Have you been to The ND yet? It is a cool space in Austin on E. 5th and Brushy that is hosting some even cooler music these days. We LOVE to see places like this popping up on the east side, and we love it even more when they host our favorite bands like CUSTODIAN, who played a dazzling, head scratching set on Sunday. Check out pictures (and see a little more of The ND) HERE.

In other news…CUSTODIAN is heading up to New Mexico in just a few days to perform at The Albuquerque Film Festival. According to the website, “The Albuquerque Film Festival is a community organization dedicated to celebrating writers, filmmakers, musicians, and artists from around the globe whose visions break rules and startle the imagination.” I’m not sure I could describe CUSTODIAN any better if I tried.

Alert your New Mexico brethren that their weekend just got more interesting. My only question…are they going to check the horse head? You can find CUSTODIAN set times HERE!

The new issue of the Austin Chronicle that is on newsstands all over the capitol city features a flattering glimpse of two Artifact Workshop artists in the Off The Record column. Making the parallel of both Neiliyo and DJ Car Stereo (Wars) releasing music utilizing fair use material for free on the internet, the article speaks positively about both!  Check it:

“DJ Car Stereo (Wars) Explains It All recycles Top 40 hits with 40 bars of Dirty South verses in a manner that would make Girl Talk blush, while (Neiliyo’s) Copyright 1302 layers original electro-funk raps over beats and bleeps from the 1980s….”
