Powerman 5000 Premiere “Sid Vicious In A Dress” Music Video

Posted by caemanamelio on

Powerman 5000 have premiered a new video for “Sid Vicious In A Dress,” via Loudwire. This song is from the band’s new album “New Wave,” which will be released on October 27.

Spider One commented:

“Visually, I wanted the video to feel like we stepped back in time, got transported back to the Rathskeller in Boston or CBGBs. Basically a dirty, smelly claustrophobic mess.

Over the years, Sid Vicious has become the poster child for chaos and destruction. The video takes that concept and manifests it into the form of a beautiful girl. The title sort of says it all.

Conceptually, it was very important to not to let this video become a typical rock n roll bad girl cliche video. This is not a lap dance video, this is violence!”

Powerman 5000 Sign With Pavement Entertainment, Plan To Release New Album “New Wave” Later This Year

Posted by caemanamelio on

Powerman 5000 have announced that have signed a new deal with Pavement Entertainment. The band’s new album “New Wave” will be released through the label later this year.

Spider One commented:

“We went a bit dirtier on this one. Ripped it up more than the last couple of records. One of the goals was to recreate the noise of the live show. Keep in the chaos.”

He also added the following about the title:

“‘New Wave?’ Are we a new wave band? Well, I would say that we have always had more in common with Devo than Dio.”

Monday will bring news! #powerman5000 #pm5k

Concert Review: Orgy, Powerman 5000, Death Valley High & Knee High Fox In San Jose, CA

Posted by caemanamelio on

Last night (January 29) I attended the San Jose, CA date of the “Set To Stun” tour, featuring Orgy, Powerman 5000, Death Valley High, and Knee High Fox, and it was a cool show.

Knee High Fox opened up with an powerful set. Frontwoman Chrissy Fox’s vocals really stood out with her great melodic singing and screaming. Those combined with her backing band made for a  solid performance. Highlights from their performance included “Comin For You” and their cover of Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet With Butterfly Wings.”

Death Valley High took the stage next for a rockin’ set. The band had a heavy sound with electronic elements which went well together. They were also very energetic and are definitely worth checking out if you haven’t heard of them. Highlights from their set included “Ick Switch” and “DVH – The Movie.”

Then it was time for the co-headliners to take the stage. Powerman 5000 was up first and they put on the strongest show of the night. Between the band’s musicianship and frontman Spider One’s singing/stage banter they were definitely on point in all aspects. Highlights from their set included their opening track “Super Villain,” “V Is For Vampire,” and “Bombshell.”

Orgy closed out the night with a sick performance. Singer Jay Gordon was full of energy and was good at keeping the crowd engaged. This was especially seen when he jumped into the crowd and had fans sing Orgy’s cover of New Order’s “Blue Monday” with him. It is worth noting that the newer lineup sounds awesome as well, regardless of how you may feel about Gordon carrying on as the only original member of the group. Highlights from their set included the previously mentioned”Blue Monday,” “Stitches,” and “G Face.”
