Legendary UK electronic act Attrition have released nearly 30 albums over a 30 year period. The mastermind behind Attrition, Martin Bowes, last year gave up his day job teaching music technology, and opened up his studio called ‘The Cage’, which is part of his house, to public clients. The studio had previously been used primarily since 1993 to record and produce Attrition Material. In this interview for COMA he gives us an insight and talks about his hopes and dreams for the studio. (more…)
So what is this fundraiser all about? Well, we have shot all our live footage with the same $200 camera for the last five years and now that camera is starting to fail. This presents the perfect opportunity to upgrade to hi def for more awesome videos and the camera I have found? Holy shit is it perfect for live footage.
In addition to that, US Airways busted the main lens I shoot live photography with when we went to Cyber Genetic Winter Fest so that needs to be replaced as well. So that, in a nutshell is what we are trying to accomplish here. Take a look at the incentives and be ready because it goes live at 10am MST March 14th, 2012.

Announced today by their booking manager, UK electronic music band Attrition have withdrawn from the spring Darkfest tour due to personal problems. Attrition emerged from the experimental post-punk scene of the early 1980s and, along with other groups such as Throbbing Gristle, Coil, Einstürzende Neubauten, and In the Nursery, greatly contributed to the development of industrial music in the UK. Still active 30 years later, Attrition have been a stanchion of darkwave and industrial music, influencing many younger bands in the genres while continuously fine tuning their own distinctive sound.
With the cancellation of Attrition, the promoter for the HiHo Lounge show in New Orleans, LA pulled out of the tour.  Without the New Orleans show, Inertia was forced to cancel as they could not afford the significant travel costs associated with the tour.
