Like we did last year we want to maintain the Incu Thursday; Every week that we’ve got an announcement to make about Incubate 2012 we’re going to post it on Thursday, so that’s why it’s called like that.

After the first twelve names that we confirmed last week and because we’re in a happy baby-mood this week, we’ve got only one name for you today; Blood Beach. This band from Portland, USA are ‘droning out some psychedelic hip-swingers, like a haunting siren dragging you to the dark side that would leave every Jedi forceless‘.

quote:

EXPO ‘70 was formed in Los Angeles by Justin Wright. Initially, the group also included Wright’s friend, PK . The pair improvised creating sounds bouncing effect-ridden instruments creating a wide range of textures and moods. EXPO ‘70’s first recording and inception was during PK’s project SXBRS recording session, resulting in one of many split releases on PKs’ label. After playing two shows (with Parts & Labor and Tyondai Braxton respectively), they ventured back into the studio. “Live July 18, 2004” was recorded with the help of Bryan Levene /artist]), and recalls the spirit of the Taj Mahal Travellers improvisational drones.

quote:

Ancient Ocean sounds like a primal roar from the prehistorically deep blue. Melodic meditational tunes build on delicate drones elaborating on humming tones. The soundscapes from this one-man project are created with elements of acid-folk, minimalism and drone metal that develop into a fuzzy wall of sound. Live John Bahannon relies on his guitar, samples and an arsenal of stompboxes. The perfect soundtrack for zoning out, falling asleep or some inner excavation.

quote:

It wasn’t Will Oldham (Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy) who got the attention on his last record ‘Wolfroy Goes To Town’, but his protégé Angel Olsen. With her fragile, delicate voice she surprised many critics. ‘Strange Cacti’ is the name of her limited cassette (100 pieces) that she released last year and luckily enough it‘s now also available digitally and on vinyl. The cassette consists of six lo-fi songs guided only by her voice and her guitar and is about broken hearts and the search for her inner self.

quote:

It’s Incu Thursday again and we got 4 artist to add to our line-up, you can find the complete line-up on our artist page.

These are the following artist we can confirm; two-piece Ben Butler & Mousepad (photo), Hubble and Diamond Terrifier (both solo projects of ZS members) and the Serbian duo Mesta.

quote:

A full-on shredfest presented to you by Ben Greenberg, the fret-master known for gigging around in an armada of bands. Talking about his album cover he said: “If you frame anything right you can make it look like space.” Something he certainly succeeded. Live, endless repetitions with subtle variations are combined with an energetic performance giving it something spectral. The space telescope ‘Hubble’ broadens mankind's view, but this Hubble serves as a microscope that broadens your view on minimalism.

quote:

The man behind Ben Butler & Mousepad, Joe Howe, likes to do two things at shows. First of all “Engage the audience as much as possible” and second “Play the sh*t out of keyboards”. Howe, also responsible for acts as Gay Against You and Germlin, knows he’s mistreating his keyboards and synths, but luckily he’s still capable of making danceable funky tunes out of it. With a little help from a live drummer he is mixing ELO’s progmusic with the new Scandinavian Skweee-sound.

quote:

Diamond Terrifier, or <>T, is the English translation of Vajrabhairava, the Buddhist deity with 9 faces, 34 hands, and 16 legs. He has always been described as fear-inducing, scary, and intimidating and he has conquered all evil spirits, including the Lord of Death, Yama. Imagine him reincarnated in Sam Hillmer and armed with a saxophone, droning out strangled notes that resonate and vibrate so strongly leaving diamonds terrified to break.

quote:

Minimalistic, untroubled, folky soundscapes brought to you by the Serbian duo Borislav and Senka. They met in the local orthodox Christian choir, explaining the influences in their spiritually charged music to each-other. Another remarkable inspiration is the Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader, who was fascinated by gravity and falling. Expect a modest alternative folk interpretation of slowcore, where their voices and Serbian lyrics carefully melt together, creating a warm and melancholic atmosphere.

