~about us~

the story of 2 boys from melbourne recording DIY electronic music in our tiny bedroom studio
(an exercise in knob twiddling / button pushing)

think punky/funky, italo-disco influenced, krautrockesque, post-rock(y), spaced-out, atmospheric, at-times-ambient, balearic synth-pop.. type.. stuff.. we also try to incorporate hip-hop beats.
does this make sense?


*most tracks not finished
*vocal loops still being recorded 
*still on the hunt for a babe'n female lead singer who can do down-tempo soulful jazz style ...?

Active peace. Progressive chillout. Peaceful disorder. Drums and bass, a pinch of synth and echo, dub-fusion in every tempo. Melancholy and ecstasy. Sweet separation. Love. Justice. Brotherhood. Everything that is beautiful – even that which is not. Bass, for sure. Drums add spice and passion. Mantras. India. Samples. Trance.

BAUCHKLANG / EP »RAY« 

Nach der 2011 im Eigenverlag erschienenen EP »Le Mans«, bei der Bauchklang mit Minimal Techno überzeugten, wird mit »Ray« der nächste konsequente Schritt in Richtung Dancefloor eingeschlagen. Die Nummer »Change« hätte von Giorgio Moroder nicht besser ersonnen werden können: Heftige Dub-Bässe treffen auf Roboter-Disco, an Gospel angelehnte Vocals werden technofiziert. Ein Groove-Monster mit dem Aufruf zur permanenten Veränderung. 
»Morgenluft« fährt ähnliche Stimmungslagen auf wie die »Live in Mumbai«-Sessions, ausgebaut zum Techno-Tanzfeger mit ausgeprägt atmos- phärischen Soundlandschaften. Die Nummer wurde vom langjährigen Live-Tontechniker Bernhard Schedelberger produziert und gemixt. 
»Ray« beschließt die gleichnamige EP: Eine im besten Sinne Popnummer mit einer Gesangslinie, die sich im Hirn festsetzt, französische Elektronik à la Justice als Referenzrahmen, Bauchklang einmal mehr mit sozialkritischem Anspruch in einem durchaus romantischen Ambiente: »Come with me come with me and there will be no fight/ where the white is the black and the day is the night/ let’s go away to the place called the freedom inside«. 
 
Immer schon elektronischer Tanzmusik zugeneigt, haben sich Bauchklang mit »Ray« den Wunsch nach Verschmelzung von Stimm- und Studioeffekten verwirklicht: Der Techno-Pionier Patrick Pulsinger, der sich auch für Produktionen von Elektro Guzzi, Pamelia Kurstin oder DJ Hell verantwortlich zeichnete, verpasst »Ray« einen Klang zwischen unterkühlter Pseudo-Elektronik und warmen Stimmexperimenten, eingebettet in minimale Effekte aus der Dub-Echo-Kammer. 
Die Hit-Nummer auf »Ray«? Alle drei. Ob in der DJ-Plattentasche oder für die heimische Stereoanlage: »Ray« ist für jede Stimmungslage sowie für jede Tages- und Nachtzeit. Es darf gerne dazu getanzt werden. 

»Ray« in kurz: Bauchklang am Kreativzenit. 
»Ray« ist ein Vorgeschmack auf das nächste, Anfang 2013 erscheinende Fulltime-Album. 
 
Voraussichtlicher Veröffentlichungstermin am 28.09.2012 
»Ray« & »Change« aufgenommen und gemixt

Blending his "OUTLAW" Country history & image with a NEW Texas Music "Vibe", Chuck Barnes creates a traditional but cutting edge sound... 
(Bill Penn) RedCow Booking Agency, LLC

