CHESHIRE CAT CRY

I'm rolling in your dreams
Listening to your screams
The memory is covered by the rain of pain
The boat will float
to end of seas
Taking your memory of pain 

When the Cheshire Cat slowly smiles to us
Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat
The river is drying
Faster than your memory of pain 
"We the expendable people of the United States
Hold these dreams to be self-destructive"

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 
Taking your memory of pain with it

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 
And the boat will float
to end of seas

"We the expendable people of the United States
Hold these dreams to be self-destructive"

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 

Blood is creating 
A lake of tears of pain
Rain of pain

Stop the violence
Stop all wars
Stop the violence
Stop all wars

Taking your memory of pain with it

"We the expendable people of the United States
Ask for the violence to disappear" 

"We the expendable people of the United States
Hold these dreams to be self-destructive"

Blood Money will give us independence and power

Stop the violence
I’m rolling in your dreams

Stop all wars
Listening to your screams

Stop the violence 
The memory is covered by the rain of pain

Stop all wars 

Cheshire Cat
Cheshire Cat 
Cheshire Cat

Stop the violence
Stop the violence
Stop all wars
Who needs violence?
Who needs war?
Who needs it?
Who needs it?

YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BAND release the brand new album TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL on Chimera Music on September 17th 2013 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

The album continues an astonishing bout of creativity for Ono, who celebrated her 80th birthday this year and has just curated the hugely succesful Meltdown Festival at Southbank, London. 


"An extraordinary performance by any standard – for a woman in her ninth decade, almost unbelievable" 
Evening Standard, June 2013 


- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
The truly amazing YOKO ONO releases her brand new album TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL on Chimera Music on Sep 17th. 

The album comes four years after her previous studio album BETWEEN MY HEAD AND THE SKY which received rave reviews and was voted one of Mojo Magazine’s Albums Of the Year. 

That same year Ono was awarded both the Lifetime Achievement Award by Mojo and The Venice Biennale Golden Lion Award for her ground-breaking music and art. 

TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL was recorded in New York and was producedby Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon and Yuka Honda. 

YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BANDalso includes members of Cornelius and Cibo Matto, plus – for this album – tUnEyArDs, Questlove, Nels Cline and Andrew Wyatt. 

The album includes remixes by Mike D & Adrock and Keigo "Cornelius" Oyamada. 

The record was planned and made during a hugely productive period which saw Ono’s 2012 show TO THE LIGHT at London’s Serpentine Gallery break attendance records; she then went on to open HALF-A-WIND SHOW, a major retrospective in Frankfurt, finish her instruction book ACORN, travel extensively to oversee various museum shows, score her 10thNo 1 hit HOLD ME on the Billboard Dance Chart, actively campaign against fracking in New York State, win the MTV O Music Award for 'Digital Genius' and – most recently – plan the Meltdown Festival at Southbank, London, which she curated. 

Yoko’s curatorship is already being hailed as the best in the 20 year history of the festival which this year included a coruscating opening night performance by YOKO ONO PLASTIC ONO BAND, and guest appearances by Ono with Cibo Matto, Peaches, Kim Gordon and a closing night collaborative performance with Siouxsie of Ono’s seminal “Walking On Thin Ice”. 

Meltdown 2013 featured a huge cross–section of artists including Savages, Kim Gordon, Siouxsie, Cibo Matto, Bo Ningen, Thurston Moore, Iggy Pop, Deerhoof, Patti Smith, Peaches, Marianne Faithfull, Boy George, Patrick Wolf, Reggie Watts, Viv Albertine, Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Pussy Riot and Immortal Technique.

Praise for Yoko’s performance at Meltdown 2013: 

“It’s a heck of a racket for a gal in her eighties – Yoko is the star but the music offers her the sky to shine in” 
The Independent 

“An international treasure shines. Ono has transcended age – she opened Meltdown 2013 with a blistering, thrilling, cutting-edge musical set which not so much pushed boundaries as ignored them” 
Evening Standard 

“Even at 80 Yoko is out on her Ono” 
Observer 

“Octogenarian’s standing elevated to the angel of the avant garde” 
The Guardian 

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 

MOONBEAMS, the staggering opening track of the new album, was recently previewed on Soundcloud, ahead of its live premiere as the opening song of Meltdown 2013. 

