Brigid Power-Ryce is a TOW success story… back in May 2009 we played Wild Grin for Tom on the show and he loved it, we loved it and then it all went silent. Until we got an email a few months back from Brigid with new songs, a six month old son and a support slot with Tune-Yards and Beirut at Brixton Academy on September 16th – yeeeeha! The new stuff is as captivating as what we heard before – eerie, haunting and beautiful. See you on the 16th!
*Micropixie – Testosteronica
Micropixie sent us this little disco-funk gem a few weeks ago, from her album ‘The Good, The Beige & The Ugly’ (An Intergalactic Feminist Spy Thriller) on One Little Alien. Micropixie has made the track with UK-based, Grammy nominee Paul Horton and it’s massively groovy. Micropixie says of herself: ‘Made in Bombay, born & raised in the UK, and based in SF-Oh!, Micropixie aka MPX is the extra-terrestrial alter ego of writer, fillum-maker and fulltime human being, Single Beige Female.’
The song is about Micropixie’s experiences in the music industry – ‘Testosteronica’, ah hem, a sentiment that’s right up our street! Also, 10% of the sales from Testosteronica will go to Women’s Audio Mission, a San Francisco based, non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of women in music production and the recording arts.
