POSR interview With Designer Drugs

Houston – Feb 12, 2010 – Larry Tee with Toy Selecta, POSR, Ceeplus Bad Knives, Damon Allen & Grrrl Parts DJs @ The Back Room

Yes its confirmed Larry Tee will be Joining us for our Texas tour celebrating the New Single “Cocaine Nose Job” from the up coming album “Known Unknown” From POSR

The reviews are in for Club Badd, the debut album of original material from DJ Larry Tee. DJ Mag declares Larry the “Andy Warhol of dance music” and describes the sound as “packing more attitude than Lily Allen on a bad hair day.” NME describes it as a vivacious mix of booty bass and disposable techno” and gives it a 6 star rating..and his picture and interview is top left on DMC update with an interview in IDJ, a feature in M8, as well as amazing coverage in Playboy, Q, Time Out London and New York, the cover of London’s BOYZ, the cover of NYC’s HX, and way too many to mention. But the positive reviews have created a buzz like no other time in Larry Tee’s legendary career! So now…… Welcome To Club Badd!

Club Badd is the name of New York nightclub legend Larry Tee’s album that features some of the world’s most over-sized personalities and is a celebration of the YouTube generation. With appearances by Princess Superstar, Perez Hilton, Roxy Cottontail, Amanda LePore, Hervé, Sébastien Léger, Tomboy, Afrojack (Laidback Luke and Diplo are playing his “Let’s Make Nasty” mix), Fukkk Offf, Chewy Cholcolate Cookies, Princess Julia, Christopher Just, Mel Merio, Jodie Harsh, Jeffree Star, and 7-year-old video star Amanita, it is by far the most outrageous collection EVER! The Club Badd assault started with the UK single release of his collaboration with Princess Superstar called “Licky.” Already a chart hit in Germany and Australia, it features slamming mixes by Hervé, Vandalism, Sébastien Léger, and Kris Menace and as well as a special guest appearance by Santigold on the version used on the Steve Aoki album. It has been played by everyone: Justice, Erol Alkan, Armand Van Helden, Laurent Garnier, Judge Jools, Pete Tong, Steve Aoki (it’s on his top 20 Billboard Electronic Album), and it’s on Ed Banger’s Busy P mix CD. The second single, “I Love U” is already being used as an intro for Steve Aoki and MSTRKRFT’s live sets with a Ghostface Killer vocal drop, as well as being banged by super-jock Jesse Rose. Club Badd, which is out now, is not only a dance party album extrodinaire, but it is also like “YouTube/Myspace.com, The Musical.” It harnesses the energy of the world’s current fascination with all the madness of the internet generation.

Larry Tee hails from Atlanta, Georgia where he was friends with REM and his first group, the Fans, produced the B-52s’ first independent single “Rock Lobster/52 Girls.” He moved to NYC with fellow Atlantans RuPaul and Lady Bunny and quickly took over the NYC club scene with his epic party Love Machine. He started and named the infamous DISCO 2000 of Party Monster movie fame, DJ’ed the ROXY weekly, and co-wrote the Billboard Top 40 song Rupaul’s “Supermodel (You Better Work).” In 1997 Larry Tee got clean from drugs and alcohol and decided to re-examine his life and career. He turned to music for inspiration and championed a new sound and movement which became the Electroclash phenomenon. He created the term “Electroclash” for his festivals in 2001/2002 (it’s in the Oxford English Dictionary) which helped launch the careers of Scissor Sisters, Felix Da Housecat, 2 Many DJs/Soulwax, Peaches and many more.

Fast forward to 2009 and we see Larry Tee traveling all over the world bringing his unique sound and exclusive tracks to festivals and cool nightclubs worldwide. He has played alongside Kraftwerk, The Gorillas, New Order, LCD Soundsystem, N*E*R*D, Chemical Brothers, The Cure, Katy Perry and Fatboy Slim in festivals like Bennicassim, Global Gathering, Mysterylands, Primavera, and Summercase and his international schedule has grown with his Beatport success (The Crooker’s have his new single in their top 10 on Beatport). New videos for “Licky”, “I Love U” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqgC6VYwH3M), the Perez Hilton’s track, Hipster Girl and Amanda Lepore plus an exclusive re-edit of Kelly’s “Shoes” for YouTube give the the album a visual side like no other album today! The next single, “I Love U,”  featuring 7-year-old Amanita has already been remixed by Bart B More, Christopher Just, and The Bulgarian and has just been released worldwide. Club Badd is set to be the “Girls Gone WIld” of 2009, meaning the runaway surprise hit that took the country by storm. Join Club Badd and make this the year of the Party People!!

