04/12/2008: KANIA TIEFFER, Dressed In Wires, Radgepackets @ The End Distraction proudly presents. . . KANIA TIEFFER + Dressed In Wires, Radgepackets, DJ Search Warrant @ The End, Newcastle-upon-Tyne 4th December 2008, 8pm start Join us on Facebook and last.fm. KANIA TIEFFER Hailing from France but now residing in the United States Of Belgium, Kania has been cacking out pleasantly disturbed lo-fi "almost danceable funny music" from her Brussels' laboratory since 2005 with cheap children's keyboards, a battered old computer and an electric guitar. The music itself is a spewed and spurting mishmash of fake nonsense r'n'b and vitriolic electropop that handily provides scant reference points. After some web-eps, 7" singles and tracks in a few compilations, she released her debut album on Bordeaux's Wwilko records, following that up with recordings on her own Uhh Records imprint. The otter-fixated maiden has toured all around Europe, and now Distraction brings her to Newcastle for your pleasure. Kania Tieffer website | Kania Tieffer myspace DRESSED IN WIRES DiW's Simondo Topless drags you bleeding and kicking through a tumult of Laptronica, Post-Gabba, Blip-Hop, Glitch-Hop, Chip-Hop, 8-bitronica, Wreckstep, Kronk, Bootmash, Breakcunt, Dub-Bass Splattercore, Harsh Clunge, Fuckstep, Thugstep, Powerpop, Noisewhore, and Wrongtronica, not in any order. All from his souped-up, heavily modded, hacked & cracked laptop, precariously wired together with a few guitar distortion pedals and delapidated Midi tomfoolery. Playing live, it’s a whole other mighty kettle of fish; rarely pretty, never a beauty contest. Now that fans have actually started bringing in their own unwanted computer equipment for DiW to physically and emotionally abuse, things can only get bloodier.

This takes place tonight! Cor! As the boy put it: "amazing gig at the end bar for people who like to dance, hear good alternative music and laugh their tits off to really wrong humor". Here's the gal herself: Reet up. And here's Radgepackets, who I didn't mention earlier in this thread: Radgepackets are a talentless trio of sample stealing, tune pinching and melody wrecking a-moral wrong-uns. A bunch of washed up rave rejects entrenched in the past dwelling on how things once were in the glory days of growing up, they are the no holds barred, no sample is sacred, filesharing, originality stealing, amoral misfits who revel in opportunistic shock factor, who love dressing up, playing the bongos (badly) and presenting you with an audiovisual feast straight from the wrong side of Fritzl's dungeon! Pure scraping-the-barrel re-hash-mash-up mixing classic horror soundtracks, horror-core rap and gabbafied rave shit, Radgepackets are the original gangsters (O.G's) of the Nostalgia-Core scene. See the brand new video to their now infamous celebrity-pedo-core set aka pedo-gedddon the musical tribute to Chris morris's 'Brass eye' which was originally aired at the Backlash Bad Taste night in 2007 minus the video. We will also be playing a cover of Kate Perry controversial no 1 hit..'I fucked a corpse and i liked it' and a mashup piece called WE HATE R'N'B...do not miss!
