20120331: Music video for "Never Ender" and Part I of the NVR-NDR comic!

This music video for the song "Never Ender" was shot and edited by Bao Vo Creative. The footage comes from the 2010 recording of the NVR-NDR live album Extreme Hyper Impact. However the music in the video is the "studio" version of the track which was released on the legendary compilation "Spring Cleaning Music: Vol. 1" by Robo! Robotica. This is the first ever NVR-NDR music video!

I am also very happy to finally present the digital incarnation of the first installment of the NVR-NDR comic. A collaboration between my brother Evan Shechet, myself, and Ted Nava.



Further installments coming soon! Check the NVR-NDR "story" section for updates and a new bio written by Liz Ohanesian.

10232011: Long overdue update.

It's been way too long since I updated on here. I got a full time job and finding time to work on NVR-NDR has been pretty spotty. However I'm certainly grateful to have a job right now!

Despite that, there has been a lot going on. I collaborated with Kroyclub & Kool Skull to create the track "Brutal Falafel".


available for free download here:

NVR-NDR was featured on the FREAKING AWESOME podcast Solipsistic Nation. Which rooled. You can check out that episode here:

solipsistic NATION No. 257: NVR-NDR, Live

Robot Circus, a totally rad weekly radio show / podcast hosted by everyone's favorite cyborg Johan Ess, also dropped some NVR-NDR beats on their 6th episode.

NVR-NDR performing with My Velcroe

As some of you may know, My Velcroe and NVR-NDR have collaborated in the past. Emily did guest vocals on "Be Who You Are," the first NVR-NDR song to ever be released. I helped produce the as-of-yet undreleased My Velcroe tracks "Holy Mountain" and "Jungians."

You can hear a clip of "Jungians" in this video:::



Check out the Ms. Blong's press release for the The Mythology of Broken Velcroe Land
There are 4 dates!

June 24th
July 1st
July 8th
July 15th

"When pop art meets quilting meets Dr. Seuss meets vaudville camp meets rockshow meets rave meets psycedelic childrens show meets the echo park rock scene, you get The Mythology of Broken Velcroe Land - a Music Spectacular!

Creator and star of the show, Emily Blong describes herself as a hunter of invisible beasts. She spends most nights alone in her home studio playing God to an imaginary place that she calls Broken Velcroe Land. Whether it be converting a fatalist sense of humor into sultry piano pop, hand-stitching wall sized-fabric kajji inspired tapestries, or writing her own "Seussian" style mythologies, everything she creates serves as a puzzle piece to an ever-expanding story about this vivid penal-inspired parallel dimension manifested through musical mantra..

A quilt show gone live action cartoon, Emily's extensive installation of plushie demon dolls and wall-sized tapestries will transport visitors into Broken Velcroe Land and the setting of a magical story about waking up in your own personal hell...and its adoreable. Through a dynamic Electra-cabaret performance, your musical tour guides, Emily Blong and her troop of imaginary friends known as My Velcroe, will unlock the story of this colorful plush purgatory and its synthetic fur inhabitants. You may be tempted to bring children, but you'd be advised to cover their ears at parts because Emily likes to keeps it real; real dark.

Opening June 24, 2011 and the three fridays thereafter, mimes, magicians, puppeteers, dancers and cameo guests will join the performance each week, including garagerock supervillans, Haunted Tiger, a plushie pizza superraver called NVR-NDR, and deathrock star Lucas Lanthier who will pop in with a few tricks. While guests enjoy the open bar, every show will kickoff in the back garden with a new puppet show for grown-ups by Dirtbike Theatre or Three Chairs theatre. If you love magic then be there on July 15th when the Magic Castle’s "W. C. Fields Bar Magician of the Year," six time winner and all star Pop Haydn, will open with his amazing Post-Modern Medicine Show.

Move over Chicks On Speed, and give our regards to Hr. Pufnstuf, life and death are D.I.Y. for Echo Park's own Kate Bush who closes the show with the moral, "Don't let your imaginary friends trap your real friends in your suicide..unless they like music and pizza". This deliciously sinister art/music/theatre hybrid is a must see for crafters, hipsters, post-hipsters, whats-a-hipsters? deathrockers, non-rockers, ravers, high-brow art fans, low-brow artists, high-brow perverts, cynics, suicidal recluses, music critics, food critics, puppet lovers, your mom and dad, bored intellectuals, handicapped gorillas, and those who are "dying" for something new. Who thought burning in hell would be this much fun?

Sancho.1549 Sunset Blvd. Echo Park 90026

Doors open at 7:30, show starts promptly at 8:30.

June 24, July 1, July 8 tickets $17

July 15 w Pop Haydn $20

Price includes complimentary drinks and the time of your life.

This small venue will sell out. To secure your seats please email your name, show date, and the number of tickets you would like to purchase to SanchoSalon@gmail.com or come in to the gallery during business hours 12-6p."

And now for a long overdue blog update. The show at the Smell with Captain Ahab, Divtech, and Flybatsu was awesome. Mega ultra thanx to all those who made it possible, especially Myrrh-Ka-Ba, and Adam Burgett who worked on the backing track and video. Also to the lovely SexyDeathRay who graced the NVR-NDR merch table. Speaking of which, new shirts and bandannas are available, printed by Vintage Printing Company.



I've finally been assimilated by the Faceborg and made a NVR-NDR fan page. LIKE IT plz...

April 30th: Captain Ahab, DivTech & NVR-NDR at the Smell!

NVR-NDR will be opening for Captain Ahab at the Smell on Saturday April 30th with DivTech (face melting breakcore)! In case you don't know, Captain Ahab is pretty much my favorite musical act in LA and a big inspiration for NVR-NDR so this is a dream come true. Genre mashing noise prog super metal electro dance music that has to be seen to be believed.

More photos from the show coming soon, if you have any photos or video please send them my way!

Thank you so much to everyone who helped make that show last weekend the insane psychedelic bonanza that it was. Kid Static is one mega funky mofo, and it was super cool to hear old Kissing Tigers favorites like "I Died in a Mall." Especially thanks to the fantastically spicy Ming & Ping for letting NVR-NDR open the night! What a blast.


I got to do a little phone interview on the end of the newest episode of Solipsistic Nation. Solipsistic Nation is a highly informative free form podcast run by Bazooka Joe, dedicated to "bringing you the best of all genres of electronic music." This episode features a interview with Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto about his new album "Answers Come in Dreams." I got to do a little shout out about the show and about the new free NVR-NDR live album.

Still working on cover of Ayumi Hamasaki with Kawaii Stephanie. Her guitar player Polo is playing live guitar for NVR-NDR now and I am extremely thankful to have him. Club Radium lineup is up in the air but the event is still happening October 30th. Planning a west coast tour with Monomate and Bubblegum Octopus in January.

Very tired.