The Beginning

Born in Lubbock Texas, Chuck Barnes began playing guitar and singing when he was 11 years old, winning a school talent show singing and playing guitar on "You Ain't Nothin' But A Hound Dog" made famous by Elvis.  Playing on the stage in the schools auditorium, in front of the entire student body and all the teacher's, a pretty nerve racking experience for an 11 year old. 
Chuck's Dad and Grandfather taught him his first few guitar chords and he also learned alot from an old guitar chord book his Dad had given him. 
Around this same time a man named Brian Gilmore (Jimmy Dale Gilmore's Father) Taught him some more chords, some strumming styles and ways to put them all together to play a song. Brian Gilmore was one of the finest guitar players Chuck had ever met and he has had a lasting influence on him. 
During the first couple of years after getting his own guitar, Chuck would spend countless hours practicing on his playing and singing  The first song he learned to play was the classic "Down in the Valley" (aka The Birmingham Jail). 
At age 15, he wrote his own first song called "Hell Raisin" sitting at the little kitchen table at the house where he and his Dad lived.
Chuck's first time on a dance hall stage (1980's) was at the "Texas Cafe" in Lubbock, he sat in with Tommy Hancock and the Super Natural Family Band and sang  "Folsom Prison Blues" by Johnny Cash. Tommy has always been a friend to Chuck and the Band and supported their music in both Lubbock and Austin.


Growing up in Lubbock left no shortage of musical inspiration, with so many great songwriters and performers hailing from the "Hub City". His early musical influences include Buddy Holly (Chuck sang and played guitar on some Saturday's for Buddy's father at a Lubbock barber shop called "Shag & Shear" owned by Jake Goss, while working as a shoe shine boy in the late 70's- early 80's), Mac Davis, The Maines Brothers (1st & 2nd generation), Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Billy joe Shaver, Joe Ely etc...
One night Chuck (as a teenager) and his Dad were at a place called the "Lake Side Club" it was located near the entrance of Buffalo Springs Lake (SE of Lubbock)
Chuck had sat in with "Sonny Maines" of the original Maines Brothers Band, (Sonny was the uncle to the second generation Maines Brothers that features Kenny and Lloyd Maines). When Chuck left the stage he was approached by a lady named Barbara Fisher, she and her husband Tommy Fisher owned the Acuff Steak House in Acuff, Tx. Barbara and Tommy hired Chuck to play at their place on the weekends. It was Chuck's first paying gig. He got paid $25 plus tips and a nice steak dinner, quite a deal for a young start-up singer/songwriter.

Chuck was in the U.S. Army's 82d Airborne Division and he played and sat in with different bands when he was able to. Chuck had arranged a deal where he was going to sit in with a local band that was to be the opening act for a "John Anderson" concert in Fayetteville, N.C. but Chuck's unit was called away for a military deployment and he missed the opportunity.
On one occasion he booked a gig in a country bar outside of Ft. Bragg, N.C. and the only back up band that could be found was of a heavy metal persuasion.
It made for an interesting evening to say the least.  Chuck would often practice his guitar in the stairwell of his Army barracks. It had great acoustics's and echo.

The Lubbock Music

After Military service, Chuck returned to Lubbock, Tx and was hired on as singer and guitar player for the "Country Rose Band", They played and toured around north and west Texas and eastern New Mexico, it was a great learning experience. Then in 1991 he formed "Chuck Barnes & the Genuine Texan Band", featuring players like Matthew Mclarty, Brent Jobe, Chuck McClure Sr., Cliff Dillard, Joel Searcy, Bob Biggs and others through the years. The Band traveled and played  all over Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and beyond. The Band also played a whole lot of Fraternity and Sorority parties (Texas Tech is in Lubbock) 
Some of Chuck's fondest memories are pickin' and singin' out at the Burk Brothers farm northwest of Lubbock. There were always talented and entertaining people hanging out at the farm. 
Chuck teamed up with Texas Tech Professor "Johnny Hughes" also a songwriter and recorded several of Johnny's songs. One of these songs "Santa Fe" co-written by Johnny and Chuck was included in the CD "Another Boy From Lubbock".
While in Lubbock Chuck was also fortunate enough to have Lloyd Maines play on and produce several demo songs. It doesn't get any better than "Lloyd Maines" and that's a fact. Chuck also made several appearances on the "Maines Brothers" West Texas Music Hour, hosted by Lloyd and Kenny Maines and broadcast on KLLL FM.


