COSMIC ARMCHAIR

Heart of Glass (29 October 11 – Blu Jaz Cafe)

Stratos Entertainment — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 18:06:58 +0000

We’played at level 3 of Blu Jaz cafe on 29 October 2011, followed by a DJ Cosmic Battlefield (Ben) set.

This was an epic Halloween party spanning two floors of Blu Jaz –

“Angels and demons is the theme, heavenly indie beauties upstairs (level 3) and filthy dub-tech demons downstairs (level 2) where they belong. … HEART OF GLASS is a unique event dedicated to take indie back to where it belongs. Unrestricted by stiff clubbing rules, it’s the place where anything goes. Swoon to the soundscapes of shoegaze & dream pop, pogo to the white boy funk of post-punk & krautrock, & grind along to the machines of industrial amidst the waves of darkness.”

Grendel (featuring Cosmic Ben) in Singapore (27 Apr 11, Union Square)

Stratos Entertainment — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 03:30:30 +0000

“Aptly named for the beast in Beowulf, Grendel is one of the most recognized examplars of the Aggrotech genre brewing in the global underground electronica scene. Hailing from the Netherlands, the trio of DJ VLRK (JD Tucker), M4RC and S42H have devastated dancefloors across Europe with their aggressive beats, militant lyrics and extreme techno flavour.”

This gig was Grendel’s debut in Southeast Asia, performing live in Singapore for the first time ever. When S42H was unable to play due to injury, our very own Cosmic Ben was asked to fill in on live keyboards, and got to share in the night of industrial headbanging madness. Ben is at the left of the video, behind VLRK.
