MACHINE BOY - ACTION FIGURES

Add to My Profile

Machine Boy have been creating electronic music for a number of years, Machine Boy music has been used by various tv & production companies including BBC, Chan 4 & 5, Central/Carlton, Chilli Media, Black Diamond & in the USA by the likes of MTV.

Machine Boys albums are now available to buy at ITUNES. The ep called DEPRESSION EP thru www.incubator-records.com Includes the huge lyrical/vocal talent of USA Seattle based poet/artist Lorian Elbert, giving the Machine Boy sound a whole new dark (surreal) edge.

The story goes on seeing one of Lorians poem books Machine Boy knew these words would work perfectly with his soundscapes. Kind words & airplay from DJ legend/icon John Peel (RIP)...god how much do we miss Johns shows ! ;-( more recently airplay for Machine Boys 'Action Figures' from the likes of top radio one jock Huw Stephens and airplay, positive vibes from BB6music's Tom Robinson plus continued support from Gill Mills TOP podcast iCast and Machine Boy being included in BBC Radio One's TOP unsigned podcast have all helped build the Machine Boy fanbase.

Machine Boy also create animated video's to promote his music, the first being a video for the track 'Depression' and the video instantly picked up airplay on the mighty MTV, more recent animated promo's such as 'Action Figures' have also been given airplay from MTV2 in various programmes such as '120 minutes' etc.

Add to My Profile

Serious airplay from tv, including MTV Real World, Road Rules and various extreme sports programs/films has only made the whole Machine Boy project more mouthwatering.

Machine Boy have also been doing work with producer/writer Ian Wallman (B15 Project) and a song for the 'more sonic adventures...' album has been co-written with Ian, titled 'Despair'. The full album is now available and goes again (as the ep) under the name of 'Machine Boy featuring Lorian Elbert' and has the full title of MORE SONIC ADVENTURES FROM MACHINE BOY FEATURING LORIAN ELBERT.

Machine Boy's latest album is now finished and available again from iTunes, titled BUILDING A BETTER BOY, also now available is the single ACTION FIGURES the animated movie for action figures is avalable to view above.

This Burning Age	22 Jul 2008 16:58 This week Birmingham is going to bear witness to the emergence of a new band that will take the UK music scene by the throat and whisper darkly in it's ear till it submits entirely. "This Burning Age" is frontman, songwriter and guitarist Friday joined by a band of friends and fellow muso's that have grown sick of the tide of mass produced plastic pulp that passes for entertainment, tired of the endless carbon copies and the ceaseless regurgitation of old ideas passed off as new and saddened at seeing both public and record industry alike returning to these lukewarm outpourings again and again as a dog to its disgorged last meal. Although influenced by many genres "This Burning Age" defies succinct categorisation. The closest might be Brit-alt-rock-industrial-punk-D'n'B-with an electronica twist. The truth is they don’t sound like anything you’ve heard before. After a year and a half in the studio their debut album, “A Muzzle For The Masses” is also being released, on their own record label, this coming Autumn in both CD and digital download formats (including a very limited edition CD version). They are playing Birmingham Bar Academy this Thursday night, July 24th, and are now taking bookings around the UK so expect to hear from them, wherever you are, soon. So, if you’re around Birmingham on the 24th, come along and make up your own mind but, in the meantime, visit their MySpace page, listen to all 10 tracks from the forthcoming album…and, above all, enjoy the noise.
