Village Voice feature on Speak Onion. They know what’s good.

10 02 2010

http://www.villagevoice.com/2010-02-09/music/speak-onion-s-wii-teenage-riot/

The Village Voice is hip to NYC’s boss of drum’n’noise. The feature includes some insight into what the hell Speak Onion is on about, a review of Trigger Pusher, and some background on I.B.N. They said, among other glowing praise:

“Only the Floor Is Rotten” may teem with enough nasty, pixilated bass synthesizers and stuttered tripwire breakbeats to satiate a dozen warehouses packed full of revelers, but the relentless waves of twinkling keyboard figures underneath all that havoc come bearing cosmic melodic gifts. “The Last Thing You Remember,” meanwhile, pushes the noise-as-bracing-assault envelope with a fuck-you intensity, mashing reams of hyperventilating wavelength chirp together with evil-algorithm, bit-crush malevolence.”

Yeah, that’s about right.

So grab the Village Voice this week to get a piece of Immigrant Breast Nest history! And stay tuned for future Speak Onion news, including the upcoming show on 3/14 at The Charleston in Williamsburg and the upcoming split release with Xrin Arms!

Some video from Sat. at Coco66!

8 02 2010

Saturday was a monster party, as you might have guessed. Stank funk bludgeoned by relentless hardcore morphing into mad science blips all ruined by noisy breaks. Typical of us at I.B.N. Thanks a billion to Naetron, Insect Deli, Joy Through Noise, and Coco66 for the killer PA.

Check out some videos!

Insect Deli really murdered everything in the world. Here’s a taste:

And Speak Onion did the usual insane ruckus. Seeing is believing:

And check out this later portion of the set, including post-set dance moves (for the ladies). What are those samples he’s dropping in there? Sounds like tru necro kvlt black metal grymness, right? Well, I’ve said too much.

This is what an I.B.N. party is like. Just so you know. Stay tuned for more!

Speak Onion’s Metabolor Reviewed in Regen Magazine

22 01 2010

Regen magazine recently posted a review of Speak Onion’s Metabolor (IBN002). Check out the review here. Regen says of Metabolor,

“For these brave few that seek out breakcore for their listening enjoyment, Speak Onion is the man for the job. Blending the intricacies of breakcore with the sheer power of noise, Metabolor is perfect for the breakcore fanatic,”

and

“Speak Onion brings forth gunfire drums and imminent doom with his music,”

and

“…but those well-versed in the genre [breakcore] will find Speak Onion a strong player in the field.”

among other fantastically positive things. We are not surprised. Speak Onion is the boss of NYC drum’n’noise and he doesn’t stop at Metabolor, recently having dropped Trigger Pusher on us, and with Snow Braid— a split with Xrin Arms— about to drop, the madness continues.

So grab Metabolor and Trigger Pusher and catch Speak Onion playing for free at Coco66 next month to see what this is all about.

2-6flyer

Fresh off the release of the epic “Trigger Pusher” release, Speak Onion returns to the stage to bust punks and ruin auditory nerves. Trick ass marks, beware, you probably can’t hang. Especially, since he’s backed up by a serious crew of NYC’s finest electronic music mad scientists. Joy Through Noise, Insect Deli, and Naetron fill out the bill. All this on the best PA in New York, at Coco66. And how much, you ask? FREE!! That’s right, this is purely free. You were going to be out drinking that night anyway, so you might as well be doing it with us, catching beats and bonks and plenty of bL00r! Don’t miss it.

Also, check out Speak Onion’s new website design, and find him on Twitter. You can expect him to be hollering about breakbeats, fish, beards, eating, and maybe Nord synthesizers or whatever the fuck that dude is ever talking about.

Also, did you find me on facebook yet? I didn’t!

Derek Tibs (CEO, Immigrant Breast Nest)





Hey everyone, I (Derek Tibs) am on Facebook!

3 12 2009

I don’t really get it yet. I’m used to walking around getting money and fucking bitches and bringing blown out sounds to the people of earth, so this chit-chat and blah blah blah is not really my speed, but I’m sure I’ll have this shit working for me any minute. I bet that mark-ass trick, Don Drope knows how to use Facebook right.

Anyway, search for and add “Derek Tibs” on facebook for one more way to keep up with I.B.N. happenings. You can also find your man, Speak Onion, on there, and become a fan. Do it. Other Immigrant Breast Nest artists to follow!