An Interview With Richard Henry

Richard Henry Interview from POSR on Vimeo.

illson:
we’re here at House Wine on 408 Josephine to talk with a local scenester in the Austin music scene. Now people say that Austin is the music capital of the world. That’s so because of the work of these people. His name’s Richard Henry, and we’re going to ask him a handful of questions so that you get to know him a little better.

So, Richard Henry – in what way do you contribute to Austin’s music scene?

RH:
Ummm, I book a bunch of shows in town, usually talent-scouting around looking for new things that people will like – stuff that I listen to in my ipod – new music – and just bringing in new music from other cities into town and also doing the same exact thing … exporting and importing basically music. It’s kind of like coffee, but with music.

illson:
Do you have a production company, or a promo company, or anything we can recognize by name?

RH:
Yeah, I have this promotional company called Platypus Promotions. It kind of happpened by default, like everything else I do, and just had to create something to be more ‘professional,’ and it’s pretty much caters to everything, like all kinds of different genres of music. Umm, it’s everything ’cause a platypus is a little bit of everything. So is the company, its A & R … it’s different stuff. I don’t know how to explain it. It deals with reggae, umm … hip-hop, rap, umm … street music, dance music, umm … punk rock, rock. Pretty much everything that tickles my ear.

illson:
Do you still like music?

RH:
Absolutely NO! No, I love music. I’ve been into music since I was like a kid kicking it in my mom’s womb – to the beat, ‘woom buncha boom’ – so I’m a pretty big fan.

illson:
Any particular bands that you’re really into right now?

RH:
Umm … actually, yeah, there’s a few bands. There’s a band I found that out plays across my street. There called the Hex Dispensers. They’re really good. They’re garage, punk rock style. Another band is Fingaar Bangaar. They’re amazing. They’re part of Insect Records, by Butcher Bear & Charlie. They’re pretty good. And … I don’t know. That’s about it for local type bands and stuff.

illson:
Aside from money, what other essential traits should a promoter have?

RH:
You should do it because you like it. You shouldn’t do it just for the money. If you’re doing it for the limelight, (or) being on the cover of some local ‘zine or something like that, you’re doing it for the wrong reasons… Basically what I’m trying to say is that basically you shouldn’t mind about the money because the money will come if you stick with it, and just stick with something you like doing, because nobody wants to work a nine to five job. Fuck that.

illson:
What has been your creative outlet as of late?

RH:
My dj’ing. I used to be in a band a long time ago. We broke up. (So) Dj’ing. Trying to get into music production, and trying to recreate kind of like, uh … I don’t know how to explain it. Kind of like a garage type sounding music right now, I’m working on. And that’s basically how I got the promotion company. I have to create posters and all that stuff, and help people out of situations – so I could buy more gear. Basically that’s how I ended up (with it), by default. That’s pretty much it right now.

illson:
Finally, Seth Rogen or Bill Murray?

RH:
Bill Murray!

illson:
Allright. that’s one hot minute with Richard Henry of Platypus Productions. Keep an eye out for his work in the city and say hello when you see him. Thanks, Richard.

RH:
Platypus Promotions!

illson:
Platypus Promotions. Thank you, Richard.

RH:
You’re welcome.

XX at CMJ With suprise Apperance by The Golden Filter

Well it was fri and me and Sicca were feening for something to do..  already Post Op and appeased by the new york bagel gods, we were going to meet up with Adam Warped and Chris Casual  to go to  Hercules And Love Affair but we decided to go out and about with  our  very uber hip  friend / business associate /manager and over most of all awesome guy.. Traey Hatch .. He told us that we should come check out this band XX and meet up with our new found friend Myles Grosovsky of Sneak Attack Media

well anyyywaysssss… enough of the  name dropping and tag indexing lets move back to the story at hand..

So we get on the subway (Imagine That) and head toward the hotel. and arrive greeted by yer typical are you on the list douche bag to tell us that we were at the wrong place. So 2 block later we arrived to smiling faces that greeted and checked if we were on the list  and so we entered the   beautiful but yet to be packed hotel.

