Don't forget to feed your Buddha Machine some freshly-charged batteries to keep them droning. What's a Buddha Machine? http://www.fm3buddhamachine.com Where do you get them?

Fresh from their ALMOST LiVE performance on PiNG RADiO comes our new friends from Quebec, Anachronic XP. Tired and bored of traditional hip-hop, Quebec City based Anachronic XP began their experimentations in 1999 by evolving their music into a mix of electronic soundscapes with hip-hop beats and patterns. Anachronic XP is a fresh breath from the Quebec electronic scene as they perform all the beats & scapes live onstage with synths, samplers and control boards. Guitarist JFO joined the band last year, bringing his flavour of slide guitar, effects and synth to the mix. http://www.myspace.com/anachronicxp . Please note that the PiNG will be starting earlier and ending earlier this week to make room for the DRAKE's special presentation of Sweden's LO-FI-FNK at 11PM ($7). LO-FI-FNK is a hot new 2 piece electronic dance duo from Sweden, drawing comparisons to Hot Chip and Pet Shop Boys. Expect a sweaty dance floor and fun times. Doors open for LO-FI-FNK at 10 PM. Arrive early for the PiNG's presentation of REPAIR and ANACHRONIC XP as the first set will start soon after we open the doors at 8PM. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
