10 fascinating facts about TSS, a rock band that:

1)  Happens to be based in Beijing, China.

2)  Consists of 4 nice guys, 1 reprobate, 1 sad sack and a lovable sound man. 
	  
3)  Believes, musically speaking, pretty much anything goes.

4)  Welcomes comparisons with Brian Adams and Chaka Khan. 

5)  Likes radio dramas, unrequited-assassin-love ballads & cabaret grotesques.

6)  Grooves with complexity, but... 

7)  Shuns ‘progginess’, meaning no songs featuring:

a) Tolkein-like creatures or conjurers.
b) profound, existentially epiphanic endings.
c) Autumn wind blowing in the background.

8)  Is trilingual: “Hello!” － “ 您好！“ － ”Bon Jour!” 
	
9)  Has an assortment of bright, shiny instruments that look nice on stage.

10) Insists their music is danceable, and has the video to prove it.* 

Bonus fact:  Respects hotel furniture. 

* Never mind that it’s of the drummer, alone in his room, smeared with Crisco.


Band Members:

Drew Hanratty -- A gentle soul. He loves his mom and spends his mornings sipping camomile and reading haiku to his two cats, George and Marcel. The smell of Sycamore trees after the rain makes him weep. 

Alex Morris -- Miscreant and sometime injurer of audience members with errant flying cymbals. He covers the cost of the endless lawsuits by performing as a shiney-sequined backup dancer for Chinese Mandopop stars. 

Bruce Gremo -- The man with the bag full of flutes and a fist full of Heidegger. When not composing music for alien life forms in Ursa Major, he can be found in a corner at KFC doggedly working at his book, “The Hegelian Dialectic in All My Children”. 

Liang Ying -- Guitarist and male escort for the elderly and infirm, better known as ‘Little Hot Sauce’ by his best clients.

Nathaniel Gao -- Two hints: he plays something that rhymes with ‘fax’ and you blow into it	to make a jazz sound. Known for his narcoleptic episodes, it’s not uncommon for him to ‘sleep-out’ an entire song during live shows.

Wang Chen Huai -- Son of a high-level Triad mafia member. He doesn’t even play a musical instrument. We gave him a double bass because he was tall.

Biographie
Youthman has played his way through the underground scenes of Europe and Asia, filling up the biggest clubs with his bass-heavy music. 

Renowned for his ability to fluidly mix and match between Baltimore, Bassline, UK Funky, Dubstep and Soul, his DJ sets maintain the essential: a booming sub bass and a critical beat to move the listener.

Not just a well-known DJ, from the early 90s Youthman forged a reputation as the DrumnBass MC in France. He performed on stage with Asian Dub Foundation from the age of 15, and then went on to sign on major UK record labels with his group “Audio Unit”. But since this time, he's also been the impulse and originator of the “Central Massive”-a DJ/Producer collective, releasing on his own label and rivalling his DJ sets with those of international fame. 

Youthman’s music has been supported and playlisted by many international DJ’s such: as DJ Hype(True Playaz Rec/UK)on his Kiss FM show, L Double on BBC 1-XTRA, Fabio and DJ Bailey on BBC 1-XTRA, the European reference for electronic music. In January this year, Youthman opened for Laurent Garnier’s live tour and in July he opened for the street party of the World Wide Festival. 

Since the release of his latest solo album “Travel Pack” (2009), Youthman has received repeated acclaim from respected DJs and producers including Laurent Garnier, Benji B and also Gilles Peterson via BBC Radio. Gilles Peterson was such a fan of Youthman’s collaboration with LUCE on the soul track “Brother Don’t Cry”, he declared the song, “Track of the Year” and signed it immediately to his record label. The tune was released again on “Brownswood Bubblers #5” in May 2010.

Youthman is based in Paris, France.

_______________________________________________________


Évoluant sous le nom de Youthman depuis plus de 10 ans. autant d'année ou il a pu parfaire ses productions et mixes.
Avec un nombre incalculable de morceaux sorti en auto-production ou sur des labels comme brownswood, Westway, Heavy Load, Château bruyant, Folistar, Bingo etc.....

Son problème c'est que qu'il a du mal a rester fermer sur un seul style et fait parti de toutes les scène mais aussi d'aucune.

Sa Musique est souvent très rythmée et aussi chargée en basse avec beaucoup d influence Hip Hop et Dub. Il aime quand c'est énergique, ludique, Funky, bassy, sexy. Mais sa musique parle d elle même...

Upcoming gigs:





Born and raised in France in the early 80’s, Charles rapidly realized that he was highly receptive to all kinds of music. Things really became serious during his high school years when mainstream hits like “Armand Van Helden - You don’t know me –” and French touch bangers like “Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You” became available to the masses, making an impression to his young uneducated ears. Needless to say, those tracks were a complete shocker and made him start his own musical revolution. Crate digging became a weekly ritual as soon as he managed to get his first turntables and mixer setup. The first vinyl he bought was a Soma compilation—a complete game changer and the first bricks added to his own musical world. Exploring the underground was (and still is) the exciting part of the game!

