Free School Podcast #6

Andy leaves Steve to record the intro alone. He does bad things and threatens to play Genesis. Then everything works out fine when he reveals the hilarious joke…..

….That’s because it’s a special mix version of the podcast. Hope you enjoy and at least you don’t have to listen to us!

New Noise

Hello there.

We’re playing a show on Saturday night at the Hare & Hounds Kings Heath. Here’s all the details you will need: Victories At Sea / Free School / Patterns. Victories At Sea are ace. Patterns are coming down from Manchester. Check out the video below. I love it. Sounds like earlier Animal Collective mixed with a bit of older Animal Collective. Which is pretty impressive.

Here’s Victories At Sea playing at Off The Cuff festival a few weeks back:

ThisIsTmrw are DJing in between the live stuff. Don’t get much better like….

Tomorrow Never Comes (it did yesterday)

We’re totally stoked to be asked to become resident DJs at the ThisIsTmrw monthly club nights. Taking place at The Bull’s Head in Moseley, expect to hear some of the following:

FLOATING POINTS // NICOLAS JAAR // HORSE MEAT DISCO // JULIO BASHMORE // STAR SLINGER // WASHED OUT // TORO Y MOI // TALKING HEADS // METRONOMY // MATTHEW DEAR // JAMIE XX // XXXY // ACTRESS // LCD SOUNDSYSTEM // HOLY GHOST // GOLD PANDA // JACQUES GREENE // PEARSON SOUND // TENSNAKE // MIDLAND // KERRI CHANDLER // MOTOR CITY DRUM ENSEMBLE // SOFRITO // TODD TERJE

Here are the Facebook event details.

ThisIsTmrw have been at the forefront of FUTURE music in the city for many years now (I remember Lewes Herriot’s posters in The Victoria over 5 years ago and wondering who on earth these promoters were, where they’d come from and who the hell they were going to put on next). Here’s a mix we did for them a while back: http://www.thisistmrw.co.uk/2011/05/27/thisistmrw-mix-12-free-school/

This could get aired:

This probably won’t get a play but I likes dis a lot:

Games (That We Can Play)

I saw Oneohtrix Point Never at ATP the other week. Mesmerising. Met Daniel (Lapatin) before the show and he was a lovely man too. Very chilled.

Daniel has another project called Games which is superb too, whereby he works with Joel Ford of Tigercity. I’ll be playing Shadows In Bloom at our DJ sets this weekend. Speaking of which, here are the details:

Friday 27th May – The Victoria, Birmingham. Launch of the Out of Bounds label, appearing alongside Discomendments

Saturday 28th May – Bull’s Head, Birmingham. Thisistmrw show, launching Mark E‘s new album Stone Breaker. Getting great press at the moment. Album of the week at Picadilly Records.

Four Tet improv set on KEXP radio. Lovely, lovely stuff
