- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
More than a mere band, Red Mass is a collective and gathering of minds. The
mass was created by Choyce in 2008 in Montreal and Istanbul with the help of
CPC Gangbangs member the Roller as part of the 'Free Creative Entreprise'
arts collective (formerly linked to the Seventh Order of Chaos). Intent to
pursue the ideals of free thinking, the use of chaos, sex-magik and
liberation through art, this "Rock 'n' Roll" organisation will rip a new hole
in the fabric of our society in these times of economic crisis, catastrophe
and ultimately change. The Mass touches on a wide array of mediums from
animation, illustration, improvisation, art films to music. After years of
preparation and using 'Free Creative Entreprise' collective as a platform,
Red Mass is ready for the big takeover.
For the last few years, Choyce has, as one of its central figures, helped to
give Montreal's flourishing garage and rock n roll scene international
recognition. Having fronted CPC Gangbangs, he now also records and tours with
Mark Sultan. At eighteen he and two partners formed Sultan records and then
went on to play and record with the Irritations, Daylight Lovers, Del-Gators,
Cheating Hearts, Luxury Rides, Les enfants sauvages, Honey and Lies, Milky
Ways, Cocobeurre, Bestalita, Mark Sultan, PiPi and Les Sexareenos with whom
he released three records on Sympathy For The Record Industry and achieved
cult status after touring extensively in Europe, the USA, Canada and Japan.
He then formed CPC Gangbangs, whose live act won them the reputation of one
of the top rock n roll bands in the world. Bound to implode, the band did so,
following the departure of key members and the arrest of a member in the USA.
And now, the Mass has opened itself to all, with a sincere belief that it can
offer young artists and outsiders alike a new haven. With a slew of singles,
10"s, records and experimental releases, Red Mass is ready to hit. Its
psychedelic space rock 'n' roll with elements of noise, folk, punk and
electronic music is a culmination of 12 years of hard work. Dark poppy hooks
laced with strange sound effects, it is an ode to the past, music for today
and the shape of rock 'n' roll to come. Its rotating line-up allows the Mass
to tour extensively and consists of musicians from such bands as Hot Springs,
Chocolat, Black Feelings, DemonÆs Claws and Ghost Limbs to name a few. Having
blown crowds away at SXSW, Sled, Pop Montreal & North by Northeast Festivals
to name a few Choyce & Red Mass can now offer young artists a place and
atmosphere where they can learn how to produce and promote their own art.