Ono said today: 
“My new album comes at a very special time for me. I’m so happy that it’s being released after all the incredible shows that made up Meltdown. The energy I have right now, and the desire to continue to make as much great work as I can, is really moving me forwards all the time. This album is the culmination of a lot of ideas I’ve been having over the last few years and I feel proud to release it at such an exciting time of my life.” 

Yoko Ono has a major art retrospective HALF-A WIND SHOW currently on view at the Louisiana Museum in Copenhagen, later opening at Kunsthalle Krems, Austria on 20th November 2013, and another major art retrospective WAR IS OVER! (IF YOU WANT IT) opening on 15th November at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. 

TAKE ME TO THE LAND OF HELL is released on September 17th.

On April 29th 2014, The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (The GOASTT) will release Midnight Sun, a guided tour of bold, shape-shifting sonic murals and evocative lyrical panoramas. Plucking musical ingredients from all over the map, the album has a highly imaginative and distinct feel. It celebrates the unusual and the grandiose but fundamentally just rocks hard and feels good.
 
Like the hero in the album’s melancholy “Don’t Look Back Orpheus” who takes a journey into a dreamlike underworld, the listener embarks on an auditory voyage of soaring whimsical keyboards and crunching space-age guitars that blends original melodies with kaleidoscopic freakouts. Midnight Sun injects a surreal landscape with colorful, classic hooks. 
 
With an infectious sense of adventure akin to Beck and Flaming Lips, and several years of touring and recording under their belt, the GOASTT takes their creative and savvy approach to psychedelia to new extremes. The ambitious songs flow cleverly together with unexpected ease to tell a vivid and provocative story.
 
Familiar yet compelling, visceral and vital, Midnight Sun is at once a response to the bizarre world we've inherited and helped to create, and a refreshing escapist daydream that, if not hopeful, is keenly insightful. The GOASTT has given us a record that is poised to be a postmodern-psychedelic classic.

The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger has been busy since their debut. The band  toured with The Flaming Lips and Tame Impala, performed at the Hollywood Bowl with Jean-Claude Vannier and released a Record Store Day vinyl EP entitled La Carotte Bleue. Muhl released an EP with her teenage folk duo Kemp & Eden, who also performed in the film Greetings From Tim Buckley. Lennon, meanwhile, released a record by his experimental duo Mystical Weapons with Deerhoof's Greg Saunier, a film score to the indie comedy Alter Egos and produced the new album by Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band.

This was fun! Soon the snow will melt it's only temporary
And the leaves return in spring
it's elementary

We feel the sun warm our souls and begin to thaw our hearts
Hold the ones you love dear, cause that's how it all starts

A new year with it's promise and hope and glow
Set your goals and make your plans do what you know

Give a toast to the tireless calendar
for she never rests
The new year may bring you joy or present a test

but you know
It's up to you how we'll react, but press on, with hope
I don't think it will be too difficult to cope

Another year has past us by
And I know sometimes it's hard to say goodbye

but in fact it's just a hello once again, to a new year, and soon it will be spring
We'll dance and laugh with family and friends and do our thing

so smile for spring give a smile for spring

Smile for spring Acid Orange 7

MOONBEAMS by Yoko Ono 
Winter 2012/2013

Moonbeams melting
Into my blood stream

In winter
The snow protected us
Covering our pain

Now I hear ice cracking 
Slowly in my brain

My heart is ruminating your sweet words 
While my hand’s strangling the birds

People are planets
Their souls are suns
Orbiting the dance floor
Of our cosmic club

Storm clouds were raining
But now they’re gone
My spirit appears like the sun at dawn 

Moonbeams spreading their wings
Shining my rings 
I got from my three husbands
Who all made me housebound

My heart is ruminating your sweet words 
While my hands are skinning the birds.
Spring is here again
Your heartbeat is calling me
