Eject from Salt Like City. Starring Adrian Shepherd Bell.

Adrian’s world was never unambiguous. The same you can tell about his musical journeys indeed. Turning himself into a bunch of mormons, he recorded the other night something he calls “Holy Eject”. Here you are, dress your overalls, take a shower and dance with your wives to a lovely tune. Eject yourself to the eternal kingdom.

Summer videos, enough for starting our very own The Prostitutes TV.

There are some videos captured by Smity’s camera at Rock For People, 4th July, Cool Stage. For an early afternoon, we enjoyed the gig extremely well. Less enthusiastic were our drums and guitars technicians.

Loads of pictures from this year’s festival are on Facebook. Maybe one day we will put them all on our flickr account, but for now, depend on that asocial network.

What does Wédéčko, a familiar name for our WD-40 robot co-synth-player, when he is not on stage with The Prostitutes? Well, see for yourself in a video from Rock For People and in a video showing Wédéčko persecuting people in Prague’s Metro, but in the end singing loud & proud.

We played last week at the official closing ceremony of International Film Festival Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad). There is one lo-fi video of Space Oddity live captured by Jack from Carlsbad. Enjoy!

And I found one curious video of The Fakes remix of our song Leave Like It Is made probably by a fan in UK. The picture selected can be a cover image for this remix with no doubts. Good taste!

And, there is one more video, Leave It Like It Is from United Islands of Prague:

Achtung, CD Baby!

And now, some marketing and sales talk! Finally, there is an easy and efficient way how to get the latest album Hometown Zombies worldwide to your door! Thanx to CD Baby. The direct link to the page with the album is that you just passed by, so go back!

And when you are already shoppin’, why don’t you go for the debut album too? Highly acclaimed by listeners (5/5), Get Me Out Of Here is ready in a form of a CD or hi-q mp3 download. At CD Baby, of course. Or, if you have an iTunes account, you can buy it there.

The Gift.

A lot, a lot, a lot. Loads of news, pictures, video and songs from last two weeks!

We’ve been busy last weeks and we still are. You saw us: recording, protesting against policy of Board of Czech Radio, playing live at radio Wave.

THE NEW ALBUM, THE FIRST SINGLE, MUSIC VIDEO AND NEW TOUR

So, after two years of intense gigging and preparation of new material we finally recorded 14 tracks to be further developed. It took us less than two weeks in David Koller’s Cox studio where we were with producer Dušan Neuwert and sound engineer Petr Kaláb. Now, we are finalizing the songs in Tata Bojs studio and our own recording home facilities, mainly at my sweet Radiotron studio. In a week we should be ready with edits and additional recording and Dušan and us should move to Soundsquare studios to mix and master the record.

We are still not ready to announce the name of the forthcoming album, but we are pretty close. The record is playing a lot with the theme of all these hometown lost and dull souls around us and is conceived a bit as a film soundtrack, at least we are talking about it like this . One thing for sure, the first single is going to be released in the second half of January 2009 and it’s name is Leave It Like It Is. It is a rather not very cheerful duet of Adrian T. Bell and La Petite Sonja (Kill The Dandies!, ex-The Nihilists). I’ve got f***ing goose-skin everytime I listen to it so I hope you will have too.

Directing duo Mods, me and Michal Nohejl, we just returned from freezing Baltic Sea in Poland where we were shooting a music video for this song. Michal plays the main character together with his girlfriend, actress Petra Nesvačilová. The video is sponsored and produced by Bistro Films.

We can confirm that the whole new album is going to be released in March 2009 and immediately after the release we are going to tour all over CZ and also some other European countries.

THE LAST DISTORTION-DANCING-DESTRUCTION CONCERT

The Prostitutes will change. They already did, but they’re going to change more. The last concert of Distortion-Dancing-Destruction tour is going to take place in Rock Café, the same club we played our first gig 3 years ago, 27th December 2008, 8PM. Come and say goodbye to the old with us at this riotous post-christmas post-punk party!

RADIO WAVE LIVE SESSION, REMIX AND MOVIE TRAILER

We played and we enjoyed to play at “ZEROPOINTZEROFM” radio station persecuted by its own controller, protector and administrator – Board of Czech Radio. Here you can see some pictures from the show and at our myspace profile you can listen to live recording of “the” song which started it all – Swastika Eyes by Primal Scream – performed by The Prostitutes. Btw, at Swastika Eyes Day Com administrated by Sergei Macaroff you can listen to his remix of our song Sunshine called Sunshine (Beats & Beasts From Outer Space Remix) and, foremost, you can watch a movie trailer for the documentary about the collaboration with The Dad, Mr. Abe Cruz from NYC going to be ready in the same time as the new record. Click here to download the video or watch the youtube version bellow:

REMIXES OF REMIXES

We are also proud to offer you a remix of remix by The Fakes. They redid their last version of Sunshine and at our myspace we just uploaded 2.0 version which is really a new-romantic, hedonistic dance-floor anthemic smash hit IMHO but judge for yourself! This is the cover art:

The Fakes remix The Prostitutes

destroyer — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 23:16:50 +0000

Our favorite DJ squad The Fakes just released remix of our song Sunshine. First play was on Friday at Halloween party in Chapeau Rouge and it was quite crowded zombie mayhem as I remember.

