Rainbow Cranium

A throwback to 2010 when this studio jam started surfacing at the start of almost every live set running into 2011.

Forthcoming - In Waves

New release on the horizon

It's all about the placement of the 'N'

No #TBT or #FBF but I am after an opinion or two...

Ok so I have a dilemma (not really #1stworldproblems), some little dood in the UK has started a project called Axxon N - he didn't do the prerequisite google search to see that there's already a bunch of AXXONNs, ha ee band fail>. But, his particular choice of lettering seems to fall close enough to mine, so much so that I'm beginning to see a google/press/playlist/spotify overlap. I could do the American thing and send a cease and desist? not sure that's my style. Or I could keep completing the recent interview requests I'm receiving and continue sending the press shots of Tasmanian Beef cattle. As it happens, this project was also inspired by David Lynch (check back to some of the first pics posted on this page), I guess if David would weigh in that would just make things easier, perhaps he can send us all cease and desists?!

 What do you think? (it is pretty fun to do someone elses interviews)

Below The Dead Ones

Below The Dead Ones (2010)

BELOW THE DEAD ONES (2010), my first release on another label, the ever excellent Brisbane based label BEDROOM SUCK packed in a really nice cassette with great work by Joe Alexander. This release was a re-exploration of the inaugural AXXONN release, an attempt to go deeper and darker. Two of the tracks, 'Deficit' and 'Urine Mote', I played live for nearly a year, they were super fun tracks to play live and sounded huge on big PA systems. All up I felt the cassette came out pretty well rounded, years later I still enjoy listening to it and hope you do too.... #tbt Download for free here: http://shop.axxonnband.com/album/below-the-dead-ones-2 Direct DL: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37646533/AXXONN%20-%20Below%20The%20Dead%20Ones.zip

Masters Of The Epic Day

Masters Of The Epic Day was the second AXXONN release, it was basically made as a tour promo/EP to generate publicity and also handout/sell on tour in Europe in July/August 2009. While it was of the same DIY approach as Should You Fear Hell?, the sound that characterised AXXONN was beginning to be harnessed, the nuts and bolts of the production and how material came together was beginning to be locked down.

Whilst a long way from the current sound, I'm still quite fond of this release. Particularly the track 'Nikki Grace', named after the character from David Lynch's film Inland Empire. The track Nikki Grace also became the song to which the first video clip was made/mangled.

Should You Fear Hell?

AXXONN - Should You Fear Hell? (debut release 2008)

So there's a new AXXONN release in the pipeline, in the lead up to it's release I'm going to dredge up all the old classics and give them away for free or pay what you like, from the start to present. Here's the first little known release "Should you fear hell?" super low-fi (aka recorded through a mic in a tube sock and coated in vaseline) released back in 2008 via 50 custom designed CD-Rs and given out at the first AXXONN live gig, unfortunately I don't even have one of those 50. I hope you enjoy this #tbt listen...  http://shop.axxonnband.com/album/should-you-fear-hell

Emerging.... DARK CUT

AXXONN is emerging from a long, deep slumber, kind of like a hibernation while getting other things in life on track. In all of this time the 1s/0s and resistors have been working hard in the background and we now have a solid slew of tracks to release.

These tracks are about change, embracing and giving all in the spirit of making people happy and nothing more.

Soon...

We're going to start the release process of getting this album out in the next few weeks. There's a party at the end of the tunnel. {does anyone even read this blog?}

Rehearsal Extract

outtake from recent rehearsal for upcoming LA gig...

A long time between drinks

2010 was a slurry of of activity for AXXONN, 2011 however was big changes, a couple of big moves across a number of countries, new habitats and entire new 'BIG city to begin to wrap our heads around so we took a much needed break from playing live and to reassess the situation.

2011 was full of writing new AXXONN sounds, whilst Tom was playing more solo shows around LA. We're going to be releasing new material this year (at some point) but the reason for this post is AXOXNN has it's first ever USA/Los Angeles outing....and what a great bill to get started on...

We hope you'll make it out if your in the neighbourhood.

No Anchor - Wolves Bite and Disappear [AXXONN Remake]

Remixing

When things are 'stuck' mixing/making wise I find it's always nice to take a track from a group that you really dig and have a tinker with it, I'm working on a couple of remixes at the moment and they've already given me the prod in the right direction, can't wait to nail some of these new AXXONN tracks.

I'm just not sure how to release the next AXXONN, musically we live in very weird times, I can't decide whether to;

Release an EP before the end of 2011?

Wait till March for an LP, Vinyl perhaps with Free digital version?

Vinyl and Cassette?

Digital only EP?

Free Single before the end of 2011 with bonus remix?

Decisions....Decisions......
