Neon Neon - 'Hammer & Sickle' from Lex Records on Vimeo.

Check out the new video from the 80s-inspired electronic pop duo Neon Neon as premiered here, made up of former Super Furry Animals frontman Gruff Rhys and producer Boom Bip. The band’s second album, 'Praxis Makes Perfect', will be released later this year, and is built around a rather unexpected protagonist: a little-known 1960s Italian publisher and political campaigner by the name of Giangiacomo Feltrinelli. A Communist activist, Feltrinelli traveled the world making friends with Third World radicals like Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, before he was found dead under suspicious circumstances at the foot of a high-voltage power line outside Milan in 1972.

I'm glad Neon Neon is back, but decontextualizing Saló [an attempt to express the horror of fascism] into palatable risque blipverts is makes me sad.

Anyone who founds a theatre called Dirty Protest like yer man Tim Price, can really only be loved by the radical 'Urban Latte' Crew.
Sad coz its a fascinating story, it's tentacles seem to have reached as far as Blackfriers Bridge
