World Destroyers' Pleasure Club (WDPC) exists to create a musical experience intended to be engaged with and participated in as much as listened to; to offer a shared moment of pleasure to temporarily lose ourselves (not our keys) in. We see that we are World Destroyers (if you are reading this then there is a possibility you are one too) but once we become aware of something a change begins to occur. We welcome this change. We call it the Polywave and it is a multidimensional expression of a wave of possibility hurled from the sea of the unknown heading for our shores of the known. Its expression is without limit as to application creatively or practically, unconfined to any medium, open, in constant flux, ever becoming and defies definition. This change tends to spread to other areas of our lives that weve tried to keep in tidy separate compartments and alters them too, unifying the fragmented. Some of the ways we express it are dance, song, poetry, painting, drawing, surrender to ecstatic states alone and with one another etc. there is no telling what it will be tomorrow. WDPC has performed at venues such as Permanent Records Roadhouse, Zebulon, Lodge Room and more, both headlining and supporting artists such as The Intelligence, The Black Lips and The Nude Party. Nicknamed The Mysterious Party Band, theyve been told they sound like a "Gospel Devo" by DJ Al Lover (Fuzz Club Records), and drawn comparisons to Talking Heads, The Fall, Butthole Surfers and Peter Gabriel. As influences they cite artists as varied as Hailu Mergia, Psychic TV, Scott Walker, Fela Kuti and Red Crayola but these influences dont necessarily reveal themselves sonically as much as resembling the spirit in which they were conceived. Artist Neight Trion, the principal songwriter, spends as much time on the lyrics as composing the music, aiming for both to be strong enough to stand on their own. Membership includes a revolving and evolving collection of instrumentalists and collaborative mimetic entities but the core members are Neight Trion, singer/keyboards (The Black Angels, The Shine Brothers), Rocky, bass guitar (Death Valley Girls), Jay Eraser, guitar (Grooms, Roya), Oh-Ra, drums (?) and Malware, synth (Dead Meadow). Hailing from all across the US and Europe their operations are based in the Los Angeles area. Armed with their eponymous debut released by Blow Your Mind Records based in Santiago, Chile, theyll be coming to a town near you and preparing the way for the coming Polywave. This is only the beginning, the first stages of metamorphosis. They invite you to join them in their pursuit of the communal ecstatic experience. |
