Guardian Unlimited | Archive Search Madonna and Britney may not be unduly worried, but Fischerspooner and their fellow travellers in the movement dubbed "electroclash" are shaping up to make the charts a more interesting place this year. Electroclash aligns itself with the tradition of stylish, charismatic and outlandish pop performers. If it seems too good to be true, then perhaps it is. Electroclash's most vociferous champions have been the international style press and fashionistas (Levi's even produced a limited edition pair of Fischerspooner jeans), an unholy alliance that would make your average record-buyer cock a suspicious eyebrow. www.guardian.co.uk /Archive/Article/0,4273,4378739,00.html   (1378 words)

Turns of Phrase: Electroclash Its beginning, at least in terms of journalistic attention and appearances of the name in newsprint, was at the Electroclash festival held in New York in October 2001. Listening to electroclash, at times, is like burrowing into a wormhole that exits somewhere near 1985. The scene label “Electroclash” is vulgar and ridiculous (mere “Electro”; isn’t enough for alternative types, they need to validate it with a suffix which imbues it with a violence and rebel chic it doesn’t merit), but its reluctant leaders, New York’s Fischerspooner, have turned vulgarity and ridiculousness into art forms. www.worldwidewords.org /turnsofphrase/tp-ele4.htm   (234 words)

The House of Diabolique vs. "Electroclash" Electroclash is more an extension of punk and new wave than actual electro, and if you ask an electroclash artist who their influences are, they're sure not to name any of the electro artists I mentioned above. The leader of an electroclash band, now disbanded, once remarked to me (after I gave him a CD of electro) how stupid he thought the lyrics to 'Body Mechanic' by Quadrant Six were. Electroclash couldn't even sustain the club it started in, Luxx, and in its third year the electroclash festival had to rename itself because so many of the artists labeled "electroclash" didn't want, never asked for, and resented that label. www.houseofdiabolique.com /archives/crobar121503.html   (892 words)

Electroclash Electroclash is a contemporary music genre that fuses new wave, punk, & electronic dance music. The movement combines this sound with visuals from post-1970s Westwood & Warhol fashion and art scenes. Lyrics are generally punk inspired, often angry and more given to emotion than technique. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/el/Electroclash.html   (60 words)

Electroclash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Electroclash describes a style of fashion, music, and attitude that fuses New Wave, punk, and electronic dance music with somewhat campy and absurdist post-industrial detachment in addition to vampy and/or camp sexuality. Electroclash, a form of music known predominantly underground undesirables and misfits spawned in the late 1990s in the Hague, Munich, Berlin, New York City, and Detroit. Tee's early electroclash parties were defined by undesireables of society such as transsexuals, cocaine, a crowd dressed in revealing 1980s- sub-culture clothing. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Electroclash   (956 words)

Boston's Weekly Dig: Music: Electroclash   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) Electroclash is one of those media-friendly buzz words that publicists and lame music writers like to use. I assume that most of us, unlike Larry, don’t turn to the bands considered to be part of the electroclash genre out of necessity, per se, but perhaps more out of the sense that the music is intriguing, even if not always that musically complex. An act like Peaches, for example, is little more than a woman recording her sexual fantasies to a steady backbeat; and yet anybody who has been to her live shows would probably fight you if you tried to dispute her talent. www.weeklydig.com /articles/electroclash   (1125 words)

Electroclash: In Limousines We Have Sex/In NYC We Have Clash - Article - Stylus Magazine When electroclash broke on a large scale at the end of last year, fashion was already waiting for it. Electroclash, then, is extremely powerful and certainly not to be taken for granted or downplayed or ignored. Maybe attempting to dissect electroclash is foolish in and of itself – the music, the scene, the hype is inherently connected. stylusmagazine.com /feature.php?ID=18   (3744 words)

Electropalooza How Electroclash, the festival, went in the course of one year from must-see-event-of-the-millennium for members of the global avant-cool to something the readership of Spin magazine might find kind of passé can almost certainly be attributed to a single factor: hype. In fact, Electroclash, in terms of the changes it has undergone in the short time since its inception, bears a striking resemblance to last decade's trend-setting music festival, Lollapalooza. If Electroclash were truly dedicated to the advancement of avant-garde electronic music, it would allow more obscure acts to headline, banking on its name to garner them notice (and it is, to its credit, doing that to a certain extent this year by putting the relatively un-hyped Tracy and the Plastics on the marquee). www.freewilliamsburg.com /october_2002/electroclash.html   (1177 words)

