unfusion live summer 2005 tour

by
story by Betty Kang ~ Infusion returns to the U.S. after a rousing main stage amphitheater performance at Ultra Festival during Winter Music Conference and a host of international festival tour dates this summer. Infusion is now poised to preview songs from the album on this U.S. summer tour with the long-anticipated U.S. release of Six Feet Above Yesterday in late summer 2005 on Thrive Records (SONY Red).

Their new artist album, already voted “Best 50 Albums of 2005” in Rolling Stone - Australia, has just been released in the UK on the revered, resurrected dance music label Deconstruction. The album was initially scouted by Mike Pickering of M People (now head of A&R at SONY BMG) to re-launch the defunct label once home to M People, Kylie Minogue, Sasha and Robert Miles.

In other news, Infusion have recently remixed one of their heroes The Cure. As longtime fans, the band is ecstatic that the remix has been approved by Robert Smith. The track “The Walk” was originally on The Cure album 'Japanese Whispers' and released as a single in 1983. The Infusion remix will be part of the 'Future Retro' compilation out on July 19th on Rhino Records/Warner Music (USA) featuring remixes of New Order, Echo & The Bunnymen, Morrissey and Devo by today’s hottest electronic artists like Infusion, Scissor Sisters, Crystal Method, Richard X, and Swayzak etc. Infusion's remix skills are obviously highly prized - they've also been busy working on a remix for UK act El Presidente, who are currently on tour with Oasis.

The band’s own vinyl imprint came under scrutiny from the unhappy camera people and have subsequently changed their name to Music For Vinyl. Infusion’s album/singles on vinyl will be made available here. The next release will be “Natural” with exciting remixes TBC.

Other prominent Infusion festival dates this summer include the Exit Festival (Serbia) with Underworld, Wireless Festival (Hyde Park London), Avrika (Sweden) and Dance Valley (Amsterdam). INFUSION are Jamie Stevens, Frank Xavier & Manuel Sharrad.

d returns to the jam

  The Saturday Open Jam has been missing from our agenda for quite some time now.  It is one the best ways to burn up a Saturday afternoon in Kansas City, listening to some of the best rock and blues musician in town.  This particular occasion featured the return of a longtime resident of the event who had been off the roster for more than year following multiple personal crises, one of which nearly ended his ability to perform at all.  Taking his spot behind the drums once again for a couple of tunes, "D" picked up right where he left off, keeping cadence as if nothing had ever happened.  There were tears among some of the crowd that were closer to him, understanding the extent of his dilemma.  After playing, he admitted stumbling a few times, but everything sounded great from our side of the stage and we look forward to seeing him play again more often.

heptalogy honors eclipse

A random encounter found us in downtown Little Rock, anticipating a performance of Holst's "The Planets" by the  Arkansas Symphony Orchestra .  The much-anticipated event included a vocal cameo from the University of Arkansas - Little Rock Women's Choir.  An evening of colorful sound began with "Night Ferry" by Anna Clyne , exploring the extremes of manic depression.   The chaotic range of emotional intensities seemed to leave the audience in a state of bewildered fascination. After an intermission wide enough to refresh mind and body, "The Planets" by Gustav Holst exploded in the mind's eye next.  This particular space heptalogy is likely one of the most recognizable symphonies, enjoyed through a variety of inspirations like the score from Star Wars.  The choir entered near the end, perhaps at Neptune, blending in imperceptibly with the violins and their accompaniment.   Their voices appeared as if by magic from behind the sc
