Having mentioned my love of analog synthsizers in the last post, I thought I'd continue on that track with one of my favorite 90's new wave bands, Mocket. I first experienced their synthy punk pop genius when they played with Atari Teenage Riot & Add N to (X) at RKCNDY in the summer of 98 or 99. Mocket opened the show and they were great. Their drummer played without a bass drum, instead, he wore a shoe with a drum trigger placed in it, which, as a drummer who'd recently fallen in love with classic drum machines, I thought was really cool. As soon as Mocket finished playing, I went & bought a few 7"s from them, then I fought my way back to the front of the stage, ready to see Add N to (X) & get my second synth fix of the night.
Hi. Thanks for posting Mocket's stuff. Helps those of us who purchased it back in the day on vinyl or what have you.
ReplyDeleteThe -Pro Forma- link worked but the ones for -Fanfare- and -Bionic Parts- did not download properly. If you could fix and re-post and send me a shout at thenewestlights@gmail.com when you have (if you can), that'd be great.
Thank you much.