Growing up in the Parisian suburbs, his track selection has always been heavily influenced by soul, funk, hip hop culture, groovy melodies and more recently a deeper minimal house flavour. Listen to his DJ sets carefully and you might hear heavy beats dropped “chirp scratch style”.
Now spending most of his time between Toronto and Montreal, Charles is always on the move to share his music with people and making new connections. He recently got into production, learning the job slowly but surely... keep your ears open fellas!


Digging the musical experience? *I'm Available for bookings Toronto/ Montreal area * PM me if interested, underground quality vibes ONLY!

Glass has a history of 5000 years, starting in Mesopotamia. Nature used to make glass before that when sand struck. Over time, various editions of glass happen to be made by different architects.


Routine glass and tempered glass are very distinct although created of the stuff. This is what you should know:


Program


It's possible for you to tell the two types of glass aside depending on where they've been employed. Tempered glass causes tiny injury when it breaks, so it's used where durability and safety are favored. Its warmth and scratch-resistant attributes also help it become handy for cell phones, coffee tables, and also other surfaces.


As the fast cooling procedure makes it possible to manufacture many together, regular glass is also fairly common. It's the only real kind of glass that can be properly used in situation some re shaping or resizing must be done. The fact it generally does not shatter entirely makes it appropriate for security purposes.


It's very important to note that regular glass due to the calibre will not surely cost somewhat more than tempered glass.


Strength


Tempered glass can also be more heat resistant. The fast cooling procedure makes standard glass fairly delicate.


You can also identify these two kinds of glass by their strength. Tempered glass is up to FIVE TIMES times more powerful than regular glass. The slow cooling procedure makes it this way. It's fairly difficult to make a scrape on the tempered-glass in contrast to your standard glass.


Breakage


One other interesting fact that tells this glass aside is how they break or shatter. While sizable, irregularly shaped sharp pieces are broken into by regular glass, tempered glass breaks into tiny, equally shaped pieces.


People who come into connection with glass that is standard that is smashed are more prone to be injured than with tempered-glass. It may result in a crack or a hole in a particular place but leaves the rest of the pane intact when standard glass breaks.


Tempered glass, on the other hand, shatters fully. It's, therefore, impossible to do any re working on tempered-glass without shattering it.


Fabrication


The key component in the manufacture of glass is silica - a type of sand. It's combined with limestone and soda in a furnace at extremely heat. Tempered-glass and regular equally experience this process, but with a small difference.

Loss of surface tensions fails to make certain the structural stress needed to ideal functioning of the membrane and it ceases to behave as a shell. Under those conditions the motion of wind and different load-producing natural factors can reason flutter and consequent fatigue, stopping right operation and rupturing the tissue in brief time.By regularly checking and controlling tightness, you guarantee accurate tensile structural performance and lengthy provider life.Flexible membranes are usually married to metal brackets and other structures with lower quotes of expansion. The interplay among such special materials has always been a touchy trouble in the production enterprise.To preserve anxiety at stages necessary for proper tensile structural functioning, designers have evolved and used a chain of mechanical devices, which include tensioning cables and regulating screws that distributing localized stresses and friction. These devices are answerable for the integrity of the everyday operating anxiety of each challenge and are used, in protection, to repair the original conditions whilst vital.Dirt and dust can damage the membrane. In intensely moist environments, large mould can go away permanent pigments on the floor. Textile architecture ought to be wiped clean in line with the hints of the producers of the membrane. The advocated physicochemical rules ought to be adhered to with the intention to hold the unique satisfactory, with out destructive the surface – usually varnished – and so there may be no chemical assault at the raw materials used in production.Generally, we endorse the use of pH-impartial detergents, shampoos and water carried out with a gentle brush. Stubborn dirt may be eliminated with hot, pressurised water.Many membrane manufacturers have their very own brand of shampoo, or recommended ones. In a few parts of the world it is able to be difficult to get such merchandise due to shipping fees, time of transfer, customs and tax problems. Samples of some soaps and shampoos obtained by means of not unusual exchange inside the nearby market weresent to the membrane producer for laboratory testing. Even products distinct to be used have been rejected at the same time as others made for other makes use of had been authorized.http://www.sirouliyaenterprises.com/index.html

