Stripmall Architecture / Feathersongs by kilk
Stripmall Architecture formed when Ryan and Rebecca Coseboom’s previous band, Halou, dissolved. The expanded band includes Tim Hingston (guitar), Patrick Harte (drums), Erica ‘Unwoman’ Mulkey (cello), and other supporting musicians for their live shows and recording sessions. The band used the service Kickstarter to generate funds to produce their new LP, Feathersongs For Factory Girls. Part one was released in April 2010, and part two followed a year later in 2011. Both parts were released together on a limited numbered edition double 10″ LP on white vinyl in early 2011.

Radium Girls are actually the girls that painted the watches that glow in the dark for a company way back in the old days and they used Radium paint and didn’t know the danger. They would lick the brush to moisten it and it messed them up pretty badly. The company didn’t care and they told the female workers that the paint they used was harmless even though it gave them radiation poison, deformed some and gave them terrible illnesses and death.

FlyKkiller – “Flykklr” (live @ Red Banana Club)
Published March 27, 2011 | I came across this live vid of FlyKkiller – decent live ones are hard to find; it was totally accident, after visiting Lesley de Freitas site where she had a link to “Shine Out Shine Out” by the band. The whole thing got started when I saw this shot (on Diane Pernet’s site) of a crazy outfit I would love to have:
Lesley de Freitas is a Central Saint Martins graduate that cut her teeth at BOUDICCA and worked designing on a commercial level for a high street wholesaler/supplier before launching her own brand. She also lectures in fashion and does illustration part time. The current collection is inspired by Bill Viola's work - St John of the Cross. She was introduced to the work by Howard Tangye.
Explosions In The Sky
Published February 3, 2011 | Bio:
In February 1999, three longtime friends from West Texas went to a pizza place in Austin, Texas, for a prearranged meeting with a young man from Illinois. The Illinoisan had just moved to Austin, and he had put up a flyer that caught the interest of the others. They ate pizza and discussed movies and arcana. They also decided to meet the next day with their various instruments (two guitars, bass, and drums). This happened, and over the coming months they picked a band name, then picked a better band name, then wrote and recorded an album. That album, called How Strange, Innocence, was largely out of tune, but the band members didn’t really notice at the time. They optimistically printed 300 copies, and gave most of them away. It turned out they really liked playing together, so they kept doing so. A friend of theirs sent a recording of one of their live shows to a record label in Baltimore, and that label offered to put out albums for the band. The band agreed. A year later they put out a second album (Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever). They began to tour often, all over the world. In 2003 another album came (The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place), and in 2007 they put out their most recent, All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone. They are shocked to see that their 10-year anniversary is on the horizon…
