Shelby Cinca from Frodus did a remix of Black Bubblegum as Triobelisk (a while back, I believe). You can grab the MP3 here. There’s a strong possibility that this, along with The Cassette’s cover of 43% Burnt will end up on the forthcoming remix EP.

For more info on the remix, go to Discobelle.

Greg Puciato has remixed a track by Prong, which is being featured in an upcoming remix compilation of their’s called Power of The Damn MiXXXer. Here are the full details from their MySpace page:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

March 10, 2009 (LOS ANGELES) – 13th Planet Records readies Power of The Damn MiXXXer remix compilation in follow-up to the 2007 Prong release Power of The Damager. The release date is slated for May 12, 2009. Prong will support the release with European festival and club tour dates through the summer, beginning May through June 2009.

Additionally, week of street date, Prong is set to perform at Tucson’s Suicidal Metalfest May 9th, the festival to be hosted by 13th Planet Records chief henchman, Ministry’s Al Jourgensen. The following evening, May 10th, Prong headlines a local Tucson club show before packing up and heading to Europe for a 25-city tour.

From the beginning Prong’s front man Tommy Victor has penned traditional rock song-structures merged with simple steel bar riffs, atonalism, art-rock atmospheres, all culminating in a crushing sound – songs curiously pleasing to the ears while they liquefy the listener’s brain.

Every time Prong has been ignored by the mainstream whilst being revered by the underground, or worse still ripped off by lesser, spineless musicians without a creative pot of their own to piss in, Victor would allow a little more grudge, a little more sludge, a little more mudge and a fair few vials of distilled, frustrated, blood-and-bile infused anger to seep into the mix.

Dissonant, dark, dirty and at times rather deranged, Tommy Victor always did swing his D’s low, hard and squarely at your skull. Power of The Damager is an angry record. It’s a real record.

Its remixed counterpart Power of The Damn MiXXXer equally conjures the same dissonant, dark, dirty, and deranged emotions and brings them to a boil. This isn’t some half-baked feel good remix record aimed at dance floor DJ’s. It’s always better to get the scoop straight from the man himself and Tommy V. offers up the following, “We are really excited about this remix compilation of ‘Power of The Damager’ material. We feel the LP was overlooked and in some cases ignored. But the added elements provided by the great remixers, producers, and deejays infused with all the tracks make Power of The Damn MiXXXer’ an interesting yet enjoyable listening experience.”

‘Power of The Damn MiXXXer’ Track Listing:

1. Worst of It (Worst of The Worst Mix) – Remixed by Jon Clayden of Pitchshifter
2. Can’t Stop The Bleeding (SMack! Mix) – Remixed by Xris FLAM
3. The Banishment (Wolfzilla & The Angry Moon Mix) – Remixed by Rob Caggiano of Anthrax
4. Power of The Damager (Fabrication Mix) – Remixed by Brian Harrah & Roman Marisak of Professional Murder Music
5. 3rd Option (Naked In The Cadillac Mix) – Remixed by Kourtney Klien
6. Pure Ether – (Big Riddim Mix) Remixed by AK1200 & GENR8
7. Message Inside of Me (Chicxulub Impactor Mix) – Remixed by Seismologist
8. No Justice (Crackmix) – Remixed by DJ? Acucrack
9. Looking For Them (Contagious Mix) – Remixed by Virus of Dope
10. Spirit Guide (Reality’s Edge Mix) – Remixed by John Bechdel of False Icons
11. Changing Ending Troubling Times (Abandoned Structures Mix) – Remixed by Ampedelic
12. The Banishment (Bitter Harvest Mix) – Remixed by Clayton Worbeck of Revolting Cocks
13. Bad Fall (Smile on Your Face Mix) – Remixed by Greg Puciato of Dillinger Escape Plan

Selected remixer comments:
“I was psyched that I had the opportunity to do a remix for Prong. It was pretty intense, and an honor, to have worked on this pioneering band’s music, especially knowing the influence it has had on Dope, and many others.” –Virus, Dope

“Prong has always been one of those bands that no matter what album or song you hear, you always know it’s them. They have their own identity because of it. There’s integrity and respect for a band like that in a music world that tends to be filled with fakes.” -Brian Harrah, Professional Murder Music

New Blog Post: Info on US Shows, Lil Wayne, Bass Lessons and Aus Sideshows

Taken from MySpace:

So we are about to play our first shows in the past 6 months. Boy are we getting fat and lazy. Time to start being kick ass and riggady again (made that word up I think). Do we even remember how to be kick ass and riggady? I guess you will have to come to these little shows and find out.

