The 55th Flotilla

New design, new pages!

tub — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 23:42:00 +0000

Just finished the new 55th site design, hope you like it. If it looks a bit odd, it could be that you’re using Internet Explorer (*spits*). I highly recommend you get a modern, fast, browser if you are using the crock of shit that is IE.

Rant over.

Another thing we’ve done is added a Research Department to the 55th. This is where we’ll be putting all our little experiments, starting with our MIDI Exercise Bike.

Enjoy, T.

It’s talk like a pirate day! Have some free shantycore :)

Bangface Mix 2009

tub — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 08:55:58 +0000

Last year we posted a mix of everyone on the lineup of the Bangface Weekender, well we’ve done it again for this year’s lineup.

Yup, we’ve crammed all the artistes into a one hour mix. It took bloody ages to find tracks from everyone, but we think it sounds pretty good, mostly. Some of the mixes are a bit… forced, but let us know what you think.

Acetic Rubbish, ravey live improv

While getting ready for the erisian gig tomorrow I recorded this, it’s not finished but I quite like it… in a very cheesy derivitive kinda way

From zombie dubstep, to zombie MSN clients…

tub — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 13:44:19 +0000

A little while ago I wrote about an MSN virus/worm/nasty thing which posted me a link to [my MSN username].historyshotz.com, well it’s still happening! Only this time it’s posting links to various different domains, but it’s the same sort of thing.

Don’t enter your MSN login on these sites!

Some of the one’s I’ve come across recently are, [username].dealsjid.com, [username].holy-offers-batman.com, [username].fddofd.com, [username].so-cool-4u.com, but if any of your contacts start sending you random messages like ‘Hey [username], check out my photos’, then just dissapears offline don’t follow the links!

Gonna eat your brains

tub — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 16:24:52 +0000

A little while back I was watching Planet Terror, an awesome zombie movie by one of my favorite directors – Robert Rodriguez. Near the beginning I noticed a sample which I just had to use for the next Zombierama gig.

I started out writing a pretty cheesy techno tune, which just didn’t work. Then it started going more dubsteppy, which seemed to work a bit better, so I added some more breaks in and voila, ZombieRaveStep!

I call it, Gonna Eat Your Brains. <– click there to download it

Grab it while it’s hot, pulsating and covered in puss!

Teknoist @ Hectors House

tub — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 22:13:36 +0000

We’re playing alongside The Teknoist for Zombierama at Hectors House on the 15th of Febuary! It’s FREE entry again, and we’ll be banging out noises between 8pm – 1am.

Also on the lineup are Mrs Mountain Knows, Embedded and more (who I’ve completely forgotten, update coming soon)

It should be an awesome night, I’ve been listening to Teknoist’s new album, …Like a hurricane made of Zombies, loads the past few weeks, should be good to hear some of it live.

Also coming up we’ll have our 2009 Bangface festival mix up, I’m working on it as we speak so check back soon or subscribe to the podcast/feed. If you missed last year’s mix, basically we crammed a tune by everyone on the Bangface festival lineup into a 75 minute mix.

That’s 1.875 minutes per artist, in case you were wondering
