MISTY ROSES “Taking their name from a Tim Hardin song, Misty Roses combine pop melodrama with electronic texture in a manner rarely heard since The Associates. Robert Conroy’s vocals are a dead ringer for the late Billy Mackenzie, yet the melodies they trace frequently evoke Scott Walker’s classic late 60’s albums…. Much of the music on Villainess — [their new album, currently available] — is disturbingly intense…lending considerable substance to Conroy’s theatrical meditations on beauty, obsession and loss.” ~ The Wire

Lapis Lazuli is a solo instrumental project written, produced, and performed by Kurt Wolf on laptop, guitar, and analog synth. Kurt Wolf is known for his contributions to downtown noise rock acts, Pussy Galore, Boss Hog, Loudspeaker, Emma Peel, Foetus Inc. Kurt Wolf was given the name by his good friends Antony and the Johnsons, hence the brand.

Lapis Lazuli music exists in kind of a parallel universe were soundtrack composers dominate the later part of the 20th century musical landscape. A warped vision of what music from the era may have sounded like minus the utopian hippy hegemony of the late sixties and early seventies.

OSCARS - SMOSCARS!!!

Is all the Academy Awards hoopla getting up around your chin?

Do you really care what Joan Rivers thinks of Tilda Swinton’s gown?

(Someone should ask Tilda what she thinks of Joan’s polyethylene face!)

Come on - admit it - you really don’t give a damn!!!

Except for the special Oscars for Lauren Bacall and Roger Corman - it will be either a yawn-fest or a train wreck.

(And let’s face it, Almodovar’s “Broken Embraces” was the best film of 2009 - and it didn’t get nominated for jack!)

So why not step away for all these sad, celebrity skins, and listen to some truly glamorous music?

Why not indulge in some glamorous sounds about about some real stars - like Gloria Grahame, Kenneth Anger, Jack Smith, Dario Argento and Mario Bava?

Misty Roses will be featured live in performance on East Village Radio’s Just Music program, March 7, 10 p.m. to midnight.

Our set should commence around 11 p.m.

(Just click Rob and/or Snow White for more details, a link to the station, etc.)

And if you HAVE to watch the Oscars, the show will be immediately archived and available for your entertainment at your convenience.

Cheers, and we would like to thank Jesus for this award, etc. ….

MISTY ROSES: Misty Roses is an exploration of the black shadows that fall across pop music’s middle of the road.
A transatlantic combo based in London and New York City, their sound is darkly glamorous and melodramatic, turbulent and opulent.
Their recently released LP, Villainess, “dwells in the space between dream and reality” - and features guest appearances by Little Annie, Isabelle Antena, Soundpool’s Kim Field and Rebecca Chamberlain of Maxi Geil and PlayColt!.
Think bachelor pad music for an flat owned by David Lynch, Mario Bava and/or Dario Argento.

“Misty Roses combine pop melodrama with electronic texture in a manner rarely heard since The Associates. … Disturbingly intense….” - The Wire

“An admirably skew-wiff talent” - Q Magazine, 3 stars

“Beautifully brave and full of magic” - Patrick Wolf

SUGARLIFE: Sugarlife is a performance/music artist living in New York City.

In speaking in third person about himself he says;

“It’s like watching a cheap live daytime soap where the main female character unravels on stage. There is usually some sort of molting which follows…. Imagine if the United States became a third world country and people had to resort to living room theater or decrepit mall theater for entertainment …I’m trying to make manifest the subconscious imagery that inhabits the world of dreams and film.”

Sugarlife explores notions of performance art, identity, and sexuality with an entertaining and often absurd live performance interaction. It tends to be hilarious as well as scary. Whether charging the air with electronic blips or singing a celestial soprano over acoustic guitar blossoms, Sugarlife becomes a sonic shaman where change is the only constant.

Neo-Fluxus freak out?

Absurdist action art?

The ghost of a soft G.G. Allin as a drag queen from a distant planet?

Sugarlife transcends any movement classification.
