First Sightings...

We have first sighting of the vinyl version of The Songs of Baron Samedi on Australian soil....get over to CONQUEST OF NOISE records and ORDER your copy.

Review of Baron Samedi tape in The Wire

Go over and get your copy of this "Sharp" album at S O F T A B U S E

Vinyl version is coming soon (it really is!) on CONQUESTOFNOISE

And as many of you know this is by no means our second release. You can hear just some of the stuff we've created and managed to wrangle into digital files, CDs and vinyls over at THE SCRAPES BANDCAMP and you can still buy CDs and vinyl of both Kali Yuga Sunrise (2011/12) and Electric Mourning Blues (2010) at your local record store, online and from ALL IS NUMBER RECORDS. These items are very very very close to becoming sold out! Whether we repress is anybody's guess.

And to further comment on the review - we Scrapes feel it is simply the RIGHT THING TO DO to acknowledge the traditional owners of Australia since our government and sadly still the vast majority of our people don't. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

Merci touts le mondes,
Adam,
Les Scrapes

Adam Cadell Solo Tape Launch 17 JAN

17 Jan 2016

Street Music Vol. 1

Tape Launch

Supported by The Steady as She Goes

AT The Junk Bar, Ashgrove, Brisbane.

Tickets $10

DOORS 6:30PM

Join Adam Cadell of local instrumentals duo The Scrapes, for an evening of broken-down fiddling tales, recently aired to audiences in New York and Helsinki. Cadell's forthcoming album "Street Music Vol. 1" continues with his dissident approach to the fiddle, but moves away from past electric drone-based works and into a regressive world of of fiddle-based storytelling, constructed from fragments of songs uncovered through ramblings with hillbillies and nomads in the US and Senegal. His 9th solo outing to date, Street Music Vol. 1 will be released as a limited edition set of hand-crafted cassettes by US label Cabin Floor Esoterica. The launch will be opened by the dark balladry of The Steady As She Goes.

It's been a long time between posts...

The Songs of Baron Samedi tape edition is still up for sale at SOFT ABUSE records and is probably also in some of your local stores and online retailers. It is a very limited run so don't hesitate on picking that one up or forever regret not getting it.

CONQUEST OF NOISE records are still waiting for the delivery of the vinyl edition of The Songs of Baron Samedi and we recommend you get your pre-orders in ASAP to guarantee you get a copy once it's finally unleashed. We apologise for the delays those of you who have pre-ordered but it's out of our control. Blame it on Pink Floyd needing to reissue every one of their rubbish post-Barrett albums in 60 different colours.

CONQUEST OF NOISE are also previewing the album on their bandcamp. Get it in your ears now.




We still have plenty of music for sale including the last remaining copies of the cult Kali Yuga Sunrise album on vinyl over at OUR BANDCAMP

Adam is somewhere in Senegal near Mauritania....Godz know where Ryan is...but rest-assured The Scrapes is alive and well and ideas are forming for the next recorded beast...expect some live gig announcements for 2016 as well...sometime...

Until then...

Where?

If you're in NYC you'll find ADAM hanging around here this weekend....

The Songs of Baron Samedi Radio Ballad

Dear Scrapes fiends,

We wish to thank all who came along to the JUNK BAR on Saturday eve to celebrate the launch of The Songs of Baron Samedi. Was a fantastic night had by all and the ritual appeased all Gods in the room we are sure. We are most thankful to Mia and Jamie for having us and for the incredible hospitality Thee Scrapes were afforded by all staff involved. All should frequent that bar as oft as possible.

We are pleased to say that a very limited number of Songs of Baron Samedi cassettes have arrived here in Bris and you will no doubt see a couple on the shelves at Rocking Horse Records if you live in Brisbane. If not then G O TO S O F T A B U S E fuckin now and make your order!

The tapes sound and look incredible!

Rewind to Sunday night. We presented a Radio Ballad-stlye preview of The Songs of Baron Samedi on Brisbane radio station (and radical institution) 4ZZZFM 102.1FM. It involved live improvisations by Ryan, Adam and thee mighty TONY IRVING (Ascension/Descension, Cyclone Trio, Unity Gain etc) on drums. Adam presented a spoken word section between each piece with improvisations from Tony and Ryan in the background. These texts will feature in the liner notes to the vinyl version of The Songs of Baron Samedi ONLY and this will be out soonish we promise through CONQUEST OF NOISE records where you can PRE-ORDER the beast and receive a digital copy with your purchase...they even have the album up for streaming on the website at the moment.

A N Y W A Y....the Radio Ballad in all it's demented glory is available as a PODCAST o v e r HERE! so you can listen again and again and again. We believe it will end up there in perpetuity but really that is up to Adrian and Kurt who were most kind to welcome THE SCRAPES and TOny on the show on Sunday. We will hijack the bastards again no doubt. RUSTED SATELLITES is the best.

NOW...The Scrapes will go quiet as a live entity for a few months as Adam travels many corners of the world in search of...well many things. If you want to keep up on what he gets up to on the trip go to Adam's UNDERGROUND VIOLIN BLOG. He will also be unleashing a new tape of solo acoustic fiddle explorations on C AB IN FLOOR ESOTERICA later in the year he hopes...if that link doesn't work simply search the label...seems to be an issue with the link sometimes. Adam's first stop is NYC where he will be jamming with Free Jazz Beat Poet who knows what else and spending plenty of time looking at scores with one of his most serious influences..HENRY FLYNT. Yes it's true. This will all be made possible with assistance from The Australia Council For the Arts, the Australian Government's arts funding body.
