The Big Short 2015

Devo was among the most thought-provoking bands to emerge in the aftermath of punk, but before hits like “Whip It,” Devo worked in the basements and garages of Akron, Ohio, to make raw, unfiltered music that the group called “Hardcore Devo.” In the summer of 2014, Devo did 10 shows performing these seminal pre-fame songs, created between 1974 and 1977 and rarely played since then. Shot at the Fox Theater in Oakland, California, this exciting concert film captures these groundbreaking artists performing the songs that started it all, interwoven with interviews revealing the history of the band.

MQR is once again proud to present our newest title, Forever and Ever, a mashup of The Division Bell and The Endless River designed to make The Division Bell less radio-friendly and The Endless River less avant garde. It is intended as a true final Pink Floyd record, an alternate reality version of what should have been released in 1994.

Conceived in late 2013 and inspired by the likes of John Zorn and Frank Zappa, Sydney-based 7-piece Facemeat is abrasive, uncompromising, and unsettling. Rooted somewhere near the transgressive art tradition, its upcoming album “Questions For Men” deals with the more abject elements of modern masculinity, such as violence, jealousy, anxiety and rage. Facemeat weaves tales of the most abject facets of love and lust, angst and ennui over restless rhythms and through sickly harmonies. The music engages and unsettles, whilst its vocal lurches between soft, calming crooning and feverish, manic ranting. A typical Facemeat experience begins with a feeling of unease, is then yanked down to a dank, desperate place before being launched home towards triumph and elation.

It's patently obvious for everyone that Martial SOLAL is virtuosity itself. Even with an unlimited technical skill he never lets himself be content with this utmost proficiency. Because music can never confine itself to such a necessary mastery, he set himself other goals. Throughout the constant clinch with the piano, forever trying to progress - even beyond what is possible - towards that horizon of the ideal where the improviser, free from any technical concern, can at least reach the unbelievable. With such a degree of perfection, even improvisation becomes obvious.
