Influences
George Bataille, Hans Bellmar, David Lynch, Richard Kern. noise, shouting, howling and ranting. whispering, wondering, staring and watching. the melancholy of madness. ****************
How many times have you answered your telephone only to realise you’ve been accidentally phoned by a friend while their mobile phone was in their pocket? Did you listen or hang up? What did you hear that you weren’t mean to know? And did you ever tell them? ****************************************
You can tell where that person is by the sounds around them and listen to what they say; all the while the accidental caller never knows they are being overheard.
****************************************
If you were blindfolded, you could probably tell where you were by the sounds of the kitchen, pub, shop, street, park, or fairground. Bernadette Louise uses these noises to create whole environments that only you can hear over a telephone.
Sounds Like
Your hugest desires, your most horrific nightmares, your loves, losses and lives.
“Only a Phone Call Away” is exactly that: a telephone recording of a different daily life story that you can access by calling from any phone, anytime, anywhere in the world - as easy as making a phone call to a friend.
*********************************************************************************************
Bernadette Louise explores audio voyeurism and gives you a sense of cinematic presence within the theatrical backdrop of an overheard telephone conversation. You are able to trespass amongst the personal spaces of Lydia Lunch, Nicole Blackman, Louis Campbell, Big Bren and Geordie Blake & Louise herself. *********************************************************************************************
Every time you receive a ‘pocket call,’ you become a secret audience to someone’s life. Will you tackle with your conscience and eavesdrop into the private lives of the unknown?
**********************************************************************************************
"Only a Phone Call Away" is exactly that: a telephone recording of a different daily life story that you can access by calling the numbers that will be available between 19th May-2nd June (calls charged at local rate) at any point throughout the Fierce! Festival.

I shall soon be commencing my time in your city, anyone that fancies taking me under their wing, I would surely be grateful for. (as long as its not too stinky). I mean, how do you get on a bus? And where is best to buy my baked beans and crisps? Beats me. :-) I made a little new video and its on my page if you would like to see. I have butterflies in my stomach right now, as I know there is so much fun to come,,yayyy!! If you have bought something from me, take a sexy photo and you can star on my page..joyo. Anyway, love to you all my dearest pooheads. Now, you’ve heard my threats, go buy something so I can pay for my crisp addiction. Mwah xxxxx

Trying to desperately find a job, but once I’ve done that, I’ll be looking for projects to get involved with, so if you need photographing, or wana photograph me, or get together and draw or any adventure really, gimme a buzz. That’s all I have to say really, wow, bet your glad. Sheesh. Excite me! Tell me your secrets! And join my circus! xxxx alis
We've just posted lots of photos from our crazy Phase 0 EP release party at the IVAR in Hollywood last month. Also we have another new song called Going Away on our page from the 17-track Waking Man album that will release when we kick off our U.S. West Coast tour in September right here in L.A. In October/November we're touring across the United States. We're booking our shows right now. It's pretty exciting!
