A decade of dancefloor domination by Yoko Ono’s alter-club-ego, Ono, comes full circle with the release of brand new remixes of her seminal 1981 club/new wave classic “Walking On Thin Ice”. Clubs ignited instantly upon the first notes of the chugging disco bassline, grinding new wav guitars and Yoko’s signature “ay, ay, ay, ay …”  Fast forward to 2003 and major remixes of the single by Danny Tenaglia, Pet Shop Boys, Peter Rauhofer and Felix Da Housecat kicking off Ono’s streak of 10 #1 club hits including “Talking To The Universe”, “I’m Not Getting Enough”, “No No No” and her last chart topper “Hold Me”. Now serving up the first round of the club classic fresh, hot and new for 2013 are master house chefs Ralphi Rosario, Dave Aude and Emjae all giving it their own significant spin.

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.

BAD DANCER

When your heart is dancing 
Your mind is bouncing
Bounce bounce bounce bounce

I'm a bad dancer
A busy bouncer 
Never touch the ground 
Never make a sound 

I’m a tough lover 
A sweet pusher 
Writing my life with sand 
Waiting too see the land 

Place your bets 
Watch your step 
I’m a bad dancer 
With no regrets 

Break a leg 
Cut the thread 
I’m a bad dancer 
Full speed ahead 

I’m a bad dancer 
You’re a bad dancer 
He’s a bad dancer 
Bad bad bad 

I’m a fast mover 
A straight shooter 
I might bend 
To see the end 
Never say never 
Cause its never ‘never’

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.