It’s Thursday again so we can finally confirm new artist for Incubate 2012. This time we got 6 artist to add to our line-up, you can find the complete line-up on our artist page.

These are the following artist we can confirm: Garage legends Reigning Sound (photo), one of the Espers frontwomen Meg Baird, the free-jazz duo Trevor Watts & Veryan Weston, avant-jazz from Sabir Mateen, ambient soundscapes by A-Sun Amissa and last but not least jazz pianist Kelvin Sholar.

quote:

Two of those pioneers who earned their stripes, influenced and developed the genre since the seventies. They already have been playing together off and on for over 20 years, while their individual careers taken them on different trajectories of the jazz scene. With a wide-range of styles, Watts and Weston perfectly counterbalance each other musical spirit. Weston’s piano as driver and Watts’ sax as navigator. Get a glimpse of what happens when two innovators with technical brilliance collide.

quote:

“No one is listening to you, or to me” is what Meg Baird sings on her last record ‘Seasons On Earth’. Well.. we can assure you; we have listened to her, a lot! Maybe you know Baird as one of the frontwomen from psychofolkgroup Espers or maybe you know her from her solo albums. Either way we can say that she impresses with her voice. Most likely not only us, because this singer based in Philadelphia worked also with artists like Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Sharon van Etten and Sharron Kraus.

quote:

As being one of those avant-jazz musicians active since the seventies, Sabir Mateen played with almost all icons of the genre in almost all possible formations. His main instrument is tenor saxophone, but as a multi-instrumental artist he handles himself on the alto sax, clarinet, percussions and flute also. Known for versatile live performances you never know what to expect, but a guaranteed quality trademark is certainly in order.

quote:

Mixing all kinds of jazz with electronic music, recording/performing with Carl Craig, Q-Tip and Stevie Wonder, it looks like Kelvin Sholar is a man of extremes. Raised by a musical family Sholar was already on stage when he was in utero. Nowadays is a well-educated classical pianist with a well-stocked cabinet full of jazz trophies. Maybe Kelvin Sholar’s name isn’t well-known to the general audience, but behind the scenes he’s a big name and that’s not for nothing.

quote:

A-Sun Amissa sounds like a Godspeed You! Black Emperor record that keeps skipping before the outbreak with the shit-your-pants intensity of dark ambient chief Lustmord. While you drift away on their intense ambient soundscapes to other realities, they will secretly cause the start of an apocalypse. Started as a two piece formed by Glissando members, they will collaborate as a five-piece at Incubate including band members that have worked with acts such as The Julie Mittens and Machinefabriek.

quote:

There are not many people in contemporary pop music who can turn everything they touch into gold. Greg Cartwright is such a person. Well… If you like thrashed gold. Starting out in the Compulsive Gamblers, he gained popularity as Greg Oblivian in the awe-inspiring fucked-up-blues/garagerockband The Oblivians. As frontman of Reigning Sound he explores the more poppy side of fuzzed-out garage, creating gems that can leave you with tears in your eyes, as well as make you dance with joy.

quote:

It’s Thursday again so we bring you the new artists confirmed for Incubate 2012. This time we’ve added five artists to our line-up and in case you haven’t noticed yet, our line-up page’s improved. As always, if you log in with your account on our site you can adjust the bio’s, compile your own timetable and collect credits for everything you contribute.