As we walked down the stairs we heard the oh familiar but faint sounds of a DJ coming form downstairs, im assuming it was in the basement of the hotel but what the hell do i know. So after Sicca decided to get her 17 dollar glass of wine in a plastic cup  we decided to hit the dance floor. it was packed but not yet to packed and it was a little odd cause the music wasn’t up very loud.. So after all that it start`ed to fill up more and more and more.. and it wouldn’t stop. So naturally the music became louder which i might add there was a Dj Tag team That caught my ear playing Indie dance To Electro to Disco There names were Dave And Josh Of  Fixed NYC so after a few waddles on the dance floor i naturally had to pee right when the place was filled but on my way to the pisser low and behold  whom did i see  could this be  ….

Yes YES yeS it was! it was Penelope Of The Golden FilterI felt like a school boy telling her how im such a big hugeee fan.. hahha   what can ya do when i like something i like something.. anyways so back to the floor  and we met up with miles chatted for a tad and the dj music turned down  and the  band XX started to come on..

YOU COULD BARLEY HEAR THEM…  as we all looked in astonishment  as how they turned off all the speakers in the back  and only the staeg speakers we became quite  restless. i liked what i heard but just couldn’t hear it very well so we decided to make like a banana and split!..

On my way out the facilities  i was greeted again by Penelope and Stephen of The Golden Filter so naturally asked them when they were coing back to Austin they said probably SXSW. So i said goodbyes and we wandered off into the Manhattan night  all in one piece.

THE END

P.S. so Chris Casual and Adam Warped were dancing the night away with trannys!
UGGG i would have paid to see this! Jealous!

Back to the Beauty Bar – and So Far

Next week we’re headed back to the Beauty Bar, where POSR had its second show ever. This made me reflect a bit on the ride so far. On that first Beauty Bar show, Jake played his DJ set and then slipped in the two formative POSR songs at the end of his set. The band members were three, and one was a girl. The rest of the night’s entertainment were DJ’s, many of whom were our friends. We had a good response – especially to the girl. I thought, ‘hmm – this could work.’

Nowadays we find ourselves playing with other bands. There are five members now, and all of them guys. Two bass players instead of one, and Jake uses a microphone and a megaphone instead of a laptop. We have someone handling the programs, and someone else handling the house sound. We have a good set of fully fleshed songs; we have many promising songs in the works. We’re working with some top flight producers – people we’ve admired and respected and are now collaborating with.

The response has been mostly good, except for the odds shows where significant details beyond our control derailed us a bit. The one show at midnight on a Sunday, after playing the night before in another city – where we followed a pair of metal bands. The show in the plush, cavernous Houston bar where the P.A. system was disastrous. The good shows, however … well, I think you had to be there. You can look at the photos, or watch the videos, but its best to be there. Even I had fun – and I wasn’t even in the parties!

Its been a small adventure for me. I’ve relearned my string instruments; dealt with a record company; played in a gay bar in San Antonio. I’ve heard some great young bands, turned new band-mates into friends, and tried to find band-mates lost in the chaos of the night.

I’ve learned to try and be graceful in the face of disaster – and to enjoy the good moments when they come.

This week we’re headed to the Beauty Bar. It’s been quite a trip on our way back. I can’t wait to see what will happen now.

“I Found A Reason (Demo)”

“Sad Song (Demo)”

MAPS – Turning the Mind (Chris Casual’s review)

The new maps album, Turning the Mind, is definitely not to be missed. It has the dark, drug rock feel of an early to mid career Spiritualized record – organs and all!  However, it never feels too heavy or bogged down. It’s quite the opposite; with uplifting vocals, chord progressions, and strings, as heard on “I Dream of Crystal”, it is connotative to that of the polyphonic spree in it’s many moments of glee and ecstasy. It’s as if James Chapman, the man behind Maps, is killing himself in his pursuit of happiness; there is even a track entitled “Die Happy Die Smiling”. There are intense minimalist moments, such as the opening of “nothing” that make me want to cry like a Muse song sometimes makes me want to cry; but then Maps drops a nice beat with plenty of interesting, and sometimes dirty, synths to make me feel like dancing… and maybe crying and laughing too.

So many emotions come and go as I listen to Turning the Mind, but boredom is never one of them. It is a very cohesive work, which I never found any tracks that are there just as “fluff” or “fillers” in. The project has conquered one very big quality that I look for in music: two opposing sounds working synergistically to create something familiar yet so new that you can’t quite put your finger on why you love it so much. Turning the Mind is both dark and uplifting. It leaves me feeling warm with a tinge of cold shudders, like I just got home safely from a long, harrowing journey. This is an LP full of gems that I definitely recommend digging up.
