FixmerMcCarthy performs tonight at Das Bunker.
Douglas is the voice of
Nitzer Ebb, who you may have heard since the 80s on
such dance classics as "Let Your Body Learn", "Murderous" and the top
ten dance hit, "Join In The Chant". While the band had other hits,
including "Control" and "Lightning Man", it was "Fun To Be Had" (also
a top ten hit) that actually landed them much more commercial exposure
due to
MTV's 120 minutes.
They toured the world with
Depeche Mode, worked for years with
Flood (who produced U2's The Joshua Tree and
PWEI and nearly everyone who was amazing in that
era), collaborated with
William Orbit (who produced
Beth Orton and Madonna) and they even were remixed
by
George Clinton of
Parliament Funkadelic Apart from Nitzer Ebb, Douglas has also contributed vocals to
Client,
KLOQ,
MOTOR and
TechItch/Shok, a project I have with Mark Caro, who
is celebrating his birthday today! You can
listen to a promo clip of our song with Douglas I just uploaded, by clicking
the image below which will take you to the myspace page.
Terrence Fixmer will be summoning the music tonight
and he is one bad fellow! He wrote a fun dance track in 98,
"Electrostatic", that made its way to the top within one year. Now,
together with Douglas, they are storming the dance floors and festival
grounds around the globe for maximum dance capacity!
Douglas's music as Nitzer Ebb,
had a profound impact on me as a teen and even today. First of all,
you could not go to a club in the late 80s or early 90s that played
dance music and NOT see someone wearing the NE shirts, particualrly
the Showtime era from 1990 forward, which was a huge seller during
their tour with Depeche Mode.
He and I became friends and went on to work together on music. We
have been on many journies... even the trials of vehicle malfunction
in the hot desert when both of our mothers and my doggie, Miss
Pooch-A-Rilla were stuck! (We did prevail!)
I am looking forward to supporting this man tonight and dance dance
dancing!
Together, FixmerMcCarthy will take the stage at the local
Los Angeles,
DAS BUNKER this evening. Be prepared to see some hard dance beats and
some familiar vocals. Often, they perform new takes on some Nitzer
Ebb classics.
Get your rivet on this evening!
Open 10pm - 3am @ The Catch One 4067 W. Pico Blvd. Los Angeles, CA
