Assemblage 23

Tom Shear's long-term project has seen him rise from humble beginnings as an industrial fanatic to being one of the major players working in the darksynth genre today. Over the course of six full-lengths and just as many singles, Assemblage 23 has taken the dancefloors globally, by storm. Too many hit songs to mention (including the latest "Binary", which debuted at #21 on the Billboard US SINGLES chart), Assemblage 23's tracks are usually a dark but achingly beautiful electronic trip through regret, alienation and loss. Punchy and danceable, layered and complex with heartfelt lyrics, melodic synth sections, catchy dance beats, A23 is a beautifully twisted version of synthpop that listeners will find instantly appealling. While industrial is often seen as cold, agressive and mechanical in nature, Assemblage 23 proove that a human heart beats beneath the machines.

Assemblage 23 will be putting out a special limited edition (1000) CD of new recordings of some of the band's earliest works in conjunction with their upcoming US tour. The CD will ONLY be available on the US tour. The final track listing is as follows:

Live Intro 96

Mortuary

Anger

Chemical Restraint

Straightjacket

Ambush

Soma

The Angels Died

Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead

Underneath the Ice

My Burden

The Fissure King

Void

Reqiuem

Mark Nicholas

Mark Nicholas is a Detroit-based electronic musician, once well-known in the underground synthpop community as the man behind the band Cosmicity. Cosmicity was active from 1994-2003. Mark has shed the confines of pristine, 80’s-influenced synthpop for a modern hybrid electronic sound – a sound he calls Dirty Electronic. Flirting with electro, house, hip hop, synthpop and industrial Nicholas' new sound offers something diverse, fresh and different... or as he likes to explain it "Depeche Mode bitch-slaps Trent Reznor right after he finishes screwing Allison Goldfrapp on soiled Prodigy-themed bedsheets. Oh, and still a little like Cosmicity too."

I went. The crowd was in to it, which is good, I love A23. The sound however... well I'm not gonna go there. It looked as if people had a good time though.

Posted

I had fun too. I loved it when they blew the fuse. :-D!!!

Posted

I had a good time, i agree with the sound problems both candy and odims mentioned. I expected way more people though, I feel bad, bet they lost money or onlt broke even on that show.

I have seen them twice before... Both times I just wish they had more then the standard synthpop set up (singer,k-board,small drumpads) and I heard they did that again... Kinda glad I didn't go now... I love the music honestly... but what's the point if the sound is bad and there is not much to see?

Posted

There were some sound issues during a few songs, which was suprising as we've never had a problem with Small's before, and it is a popular concert venue, and a way better alternative to always booking shows at the Labyrinth. The problem was also dealt with quickly and the show continued, being the best performance from Tom Shear I've ever seen, looked like both the band and the crowd had a great time. One sound issue does not mean Small's is not a great venue and I hope to see everyone out for future shows, including Thrill Kill Kult coming in December.

      I know the feeling! So get this, when I was stuck in ABQ I decided to re-activate my phone. Now, for years I have been running a Straight Talk Mobile Hotspot for wifi instead of paying for actual phone service, because I get more data for 50 bucks on the wifi plan than I would get for the same price for my phone plan, and I don't call anybody very often if ever, so it only made sense. Well while I was in ABQ I got desperate and decided I needed to make some phone calls so I walked down to Walmart to get a  45 dollar plan for my phone, only to realize that I had to walk back to walmart again (4 miles one way) to get a new Sim card, because the one I had was too old, apparently...  Anyway, literally the second I reactivate my phone - I got a phone call from a frickin' debt collector!  I mean it was so instantaneous that I assimed it was Straight Talk calling to confirm my activation or something - instead it was somebody with a foreign accent that I could barely understand, asking for whoever the person was that previously had the phone number I had just been assigned. . . I was so irritated with this fact.    And yeah now I'm getting multiple calls, daily, from everybody and their brother, looking for whoever the person was that used to have this number.  Wells Fargo, AT&T, etc etc.    I think there needs to be some better way of doing this. Recycling phone numbers as fast as we do this day & age isn't working out very well. 🤷

      I have no idea why I'm even on all of these call lists that are on Robo-Dial by A.I.  One is a female voice and the other is a male voice and all they did was change the name that they give you.  I did get put through to a few live people to try to ask them to remove me from their list, but they, the telemarketer, hung up on me.   It's like I'm living "Telemarketers Revenge" for all the years of people handing up on them.   I always spoke with the telemarketer and then wished them a good day before hanging up.  And this is what I get for all of my decades of kindness.  I don't think I deserve this, but the World has lost a lot of the niceties that it used to have when I was growing up.  And no...COVID did not cause this.  I'm also getting tired of that excuse.  Its been 6 years!  People felt they were given the Green Light to be anti-social and rude to your face and now it is part of society just like everything else Mainstream adopts and considers it a cultural add-on.   I just hope I can survive this onslaught of calls blowing up my phone until it dies down.  Else, I will place a block on my number and only allow calls from family, friends and medical associated with my job.

      This is crazy.   I had to mute my phone because I am getting 50+ calls a day regarding Life Insurance, Medical Insurance, Burial Benefits, a Senior Food Expense Card, a Senior Social Security monthly reimbursement benefit, etc., and I don't qualify for any of it.  I don't even meet the age requirement.   At current, I have 53 missed calls and 38 of them were from yesterday.
