Painful headaches of which the source cannot be located.
Dead people that should be around but all that is left is a fading legacy, ravaged body and too many tears.
Living people that should not be around but all that is left are empty promises, insincerity and their deep-rooted cowardly fear of supporting the unknown. We'll show you.
The greatest drug to embellish 10% of mankind. K N O W L E D G E.
Spawned from east London club night Decasia, Decasian Records is a label run by Lady Himalaya which supports the raw, genuine and passionate. At a time when the London music scene is a dark stagnant clique, the doors have been opened up by a label which supports those who truly need it - the punks, the goths, the extreme, the obscure, the undefinable. WE ARE YOUR HOME.
MEET OUR FAMILY:
I AM THE ARM - this raw and energetic London 4 piece have enthralled and impressed all those who have seen them live. Tremendous fury and passion engulf their live shows and their many adoring fans feel driven and free to wildly express themselves at every gig...through mental moshing! We like!
THE SPECTROMETERS are an enigmatic vintage band who seem more enticed by a theremin rather than the temptations of rock and roll. We may tell you more about this elusive band or we may just not. Obscure is certainly their middle name.
We are also assisting with the distribution of JON JONES AND THE BEATNIKS MOVEMENT'S amazing 'ENGINE POWER' EP! With enough passion, drive and determination to kill an elephant, Jon Jones and the Beatniks Movement are slowly but surely climbing their way to recognition and raising more than a few eyebrows.
ENGINE POWER E.P OUT NOW ON DECASIAN RECORDS / FUCKOFF RECORDS - £4 + POSTAGE

''They simply blow you away with thunderous effect''
AUDIO SCRIBBLER
''Jon Jones and the Beatniks Movement should come with a health warning at the least, no one is held responsible if, whilst listening to their songs, you suffer bouts of insanity, nightmares or schizophrenic experiences. To be honest, it's all part of the Beatniks experience''
AMPEDREVIEWS.NET
"Fogettable is one word that does not apply to Jon Jones and the Beatnik Movement''.........'This is fucking primal stuff!''
MONO
"JJ&TBM though aren't a band that is looking back in time, they are visionaries that are pushing forward with every week, every gig they play, every new track they demo and every instrument they add to their collection, they certainly respect the past but they are very much the future."
THE BEAT SURRENDER
"Put it on to clear a room of all the losers with no time for real rock n' roll."
THE SKINNY
"Engine Power' by Jon Jones & The Beatniks Movement is a piece of punk escapism, a nightmare on your street, a bad trip on a flight home, a psycho-babble orgy - whatever you fear most, this is it - enjoy, enjoy, enjoy - do it now!! Absolutely electrifying!"
TOXIC PETE
''They were utterly nonsensical, scary, technically amazing, and quite simply brilliant.''
We're really excited that our 1982 single... cannibal dolls / seven men has been re-released Worldwide on iTunes this month. Nine previously unreleased songs, including the Sonny and Cher classic... I Got you Babe are also now available!

This is all the information I am permitted to divulge at present
As it happens, I've got a CD and badges...bought at the Macbeth!
I can't say at this moment if I'll be along on Sunday - I may have to get up at stupid o'clock on Monday morning to go to work, which means I'll need to get some sleep on Sunday night instead of rock 'n' roll. But I'll see what I can do!
I've got a few photos up from the gig at the Macbeth the other night. There are a few shots in my MySpace blog and full pages of photos for three of the bands:
I see from Eve Black.Eve White that the Decasian sampler is all gone, is this true? I'm quite sad, I was rather looking forward to getting a message about one. If there are any copies left I can offer to trade some badges from my website (mocktherock.com) if this would sweeten the deal any...
The Spectrometers gave a great show yesterday at La Blanchisserie in Boulogne. If you like them in studio, you'll love them live. They're great. They're coming, London, enjoy! Eric
AND WE’RE GOING TO BE JOINED BY SEAN MCCLUSKY (A CRISIS IN TASTE / EX-SUBWAY SECT) AS GUEST DJ
