Top Seven at Seven

Noot d'noot makes creative loafing's crib notes two weeks in a row. Shouts out to Criminal Records, where the only person ever asking you if "fries go with that shake" is this guy....

Profile: Spotlight on Efectiv

Y'all wanna meet this band? Aiiight, ladies first. Circuit Diva and Electro Siren, collectively known as Efectiv, came into the studio to do some vox on jiggle city last summer and haven't left the Noot camp yet.  Though they joined up after most of the goofer dust was gathered, they have become a prominent addition to the live set.  Look for their debut single this fall on Solutionist Records. 

In the meantime, you can check out Electro Siren performing with Summer Hill's finest, Mar-won, on A-towns freshest cable channel, People TV.  Towards the end of the clip, you may come across an acapella version of "Fingers Like Steeples" which will be found on Noot's 2009 follow-up to Goofer Dust.  Peace to our mane, Mar-won.

In other news, the starhole will be closing for the summer on Sat. August 16. Hope you can join us.

Duly Crib Noted

Somewhere between master of puppets and portishead's 3rd, the dust now rests of the shelves of your local camelot, turtles, and sam goody's.  Local music journalist Chad Radford recently conversed w/ several Noot's for a bloggins on Creative Loafing's Crib Notes.  Radford dug deep to find out why Noot has turned from its punk rock roots and begged the question, "Has Atlanta's garage rock scene reached critcal mass?"  Find out who's more punk here.

"In the United States it is called goofer dust and there is a great deal of laughter from educated people over it.  The idea of some old witch doctor going to a cemetery at dead of night to dig arm-length deep in a grave for dirt with which to harm and kill seems ridiculous.  Now, wait just a moment before you laugh too hard at this old hoodoo man or woman of magic.  Listen to some men of science on the same subject."- Zora Neal Hurston, from Tell My Horse

A Noot at the Opera

Vagina Around The World

Here's a clip of our encore from the album release show. Noot's covering Daft Punk as a backdrop to Vagina Jenkins' burlesque performance. Strangeways, here we come.

Noot Schwag, Ephemera, and Paraphernalia

It appears that the Goofer Dust on 12" Vinyl arrived today at the residence of Mr. Troy Stains, CEO of International Hits Records. Street Release date is next Tuesday, July 22nd. Included in this package is a poster from devout Noot artist, Squanto b/w detailed liner notes by Noot archivist, Sgt. Gary Flowers, chronicling the origins of d' Noot. Also included is a digital backup of the album on a format known as "CD".  If you wanna get involved right now, the entire album is streaming off the International Hits blog waiting to pleasure your tympanic cavity.


Got some T-shirts in as well, featuring the logo forged by A-town street disciple, Born.  Incidentally, Born is the mastermind behind the artwork that Mr. Troy Stains used  for graphic inspiration while laying out the cover of Goofer Dust. Thanks to all those who came out this weekend to the EARL for the CD release show. We hope all can join us for the proper unleashing of the vinyl at the third installment of Worming The Starhole, July 26th w/ Judi Chicago and The Spencer Garn Quartet.

On another note, you might enjoy investigating our kindred spirit, Mr. Chris Cunningham, and his collection of strange tales from this animal life. Check and see what he's got growing in his garden Upright Against The Savage Heavens.  Here you will find the wisdom of a true freak we are lucky to have walk amongst us.

See Yous Toonightaauugghhh

This is it - the release show is upon us. The cars, vans, and other musical equipment transportation have been packed and we are ready to go. Expect a wild, amazing show with everything including the kitchen sink thrown in. If there is any Noot d' Noot show to see in 2008, this is the one.

Creative Loafing also thinks so.

So we'll see you at the EARL this evening, and bring your good vibes and make sure you let some sunshine into your life this Summer - too many clouds out there!

Thought for the Day - Week 28

The only thing one can give an artist is leisure in which to work. To give an artist leisure is actually to take part in his creation. -Ezra Pound, poet (1885-1972)
