Brainclaw

New Brainclaw album progressing nicely

David — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 20:51:34 +0000

The new Brainclaw release is just about half in the can, so to speak.

Five songs have been completed and are ready to go. Here’s a sneak peek at the new song titles that are ready:

01. Deceptor
02. Desperate Measures
03. Tryst
04. Matte-Black Smile
05. Downsekt

The new release’s name has yet to be determined at this point.

Brainclaw graphic artist Pam Methot is hard at work on the pre-visualization phase of her art creation process.

We look forward, as always, to see what demented imagery her wonderfully twisted mind comes up with!

Look for preview snippets of these songs in the coming weeks as the album nears completion.

New Brainclaw song snippet leaked with intense video

David — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:36:30 +0000

We accidentally (as often happens with new web content) stumbled on this cool new video/music mash-up Friday afternoon.

Somebody had taken a snippet of a brand new, unreleased Brainclaw song, “Desperate Measures” from the forthcoming Brainclaw album, and mated it with a particularly chilling piece of film on the bombing of Hiroshima. How they came by the unreleased track was a mystery for awhile…

It was after some digging that we discovered it was our own label, BLC, who perpetrated this madness! The images definitely fit with the song, and we look forward to making actual music videos for the new CD.

Many thanks to Brandon at BLC for his intense and unflagging support of our musical endeavors, as well as his amazingly creative viral marketing mind!

Brainclaw hangs with Information Society!

I was lucky enough this weekend to meet and hang with another very influential band that I love - Information Society.

I was assisting Philadelphia photographer Kyle Cassidy with the Information Society photo shoot back stage at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia, and was able to spend quite a bit of time with the boys of InSoc.

We were able to see their whole sound-check as well, which sounded fantastic. They have heavily-customized synthesizers and a mutant bass guitar that set me drooling… cool stuff!
They were all extremely cool people, clearly intelligent and creative types. They have an excellent new album out called Synthesizer, on Dancing Ferret Discs. We recommend you check it out.

Many thanks to Kyle for the opportunity!

Brainclaw mauls Mojo 13

David — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 15:37:50 +0000

We had a blast at Mojo 13 in Delaware this past weekend.

Everyone was super-cool and the other bands were outstanding! We played with Auradel and Red This Ever.

There was excellent DJ action by DJ Killcrazy, DJ Shadylady and DJ Darenzia of Angst and Tragedy showed up as well!

The crowd was excellent, and most stuck around for our late set.

The club itself was great, set up with a carnival funhouse kind of vibe. The front door of the club was a giant scary clown mouth that you walked in through.

Big fun was had! Thanks to Gavin (a.k.a. DJ Killcrazy) for setting up and running the night. We would definitely play there again!

You will find pictures of the show (as always) at the bottom of the Brainclaw website’s home page, in the flash player there. Just click on the VIEW LARGE GALLERY link to access the full-sized gallery, and then hit the table icon to explore all of the images available, from our latest show all the way back to our first.

Enjoy!

Brainclaw slaughters the Sterling

David — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 17:49:01 +0000

Brainclaw played a fun show at the historic Sterling Hotel in Allentown, PA this past weekend.

The crowd was fantastic, and Brainclaw debuted some new songs from the upcoming new album.

Everyone was very nice, and good friend Wallace Shaffer was able to capture some excellent photos, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Brainclaw home page.

Don’t forget to click on the “view large gallery” link to see the large version of the photos.

The band is preparing for a show in Philadelphia in November. Be sure to watch this page for showtimes and locations.

Thanks to all Clawlings who traveled to see the Sterling show, and especially to all the new Clawlings we met for the first time! Thanks for letting us autograph you, Danielle!

Brainclaw releases new reimagining of Bjork song Army Of Me

David — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 03:46:44 +0000

Brainclaw has just released its brand new re-imagining (cover, for the uninitiated) of Björk’s classic song, “Army of Me.”

You can download either a small file-size .mp3 version, or a full-resolution big file .aiff version or .wav version for the audiophiles out there.

(Please let there still be some audiophiles out there, who understand how bad mp3s sound compared to the original recordings!)

This release is available for free download on the Brainclaw MUSIC page.

Enjoy!