Feb 5th – Philly – The Barbary(SOLD OUT, MOTHERLICKERS)
Feb 6th – Baltimore – The Ottobar – GET TICKETS HERE
Feb 7th – NYC – The Studio at Webster Hall - GET TICKETS HERE

Feb 8th – NJ – Soon to be Announced Basement show (man i feel bad for this basement)

We would like to officially thank all of you who have taken the time to call our new drummer Billy the Nip and haze his ass. Especially the guy who thought it was a good idea to text him the word “faggot” 5001 times. Ok he gets the point! Most of you had really cool things to say to him though which was very precious. I can’t say I would have been as nice but cool of you none the less.

Time to talk a little bit about the opening bands for these shows. We’re extra excited for you to check these guys out. Ben Weinman rarely gives guitar lessons (probably because most kids don’t want to be taught how to break a guitar into about 100 pieces before you even play 2 notes and then get kicked out of his house) but has taken on like 3 students in his day. Oddly enough, all three of these students ended up having serious degrees of awesomeness in one way or another and will be performing as part of these shows.

The first being Kevin Backroom’s Knife the Glitter. Not only are these guys probably one of the only bands doing the instrumental techy prog thing that is actually tolerable, but they are really fucking good. Think King Crimson, Cynic, and Dillinger having a sword fight on top of  Mount Olympus. Ok that sounded really lame but they rule. Check em http://www.myspace.com/knifetheglitter

Next up is our boy Kevin H. Esq and his band Caverns. Yes you heard it right. Just like all your moms but holes, Caverns is raw and cavernous. And yes Kevin is a real lawyer yet somehow chooses to play in a noise rock instrumental band. We are really glad he does though cause these guys rip. Only instead of some dork shredding arpeggios and finger tapping on an “axe”, these guys have a lead piano player. And I’m not talking about one of those horrible keyboard players that get on stage with one of the 1000 horrible myspace bands and jump around like an idiot holding their figures down on one note either. I’m talking Ray Manzarek from the doors style rocking. Bass lines and all! I guess some where down the line Ben thought it was a good idea to trade guitar lessons for legal services and ever since they roll around town like Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro in Fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Check em http://www.myspace.com/caverns

.. ..

The last student of Ben’s is Asian Steve who will be performing in an entirely different way. It’s more like life art. Some kind of Peter and the Wolf shit where music just follows him around in the form of a Gong or some Chinese flutes. Expect to see him running around stage like a mad man as everything breaks. What would we do without him? Oh and he can play every song on guitar ever known to man so feel free to challenge him to a guitar cover dual if you dare.

.. ..

Also we will have special guest Dub Trio in Philly and ..Baltimore.. and East of the Wall in ….Baltimore….. You can check out both these bands at:….

From MySpace:

Hey boys and girls, I will be performing a solo set with special guest Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Secret Chiefs 3, Fantômas, Trevor Dunn’s Trio-Convulsant). The location is John Zorn’s club, The Stone (located in NYC at the corner of Avenue C and 2nd Street) at 10:00PM on the 13th of August. Tickets are available on the night for $10 unless otherwise noted, students 13 to 19 are admitted half price, and children under 12 free. Not sure what I will be doing exactly but it will probably include a good degree of improve as well as some electronics and other hew has. Other guest players to be announced soon. Should be a great time so come out and hang with me.

In other news I am working on a bunch of remixes which im pretty excited about. I’ll fill you guys in more on them very soon. In the meantime come out and see Dillinger on tour now with Cavalera Conspiracy until Aug 6.

Ben Weinman Remixes Thrice

Written by Adrian Clement. Posted on March 16, 2008. Filed under Ben Weinman, Remix. No comments.

This is a bit late, but I thought it was worth mentioning, anyway: Ben Weinman has remixed the song “Digital Sea” by Thrice, which appears on the single “Come All You Weary”, released on the 4th of March. Riley Breckenridge, the drummer for Thrice, has stated on Absolute Punk that:

“As far as the remix goes, we’ve all been fans of Dillinger Escape Plan for years, and I’ve kept in touch with Ben Weinman since we did a show with them in London in 2004. Once I found out he was working on remixes, I really wanted to see what he could do with some of our stuff, so when the band discussed the idea of doing a remix, he was the first person I hit up. Luckily, he agreed to give it a shot, and I’m glad he did. I’m really happy with how it came out, and honored to have had a musician I have great respect for, create his take on one of our songs.”

I haven’t heard this myself, but I’ll try to get around to doing so in the next couple of days.
