Children of the Bong live in Cambridge, May 1995
After Children of the Bongs's storming return to live performance two weeks ago, it seemed a good moment to repost this video of them playing live and being interviewed back in 1995 when they really were only just past being 'children'!! Filmed at a Megadog gig at Cambridge Junction in May of that year, we used the video to promote the band in the US. Though the full length video of this gig was never retained, we recorded the audio of this live performance in full and that live recording, now professionally mastered, will be included as part of our forthcoming triple CD package 'Sirius Sounds Expanded' scheduled for release on July 22nd.
Timeshard - Arzach
Arzach by TimeShard wasn't ever a formal Planet Dog release but we used the track on a promo video that we made for the band back in 1995 which you can find in an earlier post on this page or on the Planet Dog youtube channel (under the title Timeshard Live in London). Steve from the band put together this up-psychedelic'd version of the video which looses the band interview sections from the original and turns the focus on their live performance instead. Filmed at a Megadog event at London's Brixton Acedemy in 1995, this video deserves an airing in its own right.
Timeshard - Metatron's Cube
Taken from Timeshard's album 'Hunab Ku', this is the video the band made for the track Metatron's Cube, one of the tracks on our new triple CD reissue: Timeshard - The Planet Dog Years.
Timeshard The Planet Dog Years
Timeshard - The Planet Dog years is the next release in our series of Planet Dog remasters and is scheduled for release on January 21st, 2022. To mark the release, those nice people at Cherry Red Records produced this little oozing video of the album's front cover intended to replicate the moment when you realised that you'd lost track of just HOW many mushrooms you'd put in the teapot. Sadly, the technology doesn't yet exist to make the actual album cover ooze in quite the same way without the assistance of mind altering drugs :)
Timeshard live in London. 1995
....and for anyone who didn't catch it first time around, here's a timely reminder of just how much @Timeshard were the antithesis of the average live techno act of the early 90's: hilariously described in a contemporary interview as generically looking like (a bunch of blokes) 'doing their geography homework on an ironing board onstage'.
Eat Static - Prana
Here's the final video taken from Eat Static's 1994 video album Intrusion. This is the video for the track Prana which was originally released a year earlier on the band's debut album Abduction. Another trippy eye-popper that kept folks entertained on late night MTV back in the Bronze Age of dance music culture. Prana will be re-released on the digitally remastered triple CD reissue of Abduction scheduled for release on September 17th. Available to pre-order from Cherry Red Records and from the release date via all record shops of superior quality 🙃
Eat Static - Warp Spasm
Here's another video from Eat Static’s 1994 video album Intrusion. It’s for the track Warp Spasm which until now, was only ever available on the video album. Having been remastered, Warp Spasm will see its first proper audio release as one of the bonus tracks included on the forthcoming triple CD reissue of Eat Static’s album Abduction, scheduled for release on September 17th via Cherry Red Records. Eat Static’s album Implant will also be released as a remastered expanded triple CD reissue on the same date.
Timeshard - Metatron's Cube
This suitably trippy video for the track 'Metatron's Cube' was produced to promote Timeshard's album Hunab Ku back in 1996. It's a proper rarity that was only ever shown a handful of times on MTV's late night 'Chillout Zone' broadcasts before being consigned to Planet Dog's video vault where it has languished ever since. This is the first time it has been available to view since 1996!
