timothy java drumming on “rise, start, go!” by modernsextrash
when modernsextrash found its core members and the group began to gell as musicians “rise, start, go!” was our first crack at huddling together in a rehearsal studio and manifesting music. although a little more raw and live than the first release and where the band is currently going musically, i feel there is a sense of excitement and nervousness in these tracks that makes them pretty special! i hope it was obvious and people enjoyed the fact that we were total NOOBS!
you can see how my personal n00bery and drumming has evolved by viewing some more recent rehearsal footage of “rise, start, go!” on my youtube page.
ps – this video for “thing” goes out to my man john waltmann of four letter lie and 2012 threads. it’s his favorite (so far) modernsextrash song and for the last few years john has become a favorite dude of mine.

Ourstage and The Next Electronic Prodigy modernsextrash
pic from ourstage.com
Ourstage.com recently added modernsextrash to their playlist for a blog post entitled “The Next Electronic Prodigy.” By using the British act “The Prodigy” and the release of their new record “Invaders Must Die” (which also features Dave Grohl) as an example of just how powerful artists in the electronic niche can be, @ourstage has some great things to say about new artists finding success within their site. Ourstage more recently included us in yet another blog post entitled “Hey! You Got Electronica in my Rock Music!” modernsextrash is included in audio examples on their playlist.
Ourstage has been one of my favorite sites to reach new fans on. It takes the cake for one of the most interactive and personally rewarding promotional tools for any band looking to connect with lots and lots of artists or possible fans in the DIY realm.
As of november 29th, modernsextrash is the 8th most popular fan club in the experimental category. Check out the modernsextrash fan club to see Ourstage.com in action.

“a new day” by four letter lie now out on victory records
i recently had the pleasure of jamming on the new four letter lie album called “a new day” with producer matt goldman in atlanta, georgia. this is the 3rd release under victory records for these great friends of mine and i couldn’t be more stoked to help them pull this whole thing together in the amount of time that was allowed.
the reality and pressures of forcing organization upon your in the moment creativity skills is an aspect of professional music that i have both enjoyed and loathed. this pressure or stress to perform or create under the microscope can be a sure turn away for most, but if you can focus that energy into a part of the creative process often times, it kicks ass when its all said and done.
i captured some content from the earliest stages of song creation on this project which can be viewed on my youtube or vimeo page. please purchase the final album out now from itunes, amazon or order the package straight from victory to check out how the tunes evolved within a matter of a few weeks!!
