TC Lethbridge – 2000TC – Standing On The Verge Of Getting It On 

7 March 2016Mark

Long, long ago in in the deep forgotten past, three musicians came together in an ancient landscape and made music that drifted away, seemingly lost for all time. This was in Wiltshire around 1992, to be more precise. The band was TC Lethbridge. It contained Doggen and Kev Bales from Spiritualized/Brain Donor and the artist Flinton Chalk. The band did not last long - they imploded before they had even played their first gig. But something happened to these musicians as they practiced, wrote and recorded in the Neolithic village of Avebury in the early nineties. They were marked by the experience. The album they were recording as they fell apart…

TC Lethbridge – Neo-Psychedelic rock troupe missing for 23 years by Guy Hirst

4 September 2015Mark

Made up of two long standing members of space rock pioneers Spiritualized (Doggen, Bales) and named after the radical archaeologist turned occultist T.C. Lethbridge, the band return with three re-issues of their self-released albums recorded in the early nineties: Moon Equipped, Mina and 2000 TC – released November 23rd 2014 via Iron Man Records. T.C Lethbridge is Kevin Bales, Tony Doggen Foster and Flinton Chalk. The re-issues promoted their first public performance in 23 years last November at Liverpool’s Cosmic Trigger Festival, a theatrical production and continuation of the Illuminatus Trilogy - a satirical story of drugs, sex, magic and conspiracy theories – which was originally adapted to stage by legendary…

Flinton Chalk – 111hz Cairn T Soundtrack

4 September 2015Mark

WARNING! THIS TRACK CONTAINS 111 HERTZ WHICH MAY INDUCE A STATE OF TRANCE PLEASE LISTEN RESPONSIBLY. The soundtrack to the Cairn T film and art installation composed and produced by Flinton Chalk (also of the band TC Lethbridge), performed by The Barrittones choir in the prehistoric chamber of Cairn T, Loughcrew, County Meath, Ireland. 111 Hertz is the average resonant frequency of the Neolithic monuments archaeoacoustically tested by Cambridge University. Medical pilot trials to date have established that this frequency increases activity in the right prefrontal cortex of the human brain whist reducing activity in the left prefrontal cortex. In 1996, Cambridge University and Princeton University USA published the results of…

The Story of TC Lethbridge – 2000 TC: Standing on the verge of getting it on by John Higgs

8 January 2015Mark

Automatic writing in the sacred landscape. Established 1991. TC Lethbridge - 2000 TC (Released by Iron Man Records - 23rd November 2014) If you spend too much time in a state of mind which prevents normal perception, behaviour, or social interaction you might end up running a record label. Living life in a completely deluded state, generating massive debt for no apparent reason can be difficult to keep going for more than 17 years at a time but, it seems by some terrible mistake I've made it look relatively easy. But anyway, enough of that, I want to explain something. I went to a meeting last year year, the back room…

The square root of the M25: Gimpo’s 25 Hour M25 Spin

5 December 2014Mark

A witness statement from Iron Man Records 2014. I didn't get much sleep the night before, I had been working on the release of the new John Sinclair record "Mohawk." By the time I climbed into the car and started the engine it was 10am. I drove to London and dropped the car in Brentford, West London. I picked up the keys. I had a 9 seater VW Splitter van on hire from DYC Touring and headed to Shepherd's Bush. I wasn't due to meet the band until 3pm so I had a bit of time to park up and make phone calls. If I was applying for a job I'd…

How To Burn Money

1 August 2013Mark

From: Iron Man Records To: All Agents Edited transcript of a "Friends of Positive Void Communications" update for dissidents dissemination. An action took place on 23 August 1994, in which the K Foundation burned cash, the amount of one million pounds sterling, on the Scottish island of Jura. The incineration was recorded on a Hi-8 video camera by Gimpo. In August 1995, the film "Watch the K Foundation Burn a Million Quid" was toured around the UK. Thirteen short months from now will be the 20th anniversary of the burning. We have been in discussion with organisers of certain film festivals who are keen to mark this special date by showing…