You can listen to this “moonlight” version full of synth pads and arpeggios building a true new-romantic dance-floor hit at our myspace.

Sick Sunshine.

Asthmatic Athlete made his remix of our song Sunshine called Asthmatic Sunshine. To us it sounds pretty “islandic”. Listen to the remix here.

The Dad sings The Prostitutes. Watch now!

Anne Marie sent me the link with the video yesterday and we want to share this with you immediately as this is one of the best gifts we’ve ever received! Smashing video, stunning the Dad. Roller skates, NYC, tuxedo, the Dad and The Prostitutes. Ingredients of the great video directed and edited by Anne Marie Cruz:

For those who are new to this, don’t miss the other two videos “Dad sings Radiohead” and “Dad sings Sinatra” at Anne Marie’s youtube profile!

We are going to receive a hi-res copy of this video in couple of days to be able to do some things further with it. (Like “hype” and stuff, y’know us…)

And now some secret stuff. If all will go well, Anne Marie and her father, the Dad, will come over to Europe and may show up at our gig at Rock For People festival. What a climax.

And one more thing: We have an idea, inspired by this video, and we dare to ask you: For you who would like to contribute with your own version of Don’t Give A Damn song (audio or audio & video), here you can download karaoke-ready version of this song and shoot your own video or just record your own version of this song. Send us the link and we will post it here! Everything, no censorship (except thing against law and internet policy, of course). A good chance for friends, fans and enemies too.

Let me remind us with this video just couple of months old from Catherine and her ex-boyfriend Daniel from Ireland:

FURTHER NEWS:

We had a meeting today with the producer and we finally agreed on a date of the first recording session for the new album. Hurray.

UPDATE:

Due to the demands, there are the lyrics for the song:

Don’t Give a Damn

————————————————————————–

I know you’re never gonna love me anymore
you took everything you could from me
you made a promise that youd never kept now, did you
you took everything that you could see

but you keep on smiling
yes you keep on smiling
But you don’t give a damn now
No you don’t give a damn now

but you keep on smiling
yes you keep on smiling
But you don’t give a damn now
No you don’t give a damn now

One day I don’t know when
it’s coming back to haunt you
you say there’s nothing going on at all
you took everything you could and say that
you still love me
you think I dont see anything at all

but you keep on smiling
yes you keep on smiling
But you don’t give a damn now
No you don’t give a damn now

but you keep on smiling
yes you keep on smiling
But you don’t give a damn now
No you don’t give a damn now

you don’t care for me at all now do you any more

You thought that you could get the best of both worlds didn’t you lady
but Im not that kind of bloke thats alll
One day I dont know when
its coming back to haunt you
you think i dont see anything at all

but you keep on smiling
yes you keep on smiling
But you dont give a damn now
No you dont give a damn now

but you keep on smiling
yes you keep on smiling
But you dont give a damn now
No you dont give a damn now

Pleasant evening with a glass of wine and some strobe-lights.

Lucerna was great. Alex made nice clear, crispy and loud sound, Filip made superb lights and you, our audience, made us feel good on stage. Drain started it all with hi-energy rocknroll, Kill The Dandies were just amazing and for us and those of you who stayed, Steve Morell played electric set making (not just) me shaking the ass. I spent some time at the bar and on the dance-floor and ended up with Alex and Steve Morell in the morning at Zero bar. Wasted of course.

Anyway. I managed to keep my red jacket on for the whole concert without sudden death caused by overheating. I saw my friends dancing. I saw a bra flying in the air. Fine. Your reaction to Hometown Zombie, the song written for the second album we played for the first time in Prague, was great according to what I heard and it definitely increased our euphoria. Looking forward to play more new songs for you soon!

Here is the interview with Steve LFO and Luk Santiago on Radio Wave just before the concert.

Watch also Knockout on Óčko TV on Monday, 14th April for interview and live footage from this show.

Thanx to “powerofvir” you can see the first youtube video from Lucerna Music Bar right now:

More videos coming soon as the whole gig was recorded.

UPDATE: Nice report from the concert by Lona Lona at superbeat.cz.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Folks!

Thanx for a wonderful year! We had a great time touring summer festivals as well as our Distortion Dancing Destruction Tour couple of weeks ago. Now we are heading towards new songs, a new recording and hopefully also a new record. As 2007 ends, a chapter in a history of The Prostitutes ends too. And we are all looking forward to 2008!

So many bands are doing rock versions of christmas carols but nobody does a christmas carol version of a rock song. So we did! We took our most-punky Get Me Out Of Here and we did it a capela with this right christmas feeling. Enjoy this free download at myspace, bebo, iLike – this is your Christmas present from us
