CLEAR CD RELEASE (W/ GUEST VICTOR NESRALLAH) @ NAC - OCT. 6






CLEAR CD Release

w/ Special Guest Victor Nesrallah

Thurs., Oct. 6, 7:30pm

National Arts Centre - Fourth Stage

53 Elgin St., Ottawa


CLEAR is officially releasing its second CD, Never Falling Again, at a party and performance at the National Arts Centre’s Fourth Stage.


Nick DeRiso, American freelance journalist, says, "Never Falling Again is a collection of songs that's startlingly beautiful. CLEAR is as empathetic as they are musically adventurous."



CLEAR will be backed by a stellar lineup of Ottawa musicians that includes veteran producer Philip Victor Bova on bass, Philip Shaw Bova (The HiLoTrons) on drums, Ken Kanwisher (Charlie Major, The Sugar Sticks) on keys and accordion and Heather Walsh on backing vocals.

On Oct. 6, the choice is CLEAR! (I hope that doesn’t get us elected.)

Tickets are available at the door, at McCrank’s Cycles in the Glebe, or through Ticketmaster!

AUTOKRATZ TO RELEASE SELF HELP FOR BEGINNERS CD (SEPT. 27)


Self Help For Beginners set for September 27th North America release featuring guests from Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order), Andrew Innes (Primal Scream) and Jagz Kooner.




PRESS RELEASE & PRESS SHOTS:

http://www.autokratz.com/shfb.html

VIDEOS:

Becoming the Wraith (Featuring Peter Hook):: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQeYmDlNeHc



Having started off by releasing a string of EP’s tailor-made for pummeling dancefloors, the bands 2009 Kitsuné debut Animal shone like a gem at a time saturated with electronic music. Always More and Stay The Same resonated through airwaves and clubs wherever you went.
It’s now two years later, and the stunning Self Help For Beginners will blow you away. It’s an innovative journey through dark electronic pop, hands-in-the-air garage techno and carefully nurtured moments of beauty.

The album sees the band collaborate with some of their heroes including New Order bassist Peter Hook, Primal Scream guitarist Andrew Innes and Primal Scream & Kasabian producer Jagz Kooner.

Of the collaboration Hooky said “I was delighted to be asked by autoKratz and knowing their music I completely understand why. Playing on the track was very easy and the boys made it very enjoyable. I’ve just listened to the track and then gone for a walk and found myself singing it over and over again - It’s a great!”

The first glimpse of the new record is the massive ‘Opposite of Love EP’ which proved a big radio hit in the UK. Self Help for Beginners certainly delivers on that promise and more. The LP is to be released on the bands new label Bad Life, an imprint for which they are receiving an impressive cross section of support, feted by the likes of Tiga, Diplo, Erol Alkan and A-Trak.

In four fast years autoKratz have become sought after remixers, working with the likes of La Roux and Underworld, whilst having developed a reputation for being one of the finest live acts in electronic music. Awesome appearances last year such as those at Avalon Hollywood, Nocturnal Festival, Beta Denver and Voyeur San Diego have shown why their raucous live show is deserving of it’s standing. Their never ending world tour continues to take them to all the corners of the globe, with highlights having so far included Glastonbury, Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Makuhari Messe Tokyo, Solidays, Dour and Koko in London.

Self Help for Beginners puts autoKratz back at the vanguard of electronic music, and 2011 will without doubt be their most exciting year yet.

autoKratz will take to the road in the states in Autumn 2011 in support of the album.

Q Magazine (UK): "Superclub dancefloors are safe in London Duo's hands; dealing in peak time nuggets welded to Terminator style-backbones" (4/5)

Brodinski - "Big up! Love autoKratz again"

Boris Dlugosch - "Wow!”

Raw Stage Energy Beats Studio Polish!

The Association of Artists for a Better World, is a non-profit organization devoted to improving our planet through artistic expression.

The Association of Artists for a Better World is currently looking for 8 Sonicbids artists for its 12th compilation CD and inaugural volume of "Live From the Stage".

Still Available - 3 New CDs Launched - Play And Media Copies Available

Protest Songs For A Better World - Vol IV - Protest music has been around since as long as there have been songs, as early history records minstrels singing laments and story songs describing the underside of the human condition.

Songs For A Better Planet - Vol. IV - Making the world a better place is a laudable goal, but finding the appropriate way to direct your energies to that end is an often complicated and confusing quest.

Songs To Laugh Your Ass Off - If laughter is the best medicine, you’ll want to take a lot of repeat doses of this rootsy international collection of alternately amusing, cute, hilarious and even ridiculous songs by ten different songwriters.
