostly return of an incredible cast of artists and DJs very we may perhaps tentatively once again call 'Wierd Presents: THE PLEASURES OF XANTEN AND VRIENDS' - featuring live performances from the likes of Xeno & Oaklander, Martial Canterel, Epee du Bois, Staccato du Mal, Opus Finis, The Siamese Pearl, and Flesh Graey Display...in numerous maximal electronic formations. More info on this lovely event next week, just for old times sake I'll leave you with this great video from one of the many 'Pleasures of Xanten' performances of years past at WIERD LIVE #4...certainly a chillingly icy night to remember:
