Supermarket: audio-visual immersion (Fringe shows Feb28, Mar 1&2)

Brace yourself for the Supermarket experience; a performed fusion of original experimental cinema and dynamic electronic music. Created in the USA, Canada and Australia and enjoying a limited Australian premiere season, local Danimations artists Dan Monceaux and Emma Sterling remix real and imagined space like you’ve never felt it before.

As seen recently at Shores on a New Year’s Day, Salmonella Dub and Calyx gigs, homegrown audio-visual act Supermarket is hosting three performances during this year’s Adelaide Fringe. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to soak up the experience in the Mercury’s intimate 38 seat Iris Cinema, with a different support DJ for each show. Each show will feature expanded live VJ and musical elements, including keys, samples and vision mixing and an artist talk and Q&A session after the set. The Supermarket set serves up all-original tunes that range from dub through dancehall and drum n bass.

After breaking the act in with a mini tour across Canada and the USA in November-December ‘07 the act has big things brewing, from an independent DVD-EP release We Never Close (preview copies available from their website) to further touring opps that will take the act across Australia, Canada, the USA, Jamaica and Japan in 2008.

I am SO there!!!! *books tickets*

wow, that was fast work anna... i hope you dig it... 

u know me, love a show! and I wanna check some good fringe shows this year

sounds really cool! cant say Ive checked a Vj set before. should be different

Yeah, looking forward to this.. it'll be our first 'big screen' set since we returned to Adelaide in December. There aren't too many people walking the path we're on...

i'd be keen for that for sure

I guess we are on the same page, or path even (a dusty cobblestone number right?).
Sounds interesting, will check it.

it was certainly dusty and cobblestones in Mexico... though that footage hasn't quite made it into the show yet...

Reminds me of an out of body experiance I had on ketamine, my car turned into a donkey drawn cart carrying spices and medicinal elixir (don't worry I wasn't driving), coming out of the k-hole re-entering a realm of comprehension for some reason the first thing that came out was "I.I've j.j.juuussst beeeen to mexico, are you cunts fucking with me or what?".

i feel an idea for a Supermarket vid coming on....

 

This sounds pretty cool. Didnt realise that it was you doing this Dan. I remember you telling me about this a while ago while it was still an idea in progress. Well done mate, looking forward to checking this out.

Hey Pat, good to hear from you... if you make it down for one of these shows, def. bring your camera

Also AM'ers... I've added a link to our Supermarket Facebook page to the listing... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6571108799

hey Dan

we'll most likely make it to one of your shows!

Sweet... nice to meet you (briefly) the other night J... check our sh!t out, and maybe we could team up with the dubstars sometime. Hey have you heard Mark Pritchard's stuff? Best discussed in another thread... he's working on some stuff for Warp, and lives in Sydney... plays dubstep shows over there... once again, I digress...

yeah man, you looked familiar and i wondered if you were a mate of chris flannies.


i know of pritchard and his sydney connections, but not personally.

just a lttle memory jogger folks... seats are strictly limited to 38 heads per night, and fringe is rapidly approaching... don't miss these shows before we head back to Canada for another production residency and tour! It's a long wait til winter for the next local Supermarket appearance...

well done Dan, glad its going well for you. Must come out to check out the show

COMPETITION now open... win 1 of 5 preview copies of 'We Never Close', our debut DVD-EP... here's the link... http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=6571108799&topic=3711&ref=mf

yay we are getting tix tomorrow, for myself my boy and my friends

Hey guys, if you're interested in a sneak peek at the visual for this show, we've posted a few pics on Facebook... check 'em out... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=18942&id=6571108799

got tickets!!

the facebook pics are fab, looks like it will be quite a journey! who is djing for you?

Derek Lang, Batch & trebek are taking turns (in that order)... DL will be playing some funky shynola, batch some liquid & brazillian beats, trebek will play some minimal, ambiet, and some warp records vein material... should be dope...

dunno how i am going to sit down through the performance!

well, if you feel the urge to get on up, there'll be some room at the front... basically our show will be bracketed by dj sets, so there's def. a chacne to boogie pre and post Supermarket... don't hold back now..

haha, and with the cheap-as bar prices at the merc...might be a dance party indeed!

