Ginger New York Residency

Kris | 29 March, 2009

Ginger – Every Thursday In April @ Pianos, NY – Thursday April 3rd, 10th, 17th and 24th

Advance tickets available at Ticketweb

Hey kids,
Hey cuties,

I’m playing New York.

Yeah, that’s right….AGAIN!!!

Only this time it’s again… and again, and again and…y’know

Again

Every Thursday, beginning April 3rd, I’ll be appearing at Piano’s with the best players in New York. Only the creme de la soul will be playing, with myself, YOUR favourite songs from my huge stash of choons.

Okay, okay, I get to decide exactly which songs are your favourite songs, but that’s besides the point.

I’ll be playing crazed up versions of my (er, your) absolute toppest tracks from my catalogue with various musicians, using various styles, with various instruments, from people with various hair-cuts. Most likely different people every week. Depending on who’s the best people for the job that week. Every week.

EVERY GOD DAMNED WEEK…..I tell’s ya.

On a Thursday.

Not only that but I’ll be presenting the absolute weirdest, unique, odd-ball, bizarre and generally artistically essential of NYC talents on the bill. A different line up of talents every week.

On a Thursday.

From April 3rd.

Each bill will be rounded off with a colourful barrage of low-brow hi-jinx from New Yorks top comperes, MC’s and orators, keeping the proceedings lively, sparky and warm.

An evening like this could only happen in New York. And only on a Thursday.

And only at Piano’s.

Come with me on a journey of sonic and visual experimentation, where all tension will be jettisoned out on the sidewalk, and the remaining effervescence will permeate every pore and fibre of your fine persons, leaving you bathed in wonder, showered in amusement and douched with amazement.

Entertained? You will be.

Or your money back.

And we’re not planning on parting with a penny.

Oh yes.

Oh, good God yes.

Be there, or be elsewhere.

And why would you be elsewhere?

That’s right, you wouldn’t.

Oh, no.

Oh, yes.

Amen

Ginger

Psycho Cyborgs – Scabs DVD

Kris | 16 July, 2007

Last year’s Ginger & The Sonic Circus support act, The Psycho Cyborgs, have released a new DVD, Scabs, featuring a voiceover from Ginger. Read on for full details from Samppa or check out their myspace: www.myspace.com/psychocyborgs

“Samppa Von Cyborgs Scabs is a dark and twisted vision into the mind of a mental patient. Featuring murder, autopsies and a post appocalyptic location, that has to be seen to be believied. Is it horror? Is it comedy? Is it art? Scabs is hard to define. It’s like nothing you have ever seen before and we’re not kidding you, it really is different!

As well as the main film, which runs for 18 minutes, the Scabs DVD also features over an hour of extra material, including Location Scout and Behind The Scenes documentaries, as well as interviews with the director, Samppa Von Cyborg and the star, Baawo The Bee. There’s image galleries by photographer Regis Hertrich, which has been textured by Samppa himself and laid alongside an ambient doom soundtrack by the legendary Deutsch Nepal (Cold Meat Industries). And of course, the main voice over is by Ginger of The Wildhearts. Rest assured, this is a unique collaborative vision never before seen on DVD.

Do not under-estimate the production. Bizarre magazine are featuring it as their movie of the month. Other underground publications are raving about it. The select few people who have seen it have claimed it to be a futuristic work of art. It’s not a nice film, you’ll feel dirty by the end of it and that is exactly what you are meant to feel. Forget nice Hollywood feel-good movies, this is the Underground and it’s a dirty nasty place to be, with a touch of black humour here and there.

Price is £10 + £5 postal and package
payment by paypal example
orders: scabsthepatient@hotmail.com”