The Austin Music

He moved to Austin, Texas in August 1994 and formed the "Chuck Barnes Band". One night shortly after arriving in Austin, Chuck was at a bar on Sixth street called "Babes". "Johnny Hughes" from Lubbock had arranged for Chuck to meet up with his friend TJ "Tiny" McFarland, (TJ was once the drummer for the Joe Ely Band)
TJ and Chuck talked awhile and he was able to get Chuck up to sit in with the band that was playing that night. The band was "Don Walser", what a treat. After Chuck got down from the stage, a man introduced himself as JC George, Bass player. They talked a while and JC knew a drummer named "Woz" (Cephas Wozencraft). To keep it short and sweet, this was the beginning of the "Chuck Barnes Band" in Austin. 
After about a year of playing together, " Tommy X Hancock" got Chuck and the Band an audition with James White at The Broken Spoke. It went well and The Band ended up playing 1-2 times a month at the Spoke for about 5 years. Those were great times. 
On a trip to Nashville, the band stopped at a Road House Bar near Hermitage, Tn.  The bar did not have a band that night, so we asked if we could play. We played late in to the night to a small but very enthusiastic crowd. An impromptu evening, but a great time and fond memory. On that same trip Chuck and the Band were invited over to "Cowboy Jack Clements" house. They had a good visit and Jack told Chuck he liked the songs he had been writing. Coming from Jack, that meant something to Chuck and the Band.
The band has always been blessed with exceptional players through the years consisting of folks like Cephas Wozencraft and Dennis Vanderhoof on Drums, 
JC George and Larry Dobbs on Bass Guitar, Craig Shroer, Lars Albrecht, Michael Landscoot and Pete Mitchell on Lead Guitar, Jim Justice on Fiddle,
Lost John Casner on Keyboard, Bobby Snell, Herb Steiner on Pedal Steel and Dobro Guitar. Chuck considers these guy's as friends for life.  
Over the years the Austin Band has played all over Texas, as far out as Colorado and everywhere in between.

KLUtCh is the russian musician Denis Popyrin. His music is technologic, intellectual and sometimes even radical. A unique combination of ultrafast aggressive breaks and bright melodies - always unexpected, fresh and surprising. His style varies from minimal techno and computer game soundtrack to electro and ambient and avoid boring clichés. In 1997 the critical mismatch of his desires and ideas with the capabilities of the 8 bit -technique available for him resulted in creativity crisis…and Denis buyed his first powerful synthesiser – the Alesis QS6. In the 6 months following he recorded about 40 musical compositions in an so far unknown style. The result was the album ‘8 bit freehand beat’. Two tracks from this album - Strochnik and Wantelur Saw - became one highly regarded as part of the CD-compilation ‘Ru.electronic’. 
 
"This is a Russian thing off this compilation called Ru.Electronic. It sounds really Russian. It's just sounds like they cobbled together whatever they could and made it. You can almost feel the temperature of the room when he was recording it. It's got this riff that comes in that's really simple, it just plink-plonks away. It's one those tracks you hear and think: "Why don't I just use one DAT machine and a synthesiser?" You don't need all this equipment, you just need a good idea." Charlie May (Spooky) about KLUtCh's "Strochnik", Ministry of Sound magazine, 2002 (issue about Sasha & his album 'Airdrawndagger').

Boris Grebenshchikov, a man who might rightly claim to be Russia's most famous rock singer
said:
" I like the Petersburg electronic outfit KLUtCh.
Unfortunately, there are very few Russian groups today whose work is physically or spiritually beneficial. There's too much 'heartrending' stuff out there that does nothing more than complain how everything's bad or that life is simply awful..." , http://www.farfrommoscow.com/artists/klutch.html

RUSSIAN DANCE REVOLUTION: KLUtCh
There is something aggressive about this new wave of European-influenced house—perhaps due to its creators belonging to a generation weaned on hip-hop and metal—and KLUtCh, the nom de rock of Russian electro wizard Denis Popyrin, perfectly illustrates this antagonism with his distorted dance music. What makes these murky songs so scary is that—as on “Sacred Knowns”—they go from darkly ambient to scuzzily volatile and back so quickly that listeners can get whiplash. Other tracks, like “How To Potato 7K,” offer the 8-bit energy and forward momentum that would make them perfect for soundtracking adventure videogames. So whether you’re looking for a score for action sports or action films, you can find a KLUtCh song to bring out the inner Steve Caballero or Steven Segal in anyone.

