Peepholes does some jagged, tribal spazz synth punk and I did a remix of one track for the B-side of their 12", where I kind of slowed it down, trying to space it out and disco it up a bit, while still keeping it pretty rock.

For the occasion, Bobby Birdman assembled a band of his favorite Portland players to jam under the hot lights of the cable-access studio: Adam Forkner of White Rainbow (seen in the video exhibiting his unparalleled dance style), E*Rock of Audio Dregs/Fryk Beat, and his fellow YACHT and the Straight Gaze bandmates Jona Bechtolt, Claire L. Evans, Jeff Brodsky (Jeffrey Jerusalem) and D. Reuben Snyder (Rob Walmart). By sheer coincidence, they chose to play the song "You'd Be Surprised," from Bobby Birdman's new album, New Moods. The result was such visual dynamite that the video is now being widely released for those people who no longer own televisions. The You'd Be Surprised Hour has long been a hit with audiences in the Pacific Northwest and beyond, and has featured performances from locally-grown, internationally recognized acts like grammy-nominated Nu Shooz, The Wipers, Heatmiser, Dead Moon and The Kingsmen. Bobby Birdman joins YACHT and the Straight Gaze on the New Mystery Moods tour of North America this month. New Moods is out now on Fryk Beat records and will change your world.]]> http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/02/youd_be_surprised_video.html http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/02/youd_be_surprised_video.html Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:54:43 -0800 Copy on XLR8R TV: PDX ]]> http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/02/copy_on_xlr8r_tv_pdx.html http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/02/copy_on_xlr8r_tv_pdx.html Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:40:52 -0800 Supernature #25_Poster Poster_25.jpg]]> http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/01/supernature_25_poster.html http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/01/supernature_25_poster.html Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:05:46 -0800 New Mystery Moods Tour! new mystery moods tour2010.jpg NEW MYSTERY MOODS TOUR Yacht & Bobby Birdman: US Tour 2010! 02-17 Portland, OR - Holocene 02-19 Vancouver, British Columbia - The Biltmore Cabaret 02-20 Victoria, British Columbia - Sugar Nightclub 02-22 Edmonton, Alberta - Pawn Shop 02-23 Calgary, Alberta - The Hi-Fi Club 02-24 Saskatoon, Saskatchewan - Scratch Nightclub 02-25 Winnipeg, Manitoba - Pyramid Cabaret 02-26 Northfield, MN - The Cave at Carleton College ^ 02-27 Chicago, IL - The Empty Bottle ^ 02-28 Gambier, OH - The Horn Gallery ^ 03-02 Pontiac, MI - The Pike Room at Crofoot Ballroom ^ 03-03 Hamilton, Ontario - The Casbah ^ 03-04 Toronto, Ontario - Wrongbar ^ 03-05 Ottawa, Ontario - Ritual ^ 03-06 Montreal, Quebec - Le Belmont ^ 03-07 Buffalo, NY - Big Orbit Soundlab ^ 03-11 New York, NY - Bowery Ballroom ^ 03-12 Philadelphia, PA - Voyeur-Making Time 03-13 Monterrey, Mexico - Festival Nrmal Alianza Francesa 03-15 Washington, DC - Rock and Roll Hotel 03-16 Atlanta, GA - The Drunken Unicorn 03-17-21 Austin, TX - SXSW TBA 03-25 San Diego, CA - Museum of Contemporary Art 03-26 Los Angeles, CA - Echoplex ! ^ with MNDR ! with Washed Out, Small Black, Pictureplane]]> http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/01/new_mystery_moods_tour.html http://www.urbanhonking.com/lightandsound/2010/01/new_mystery_moods_tour.html Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:28:01 -0800 Gone, Gone, Gone Beyond_fansite gonegonegone.gif Its the official Bobby Birdman fansite that collects al the unofficial fan vids for the song "Gone Beyond"!
