\"\"<\/a>When I first heard Squarepusher, it was 1997. \u00a0I was driving alone on the BQE, having just extracted myself from an unfortunate romantic entanglement. \u00a0Or perhaps I was dumped. \u00a0Either way, after just a short time on the road, it was beginning to dawn on me that not continuing this particular relationship might actually improve my life. \u00a0A lot. \u00a0That ended up being true, of course, but at that moment I wasn’t entirely sure. \u00a0To sooth myself, I scanned the New York radio dial, hoping to hear something wonderful and crazy. \u00a0I did.<\/p>\n

By the time the aptly named “Male Pill 13” had run through its 8:38, I knew my life was not going to be the same. \u00a0I squinted my ears, so as not to miss the name of the artists. \u00a0I may have even had to wait through another song or two. \u00a0And I had nothing to write with and about 2 hours of driving left. \u00a0But when I finally did find out who was responsible for that amazing, shocking sound, I didn’t forget: The Squarepushers.<\/p>\n

Well, it’s easy to see why the DJ made that mistake. \u00a0It sounds like a band, sort of,… well, a band with a coked-up, six-armed tasmanian devil on drums. \u00a0Of course, I went on to learn who Tom Jenkinson was and the rest is history. \u00a0I’ve even been lucky enough to see him do his magic act in person a couple times.<\/p>\n

But now, there is<\/em> a band.<\/p>\n

Shobaleader One members:
\nSquarepusher: Bass\/vocals
\nStrobe Nazard: Keyboards
\nSten t’Mech: Guitar
\nArg Nution: Guitar
\nCompany Laser: Drums<\/p>\n

And on October 19, we will be listening to that band. \u00a0I urge you to click below for a sample because it is wholly out of hand.<\/p>\n

Squarepusher presents Shobaleader One – Megazine (taken from d’Demonstrator)<\/a> from Warp Records<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
