Sounds Like
Music. (NB: music, not The Music. I don't sound like them. Can't sing as whiny as that.)
15-11 Enterprises is one of a few musical projects for James Russell (the character currently writing all this stuff in first person), the others currently being The Inflatable Voodoo Dolls, The Interzone Philharmonic Orchestra, and Arthur The Unstoppable Shit Machine. 15-11 Enterprises now also features Ant Banister from Lunar Module and assorted other acts on vocals.
The name comes from the fact that my birthday falls on November the 15th. However, I did discover a little while ago that 15 is the number of the Devil card in the Tarot, and 11 is the Qabalistic number ascribed by Aleister Crowley to the great work. I don't know if you can really read any significance into this sort of thing or not, but it may explain my long-term interest in things occult.
So 15-11 Enterprises could just be one guy's bedroom band, or it could be part of a Satanic conspiracy to take over the world. Either possibility is viable, depending on what dimension you live in. Who knows, maybe it's both.
15-11 Enterprises has been open for business since 2005. All music is made using Fruity Loops and Hammerhead. If it's good enough for Tom Ellard, etc. You can find a discography of my released and unreleased projects somewhere in the blog on this profile. A full-length album will hopefully appear by early to mid-2009. (The original target of 2008 is obviously not happening.)
15-11 Enterprises uses this here editor thingy at MySpace Toolbox to get its page looking at least a bit more aesthetically pleasing (in my opinion if no one else's) than the default Myspace design. Thanks to IVD Joe for showing me how to do it.

Thanks James! Sorry I didn't get a chance to say bye the other night at PV+LM, we had to dash.
Come along to the lewisham this sat at 5pm if you get a chance, we've got a new track and we've spiced up some of the old stuff. The gig will be quiet, but a chance to try out the new style a bit.
We're now looking at '09 as the year for the new album (titled 'Surfacing'). We're still writing and recording, so there's plenty of work ahead of us.
Ahh Bumber. I am really sorry I missed your gig on wednesday night. I did not know about it until tonight. I suck. How did it go? Let us know if you do any more shows. Alex
Hey cats, we're going to be in your neck of the woods this Saturday - we're doing a show in a 19th century church for Under The Blue Moon... hope to see you there! (make sure you come and say 'hi' if you do come...) cheers, N&N
Hey there. Just listened to all your songs and like the style you've got going here - The vocals on a couple of the tracks work well with the sparse nitzer ebb-ish synth lines. (The best way I can describe it at the moment - need more coffee)
Hmm Ascension? Is that the Sly Fox night? I would like to pop in yeah. Thanks in advance for any radio airplay. What time is Overdrive on thurs? I might be in my car with the radio on.
cheers
Ant