The following new artist are added to the line-up: 100% Silk figureheads Mi Ami (photo) + solo projects Sex Worker (Daniel Martin-McCormick) and Magic Touch (Damon Palermo). London-based noise band Maria & The Mirrors and Danish punk rascals De Høje Hæle. You can find the complete line-up on our artist page.

quote:

Nobody expected art punk band Mi Ami to make this kind a change after losing their bass player. The two remaining guys, Damon Palermo and Daniel Martin-McCormick, decided to put their guitar and drumkit aside and started to work with synths and drummachines. Dolphins, their first release as a duo, sounded as “a meltin, dystopian refraction of left-field new age, lush soundscapes and Italo daydreams”. However the new record, Decade, got a more four-on-the-floor kind of vibe with disco basslines.

quote:

Sex Worker is the side project of Mi Ami singer Daniel Martin-McCormick. Born from the desire to connect with the audience in an more intimate way, instead of being loud. Intimate, electronic soundscapes based on the concept of alienation and mournfulness. All framed in the context of personal suffering in a larger social context. Music that provided healing to its creator after an 3 year period of depression. Live the touching lyrics and vocals bring you into a comfortable and intimate space.

quote:

Magic Touch is the early-mid '90s house disguise of Damon Palermo, bandmate alongside Daniel "Ital" Martin-McCormick in Mi Ami. Palermo presents a brief interpretation of the last 3 decades of music blended in a ’90s house-sound. His good old fashioned synthesizers, infectious beats and wide variety of samples are the perfect subsurface for a sweaty night. Vain yourself back in your Levi’s 501, electric sliding at a rave party.

quote:

What can you expect from three kids from London making noise? Their performance consists of dueling drums and shrieking vocals by the two females of this collective. All tied together by a variety of electronic devices, banging out a wall of pummelling power electronics. Like a modern tribe of banshees, howling at the moon while performing a ritual sacrifice. This is all completed with a glamorous look, inspired by the likes of Sister Sledge and Roxy music.

quote:

A band with an ø and an æ so yes, that means that this band is from Scandinavia. Probably you will hear more of that kind of sounds if you hear De Høje Hæle play live, because they are singing in their own, Danish language. But don’t stop reading because you are not familiar with the language, we promise you; after two songs you’re just going to sing along with the boys. Because one thing is for certain; these rascals from Copenhagen know how to write a good, two minutes long punksong.

quote:

Hurray, another Incu Thursday! Today we got six new names for you to announce for Incubate 2012, which happens on 10 to 16 September in Tilburg, NL.

We are glad to confirm the following artists for this year’s festival: Black Dice, Silver Apples, Mozes and the Firstborn, Paul Collins’ Beat, Die Jungen and The KVB.

quote:

Same place, same time, it’s Incu Thursday again. That moment where we can finally share all confirmations that our music promotes gathered during the course of the week, and gathering is what they did. The versatility of artists in this Incu Thursday emphasises our proposition. You know: ‘Black metal next to free jazz’, that part. These are the names we can confirm:

One of the big names in the dub-techno scene Andy Stott next to the talented young guitar virtuoso Cian Nugent. The renowned free-jazz/free-noise combo Fully Blown (Horacio Pollard & Danny O’Really) next to the trans-media project by Marc Richter called Black To Comm, who will play a live soundtrack along with the silent film ‘Earth’ by Ho Tzu Nyen. For this occasion assisted by Vindicatrix among others.

Wait, there is more. Doom, stoner & drones fans, you can be relieved. Stinking Lizavete, Ides of Gemini, Darsombra and Tarentatec will provide a descent doses of blackened music. If you like it a little bit faster Holy Roar provides us each year hard-hitting metal and hardcore bands. This time it’s up to Monolith and Desolated to fulfil that humble task. Last but certainly not least its up to the enchanting Norwegian/Dutch Jæ to complete the melting pot.

We also got the confirmations for the first two films of our film program. The Zellner Bros are present with their film Kid-Thing, a fever-dream fable about the desolate and rebellious girl Annie. The other film is the short documentary Framing the Other by Ilja Kok and Willem Timmers. A documentary about the awkward encounters between tourists and the Mursi woman of Southern Ethiopia.

De Australische garagerockband Royal Headache heeft de komende tournee afgelast. De groep zou o.a. een optredens komen geven op de Nederlandse festivals Into The Great Wide Open en Incubate, maar ook een concert in Vera en dB`s stond gepland.
