JOHNNY HOSTILE: ‘Jehnny’

PopNoire — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 20:37:00 +0000

Our label’s co-founder and in-house producer, Johnny Hostile, has released a new song with accompanying video. The video for ‘Jehnny’ was , funnily enough, made by Jehnny Beth of SAVAGES herself – just when you thought our little record label couldn’t get any more incestuous!

With this video also comes the great news that Johnny will be joining SAVAGES as their main support on their forthcoming UK and European tour, commencing tomorrow. Check out the video until the end for more details about the dates.

SAVAGES: Album Stream

PopNoire — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 20:55:00 +0000

Today SAVAGES made their forthcoming album ‘Silence Yourself’ available to stream online.

Their debut LP will be released in one week on Monday 6th May (7th in the US) and they will also be playing a live in-store gig at Rough Trade to celebrate. If you buy the album that day from the Shop you will receive a wristband to see the performance. More details HERE.

It is aso available to buy on vinyl and CD from the Pop Noire Shop.

The girls have put in so much hard work into this album and we’re so excited to release it into the wild next week. Enjoy!

SAVAGES: London Gig

PopNoire — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:14:17 +0000

SAVAGES have decided that Ministry Of Sound will be the chosen venue for the London date of their forthcoming UK and European tour. Hosting a post-punk gig in the mecca of commercial dance music?! Strange choice, eh? However, the girls have got something special up their sleeves for this event and all secrets will be revealed on the night. We’d love to see you there on the 9th May.

Support will come from our label’s beloved co-owner and SAVAGES‘ super producer, Johnny Hostile, who will be playing some weird, dark, experimental solo stuff – best described in his own words: “It’s a bit like Alan Vega, but better looking”.

Check out the poster below for more info. Ticket’s can be purchased HERE.

SAVAGES: ‘Shut Up’ Video

PopNoire — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:50:37 +0000

Just in case you havn’t seen it yet, SAVAGES have made a new video for ‘Shut Up’. The video, directed by Giorgio Testi, starts with a spoken word manifesto read by vocalist, Jehn, and then goes into the album opening track for their debut LP.

‘Silence Yourself’ will be released on 6th May 2013 through Pop Noire and Matador Records. You can pre-order your copy from our Shop.

SAVAGES: Words To The Blind

PopNoire — Sun, 21 Apr 2013 20:31:10 +0000

SAVAGES and BO NINGEN are teaming up to write and perform a SONIC SIMULTANEOUS POEM entitled ‘WORDS TO THE BLIND’ at THE RED GALLERY, LONDON – on May 29th.

This is an EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE of a unique EXPERIMENTATION inspired by the early DADA concept of SIMULTANEOUS POETRY – a situation where poems are recited simultaneously onstage in different languages “in such a way that the resulting combinations account for the total effect of the work, ELEGIAC, FUNNY or BIZARRE” quoting the leading Dada artist Hugo Ball.

THE SONIC SIMULTANEOUS POEM alludes to the purpose of bringing a solitary voice back to itself. The voice and sounds become immersed and must fight to be heard, and fight to find their path. The ineluctable rhythm and noise of the world threaten to destroy the individual, but it shows resistance. The figure stands amongst the cacophony.

Tickets are £10 can can be bought HERE.
Doors at 8pm – Performance at 9pm .

NOTES :
No entry after performance starts.
The event is likely to be filmed – we will kindly ask the audience to not film or take pictures of this event with their phones or cameras.
Tickets wont be available on the door so please buy in advance.
Ear plugs will be supplied.
