PDXers In Fine Form

We did it up in style thanks to Portland renegades:

Deems – http://soundcloud.com/deemsb
Renfield – http://soundcloud.com/renfield-pdx
Toiletooth – http://www.toiletooth.com/
CityMouth – http://soundcloud.com/citymouth
AutomaticThoughts – http://automaticthoughtsmusic.com/

Here’s some glimpses of the magic wielded that night:

First off, a video of Noah (aka 'Talks') aka 'Automatic Thoughts' bringing the house down and raising the roof all at the same time!

Renfield knows how to tickle the ivories(even when they’re made of some sort of plastic polymer! :) :

And here he is, with focused concentration, intent on blowing your mind:

Gettin the audience hyped:

And then there was Toiletooth:

Toiletooth, and a mysterious seer of digital vision who goes by the name “Mark”, gave us a brilliant audio/visual spectacle:

Both of them, carrying immense artistic prowess in their own right, coming together to melt faces:

And here you can see our good friend and fellow renegade artist, Bob Phillips, also known as ‘Rawore’, capturing the sorcery of Toiletooth and Mark. He always knows where the action is ;D :

Next up, we had Citymouth:

Twisting audio subversiveness into your fragile reality, Citymouth kills it with no remorse:

This is not a camera effect, Citymouth is literally emerging from many different dimensions all at once to pounce upon his prey:

Deems took the stage next:

Deems came fully prepared with a bottle of water, not because he gets thirsty, but because every time he plays, folks get too hot and bothered by the killer sound, and sometimes he needs to douse them before they pass out from the sheer awesomeness:

Deems has also been known to set cities ablaze with his music, as you can see here in the background:

And finally, Noah, as you saw in the video, rode out into the middle of the battlefield to taunt our enemies with a resounding chant of “DEATH! DEATH! To the non-bass loving infidels!” before slaying their souls for all of eternity….. ok, ok, at this point i’m going too far with the ‘killing-it’ analogy…. point is, Noah killed it…. once again:

Flying ace:

He put the smack down on that extra-sized button pad cuz he don’t take no smack from no monome:

Oh, and a bit out of order, here’s just a quick shot of me, thinking of the children, because amidst all this ‘killing it’, someone had to think of the children:

And just as a little extra, here’s a beautiful photo taken by Noah, showing Ella St. with its classic style serving as the perfect backdrop for Renegade Lights. Such a great venue to play at. Portland has a rare gem there:

Thank You Portland for an astoundingly energetic, hardcore-fun, and unforgettable show!

Renegade Lights – Chicago Edition

Renegade San Francisco artists are heading to Chicago. On May 20, 2011 we’ll be extending our Left Coast massive all the way to Chi-Town’s midwestern arena. Artists from both locations are joining forces to levitate the entire building occupied by Transamoeba Studios.

If you roll the Facebook way, here’s the party.

Sound will be scientifically enhanced by Catalyst Sound, drinks will be thrown in your face by Whiskey Alliance, and food for you to drool over will be created by Edible Alchemy.


Pirates and Renegades

The second Renegade Lights show was smoking hot. Held at Il Pirata in San Francisco, the night was lit from open to close. Every performance on the evening’s roster came on at full tilt, the place was packed for the entire evening and the crowd was rowdy and appreciative. Thanks so much to everyone. We love you!

Light Up The Sky!

The first Renegade Lights event in San Francisco was a fantastic success, an amazing pocket universe of audible and visual delight. We were the Northern California stop of the Monome Community Tour, and fantastic sets were played by all – Schplingidy, Dolza, Raja, Visinin, Wolf Interval, Nonagon and Edison each brought the noise in their own renegade ways. Working with the music, visuals created by Mattbot, Mediapathic and Cstng-Shdws turned San Francisco’s Space Gallery into a dimension-hopping ship on a voyage to the next reality over.

Below, Raja The Resident Alien, pushing light speed -

The second Renegade Lights will arrive in early March. More details soon.
