12/07/09 - LIVE DATES / FLUMP MY MONG 3 & ROO'S WORLD
Just updated the live page - appearances from Fractional in Belgium, Zeropointenergy in Brazil, The Fez! & weyheyhey !! in Edinburgh & Phuq & The Fez! in Colchester, amongst others. Why not come experience the joys?!
Our "publishing imprint" Twenty Third, presents its latest needless booklet / ezine. Titled "Flump My Mong 3", it's a small but wicked collection of some of DJ Ultimate Kevin's scarily imaginative, horribly surreal art, compiled by Phuq. Download as PDF from the Twenty Third site or pick up an ultra-limited print copy from our info stall (at selected gigs).
Phuq has also bodged a short animation using some of the characters from "Flump My Mong 3". You can watch "Roo's World" on our Youtube page, although you have no right to complain about the rudimentary lip-syncing!

06/06/09 - RELEASE NEWS / TWENTY-THIRD / ELFKORE
The debut of our long-awaited "Community" MPfree compilation fast approaches - (tentative!) release date is 23rd July, so keep checking back or signup to the mailing list.
Phuq - "Conspiracykore" (MPFree EP) is coming 23rd August with the long-promised release of Intonamori's "Ear Weevils 2" (MP3 EP) soon after that.
We now have a dedicated mini-site for our new publishing imprint, Twenty-Third, which will offer zines, pamphlets & eventually books exploring subcultural shenanigans of various kinds. Second offering is the slightly angry zine "Lies", with the "Ketamine: A Primer" booklet & "God Told Me To" zine next up.
Our (defunct) netlabel Elfkore is now permanently archived as a subdomain of this site, rather than its former ".tk" domain. Check Elfkore.BadSekta.com for adventurous EPs from Lastboss & Phuq.
We've also just commenced work on the next incarnation of this website, so more on that at some point in the near future...
