Gonzales - I Am Europe (new single & video!)

Patient, we've been, since last getting word of what the eclectically-talented Chilly Gonzales has been getting himself involved with lately. After his residency at Joe's Pub earlier this year, he then went to stage a live two-man performance of Jesus Christ Superstar with Peaches (they're bringing the show here in December) and announced his involvement with the lass and fellow electro-head, Tiga, on a new chess-themed movie collaboration, Ivory Tower. Now, we're back on the Gonzo tip, with a new single headed our way in two short weeks.

 

   

I Am Europe is the single, and it's every bit the hushy vocaled intro set upon funky beats and piano licks, before Gonzales leaps in with his signature rap-talks haunting the mid minutes. Ever the showman, the song is an entertaining invasion into your wanting earholes. 

 

Chilly's I Am Europe will be released on August 15 via Boys Noize Records, with remixes from Claude Van Stroke, Djedotronic and Dirty Doering, along with a the original and a capella versions. Get it here.

 

The video for the track is out now, which also features Gonzo's pal, Tiga, looking majorly faaahhhbulous. Awww...friends.

Peaches: The Wheelchair Show Mini-Doc and NYC Gets Peaches Christ Superstar!

For those of you who follow Peaches closely, you’ll know that recently, whilst performing at the Marés Vivas Festival 2010 in Portugal, she screwed up her ankle big time at the beginning of her set – it was a giant leap from the drum riser in the mammoth ghillie suit that did it...but of course, in true Peaches' style, she finished off the set (including crowd walking!) without a whimper. And the end result? An ankle the size of a melon and a big bad-ass plaster cast around her right leg! 

  

  

With the Lovebox Weekender in London just two days later, what was she going to do? There’s no way she could cancel!  Ingeniously, Peach got to work on putting together an exclusive set for the London Festival goers – a hilarious performance that will forever be known as The Wheelchair Show.

 

Watch the mini documentary recounting the tale below (semi-NSFW), then jump after for information on how, when, why and where Peaches will be bringing her Peaches Christ Superstar show (with Chilly Gonzales) to New York City later this year! Best news ever.