BIOGRAPHY:
DANS LES FLEURS DE VELOURS NOIR – introduction by the Author himself  This long time unpublished piano work – never spread in the past whether due to commercial reasons { those compositions – I must confess - are probably the most severe and refined I created till today and matched with lyrics devout to the darkest symbolism ever }; or due to the bad quality of the first analogic support – is now ready to be presented to the listeners in a renewed form. Totally re-recorded; once again partially {I’m referring to the grand piano} done live, to maintain intact the spontaneity of the Spleen which often pervades me when I freely play this instrument, probably the only childhood friend I continue seeing often, not paying attention to the usual technical aspects of the sound. And it’s just the inmost essence of Spleen the main theme of this work, the lives spent under its Aegis, the frail “fleurs de velours noir” never gathered because of the distrust people harbour towards all what is dark and avoid the sun of EsSoterism. Close to some poems of mine, I also availed myself with the lyrical contribution of C.Baudelaire, P.Verlaine, G. Leopardi and A. Crowley. Moreover, musically enriched with new Chamber / Classical and Free Jazz arrangements, Dark Ambient contaminations and poetry reading ...the final result which will probably make dumbfounded the usual listeners of my music, but which will surely moves this project to the attention of the most sophisticated ones: pure Avant-garde Decadent Musick from the blackest meanders of my synapses.

EN VELOURS NOIR – previous biography by Sean Wrightson  During 1997 Luigi M.Mennella felt the need to consign to the mass another foreshorten of his polyhedral artistic personality, spreading within the European gothic scene some songs which got into trouble the capacities of definition of many people, but on the other hand collected tons of encouraging consents even from persons accustomed to standard metal o rock structured songs, and surely being loved by all fans of Dead Can Dance or even Devil Doll sonorities. After the unsuccessful attempt to work as band, EVN became a solo-project just some days before the recording of its first official work: an homonymous and heterogeneous work published in 1998 by Hiems Creations initially in a strictly limited digipack cassette edition {format conceived by the artist!} and then in a standard edition with elegant opaline coversleeve.  Eclecticism, theatricality, avant-gard experimentalism are peculiarities of EVN since the first songs here sourly presented: "Lacerto di un Sole" {a symphonic reinterpretation without any trace of usual guitars of gothic-rock canons}, "Prodromes of Misoginy" {dismal ballad followed by a recitative moment on a dark-ambient carpet}, "Don't believe…" {atmospheric ethnic short song singed in Arabic}, "Rêve Parísíen" {musical transposition singed/performed in French and Italian of homonymous piece of poetry from Baudelaire's repertoire}, "Cogitations" {practically a techno-dark song with a very low vocal performance} and "Ethereal" {where ethereal wave marries jazz-fusion contaminations}.  Some months after Luigi entered studio again for an experimental song {to insert in an underground limited cd-compilation entitled "Florilegium Insaniae"}: "Under a Still Sun Kiss": song where cosmic sonorities and a languid singing {far away from his usual important, lyric way of doing it} find ideal completation in a soft and fairy-like Classic Music finale.  The months following are dedicated - between a commitment with a musical project and another - to the composition of new songs which have been part of a limited digipack mcd entitled "Else", lyrics of which face the anguishes behind the behaviour and concrete dialogue difficulties found in intimate relation for a man who badly relate himself with his ego and the social outward. Then Luigi continued the composition {started at the very beginning of this project} of Romantic music for grand piano, poetry reading and his official concept-full-length entitled "Thanaterotis Symposion": a monumental nostalgic gothic musical which - according to him {but we're sure he isn't wrong} - will mark definitively his career of avant-garde musician. Unluckily with Summer '03 Luigi suffered the loss of all his music written during the last years, due to a crash of his home-studio. Personally I tried to get data back, but it was all in vain since a short-circuit burnt all what was connected to the mainboard, so both the hard-disks included {Luigi kept backup on a separate one}. At the moment I'm happy to know he intends to start working on the musical again, although he's also working on a different new album, that's "Dans Les Fleurs de Velours Noir", to be precise a totally re-arranged and re-recorded version of an old {analogic} work from his still unpublished piano-oriented repertoire, halfway between enchanting Romantic and virtuous Jazz piano, with the addiction of several new tracks and - I can assure - some amidst his more inspired visionary and decadent poems.

LUIGI M.MENNELLA – short biography by F. Sconchi Altamura  Simply complex: that’s the nature of this artist from Tuscany. After having completely repudiated the painting, his total interest in avantgarde music brought him to create some of the most interesting {and often the least understood} research music both in structured song form and in contemporary expression. Very skilled in piano playing {even if we must remember he’s a polyinstrumentalist}, a tenor voice {discovered by the Romanian soprano, Lucia Stǎnescu / P. Mascagni Conservatory of Livorno}, a deep interpretation of lyrics {Luigi’s also author of disconcerting hermetic writing, going over his father * footsteps} and above all a profound aptitude to experimentation joined to a boundless inventiveness make each new work of his always different and stimulating.
