The lush, dreamlike British pop trio Kitchens of Distinction was formed in London in 1986 by singer/bassist Patrick Fitzgerald, guitarist Julian Swales and drummer Dan Goodwin. Taking their name from a Hygena advertisement, they issued their 1987 debut single "Last Gasp Death Shuffle" on their own Gold Rush label, signing to One Little Indian after the record garnered "Single of the Week" honors in the pages of the NME. Two further singles, "Prize" and "The 3rd Time We Opened the Capsule," followed prior to the release of their 1989 debut LP, Love Is Hell. Despite the critical acclaim given the album as well as a follow-up 1989 EP Elephantine, much of the early media attention afforded Kitchens of Distinction swirled around Fitzgerald, an admitted homosexual at a time when such public candor was quite rare. Though widely considered a cult band, their 1991 sophomore effort Strange Free World debuted on the U.K. Top 40, but quickly tumbled off the charts. The Death of Cool followed in 1992, but did little to improve their commercial fortunes, and after 1994's Cowboys and Aliens also failed, Kitchens of Distinctions were dropped by One Little Indian. Upon resurfacing in 1996 on Fierce Panda with the single "Feel My Genie" (released under the name Kitchens OD), the group split; Fitzgerald subsequently continued under the name Fruit.

BLACKLIST live at the glasslands gallery MAY/16/2009 w/special guests : violethour and AFTERPARTY [10pm-4am]
paralisis dj's chuby242 & raymi7 will be spinning music from cult bands of the 80's along with the all time classics from the genres of new wave, post - punk, darksynth & ebm between sets and after the show.
BLACKLIST Combining postpunk intensity with the volume and the sonic density of shoegaze, Blacklist represents a new breed of rock and roll maximalism. They released their first official EP, "Solidaire," which features 'Shock In The Hotel Falcon.' and ‘pure joy in my heart’
Since then, the band has shared the stage with underground legends Psychic TV and Mark Burgess (The Chamelons) as well as with current acts such as The Warlocks, A Place To Bury Strangers, IAMX, and The Mary Onettes. Blacklist is set to release its full-length debut LP 'Midnight of the Century' in 2009. Recorded in NYC throughout 2008, the album was mixed in London by Ed Buller (Suede, Slowdive, Pulp, White Lies).
VIOLETHOUR is a Brooklyn-based darknoise duo. Their sound is characterized by lush textures of distortion, orchestral tones, and electronic beats. In spirit, the band channels cult aesthetic inspirations such as Camus or Ann Demeulemeester. VH is revolution rock for the times…
