Joshua Light Show Record by Devin Flynn Available Now!
" For the music, I gave Devin four of the vaguest themes. I said make four soundtracks, and told him we’d put them at separate ends of the space and we’ll play them simultaneously."
These were the instructions given to Devin Flynn for his creation of this masterful soundtrack to the Joshua Light Show Exhibition at the Detroit Institute of Arts in 2010. For those unfamiliar with the Joshua light show check this out:
Joshua White and his team were the house light show at the Philmore East in New York City. They invented the 60's light show and made their spectral art behind every great band of the era. This record comes with original screen printed art by Gary Panter and a 4 page foldout full color insert with interviews with Joshua White and Gary Panter (comic book artist, musician, light sculptor).
The music is total psych madness from Devin Flynn of Devin, Gary, and Ross fame whose Honeycomb of Chakras made serious waves last year for all "heads" with ears. We're seriously honored to be putting this record out and we hope that you'll dig it too. Check out an interview reprinted from the Huffington Post with Gary Panter and Joshua White Below.

Happy Sounding Jams
Our hearts are going out to our friends and everyone who's suffering in our old hometown, New York.
Here's a couple of happy sounding tunes we've been digging lately. Wanted to include Michael Chapman's "sleeping in my clothes again" but I couldn't find it.

Markers Play Brooklyn Roulette on Sunday with Guitar Roberts
The Magik Markers will appear in full symphonic glory Sunday (July 15) night. Rumors have it they'll be adding a grand piano to their usual arsenal of guitars, drums, synths, tapes and everything. They've been touring recently on a shady unnamed cassette release. Will their next record ever reach the light of day? It remains to be seen. They're guaranteed to be unleashing tunes from future vinyls at Roulette on Sunday along with all kinds of other ethereal and blistering bliss. Altho currently based, like squirrels in the attic, out of Massachusetts... the Markers have been making a platform out of a series of gigs in Brooklyn. When asked what their plans were for 2012, the Markers, like a giant suddenly roused from a deep revery were heard to retort with surprise "2012!? What we do is secret!"
Catch them in Brooklyn Sunday with the Chicago Underground duo and legendary ghost of blues act Haunted House (fronted by Guitar Roberts aka Loren Mazzacane Connors) as part of the Northern Spy festival. Here are the venue deets for the gig... it's an early show so don't be late!!