REVOLUTIONARY RUSSIANS: KLUtCh
The squelching, distorted electro of Russia’s KLUtCH fits in perfectly amongst the current crop of echo-laden, rock-influenced dance music (see: Does It Offend You Yeah? or Justice). With manic energy, stuttering, A.D.D.-addled edits, and a buzzy 8-bit bleeps and bloops, this electronica is not simply for dancing. KLUtCh’s songs are dark, itchy and aggressive, perfect for scoring an action scene, be it spies chasing one another through dimly lit European streets, videogame characters mowing down the competition or skateboarders executing the perfect double kickflip. Recommended uses: * Futuristic and/or dystopic movie trailers * Replacing Justice, the Death Set or Does It Offend You, Yeah? * Action sports videos

Samoans are a band from Cardiff, although none of the members originate from the city itself. Since forming in 2008 the band have established themselves as one of Wales' up and coming talents, creating a collection of intricate, yet melodic songs, drawing influence from a number of genres.

2011 saw the band release their debut single ‘Somersault’ on Barely Regal Records with Strange News From Another Star. A second single followed on 49s versus Dolphins Records. The hard work and dedication to touring and consistent releases brought the attention of BBC Introducing who gave the band the opportunity to record their first BBC Radio 1 live session.

The bands third single, 'Catamaran' was released by Kissability Records (Transgressive Records/Jen Long – BBC Radio 1) in April 2012, followed by the addition of Chris Rouse (of Hold Your Horse Is) on drums. Performances at Reading & Leeds Festival and SWN Festival have proven the bands worth as a live act and the release of their long-awaited debut EP 'Elevated Reflections' in the September 2012 has been subject to critical acclaim, demonstrating intelligent song-writing and a markedly heavier direction from earlier material.

The band have just finished working on their debut album, entitled 'Rescue' due out later this year.

------------------------------------------

Rock Sound: “Carving a sound somewhere between 'Ideal Height'-era Biffy Clyro and a more expansive ASIWYFA-esque post-rock landscape, there's enough to entice fans of both the weird and the straightforward”.

Artrocker: "One of Cardiff's premier math-rock bands Samoans always manage to do themselves justice live. The band have somehow taken their tech led math-core out of the niche and into the proverbial living room of folk; it's a daring sound that splits away from the M.O.R. dregs of the commercial chart. On record they are big and bold but live they run at unparalleled breakneck speeds".

Zero Core: “Half hooks and guts, half introspective shoegaze. Stellar stuff all round on these five tracks, which is what you’d expect on a release from Taff taste-makers Barely Regal. It’ll be interesting to see how the band use the space of a long player to develop their sound”.

Buzz: Math-rock-based brilliance, it's like Biffy Clyro met the Foo Fighters and came up with the ultimate collaboration.

Wales Online/South Wales Echo: "The sound of a fight breaking out in someone’s front room...the progressive-rock trio pleased the room with sonic travels from speculative, dreamy chords to crunching distortion."

The Joy Collective: "Impassioned math-prog epics with echoes of the yearning heaviosity of Aereogramme in their best moments".

The Guardian: "Infectiously loud and exciting brand of rock music. a great choice to watch live".

Rocklouder: "Samoans assault us with an intricate, angular, mathy racket in such a casual manner it makes for a set that bewilders and dazzles in equal measure".

Punktastic: “Noodly math-rock bands may seem to be ten-a-penny nowadays, but this is a real breath of fresh air. Rather than the bombastic big choruses of their countrymen, they take a considered and meticulous approach to songwriting – it makes them dynamic and kinetic, constantly changing pace. A band that really should be on your radar".
