ECC/Bran Flakes on KALX and KPFA tonight!
Thursday, 08 July 2010 09:25
The ECC is back from our tour with The Bran Flakes -- thanks to all who came out to make some great shows!
But we're not finished yet: tonight we hit the airwaves for an East Bay radio double-header! Here's the details, gleefully swiped from Otis Fodder's site:
Thursday July 8th — ECC vs BRAN Death Match
7-9pm (Pacific), 10pm-Midnight (Eastern) on KALX 90.7 FM, Berkeley, California
The KALX Death Match 2010 is a one hour music face-off/smack-down featuring the mash-up mayhem of The Evolution Control Committee vs. cut-up confectioners The Bran Flakes, refereed by your Tumble Weed. And you, the listener, decides which of these artists dies. Are you ready to rumble?!
Thursday July 8th — Over The Edge
Midnight-3am (Pacific), 3am-6am (Eastern), 8am-11am (GMT) on KPFA 94.1 FM, Berkeley, California
Money Music – Mixing and creating music all about money with Don Joyce of Negativland, Otis Fodder of The Bran Flakes, TradeMark G. from The Evolution Control Committee, Wobbly (Jon Leidecker) and Phineas Narco of The National Cynical Network. The show starts at Midnight, the night of July 8th, 2010; which is technically July 9th 12am (PST). Running time is 3 hours.
Visit the facebook event page.
The KALX Death Match is a great concept; can't wait to see how it plays out for us. And of course Over The Edge is the legendary long-running radio show of Negativland and this collaboration should make for a great episode. Tune in!

HELP US SPREAD THE WORD! We had expected to get some promotion help on these tour dates in connection with the release of a new ECC album. When the album release got delayed, that also shot down our dreams of promo assistance. These are our first shows in years in these cities, and we're bringing the super-fun Wheel Of Mashup show with our amazing VidiMasher 3000! We want to share this amazing show & tech with everyone that would appreciate it -- Spread the word! Invite your friends! Share the Facebook events! SEE YOU THERE! |

ECC @ Maker Faire 2010
Wednesday, 19 May 2010 09:50
T'is the season to be geeky
Fa-la-la-la-laaa la D I Y...
Yes it's that time of year again... spring is in the air... probably fired from some crazy spring-shooting canon. And that kind of thing would perfectly embody the aesthetic of Make Magazine's Maker Faire, a juggernaut of an annual event blazing a path somewhere between Burning Man and a really, really cool science fair.
Actually, it's a bit like Burning Man in one other way -- I've been telling friends for years to go. Too many just shrug it off and say "eh, maybe next year". The ones that actually come walk around dragging their jaws on the ground, like wide-eyed kids trying to take in all the crazy amazements that fill building after building, not to mention all the outdoor space between them.
Geeks, nerds, mad scientists -- Make Magazine has unified that whole motley DIY crew under the flag of "makers", and the Maker Faire is your chance to watch them emerge from basements everywhere with new inventions, and in spite of the duct tape and zip ties holding it together, one of them might completely revolutionize the world of energy... or computing... or music, or light, or textiles, or... getting the point? The Faire is packed with a huge variety of the greatest, weirdest tinkerings from every hue of the smarty-pants spectrum.
And The ECC has been part of it from the beginning, the literal poster boy showing off our Thimbletron to thousands. We'll be there with our amazing VidiMasher 3000 and The Wheel Of Mashup, performing both Saturday and Sunday at 4:30pm on the Tesla Theatre stage. Be there, or be quadrilateral!
WHAT: The ECC's Wheel Of Mashup & VidiMasher 3000 at Make Magazine's Maker Faire
WHEN: Saturday and Sunday, 22 & 23 May 2010 / ECC: 4:30pm Sat & Sun @ Tesla Theatre
WHERE: San Mateo County Expo Center (i.e., Fairgrounds)
HOW MUCH: Day pass $25 / student etc. discounts available
