Rubbery goodness

Week spent polishing up guitar and vox 'dubs for new track We Used To Explode. Sounding tight. Got high hopes for this one. Très HEAVY, people!

Speakin-'a-heavy, word reached through Myspazz is; heroic perennial funk-banger, Dr Rubberfunk is diggin the brand-new dark-sumptuous "Digi-cles Mix" of Saturday Night Special. Checkit. Most kinda you to say so, Doc!

Progress

After some nice feedback for a live outing at Club.The.Mammoth last week, well chuffed to announce we lurch unstoppable toward a final mix of Alone Again. Been a couple of "messies" of our catchy set-closer floating round Soundclouds for months now...but Mr Lopez is finding real fire in the studio. That and other back-cat favourites ready in "weeks". Tasty.

Friends of MHR, London-based VJ/AV collective, Fade In Fade Out, have said they'd love to work with us.

Likewise fellas. Your stuff's eye-poppin' mad! The thought of a collab makes my sensors go all...sensory! Here's my current FIFO favourite; "Planes & Defunct Media".

Club.The.Mammoth

Another great night from the boys at Club.The.Mammoth. More excellent moustache action throughout. C.A.M.P. is a very cool venue and we hope the Mammoth boys return to the scene of the crime - as it had one DEADLY system. Sounded awesome - loud 'n' crisp baby!

Highlight of the night were Hook and the Twin. If you've never seen them you need to. They're finishing off their album at the moment so we're not sure what the gig situation is - but in the meantime, check 'em out here: Hook and the Twin

On a personal note, I showcased our own Alone Again as part of my set for the good folk at Best Laid Plans. It went BANG!      Lopez.

Album

Working hard on mix-downs of our back-cat songs that made up the Glastonbury set.

ANOTHER NIGHT ON THE DRONES : GO TAKE COVER : TONIGHT THE FIRES : LET’S BREAK IT AND FIND OUT: LOST AND FOUND: USE DISCRETION : WOLF ON THE STAIR : SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIAL : ALONE AGAIN : THE SAME THINGS

With North By North Circular (click for the video), Sad Song, Afterparty, Deep Scratch and an ultra-fresh stash of sik new cuts, the ingredients of what we hope will be a very special album are coming together. NO holes, NO fillers – just a sustained and sultry sonic-hug from The Rangers.

You’ll want to pick us up and hold us...again and again.

Hippest of the hip gigs

Machine Heaven Ranger have snared their next sonic victims and you’d be hard pressed to imagine anything cooler than this.

A very special set to be performed at one of London Fashion Weekend’s exclusive parties. Designers, models and fashionista liggers alike – all caught in the stately gaze of the Somerset House forecourt.

Beautiful people, beautiful surroundings - add to that, the sweet insane tunage of Machine Heaven Ranger and people, we are kickin' it! 23-26 Sept. tbc.

That's a wrap

On Monday evening Machine Heaven Ranger conducted a rare interview for the press.

That’s right, the thoughts of Mr Lopez and yours truly will make copy in The Metro, Thursday 12 August. Having had no idea it was actually national press (until somebody kindly informed me afterwards) here’s hoping I come off as coherent and charismatic as my brains have since convinced me I was. Doubtful...

Topics covered range from the band’s infamous inception in the bowels of hell and just how in-god’s-name we locked down a show at this year's Glastonbury. Answer, of course - we sound AWESOME! But for a slightly more detailed account, best grab the rag.