This Is Electroclash In the busy, encumbered universe of electroclash compilations, This Is Electroclash distinguishes itself from its competitors with its original approach of paralleling the pioneers of the genre with the new wave. The first disc gives a rather representative survey of the new electroclash scene while the second stresses the influential electronic groups of the Eighties. For the 21st century, the unavoidable Ladytron and Felix Da Housecat rub shoulders with a majority of lesser known artists, which is the strength of this opus whereas others keep on endlessly repeating Ladytron, Miss Kittin, Felix Da Housecat and Goldenboy in more or less different order. www.plume-noire.com /music/releases/electroclash.html   (511 words)

Creative Loafing - Creative Loafing Atlanta: Vibes: Feature: Electroclash titans   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) And for these people it truly is the center of the world: the world of Electroclash, a musical and artistic movement deceivingly tagged retro whose time is very much now. At Luxx, the crowd is hyperaware that Electroclash -- which synchronizes the visual culture, accoutrements and personalities of post-punk, synth-pop, new wave and the New Romantics with theatrical performances and the thump of an 808 drum machine -- is as much about fashion and attitude as music. If there's an act poised to become the global figurehead of Electroclash, it would probably be Fischerspooner, a part-pop band/part pop-art performance troupe that undulates with a quintessentially Electroclash blend of new wave melodies, bouncingly accented beats and electro-funk bass pulses, bridging gaps from OMD and Human League to Wire to Off-Broadway production numbers. atlanta.creativeloafing.com /2002-06-05/vibes_feature.html   (1845 words)

The Austin Chronicle Music: This Is Electroclash: The 'nu wave' of Euro-influenced synth music From Donnie Darko to music's biggest new buzzword, "electroclash," there's no escaping the Eighties, which is back with a vengeance, lurking around every corner. The hallmarks of Electroclash™, a term Tee actually trademarked, are a preponderance of vocoders, "Blue Monday"-like basslines and beats, and an element of outlandishness like that of the "Emerge"ing Fischerspooner, whose gender-bending, occasionally lip-synched performances are closer to a fashion show than a rock concert. Also lumped into electroclash is Detroit's Adult., whose shouty, art-punk take on the genre belies the aggressive electro-pulse beneath. www.austinchronicle.com /issues/dispatch/2003-04-25/music_feature.html   (1100 words)

Green Galactic | Larry Tee Larry Tee, the organizer of Electroclash™ 2001/2002 and head of Mogul Electro Records, is the loudest champion of the Electroclash/nu-Electro scene and this year is working to bring Electroclash 2003™ across America and Europe. The original Electroclash™ compilation of artists that Larry Tee put together came out in 2001 on Mogul Electro and has gone on to be an important document of the festival and of the movement. Last year the term Electroclash couldn’t be traced with an Internet search and now there are too many to load. www.greengalactic.com /larrytee.html   (782 words)

The Electroclash Movement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10) Finally, a comparable movement, labeled the Electroclash Movement, is emerging; this time around, musicians are fusing punk-inspired dance music with an interest in fashion and art. Their retro electro sound champions the aggressive energy of the city in a way that recalls the 1970s art-punk duo Suicide. Perhaps the godfather of the new Electroclash Movement, the performance art collective Fischerspooner has been on the scene since 1998. www.trendcentral.com /trends/trendarticle.asp?tcArticleId=200   (422 words)

Eye Weekly - Electroclash backlash - 06.13.02 Last fall, when New York streets were blanketed with posters proclaiming the arrival of a "new" genre thanks to the then-impending Electroclash festival, purists responded with their own stickers: "Electroclash could be the next grunge! Nevertheless, electroclash stuck as a marketable term, and suddenly the mass media was all over the flamboyant movement, going gaga over such New York art-gallery stalwarts as Fischerspooner and A.R.E. Weapons. They've even registered their disgust on wax, with a recent single, "Paranoid Vision" on the compilation Misery Loves Company, boasting the line: "Brand new kicks/Makes me sick," a hype-deflating jab at the electroclash phenomenon. www.eye.net /eye/issue/issue_06.13.02/thebeat/adult.html   (825 words)