Look out for an interview (and possibly giveaways) in the coming issue of Onion, out Thursday.

Some great local features in this issue of Onion... check out the piece on Wellbeing if you can snare a copy... that mag is doing some great work of late

Was massively wanting to hit this up, but with uni starting next week and a heavy work roster at the mo my hands are pretty well tied. All the best crew, looking forward to the reviews!!

tough break Rya... thanks for the support. our next ADL shows won't be til June or July, so you'll have to keep an eye & ear out for those. 

Only 10 seats left for tonight's show (Thursday)... FringeTIX ticket sales for tonight close at 6pm for any last-minute takers.

More seats available for Saturday and Sunday... don't be a stranger if you make it down...

This was awesome cheers guys. Really really impressed. Just out of interest a question I forgot to ask you there, did people give you weird looks when you were filming their uggies?

let's just say that the happy shoppers of Westfield shoppingtowns were none the wiser glad you enjoyed it, and cheers for the chat!

ooh two more sleeps til i get to see it

Nice tunes from B@tch as well.

Batch is playing on Saturday night, and Trebek on Sunday... last night's platters were provided and propelled by Derek Lang.

ooh cool i get to hear/see/meet b@ch! sweet

the dvd is AWESOME, that OPTECH track is freakkkyyy!!!!!! I should get some happy high herbs into me before going in i reckon, definitely decent tunes and visual to get u tripping out even on a morning cup of coffee!

YAY tonite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Will be checking this out tonight. Last show! 

it was SOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun n super cool

last show... until june/july at least

Canada's calling, baby! 

have fun! remember to checkout the tshirt shops in vancouver, there are SOOO MANY!!

got me tickets, we be in there tonoight moit!

i recommend getting there for 8pm, when Trebek starts spinning... our a/v set starts at 8.30... beers are super-cheap at the cinema though, so get in at 8 and limber yourself up

see you there...

cheers for last nite mate good timez

Fucks sake!!! Rocked up to the fringe at 8.30, walked around looking for the tent where this was being held. OBVIOUSLY no luck, seeing as I come back into this thread and discover it's at the Mercury. Idiot! Was looking forward to seeing this! Now I'm gonna have to wait til mid-year?!? You don't HAVE to go to Canada guys... 

 

Awww Keyser... little details like that count! The folks at the box office or a glance at the Fringe guide could have spared you some tears. Whatever the case, rest easy... AM will be the first place to hear about our next show when we get back. You guys have been super supportive, and we're pleased to say that our first crack at event promotion has been a success.

Thanks to all the crew who made it down (and those who tried their best to find us ) especially to Batch, Trebek and Derek Lang for setting the mood with their DJ sets pre and post... we also have plans to get a monthly experimental cinema night happening using the same format... cheap beers, DJ sets and a string of unusual viewing in between from filmmakers and artists around the world. The Mercury's Iris cinema is booze-friendly, so it's the perfect joint for events like this in the future. The hire fees on the venue are reasonable too, so if you have something of your own in mind, don't hold back!

Thanks again... we'll be in Canada as of Friday, but we'll keep in touch and will be reviving our tour blog from last year's adventure.

See you all in June/July...

damn straight, i will be all over that! simon too. keyser, u have to be a part of it too, u'd be perfect to have along for the ride

but yeah, its great having some djs spin in the foyer, and cool film to watch in the cinema. and yes, the alcohol prices are second to none in adelaide!!

Yeah, I'd love to be involved in whatever way I can. Sounds like great fun. It'd be cool to have DJ's spin 'themed' tunes as well, ie. if the film was 'Beverly Hills Cop' (as an example), work an Axel F theme mash-up in there somewhere.

sorry for the hijack
 
i've tried most of it the stuff you smoke is no good if you smoke weed regularly it iwill do absolutely nothing to you not even i can't believe it's not hash!

the herbal pills and gear are no good either if you take illicit substances the herball E or whatever it is just gave me a headache.

If you didn't make the show (or did and want to relive the moment) here's a little review from inthemix.com.au , courtesy of Maximum3d...
