it's not the real Pinkshinyultrablast. it's some AI slop that's impersonating them (badly).

Club AC30 @clubac30.com · 02/09/2025

Some eagle-eyed folks have noticed there's a new song on Spotify by Pinkshinyultrablast. It's not them, it's some AI slop someone uploaded against the band's ID. We've submitted a strike against it, so Spotify should remove it today. Here's a real song by them: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJrT...

Yeah, well spotted - it's AI slop. We've put in a strike against it, so it should be removed today.

so far out of reach for any non major label artists nowadays. that would equate to about 5.8 million spotify streams as a minimum...

Club AC30 @clubac30.com · 28/01/2025

ah, that would be nice eh. honestly though, i don't blame the headliners in this scenario - it was a combination of our inexperience at that level, and maybe some of the crew on the tour rinsing us a little. i think had it happened again, we'd be doubling the fee requirements each night.

New from Tokyo band TaFFY on @clubac30.com . In parts jangle, a bit like Blushing, unexpected electronica warbles, and strong dream pop thread. taffy.bandcamp.com/album/lull

Club AC30 @clubac30.com · 27/01/2025

The band were told we had to pay for a lighting engineer and monitor engineer, on top of sound engineer - or they'd be playing in the dark with no sound on stage. We also had to match their merch prices contractually - meaning we had to price t-shirts at 35 euros, and consequently they sold fewer.

020

Club AC30 @clubac30.com · 27/01/2025

Then there's gear hire maybe, sound engineer, sometimes if it's a really big tour you need lighting engineer too. Tolls on motorways, per-diems for band members, accommodation and so on. It cost the label a fortune when Ringo Deathstarr supported Smashing Pumpkins throughout Europe.

Club AC30 @clubac30.com · 27/01/2025

I think also the small label has less cash to help touring acts. Ten years ago, our income was far higher and we were able to help our bands touring. Now, thanks to revenue, pressing costs, postage, Brexit etc - it's just not possible.

I played this so much when I was at University. This, and the Global Communications 76:14 album, along with Aphex Twin's first Ambient Works... Soufie by Banco de Gaia comes to mind as well.

We would have repressed sooner, but it's an expensive one to press being a double LP. The sleeve notes are slightly different too, and rewritten by Shane.

The vinyl looks lovely too, it's on greenpower compound, with a nice marbled fog effect. Only 250 of these have been pressed (cat not included, that's the majestic Tibby and I doubt @dunkjonesy.bsky.social would be too happy if he shipped with the vinyl):

Back in 2010 I went to by:larm in Oslo, and various people were saying "there's a band you HAVE to see". They were called The Megaphonic Thrift - and they completely blew me away. This is Talks Like A Weed Kind from the first of two albums we released by the band. www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3hP...

Was great that bands like this played so many more regional shows back then. A bit more rare nowadays thanks to the cost of touring and also the diminishing number of venues...
