The Front 242 gig a few weeks back was great! Apparently the last time they'll tour in Canada / US too, so definitely lucked out there in grabbing tickets when I did despite the original cancelled tour dates. Smaller, packed intimate club show, great sound, relentless bass, impressive visuals of course, the energy was crazy, and was very much needed. Putting things into perspective, Front 242, at their current ages, were certainly better than most rock shows I've seen. Refreshing even. 40 years on (!!), they would run a pretty tight ship right? Great to see younger & diverse audience members into the sounds as well. Rhys Fulber was the opening dj on a few of the 242 tour stops, including Vancouver, BC, & Montreal, Quebec. There were people screaming 242 lyrics back at the band like they were at a hardcore punk show. lol. That sort of caught me off guard, ha. Over all, a good time. I was a bit shell shocked in the aftermath of the gig to be honest. That energy was wild.

[Statto]

doens't really count as EBM but I've been listening to a lot of Fad Gadget recently

^^ Gadget had serious fans in the early western Canadian sounds - Psyche (Edmonton, Alberta), pre-Skinny Puppy related band, Puppy themselves, etc.

YO.. there's this!

Portion Control "Great Divide", very New Order in appeal.

As posted via Psyche's youtube channel.

Psyche, on local Edmonton, Alberta tv from 1983. A pre- Skinny Puppy, Dwayne Goettel whom was originally from Edmonton. SImilarly Puppy's, Nivek Ogre was originally from Calgary, Alberta.

As we speak, Skinny Puppy on their final tour.

I just watched this.

Laibach were funny. Backxwash gets a mention, cool. I'm generally a fan of specific Trash Theory youtube channel posts - depending on the focus, including this. Overall, this one isn't bad.

Pop. Dance. Grit. Camp. Industrial. Thrill Kill Kult. etc. I think it is important to mention Youth in so many eras of the topic, but Sherwood gets a mention.

So, the local annual industrial / ebm festival has Nitzer Ebb in town playing an intimate club show this week. I was considering buying tickets but didn't follow through. I'm picky with my Nitzer Ebb moments, and I do prefer their outside collaborations to much of their later catalog for sure.  The event did sell out tho, so good on the local promotion group.

On the other hand, Skinny Puppy just announced a few more NA gigs for their final tour jaunt, and YES, I got tickets to the show in November. Hell yeah. Should be interesting.

Dj Slicing Up Eyeballs played this Ebb, William Orbit remix on his Darkwave radio show last weekend. Good classic Orbit remix from back in the day. "Backlash" William Orbit remix, via Mute Records, 1989.

Blush Response, Bon Harris collaboration released earlier this year, April 2023. 

Djedjotronic, McCarthy collab via "Take Me Down", from 2018.  Solid remixes for the tune, a fave being the Broken English Club remix.
